little black dress with spice

Mary-Kate at the Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica on February 21. I'm beginning to dig nude more and more, especially because of her shoes. I've been trying to find out what her dress is. My bet is that it's vintage. It looks a little Balmain-esque with the intricately bejeweled shoulder pads... no sabes.

thumbs up - a couple pieces i'm feeling

I'm in Mexico and I'd love to wear this little colourful Thread Social silk strapless dress at night with a Corona in hand. It'd look great with my tan! Source: Net-A-Porter.

Voila - Fendi's Spring 2009 trompe l'oeil wedges. I just read an interesting article in W Magazine on Silvia Fendi who handles the accessory division of the Fendi fashion house. The goal of these illusional shoes is "to represent the dualism of tradition and the avant-garde that has always been at Fendi," Fendi says. Source: W Magazine.

all tied up

Head adornments can give you a plethora of different looks. Plaid can make you look youthful, Poiret style wraps can make you look posh, tulle can make you look a little rock ‘n roll, bandannas à la Tupac can make you look hood and bubushkas, well, can make you look over 60. Headscarves, neckties, head wraps, bandannas and bows - whatever you go for, you’re sure to turn heads ‘cause there’s something about a bow on the crown of your head that calls for attention.

there's no way

...you haven't heard about these. YSL cage boots. Full stop.

strung-out prom queen

I'm not quite sure why I was drawn to this photo but the body jewelry reminds me of Erin Wasson's LowLuv line (or her rip-off of Bliss Lau's line). Regardless, I want something like this and it would definitely be easy to make. Source: CobraSnake.

weekend shoes

I have a midterm today and then I think it's a good time to start up my weekend. I wish I had a pair of these Japanese booties from a label called Tsuru to crank out for some start-up reading week celebrations. They kinda remind me of Mary-Kate's coveted Balenciaga ankle boots pictured in the photo (obviously the Balenciaga's are incomparable). Party hard! Source: Fashion Toast.

alexander mcqueen does target

I don't know how I feel about Alexander McQueen's affordable line (McQ) for Target. Who What Wear Daily raves about it but I don't think it's anything special. The line is fairly rock 'n roll, but also has a combination of shift dresses and girly hues of blue and pink. Personal faves: the draped zig-zag print dress for a hot summer night dancing and the pretty-darn-cool black studded leather vest. Check out the Target website for more looks. Oh right, I forgot to mention... only available in the U.S. anyway so I musn't worry my head too much over the line. Source: Who What Wear Daily.
