Blah blah blah about the the whole military thing. I try not to let my boyfriend become my muse but it's just chemistry. I'm drawn to the things he likes (not videogames...yet) and the the things he does.
Anyways, Alpha Industries has produced over 40 million outerwear pieces for the US Military and now they sell military-INSPIRED garments. Their shit is cool. AND affordable! The men's stuff is more classic and the women's is more contemporary.
Ladies MacGyver. Orig: $98 NOW: $38
Fortress Wool. Orig: $160 NOW: $75
Ladies Motor Bomber. Orig: $445 NOW: $180 sjdkhfadkfhg I have no money!!!

I know I disappeared for a while. It seems that I make more time to blog and Facebook when I'm looking to get away from homework. Since I've graduated I've been looking for jobs.
My last couple posts have been AAAALLL writing and no pretty pictures. Not that I'm an established fashion/style blogger (eew) but I do have feelings and I do complain a lot.
So now, I'll be catching up on pictures. These are from Once Wed and feature a couple that had a barn wedding in Norcal on a gloomy rainy day.
I love that all the bridesmaids are wearing boots. That's awesome.

I've looked and admired these pictures over and over so many times that I've nearly gotten sick of them. I can't believe I forgot to post them here to show off. :P
I had finals week right before the night of the party so I was left to send out an electronic invite :/ At least I saved trees. I arranged everything on Photoshop CS4 in about, 15 minutes. The written part was conjured up by my wonderful friendboy.
I had some of the boys stand outside because you were required to know a password to get in. I thought it was just a neat little detail but some of my guests DID forget the password and thought that they could just waltz in...SIKE!
I WISH I had more money to make more food. I was sooo worried we were going to run out.
The party started at 9pm and I THOUGHT everyone would have already eaten dinner. I was wrong. Everyone was scarfing down everything.
I did the hair and makeup for Uno and she looked like a little Clara Bow.
Clara Bow, for reference.

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
Right before I got in the party mood on NYE, I was invited to style/assist a photo shoot. The photographer, Minh Thi, an old friend from elementary school, was looking for something sensual, intimate, delicate. This was my first time getting to style a shoot and I wanted to make sure I was OVER-prepared as opposed to under. I brought 15 pairs of shoes, a whole suitcase of clothes, boxes of lingerie, my entire makeup kit, curling irons, the works. One pair of shoes was used, and maybe 2-3 outfits per girl.
I had so much fun and I can't wait to work on more shoots! The atmosphere was so relaxed, especially because it was a collaboration. We also shot at the Motel 6 in Newark. Janice modeled; she is one of my close friends from 3rd grade and also a guard girl. The other model Ashley is another girl I did guard with. I learned that if the model is uncomfortable with herself it makes everyone else working uncomfortable. Fortunately Janice and Ashley were very fun to work with.
Here's a handful of photos, more to come!

This guy has the greatest job everrr! He's a buyer for Anthropologie. He travels aaaall around the world buying furniture, fabrics, trinkets, and other beautiful handcrafted junk and now he's got his own gig on the Sundance Channel WHICHIDON'THAVE.
Click and zoom in to check out this awesome wedding invitation.
I might paint this for the 1920's party. I might also change up the font. I might not because I kinda like it the way it is.
Halloween at the Blanco House
I'm liking the visible leather belts and vests-no-jackets.
For the color scheme. Not the taxidermy.
I want to reproduce this. It's eye trippy. I think I have one more canvas around my house somewhere...
Soft, fluid fabrics in gentle colors paired with tranny fierce heels <3 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGsDiETekpGTrxgCYSt-rdo94SJqtKh7uAwSzZmDR0HnyhzJFlXmbzqclB08fb1lnTT7ji_U0wDi1j_9NuAoJn-Ur3U7733ETM4WAXw4GM1BKQ_n_tO3avPnjH8x-twpMDq3pf1Mn97vo/s1600-h/8062f1b6f776de66090844c9b894f4beffec1b8d_m.jpg">
