Channeling Nico 60's trends in Spring/Summer '12

2012-02-12T13:20:00.000-08:00

60's fashion is back and who better to represent the era in fashion than Nico. I love her so much I may or may not have dressed in all black, blonde whig and carried a tambourine around on Halloween (yeah i know). Her simplistic dark chic style consisting of all black or white and basic makeup made her look timeless. Her long lustrous lashes and thick black liner forced you to look into the windows of her dark soul.

Courtney Love Fashion "KinderWhore"

2012-02-09T15:33:00.000-08:00

I have to admit ever since I saw Courtney Love stumbling out of a party during NYFW last fall I've peeped her blog from time to time. I've always loved and identified with Courtney's style "kinderwhore", which she was known for popularizing in the 90's. My fashion is so often reflected by music/musicians because of course they are so intertwined. I have to say, Courtney Love, you are the most fashionable train wreck I've ever seen and I thank you for that. Below are a couple of my favorite looks/pic's I took from her blog.

Arcadia Vintage Layering and Stacking Jewelry

2012-02-08T21:15:00.000-08:00

Have you ever seen those girls walking down the street with way too much jewelry on? You know the ones who over did it at H&M and F21 then decided to stack everything on at once? There are definitely rules to layering and stacking jewelry. 1st ALWAYS throw in a statement piece, whether it's your fav Hermes bracelet or fabulous Spinelli Kilcollin necklace. 2nd DON'T over do it! Stack either bracelet's or necklaces. 3rd instead of cheap bracelets mix in quality VINTAGE pieces to complete the look. Check out the new 2012 Arcadia Vintage Jewelry video below...

WORST BEAUTY TRENDS 2011

2011-08-30T14:36:00.000-07:00

The feather extensions.. It started with the ridiculous oversized feather earrings then someone had a bright idea to start this horrible feather extension trend. GROSS. Not only is it FUGLY but one farm has even admitted to killing over 1,500 roosters a week to get them! Guess what, you can even buy them for your dogs.

The "I got punched in the eye look". Im sorry but putting black eyeshadow up to your brows isn't cute. You are not Siouxsie Sioux and it's not the 70's. Leave it on the runways people.

Don't get me wrong I have experimented with every hair color you can think of but leopard print on shaved heads is got to go! Enough said.

"Joker"

2011-06-24T13:27:00.000-07:00

Designer Austin Sherbanenko has created his Spring/Summer 2012 collection based on the idea that every soldier wears a "uniform". Though not every man is in war he finds himself donning a type of "uniform" in his day to day life. Odyn Vovk is sexy high fashion but functional rugged clothes for men.

Every little girl grows up wanting to find her prince charming and have him sweep her off her feet. Whether your into the idea of marriage or not you can't deny that these dresses aren't the most adorable, beautiful and fashionable wedding dresses! Tam Kalajian uses angelic sheer material paired with classy corset tops and flirty oversized bows to create the perfect wedding dress. If your searching for wedding makeup always stick with natural flawless skin and wear tons of primer. Im really into BECCA Cosmetics and SMASHBOX primers.

MTV Movie Awards 2011

2011-06-06T13:30:00.000-07:00

MTV Movie Awards 2011 was filled with tons of highlights this year. First and foremost I loved Christian Siriano’s red carpet report! The fashion and makeup this year was killer. Emma Stone had the most simple chic makeup and sexy sophisticated red nails. Her makeup was definitely my favorite. You can create her makeup look by using Ultra Gloss “Addict” by Dior, soft nude “Argan” Eye shadow by Josie Maran and “Super slick Liquid Liner” in black by MAC Cosmetics. For a hot shade for red nails I would try out “Salon Effects” nail polish strips by Sally Hansen.

I had the pleasure of attending Melanie Segal’s Platinum Publicity Red Cross gifting suite at the Luxe Hotel. Check out the links below for my favorite goodies, Sorrelli , Chocolate NY Handbags and LashX .

summer day secrets

2011-05-19T10:11:00.000-07:00

For those of you who know me well I wear a dress, hat, chunky boots or wedges almost everyday. During the day Im very simple and don't like to wear a ton of makeup. A great toner to start the day with is Arcona's Triad Pads. They refresh and kill bacteria that cause blemishes. I never leave the house without my La Mer UV 30 protecting fluid. To get my smokey eye day time look grab some Smashbox powder eyeliner in black. For a pouty stained red lip use Burberry Lip Cover soft satin lipstick. To get a sexy sweet smell use CoCo Mademoiselle by Chanel. After a long day I relax by lighting my brothel scented Modern Alchemy candle and take a relaxing bubble bath using Pure Cosmetics strawberry scented bubble bath!!

With a background in psychology and a fascination with dream states I often stumble upon articles from Jungian theorist and laugh to myself. However there is something to say about the unconscious energy that manipulates the way we dream and feel every night and day. We have of course biological, physiological and environmental factors which come into play when projecting our cognitions and perceptions. There is the universal energy and connection with nature that people often dismiss.

We are one with nature and have been blessed with higher thought. Humans can create, manipulate, love and/or destroy. You can simply stumble through life numb or run and feel life's energy. Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet.

APRIL: Flower Moon Kawoni

First plants of the season come out at this time. New births are customary within this time frame. The first new medicine and herb plants that taught mankind how to defend against sickness and conjury come out now. Streams and rivers controlled by the spirit being, "Long Man," renew their lives. Ritual observances are made to "Long Man" at this time. A dance customary at this season was the "Knee Deep Dance" of the Spring or Water Frog.

synchronicity

2011-03-11T01:34:00.000-08:00

You enter my dream.. I see you the next day. Meaningful coincidence?

Carl Jung coined the phrase synchronicity.
The occurrence of two psycho-psychic phenomena related in some way without any demonstrable causality. It can be that one of the events is an “inner” event in the mind of an individual, such as a dream, that later is played out in the “outer,” physical world.

yesterday don't matter if it's gone. while the sun is bright. or in the darkest night.

Today's weather in LA was so perfect and it sparked that dark summertime magic energy within me. Now its time to start pulling out my favorite spring pieces (baby doll dresses!) and shop for new stuff to add to my wardrobe! My life has been extremely crazy and I've been so busy with tons of exciting new projects. LA fashion week is coming up and Im planning and attending tons of events. With Easter around the corner it's time to hop into 2011 spring/summer fashion.
Perfect outfit : Dark plum lips, pastel eyes and kitty cat eyeliner with a creme mesh tutu, cropped poka dot tea and giant black wedges.. crosses and hats!

Japanese couture obsession

2011-01-02T14:40:00.000-08:00

Japanese couture 2011 fashion and beauty trends are blowing my mind. I am completely obsessed with Japan's style culture, makeup, and well anything Japan!!!! Here are a couple of pics from my favorite designers Comme de Garcon, Share Spirit, and Ann Sui Cosmetics. I also included a video performance by Pop's new and upcoming IT girl Kimberly Cole. Japanese Couture makeup by Wolfe Cosmetics!!

2011-01-01T18:43:00.000-08:00

Spring 2011 beauty trends are all about the innocent baby pink lips, nearly nude cheeks and stunning glitter accents. Here are a few of my favorites….

The Dark Side

2011-01-01T17:14:00.000-08:00

Devious smoky eyes and sensual dark lips have always been considered beautiful and erotic through out film and fashion history. However, this look has definitely been given a lot more hype in the past couple years due to the surge of vampy movie’s and TV shows.. Twilight, True Blood, Vampire diaries to name a few.. YES it is sexy to be a blood sucking naughty little vampire! Duh !! So go ahead and get your dark side on.

Black eye liner was first worn in ancient Egypt by women and men that contained led contrary to popular belief to heal and protect against bacteria and disease. They also wanted to ward off those bad spirits and protect against the “evil eye”. We now find that too much led can cause serious illness and can lead to brain damage among other things. Everyone by now knows to stay away from chemicals, no parabens, and try to buy VEGAN cosmetics but it still gets a bit overwhelming at times. The REAL dark side to the beauty and fashion industry lies in, animal testing, toxic chemicals, overpriced miracle creams, the need for perfection, and ageism I could go on forever.

Good news! You can embrace your inner Goth without the harsh chemicals and products tested on cute little bunnies. I’m obsessed with SMASHBOX jet set waterproof black gel liners. They glide on easy and stay all night. I also stumbled upon Portland Black Makeup Co that specializes in all natural makeup for that un-natural look!! Just remember you can achieve your sexy sinister look without selling your soul.
