midnight in her eyes

Felder Felder's Fall 2011 collection has become my latest obsession. The fluffy cuffs, metallic bottoms, and the gothic-fetish feel coherent throughout the whole collection, it's just a midnight dream. I would take this entire collection and stuff it in my wardrobe specifically for nightly outings. The deeps blues and dark hues take me to a mysterious world where I want to get to know every model drenched in this stunning collection.

january blues

The winter winds are starting to make themselves comfortable in the West Coast. I'm beginning to rethink my love for this time of year. It's really not the same when there are no twinkling lights on every street I pass and classic, fuzzy jingles crooning to me through the radio. January has never been a favorite of mine. For being known as a month for new beginnings, a lot of things seem to be ending. It's the end of my first semester of senior year, which coincidentally falls right into place with the end of me caring about school. I'm just kidding... Just kidding. Yeah, riddle me that. Anyways, I keep finding myself purchasing clothing only suitable for the summer. My closet seems to be overflowing with short shorts and minis. There's something blissful about going bare leg in 60 below weather. Ha, joke. California doesn't do that. But what the hell, raise up the heat in this joint! I'm typing away, freezing my ass off in.. God, forgive me.. SWEATS. They're not mine though, so don't judge me. 

Here, take a gander at this lookbook by For Love & Lemons S/S 2012. It should warm you right up.

an update on my fate:

I apologize for the infrequent posts! I've been so busy with an abundance of projects along with my work and school. My job with the Prince Peter Collection is going great! I'm graduating this year so I've been trying to manage my plans post-high school. I see a trip to Europe and maybe following up on requests to attend a very prestigious fashion school from the admissions ladies themselves. On the flip side, my projects I've been working on consist of custom designing a shoe for the almighty, and my personal hero, Alexander McQueen. I've been reached out to by a friend to do this design using exotic skins for a selected handful of celebrity clients. I teamed up with my lovely artistic friend, Abraham Azamy of the Haus Of Leather blog, to execute the design of this limited edition, custom shoe. The McQueen team was so kind as they gushed about our design. It's going to be produced as a prototype for the likes of Kanye West, Chris Brown, Drake and more. To say the least, I'm thrilled. I've also been contacted by a few designers via my Lookbook to do shoots for some companies. I'll fill you in as the plans go along, and I'll post photos of my McQueen shoes and the original sketch once they are finalized and brought over to my house straight from the Alexander McQueen headquarters! I appreciate everyone who's supported me along my way. This is a huge milestone for me. If you read my earlier posts, my deep and passionate love for the late McQueen is evident. Endless tears have been falling from my face since I received the lovely call about the opportunity. I can't wait to see where this takes me and I hope those who read my blog can believe that whatever their wildest dreams are, they can happen. As long as you put everything you have towards it without letting anyone or anything stand in your way.

you're so hot, just one taste, help me i'm on display

I've been obsessed with Gaga since the very early years of her career and with every evolution she goes through, my love for her becomes deeper and dirtier. Her leather studded kisses on her pokerface are too irresistible. Major girl crush happening. Her insane style is making my head spin, crave black patent leather and studs, and making an appointment to get super long and pointy nails. So sick.

Godga.
