Dude Looks Like a Lady..GaGa
We've all heard the rumors that 'Ga has a teen peen, but that's not what I'm talking about. Nicola Formichetti, Lady Gaga's stylist, recently posted some pictures of a new model "Jo Calderone" for Vogue Hommes Japan's upcoming September issue.

Stripes!
New addiction: Breton Stripes
 |
The stripes start a little lower on the shirt. I bought this shirt, but stripes were white and the shirt was navy blue. The version I bought is not available online, but only in stores. Hurry can get it! I also added an gold anchor button on each cuff sleeve to make it a little more summery. You can buy the buttons at an art-n-crafts store anywhere between $2-5.
Love Knots
Hello! Since my trip to Puerto Rico has been delayed, I've been laden with boredom. My routine of waking up at 10, hitting the gym and then checking my pulse for signs of life for the rest of the day has become..well..boring. I'm counting down the days until I move to my new place closer to DC. With that comes looking for furniture! I have a wonderful chest of drawers that was asking for a makeover. I spent alot (I mean alot) of time looking for the right materials, designs, ideas, etc. And I've finally finished it!
Materials:
BIN Shellac Primer ($10)
Behr Paint in Royal Paradise ($20)
Spray Paint in Glossy White ($3)
Exacto Knife ($5)
Clear Filmy Plastic Folder (What you put documents in)
1. Let's look at the before:
The chest is made of teakwood and the front and top of the chest are laminate wood. This was a problem because you can't use regular primer on laminate. So I did some bloogling (googled various blogs) and found out about BIN Shellac Primer. It lets you prime any surface for painting. Perfect! The only issue I had with this is that it dries in 45 minutes which is good and bad. Good because I can get to the next step right away, bad because if I need to go over a section again, the drying paint starts to make patches and gets sticky. I had to sand it down after it dried to smooth out the surface. (Make sure to do all your painting outside or in a well ventilated area! The Shellac is very strong)
Next, I painted several coats of Royal Paradise to get a dark rich blue. I spent forever looking for a design that I like and wouldn't be too difficult to stencil. Spots are too childish and I didn't want to stencil out a huge ornate design. Finally I found it!
It's called a love knot. I kinda stole the idea from Diane Von Furstenburg's collection of jewelry and shoes.

I found an image, scaled it down to fit my drawers using Photoshop and then taped the image to a clear plastic document sleeve. Then I took an Exacto knife and traced out the image. Initially I tried cardboard with a box cutter but the stencil looked too ragged on the edges. I took the stencil placed it on the drawer and wrapped a towel around the edges. The towel soaks up stray spray while painting. After I spray painted all my stencil drawings, I brought out the blue again and painted one coat over the spray paint. Since the spray paint was glossy it shows through the blue just enough to see the image but hides stray spray marks.
Final Product: (Note: I'm still searching for cute knobs to replace the black ones and I have some minor retourching to do at the bottom. All in all though, I like it for my first home project!)

Juice
Who remembers the movie Juice? If you don't, you've probably stumbled across the scene where Q is having a DJ showdown and the cops showed up. I've never actually watched the whole movie, but somehow my TV always finds this scene for me to stumble upon. Not to mention Tupac is in it.
What does this have to do with anything? Well, 80's haircuts are coming back. No, not the feathered teased hair or the crimping (Thank God) Instead its the fade and shaped hair with shaved patterns. Don't act like you don't know..

Over to Grandmother's House We Go
This past weekend, I traveled up with my boyfriend and his family to Philadelphia. We met his cousins, aunts, uncles and the matron of the house, his grandmother. What to wear?? I wanted to stay cool but keep it conservative. Another thing to note, when packing for the weekend, have a color scheme. It keeps my jewelry to a minimum and in case I stained a shirt, I'd just wear another and no one's the wiser.

Day 2:
The necklace is Daisy Fuentes for Kohls, it can be purchased here.
Day 3:
The dress I have is from Urban Outfitters, but the style is very similar. It can be purchased here.
Do you think these were grandmother appropriate?

What the Hell Are You Wearing?
Completely random side note:
Who do these remind you of? Yes, exactly, Mr. T. I pity the fool who buys these. Let's not make him a new shoe trend.
If you insist though, you can purchase these pumps at your nearest Charlotte Russe or order them online here.
Hot Town Working in the City
Hello!
It may look like I havent posted since May 26, but something went terribly wrong on my last post and I hope I can fix it. Either way, I am slowly getting closer to starting my job and I want to look prepared! As a graduation present, I got this gorgeous..I mean GORGEOUS Gucci tote.
It's very summer looking and yes that is straw. However, I think it would be very appropriate to take to work early Fall until about end of November. First off, its huge! I think the bottom width is 15" and the top is about 20". Since I'm 5'2" it looks like I'm swimming in it but I carry a lot of things, so its perfect. The handles and bottom is made of leather (the smell is intoxicating) and the interior is linen. All in all, amazing.
The next bag I'm lusting over is the Miu Miu Deerskin Leather Tote.
Purchase it here.
With a retail value of $1650, I don't think I can afford the air around the purse, let alone walk around DC with it. At first, I thought it looked like an overdone laptop case. Then I saw it on the model, and it started to look much more versatile. I see myself in a power suit everyday :)
A purse is an accessory to an outfit right? With that MiuMiu leather tote in mind, I plan on wearing this menswear inspired outfit to the office one day:
