Inspiration: NYFW Outfits Moodboard



So I'm finally in NYC if you all don't know by now. This will be the FIRST time I'll be attending NYFW festivities and shows in the city so you must all understand how I'm feeling right now.


With that said, I NEED to look my best walking around the city all that week starting the 9th.

I took to the internet, as I always do to get some inspiration for cool NOT EXPENSIVE outfits that would stand out because I know everyone with money will be in designer everything.

Clothing Line: David Beckham x H&M In Stores

In case you were still wondering about the production of the underwear collaboration with David Beckham x H&M, here are the official ads showing the cut and price. For $15USD the price is still true to the brand.

Just curious to know though, do men buy underwear for themselves based on seeing images like these? Or do the girlfriends go out and buy them for their men?

Trend: The Patterned/Textured Leggings

 The truly year round, legging is here to stay with us for 2012. The bottom replacement garment is just too versatile and easy to style to ditch. 

 You knew plain, solid colored leggings would get boring after a while so now standout with one of a kind DIY, or store bought designed leggings.

Trend: Bow Ties Aren't Just for the Neck

 Designer Marc Clark of MarcClark.com featuring bow-tie brooch designs.

Custom bow-tie brooch by anonymous.

Bow-ties are moving down the outfit when it comes to being worn on the body. If you think a classic bow-tie at the neck is just a little too stuffy but you still want to poke fun at those who still do, than here is a trend suggestion for you.

DIY: Faux Hair Necklace

 Ever thought of using hair as an accessory? No, not on your head but adorned on your body. A DIY hair necklace is worn by citizen crafted himself.

"I'm more interested in jewellery than clothes. The necklace is self-made. It's called Bald Olga. I made my first piece three years ago. It was like the one I'm wearing but made of yarn. Then I started imagining how it would feel if I had long hair."

Hair is easily accessible at a local hair store and it can be purchased by the bundle for very little money. The necklace here is two big braids joined into one and then drapped over the neck.

48. body necklaces

I'm having a pool party for my birthday and was thinking about what I wanted to wear. I didn't want to look lame and just have on swimming trunks. I also want to accessorize. So I came up with the idea to wear a body necklace?? What do you think?
I know it's a very slutty accessory that ladies wear. But who gives a fuck?
A lot of celebrities wear them at the beach. This could easily add a little pop to my oh-so-lame speedo Lls.

The picture above is the necklace that I want to wear, so just imagine me topless with this on...
Sound off.

TV: "The Fabric of Our Lives"


Zooey Deschanel's necklace in the new commercial for "The Fabric of our Lives" campaign is hawwwwt. It looks vintage. I love "different" and crazy accessories, especially diamond jewelry. You will get to know this in later posts about jewelry. Unfortunately though I have no idea of finding out who made it or how much it costs.

I was also browsing Cottons website and saw that Jazmine Sullivan and Miranda Lambert have ads under this campaign. I think it's so cool that they are pushing the natural fabric. Showing people that it is not necessary purchasing expensive fabrics to look good. But on the other hand I think that necklace still is.

recent purchase_aldo "necklace"

I had a bunch of free time on my hands and I was waiting for my friend at the mall. [Not a good thing for anyone to be in]. So I went around browsing. I saw this cute belt chain at Aldo. When I first saw it, I thought it was a necklace! LOl. But came to find out the truth LOl. Wompp Wompp.

The associate at Aldo was like "Yea, I have actually seen a lot of guys wearing the belt chains as necklaces." I was like "cooliness!" The chain was only $18.00 so it's easy on the pockets. Gives an outfit an urban look. 
Sound Off.

Trend: New 'It' Bag?--Longchamps

I have seen too many girls carrying this bag for my liking.
The bag looks cheap and and flimsy. Why would you want to carry this??
I did my research and found out that Longchamp is a famous brand in a Paris...Oops.

By 1955 they expanded to include small leather goods, opening its first factory in Segré. By the 1970s, Longchamp opened its first boutiques in Hong Kong and Japan, and became known for its lightweight travel goods. The "Le Pliage" line is a collection of foldable travel bags made of vinyl and leather trim.

I just don't understand how the bags became popular in the first place. I would not pay $100 for a bag I can get from Wal-Mart, let alone it being used to carry luggage.

Rihanna Wing Earring


I first saw her rocking this earring in the "Live Your Life" music video with TI and just happened to come across it again online. I have a fetish with funky earrings [ie. my fake gauges LOl], so these just really turned me on! I would love to rock one of these. If I find a cheap version in stores somewhere, I will let you guys know. 

PLEASE, PLEASE check out www.RihannaDaily.com, this was were I found this image. The site covers so much about the clothes that she wears!! If your a Rihanna fan like me, then you will enjoy.

Article: Are Fakes Ever Really En Vogue?


 The current rule among designers is that “Fakes are Never in Fashion.” I’ll be honest, I support the fake industry! There is no way to escape it. Every store has items that are “inspired” by high end designer pieces. In Forever 21 there are YSL “inspired” heels, Chloe “inspired” jewelry, and scarves “inspired” by Alexander McQueen. The same is true in so-called quality stores like J.Crew and Anthropologie, which sell bags that look identical to those sold by Marni, and shoes that are suspiciously similar to the Dolce & Gabbana oxford heels. And there is absolutely no way to tell what pieces are knock-offs… unless you obsessively read magazines (like I do)!

The designers often get mad saying that they are losing profit. But honestly, if someone could afford to buy their dream $18,000 dollar Hermes bag they totally would! Those who can’t afford it may find satisfaction in their knock-off version. Some may try to argue that fakes are made is sweat shops with poor working conditions. 

News flash: ALL your clothing (unfortunately) are made in sweat shops. The fakes sold in Chinatown actually have better working conditions because they are run by independent families. Basically, buying fakes is inevitable, embrace it! If you see a piece in a magazine that you like, don’t just add it to your wish list, go to a store and find it. There is bound to be something in there that was “inspired” by your favorite designer.

Trend: Chanel Half Tint Sunglasses

These glasses are showing up all over Hollywood and NY. I was reading blogs about how they are not for sale on the Chanel website. I went to look myself and I didn't see them. I guess they are just exclusive for celebrities now.

If anyone finds them "authentically", on the Chanel website or in-store, let me know.

heel alert_payless

These are the same makers of the heels that I posted last time from Payless. I wanted these shoes so bad but they didn't have them in my size!!! These don't look cheap which is so awesome. The Fioni designer is on point with current looks. I'm loving them! For less than 20 bucks? Who can turn these down?

Tip: How To Quickly Gauge Without The Pain




I love the look of gauged earrings. On the other hand, I do not want to endure the pain of stretching my ear hole. I also don't want to be limited to just gauged earrings if I were to get them. What if I wanna wear diamond studs one day?? Well that's why there are fake gauges available! You can have the look of your ear gauged, but keep your ears there regular size.

There are all types of designs if you do not like this tapered look.

Here is a site where you can purchase some.

recent purchase_man bag

I told everyone that I needed a new bag to carry my books in for school because I was starting college this year. So I have been on the prowl for one for a long time now. The picture above is the bag that I got from Ross

The bag is perfect, it only cost me $25.00!! Isn't that insane??? My bag could totally pass for an expensive designer bag! You can see more pictures of my bag by clicking here. But for the guys out there who may want to know if your store has this bag in-stock, you must go there and see. Ross unfortunately doesn't sale there merchandise online, so good luck with finding it. 
Sound Off.
