Playing Dress Up

Edited by Jordana

I’m in the process of moving to New York City, just in time for Fashion Week, which kicks off in two weeks. In browsing through all the link submissions this week, I couldn’t help but tie it all back to one very important question lingering on my mind – what the heck am I going to wear? This week’s round-up speaks to the art of ”getting dressed.” We have inspiration posts from Cake not Coke and Style on the Street, style how-to’s from Denim Debutante (she was also quoted in the WSJ this week, here!) and The Coveted, and a variety of interviews. One of my favorites was Prom Mafia’s DIY for converting your boyfriend’s tee into a tunic – love it!

For those plannig to attend fashion week, make sure you RSVP for the
IFB Dress Up Soiree and panel discussion on evolving influence! Special thanks to Moxsie and Microsoft Windows phones for their support!

Flowerprint Skirt

I wanted to upload earlier, but between work and helping the parents redo a part of the house I had no time whatsoever!!
Seriously I worked 13 hours today, the parent should have gotten slaves instead of children, I am sure those don't complain as much as my brother and I do ;)

Oh and blue is my new favorite colore with the ginger hair °°°

A Stylish New World

Edited by Jennine

Here we go with this week’s round of stylish links. Editing this week was quite difficult as there were so many great links to choose from and everyone had some fantastic news on the fashion front. One of the great things about the internet is that we can all find out what the smaller labels are doing and thinking. This week we have great interviews from 39th and Broadway, Fabulous Finds Gal, Style Gourmand and A Typical Atypical. We also have a brilliant DIY project on what to do with your fabric scraps on Brick My Lane.

New Hair and an Outfit

I also got a new haircut and color today!!
It (color) was supposed to look like that:


You know red leaning on orange but still natural. Kinda like my original hair color was when I was a kid.
And its not! It turned out like that:


Ahhh my hairdresser never screwed something up before!! I mean I don't hate it but it is kinda extreme for someone looking for a job in HR!! And I look like a punk (if u imagine the white dress to be black)
I will keep it till I actually get invited for a job interview and than change it, or keep it till next monday wash my hair 3 times a day and see how it looks than, it is supposed to wash out a lot, mb she actually didn't screw up and it will look totally like I wanted it after a couple of washes (and than I decide if I want it changed immediately or not).

Here's what I was wearing today:


White Vintage Babydoll Dress
Turquise Earings and BB Bangles
Turquise FlyFor Peeptoes
Turquise EDC Bag


SummerDate

Oh and yesterday I was supposed to go on a double date with my friend, but!!!! the guy didn't manage to get into town (really how hard can it be! I have no car and still manage to show up at the weirdest places 24/7)
So we ended up having a great time the three of us (I know the guy so it was ok) well it wasn't a date anymore and thank god it also didn't feel like one (hello third wheel) but more like friends eating out!!
Here's what I was wearing:



White Blind Date Tee
Nude H&M Hotpants
Turquise Kitten Heel FlipFlop
Turquise Earrings and BB Bangles


SaturDayNightFever

I actually found a job!!!
Which leads to me working shifts and wearing a overcoat and hairnet like headcover all week!!
As I have to be all covered because I work in a clean-dustfree-airfiltered-please-wear-these-cloglike-ugly-but-non-static-chargeable-shoes-with-the-unbelievable-ugly-all-white-coat-room I actually show up in jeans and tee every day!
But here are pics of the weekend outfit, clubbing!!!


Purple Viventy Sequin Tank
Blind Date Jeans Mini
Vintage ostrich leather Clutch
Fishbone Wedges


Vintage ostrich leather Clutch (found that in my grandmothers things and saved it from being thrown out!!)
