I put my new shoes on

Paolo Nutini - New Music - More Music Videos

My new booties from payless arrived today. I felt this song very appropriate.

I have to say that I've never owned an "edgier" shoe before. Look in my closet and nearly half of my shoes have bows on them! It was time for a change! I was partially inspired to purchase them for the collection I'm currently working on. It's symbolic of my current transition in style. I'm calling it "The Elegant Rebel." Think Karl meets Coco, rough meets delicate, biker chick meets vintage Victorian.

I'm using myself as a model and hoping to actually have 3-4 looks completed before I head back to Sav. I'm hoping I make this goal. Really, really need some new portfolio pieces!

until next post!

*PS* I've been using picnik.com to edit my photos after I read about it on The Stylish Wanderer's blog. It's quite fun and easy to use. I need something to use until my adobe creative suite arrives! Also, I've been posting random things on my tumblog. Check it out if you wish, dears!

Taking my time

I've discovered recently (this evening) the wonders of Tumblr (a little behind the times, eh?) No worries, I shall remain a "Blogger" blogger but a tumblelog is just too darn fun to pass up. It's great for posting just about anything. It's quick and easy to post text, photos, quotes, links, etc. Something else to waste my time I suppose. I mean, twitter, this, facebook, and other random fashion sites and blogs just weren't enough. =)

I'm currently draping something that is now inspired by the image below. I discovered this after picking up a copy of Marie Claire and seeing the editorial with Ashley Olsen and the image of her wearing the Givenchy dress.

In other, somewhat unrelated, news: I'm on the search for a felt floppy hat

and sunnies like these that John Cusack wore in the movie Grosse Pointe Blank
