FREAKY FRIDAY

I will always and forever love Janet Jackson. I will always and forever love this song.  So for my Freaky Friday post, I chose Janet Jackson’s – Anytime Anyplace, one of my all time favorite songs by Miss Janet, Miss Jackson if you’re nasty. I think there’s something very sensual about the instrumentals alone that just do something to me. Could be the combination of the words and the slow melodic tempo with a twist of…..

KANYE WEST @ PFW ROUND DEUX

Well, he’s back at Paris Fashion Week. Not that I mind, I am infatuated with West as a music artist, performer and producer.  With his most recent fashion endeavor the resistance of a deeper infatuation seems like I would be cheating myself if I didn’t appreciate this man’s work.

I just wanted to put this out there in the universe, Kanye West’s 20 look collection was nothing short of spectacular. He’s a fashionable, innovative and creative. I wonder if he’s the one sketching or verbally consulting with one who can. I have no doubt in my mind that these are all 100% his ideas. He used leather, velvet, and astrakhan. A toned down more conscious approach than his freshman debut last season. I see heavy influences from Balmain and Helmut Lang, which since there’s no fashion copyright laws…….. I commend him for taking a risk in a world much harder to be successful in than music. How that talent might translate into an asset for his fashion remains up in the air. However, a fan will always remain in me.

MONDAY STYLING

I have yet to lay a look that I didn’t like, I have an adoration for them all but there’s really something about this one that I mainly love. Guess which piece(s) it would be? Yep, it’s the Jeremy Scott leggings.  The whole look is really quite effortless and I can see myself and many others throwing this on to meet friends for a HH date or even a date.

I decided not to over accessorize and keep it simple to a few bracelets and a broach. Because the ‘busy’ print of the leggings I think keeping everything else to a simplistic minimum was key. Now, let’s talk about the goods:

DETAILS: T by Alexander Wang Shirt Dress (which covers le front/bottom, NEVER wear leggings with them showing.  Fashion faux pas.),  TOPMAN Friendship Bracelets,  Mulberry Black Suede Bracelet, Giuseppe Zanotti heels, Prada Saffiano Large Luxe Shopper, Rebecca Minkoff Becky Jacket, Yazbukey Lady Gaga Broach, Jeremy Scott leggings.

Overall I adore this, the comfortable level is through the roof with the shirt dress and leggings, it’s like wearing well fitted designer pajamas out and you still look chic.

Next week I will do a look without any top designer labels.

MONDAY STYLING

 

Very fashion forward, sexy and effortless. All the words to describe this look. I am so in love with this look I’ve conjured up. This would probably be more of an evening look. Though, to wear this during the day I would wear a nude small fishnet stocking, or black stockings. With those variations it could be a day look, I prefer this to be evening.

Hair should be in a top knot, ideal makeup would look like this below:

DETAILS: 1.5 Carat diamond studs, ALL SAINTS necklace, SHIMLA pearl and white crystal bracelet, ALEXANDER MCQUEEN skull bracelet, CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN Astroid heel, FURLA rubber satchel, BURBERRY PRORSUM leather trench and RICK OWENS LILIES jersey long sleeve drape dress.

HELP!

I quit rockin Nikes oh so long ago. Like seriously a long time ago. However, I like these and I’ve scoured the internet and came up empty fucking handed.  I liked these when they released about a billion years ago but wasn’t feeling them THAT much to purchase. As you can guess, I need these in my life NOW!

If you know of anyone who just so happens to be sitting on deadstock. I wear a men’s 6, women’s 8.
