Modern Times

This 1920's utopian vogue spread featuring Natalia Vodianova and Michael Fassbender is one of  most the phemonenal spreads i've seen in a very long time. As every  Dries Van Noten and Balenciaga outfit came to life, so did the early modernism architecture. As an architectural enthusiast, the structure seemed very clean cut yet dirty, symmetrical yet assymtrical, warm in color yet cold and hollow. Ohhh how this tingles my premature arthritis bones. As for the ensemble of fashion garments I wouldn't add anything more or less. It is a pure balance of beauty and edge. Also note Natalia's perm that is on the tip of being gawdy 80's.  C'est magnificent!!

A balenciaga look from head to toe that is genius. The double hat, the animal sacrificial gloves, oversized printed onsy, smirf blue tights and boot are without question brilliant. This is definitely something a kid would pick out for their first day of school not knowing it's high fashion.

She's all ready to sacrifice a cow. Note the face, givenchy boots and proenza plasticy looking shirt.

Empowering image with so much to tell. To me it's a comic relief of gender role issues for woman within the 20's where they demanded equal rights (the tree being equality) though many failed to obtain (Michael residing one step above her). Or I could be wrong. Maybe he felt like doing some intense calf lungs.

I hope you enjoyed as much as I did.

Hiking gear

Hey yall! My oh my was today hot or what? It was definitely the day to be doing outdoorsy type activities so hiking I went. Since I'm a cautious and responsible young individual, I formulated a list that contained my most dearest possessions and necessities for this adventure; my electric blue scallop cut shirt and reebox sneakers, not to forget my lucky cap and frizzy humid hair beneath it. With everything in place, I was ready to go on a hike that could last hours, days even! Though I ended up walking to the mailbox and back. It's a work in progress.

What I wore: Cap- Big it up; shirt- thrifted; skort- thrifted; Reebox shoes

Basic black

Here's some inspiring black outfits I found on http://www.21arrondissement.com/ and http://www.streetpeeper.com/. Black is a universal color that everybody loves. A color you can constantly wear and not get sick of. So with that I leave you with outfits that caught my attention or something I can envision myself in. Enjoy!

Skirt over pants

My most recent obsession has to be skirt over pants. Care for an explanation? No? Too bad. One: It looks pretty hardcore Two: It shows versatility and class. Look it up! Don't. I just made that up. Three: The skirt can be of any length though I seem to enjoy ones that flow down to the shins. And Four: You can easily get anyway with untamed forest leg hair while still maintaining the luxurious skirt silhouette. Who knew a skirt and hairy legs could mix? I sure didn't. 

With my leather on leather, twinkle toes and signature homeless lady wrap around the waist I felt prepared to face my fears if they were to pass my way. Why? Because I'd scare everyone and everything looking the way I did. Didi, we've done it again! Mission accomplished.      

 

I found these five inch suckers at Zara last fall and haven't had the perfect opportunity to showcase them until now. Whenever I think of why I never became a ballet dancer, I put these puppies on and wam bam thank you man it makes all the sense in the world. Though I have to admit, my flat feet can't resist these bad boys!

This one is definitely a keeper.

What I wore: jacket- black market; turtle neck tank- thrifted; black silk long sleeve shirt- thrifted; leather skirt-  H&M; leather pants- thrifted; shoes- zara
