PONCHO TIME!

 For some reason, I'm totally obsessed with the poncho look that's popular right now. In the fall, what more do people want to wear, than a blanket that counts as a stylish shirt/dress!? Come on, It's great. You can just throw it on over a pair of leggings, skinny jeans or skirt, and your ready to go. By far one of the best purchases I've made this fall and it goes great with everything, and can be worn with heels or flats. I've always been a fan of loose on top and skinny on bottom, it makes for a more slimming outfit.

Halloween/ 20th birthday!

I just turned 20 on October 28th, so to celebrate this day, which was also on the Friday of halloween weekend, me and my friend Yvonne decided to dress up as the white and black swan from the movie Black Swan and check out some Halloween parties.  Here is a picture of our costumes which I thought were represented pretty accurately, if I do say so myself ;) and what a great birthday it was! I got to spend time with my best friends and my twin brother too, happy birthday Sammy!

Alexander McQueens S/S 2012 Collection

Soo, at the beginning of the post I was going to show my favorite design from the Valetino, Alexander McQueen, Lavin, Balenciaga, Balmain, and Manish Arora S/S 2012 Collections.. but as I was sitting admiring the works of Alexander McQueen and struggling to pick my absolute favorite, I decided his genius would be insulted if I only deticated one picture to the post, SO Im going to dedicate the whole thing to him! He truly was an amazing designer and his pieces are phenomenal to say the least. Thank you Alexander McQueen for gracing us with your incredible, mind boggling and unique designs :) 








Jumpsuit Do's and Don'ts

Jumpsuits are definitely taking off in many clothing stores such as Zara, ASOS and Topshop. They are comfortable, fun and easy to wear. They can make or break an outfit so its important that you choose the right jumpsuit for you that fits your personality and style. If you've never bought a jumpsuit before, or are not sure what jumpsuits are too over the top, here are few examples I found from ASOS.com of some do's and don'ts when it comes to picking out your own jumpsuit.

Do's: 


Don'ts: I beg you all NEVER to wear the striped black and grey jumpsuit, it is atrocious.

What's black, white and red all over?

So I just bought these new maroonish red suede heels, and what better to wear them with than my new red lipstick hehe. Plus i love red, black and white together, especially when the majority of the outfit is black and white and you can spice it up with a bright color like red :) I was also having a fun time dancing around on that creepy caged floor, that for some reason i HAD to take pictures on. I guess it goes with my look!...dangerous ;) another day another dime..

The Blue Cheetah

Finally, todays look! It felt freezing outside compared to the hot summer days we were getting, but the sun was out and whenever the sun is out I can't complain! Plus all of the flowers were still vibrant and beautiful :) I couldn't resist standing in the middle of them, only for a few seconds though hehe. I loved the contrast of my blue dress with the red and oragne flowers. So pretty!








Dress and shoes: H&M

Fire and Ice

I just got this pretty red lipstick by Revlon called Fire and Ice and I just love it! Not many girls at my university would dare wear this color lipstick but I'm going to show them how it's done and that they don't have to be afraid of standing out every once in a while :)
