Not just for 2.14

Lingerie. Something that most of us feel is only to be worn underneath your clothing or alone in the bedroom. Fortunately, those at Agent Provocateur and I beg to differ. There are two pieces every female should own; A corset & thigh-high stockings. In order to execute these two items without looking as though you're trying to sell yourself, you must pair each one individually with something a bit more casual. For example, try a corset top with some destroyed skinny jeans. Not only do corsets make you look super skinny, they also push the girls up...It's safe to say you can't really go wrong here. The thigh-highs on the other hand, a little more difficult to pull of but definitely not unobtainable. My advice to pull off this look would be to wear the thigh-highs in place of your average pair of tights. This look will elongate your legs and guarantee you some extra attention wherever you end up showing it off.

From my closet to yours...

Once upon a time there was a sweater that all of my friends made fun of me for purchasing... Maybe this is because it was 5 years too early to bring on the ethnic trend, or maybe it was just because they didn't see the amazingness this sweater actually had to offer! Anyway, the girls at work noticed my sweater and immediately decided to make up a similar and MUCH MUCH more affordable piece that you can find exclusively at www.heritage1981.com. I highly recommend getting your paws on a fringed sweater, whether it be "my" sweater, or an awesome vintage one. Just do it. I promise you'll wear it forever, and YES you are allowed to wear this through the summer; though it may look a bit heavy it will definitely look awesome at night paired with some denim cut off shorts...maybe Coachella? mmmhmmm. Now that I have my outfit planned you start working on yours!

Resort 2010 Obsession

Mara Hoffman's Resort 2010 swimwear collection. Check it out on www.shopbop.com. It's selling so fast it's upsetting (let's hope they get some re-orders going)! These suits are cut to perfection. The bikini's have especially scandalous bottoms that are unlike anything I've ever seen. I've never been a fan of the one-piece until I came across this collection. I can only describe these suits as being INSANE and fabulously fringed. It's about time we see some updated and exciting swimwear... I was getting bored! You can see more of this amazing, exotic, vacation inspiring look on http://www.fabsugar.com/3544404?page=0,0,10.

Got the boot

After being on the hunt for the perfect over-the-knee boot I came across Candela's leather boots. I went ahead and ordered the "Over-the-knee Pirate Boot" on Urban. I finally get them in the mail and they look worn! not to mention, a stud was missing. Can you say return? i think yes! Anyway, a genius friend of mine suggested I buy a plain pair of over the knees (Dolce Vita or Steve Madden) and take them to be studded, or better yet...do them myself! i'll let you know how they turn out. WISH ME LUCK! And for those of you thinking "what a waste of time...it's almost spring!" I say "I'm going to wear them next year too"...This I promise!

Introduction

Hi All, I've finally decided to create a blog with the intent to provide YOU with info that you'd never ever know....UNLESS you read this. Though this blog will be mostly fashion based you will often find other useful info as well. Things I'm going to include: Designers you should know about, the opportunity to buy hard to find pieces that only I came across (vintage items, when designers do a line for let's say Target or H&M, along with other special and hard to find pieces that quickly sell out), and a few ideas on how to get things done and find what you're looking for without breaking the bank. I look forward to sharing my ideas with you and wish you all a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!
