The New Look

I am lovin this music video from Japanese superstar Amuro Namie, styled by Patricia Field. The fashion is 60's inspired, with Twiggy looks, Mary Quant mini skirts, and mod prints.

Art School Confidential

I love dressing up, especially for themed parties because you get to pretend to be someone else for that night. Last week my friends and I went to a school-themed party so we all dressed up as different stereotypes: the nerd, the prom queen, and the art chick. That's us at the party above and below are the outfits it inspired me to create. To see where to buy each piece click HERE

Meet Elizabeth and James

If you didn't already know, Elizabeth and James is Mary-Kate and Ashley's label that they launched in 2007. They named it after their brother and sister and it offers chic contemporary pieces with a mix of casual and dressy and masculine and feminine. This is one thing I love about their clothes, they blend the menswear inspired pieces really well with softer girly pieces.

Another thing I really like is MK and Ashley's aim for this label which is "to narrow the gap between designer and contemporary clothing". Their clothes are incredibly well-made and effortlessly chic, yet they are priced much lower so that women who cannot afford expensive designers can still get great quality and style. I love that the industry is starting to offer more and more fashion forward clothing at reasonable prices today. I think fashion should be affordable and available for everyone, and that is even more necessary now with the economic situation. It shouldn't be about showing off the brand you are wearing, but more about just having your own style and putting it together well. And I think MK and Ashley definitely understand this-they know how to style their outfits so well with a good mix of vintage and contemporary clothing. They always look unique and incredibly chic.

I love the latest Elizabeth and James collection and the way its styled and portrayed on their site is really cute! Above are my two favorites-I love the drape of the gray skirt and the color of the blazer and I never would have thought to pair them together. If you know me you know I just love black, it always looks so chic and it's flattering, so I really like the chic sexiness of the black outfit and the bow bracelet is adorable. Have a look at the rest of the collection HERE

One of my Favorite Places in the World

Chatuchuk weekend market is a gigantic outdoor market in Bangkok, it consists of aisles and aisles of stalls that sell basically everything including clothes, shoes, jewelry, home accessories, food, and even pets. I go there all the time to just wander around and shop, I love just getting lost and stumbling upon hidden treasures.
Here's what I bought today: a black leather motorcycle jacket, CDs(BatforLashes, NME mix, Born Ruffians, Cazals, PeteDoherty),AlexanderWang inspired black cutout dress, ripped up black jeans, and 3 layered necklaces.
