Alteast Try Not To Use Those Dreadful Words: Personal Fashion












Images by NURBS

Dress: Vintage; Shoes: Ninewest [like 6 yrs old]

I know I ask for it when I wear a Prabal Gurung-ish outfit like this one. I can totally hear David of the Nyanzi Report screaming “Color Blocking, Color blocking!!” in my ear all the way from London. So I am just going to put on my headphones and pretend like I don’t care. Ah-ha.

A few weeks ago I went on a hike to Mt. Beacon [upsate NY] with a bunch of friends. After the hike was over [and I was still alive], my friend Jess and I found a few cool stores in the area. Ofcourse vintage stores in small towns are so much more interesting and CHEAPER than in the city where even vintage/ thrifted stuff costs as much or more than retail. Found this fantastic silk dress with 80's padded shoulders and pockets and another jacket for under $30 total and I think it’s a total steal!!

Hope everyone had a happy weekend!! I sure did. More pics of the happy weekend to follow during the week.

PS: This shoot is ironic cause I really do not remember the last time I went into a grocery store to actually shop for groceries. It was kinda a weird feeling to go into one for a shoot today and pretend like I understand what veggies to buy...lol..

  14. I love it baby! The color contrasts are crazy and ohhhhhh the gorgeous shoes! :) I wonder though how it would look, if you'd managed to wear a similar shade of pink as lipstick! hmmmm...?

    Style princess went shopping, the wrong kind though :P

  17. I am loving your new hair-cut! So fresh. I so wanted to cut my hair real short beginning of this year, but I changed my mind (mother power) and decided to grow them really long before I cut them. Your hair-cut is making me lean the other way and make my mother angry. ;-)

  19. grocery stores itself are so busy with so many colors, but somehow you have managed with your dress to out run the background. Love it. I am dying to do something fun with this new hair, I hope this time you keep it normal, by that you know what I mean:)

  20. If you ever decide on selling this dress, please consider me early bird. Serious. Even those shoes. Seriously.
