Demolition Derby

This is what I wore last night to a nearby county fair. I love carnivals… the lights, the music, the unapologetic grime. It wouldn’t be summertime without at least one ride on a ferris wheel.

SAFE

Safe is a new line based in Brooklyn that offers quiet, minimalist pieces meant to outlast trends. Here are my favorite pieces from the introductory collection:
* Button Down Cinch Dress * Silver And White Panel Tee *
I’m not really one for dressing discretely, so I see these as perfect for toning down loud counterparts and [...]

Misfits

I wore this the other night to a dance party. Does it look familiar?
Wet Seal sequin tube top
DIY braided belt - made with scraps from this project
eBay chambray zipper dress modified into a skirt
Brassy pyramid stud bracelet
Gray leggings
Vintage shoes
This dress probably shouldn’t work in theory (sequins, a soft braid, edgy zipper, and chambray?), [...]

DIY How To Tie-Dye / Splatter Paint Boots

What you’ll need:
Canvas shoes. I’m using 80%20 Jackie canvas boots (50% off at Revolve!)
Rubber bands or twine.
Acrylic paint.
Fabric paint medium.
A spray bottle.
Paper towel or rag.
Gloves are optional but recommended.

Start by wrapping rubber bands or twine around your shoes like you would if you were going to tie dye them. But we’re not going [...]

Fashionary

When I first learned about Fashionary, a sketchbook and dictionary for fashion design students, I didn’t think it was for me. I’m a fashion lover, not a fashion designer. I was wrong–this book is very handy. It’s definitely a must for anyone interested in making or designing clothes, but it’s also basically a reference book [...]

Factory Party

This is what I wore to an art opening party at an old warehouse/factory last night. My adorable boyfriend deejayed. If you

Shibori Love/Lust

I first found out about Shibori Love’s supremely awesome hand-dyed tights on The Coveted, and was reminded Along The Shore. At $32-$42 for one-of-a-kind pieces, the prices are fair. The problem is choosing which one to buy. Unfortunately, my finances are so pitiful right now I am considering sacrificing nutrition in the name of style [...]

Jessica And Her Polished Sense

Jessica of Polishedsense.com and I were brought together by our mutual love for 80%20 shoes. It’s like Google was our matchmaker! lol… I found her shoe-slinging site some time ago while searching for a good price on the spring 09 collection, and was very surprised and impressed by her quirkily (new word?) styled outfit recommendations. [...]

White Light/White Heat

This is what I planned on wearing last night to go have some drinks and watch a midnight showing of an awesome old Japanese horror movie. I thought I could get away with the tights and boots because it was supposed to be rainy and cool, but it was too muggy for the tights and [...]
