Girl Crush: Go Play a Video Game

By |November 2nd, 2011|Celebrity Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

In case you haven’t already been sucked in by her first single, Video Games, this sultry songstress is Lana del Rey.  Though there is much speculation as to whether she is a product of her management and as to where exactly she came from (she was formerly known as Lizzy Grant)- one thing is for sure: girlfriend can sing.  Her sound is like nothing else out there and her voice is utterly intoxicating.  As if her vocal chops aren’t enough, she is strikingly gorgeous with doe eyes and voluptuous lips (also much speculation on those).  Her self described style is “Gangster Nancy Sinatra.”  She sports big hair and big accessories– and in this case, bigger is definitely better.

Why Did You Wear That: Putting on the Glitz

By |November 1st, 2011|Personal Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

You know how much I love sequin shorts, but fall calls for something a little warmer… yet just as sparkly.  Lucky, lucky me (and you) they have these things called sequin leggings.  While leggings are still not pants and these particular leggings aren’t for everyday wear, these babies are pretty fantastic and sure to turn a few (hundred) heads.  I like this look as an alternative to the “woman wearing a tux” thing.  It’s also a great option for a slightly less dressy than cocktail attire, but definitely more fancy than denim.  With all the upcoming holiday parties and festivities, who doesn’t need another alternative to the LBD?

Little details like a beautiful bangle and bow tie headband complete this party approved look.   Pile hair atop your head in a top notch top knot and slick on some shiny red lipstick.  You’ll be ready to party in no time flat.  Want to recreate this look for your next social gathering?

1. American Apparel Sleeveless Crepe de Chine Button Up, $45, 2. Plan B Sequin Leggings, $93, 3. Forever21 Glossy Bow Headband, $3.80, 4. Kenneth Jay Lane Giraffe Cover Watch, $82.99, 5. Stuart Weitzman Great Neck Suede Bootie, $425

Get your shine on.
