La Roux, Part Deux

Wouldn't these looks fit perfectly in the video?

how did you come up
with the name of your
blog There's a scene from Scrubs where Elliot says something like, "Sometimes I like to dance like noone's watching...with the curtains closed of course, just in case someone is watching" I loved the irony of it. I'm all about the irony, and contrast, so I remembered it
and randomly came up with the name when I made this blog. when where you introduced to fashion I've always been interested in fashion and dressing up. But actually having a clue?...haha, that probably happened only when I started high school? Of course, looking back, my look and taste have changed a lot, but I think there's been a common theme all along. how do you describe your style Monochrome, without all the accessories. I also dress depending on where I'm going. I like mixing edgy and girly elements, it's all about contrast. Some days a more girly outfit would make me feel confident, and some days I could feel like looking more edgy, it just all depends.

what made you start a fashion blog I've always loved blogging! I've had some form of a blog since I was 14. I just like being able to jot down and share whatever is inspiring (a lot of which happens to be fashion/model related), to anyone who cares to look. what do you think you bring to the fashion blog world Something other than the hip. And I guess it's nice when you see blogs that don't repost the same photos that you see on every other blog. how is your style different than everyone else It's not that different than anyone else who is "fashion-conscious" because I guess we all share each other's ideas and inspiration. I'm not afraid to follow trends, because going out of your way to dress outrageously to stand out isn't as inspiring as being able to capture the room no matter what you're wearing.
who is your inspiration If it had to be just one person, I'd say Mary-Kate, although I don't exactly think every single thing she does is genius. what impression do you want to leave on the people that visits your blog I want them to want to add it to their vault of inspiration!

Don't Dance Naked

The Not So Mean Streets

Weekends are for comfy shoes, or they should be. The lady behind League, Nena Janus, made my weekend a whole lot comfier by releasing two styles of lace ups with a whole bunch of personality. The League Shin Boots and League High Tops are both equipped with color change features for individual parts of the shoe; Laces, Toe Cap, Sole, Main Body, and Buttons. You can also work the left and right shoes separately for more personality. The shoes are designed to be unisex styles, and the High Tops feature a single attach version to be worn with prim pant cuffs.

Also featured in this post are the new Orange Bottom pants by Cynful, Luck Inc.'s latest the Petite Set, prim jacket and vest by COCO, new ::69:: hair, gloves by Redgrave, and the latest Battle Royale skins from Curio.

Be sure and visit League to check out the new shoes!

Shoes for fall, my fall

נעליים הן מרכיב מכריע בלבוש. הן משפיעות על היציבה ונותנות את הטון עבור האאוטפיט כולו (למה אין לאאוטפיט מקבילה בעברית??!) ומכאן חשיבותן הגבוהה. האמת שאני לעתים קרובות מסתבכת עם הנעליים, משום מה כשזה מגיע לקרסוליים ומטה אני חוטאת לעתים קרובות בקניות שמאוחר יותר מתבררות כטעות. לא נוחות, לא מחמיאות, לא מתאימות לכלום, גבוהות מדי, נמוכות מדי, אלו רק חלק מהטעויות שאני עושה לעתים. לאחרונה אני מרגישה מעין רוויה (אשר וודאי תחלוף מהר) באגף הלבוש ומהצד השני יש לי קרייבינג רציני לנעליים. ארבעת הזוגות האלה הם בעיני 4 זוגות מופתיים המייצגים היטב את רוח הזמן של העונה הקרובה. קלאסי, טרנדי, ערב, יום, גבוה ונמוך, בארבעת הזוגות הללו יש הכל... הבעיה היחידה היא המחיר...

Shoes are a critical component of the dress. They affect the posture and give the tone for the entire outfit thus highly important. I don't know why, but when it comes to shoes I am definitely not the best shopper. I often make mistakes in my choices- not comfortable, unflattering, too high, too low, that's just a partial list of my mistakes. Lately I feel a certain saturation in the clothing zone, but on the other side I have a huge craving for shoes.
Here are 4 amazing pairs of shoes which I think highly represent the spirit of the season, the only problem is the price...

1. Givenchy Peep-toe ankle boots
2. Marc by Marc Jacobs
3. Lanvin Lace-up platform pumps
4. Proenza Schouler Studded leather boots

I have returned!! With a...

Runway post! Yep, it's about a thousand years too late. But hey -- I wanted to do it right, not fast.


Leave it to Italians to capture the sentiment of the Wild West. Spaghetti westerns, indeed... This year's D&G collection reminded me of Sukiyaki Western Django (check it, but only for the costumes... the storyline is horrible), what with its truckloads -- er...wagonloads? -- of denim (shirts, skirts, pants, oh my!), floor-dusting skirts, cowboy boots and bandannas. The latter were even screen-printed onto shirts.



Like style.com mentioned, Sirs D and G certainly do have a routine: "Pick a theme, then whip up the familiar leggy looks in the appropriate fabrics." (style.com) Regardless, they still managed to create a collection that was fresh, attention-grabbing, and most importantly, desirable. Who doesn't want those studded boots, leather oxford shirts, printed shirts and roughed-up denim?

LUAHAN HATI DAN PERASAAN !

kao selalu membuat aku tersenyum.
bile aku ternampak kao,
pasti ku kan tersenyum dan ketawa,
inikah cinta sejati ??
aku tidak mengerti !!
aku tidak suka bercinta, kerana cinta itu merugikan
dan akan membuatkan kita sakit pada suatu hari kelak !!
aku pasrah dgn ketentuan ini !!
apakah yg harus ku lakukan.
kau seperti bunga yg mengembang mekar,
tapi aku pula seperti ombak yg selalu bergelora !
tidak akan aku jatuh hati pada kau,
aku tidak boleh jatuh hati pada kau,
kerana pengalaman yg lalu mengajar ku erti sebenar cinta !
aku sememangnya lemah dan tidak berdaya,
cukup2 lah...

tetapi,
bila aku berjumpa kau kemudian hari,
aku seolah2 berase seperti di awang- awangan,
senyum hingga ke pipi, ketawa sampai tak bersuara,
kao muncul dlm hdp aku skrg,
seperti tiada hari lain dan tahun kau akan muncul !
aku seperti tergila-gila kan kao,
tetapi aku tidak,
itu hanyalah mainan hati, jiwa remaja,
kerana sememangnya aku lemah utk bercinta.

kao sering buat aku tersenyum.
dgn lawak jenaka kau yg bersahaja,
kao sering buatkan aku rase dihargai,
dgn adanya kata2 seperti mghormati dan seolah2 mnjaga aku(protective)
kao juga sering buat aku terkilan,
dengan gurauan manja yg kao lemparkan kepada aku
kao sering buat kan aku menangis juga,
kerana......
entah la.
sukar utk digambarkan dengan kata2 perasaan ku ini !!
;))

Sparkle and Shine

Stiletto Moody treated fans of the BARE Katherine Shoe to more dazzling textures this week, releasing both a series of 3 sparkling Diamante finishes; Gold, Silver & Black, and 8 shiny Python finishes; Albino, Black, Midnight, Gold, Natural, Nude, Red & Silver. The same stunningly high heels with the most elegant sculpted foot possible, the Katherine has the scandalous feel of a spiked platform and the delicate seductiveness of the whisper thin lacing around the foot and ankle, a perfect crossover style for the fashion forward and the fetish crowd alike.


For the curious, the fit on these is perfection, I am a medium, straight out of the box - but small and large sizes are included, and with each the option for further sizing. With the BAREfoot 2 Accessories upgrade you will have access to the charm anklets, toe rings, extra nail polish choices and foot tattoos, if you already own the upgrade for the BARE Katherine then it can also be applied to any additional Katherine Styles.


If you already have your Stiletto Moody Backup Bag, adapting the foot color to match your skin is a click away, but even if these were your first pair of Stiletto Moody BARE, skin tone matching is becoming far less mystifying for most of us with multiple options for obtaining your closest match. Stiletto Moody shoes are available at the Main Store.
