If you follow me on Twitter (so sad that this is even a CIRCUMSTANTIAL scenario - if you're reading this, that means you have an Internet connection, and if you have an Internet connection, that means you should have a Twitter, and if you have a Twitter THAT MEANS YOU SHOULD FOLLOW ME??) you ALREADY know that I'm a Mary Kate and Ashley enthusiast. I believe in everything MK and Ash represent: creating an empire out of the novelty that is your youth and selling out to the Big Boys. In my humble opinion, HOLIDAY IN THE SUN is the magnum opus of the Olsen twins' film career. We're talking about a movie that stars two babes in tinted, wire-rimmed glasses hanging out at the ATLANTIS RESORT™ for 87 minutes. Better yet, Weezer's on the soundtrack and Megan Fox plays a character named "Brianna Wallace," first class brunette bitch with a 'tude so fierce it even knocks me off my impossibly high horse. "Messages please?" she spits, with her signature sexy sass. I know she and the twins are pitted against one another as they duel it out for irresistibly surf chic JORDAN (Brianna knows what she wants and it's him,) but I'm the kind of film connoisseur who roots for every character, as long as they have an awesome sense of style. And I'll be the first to tell ya... protagonists and antagonists alike, the fashion in this tropical work of avant cinema is IMPECCABLE. So superb that I designed an outfit inspired by the VHS cover.

Sooooo... The Baroque Jacket. The pattern is very 2012, but opulent gold motifs are still in service so definitely worth the debut. ~ Thanks SHOP AKIRA for keeping my look "a look."
The BITNB top has been waiting for a cameo since I was 19 or something... oh the distant glow of youth. Has a similar aura to the yellow > orange > brown gradient.

Remember those tea parties we had as kids where we wore satin gloves and flouncy dresses and costume pearls? I do, and I feel like I'm getting dangerously close to picture-perfect-4-year-old territory. But not entirely there, because, HELLO, I'm totally sexy and 4 year olds are never sexy! Right? Oh, yeah. I forgot about Toddlers in Tiaras. So much competition in this world... :-( Anyway, this look is yet another testament to my black and white streak, except a little less Parisian-wannabe and a lot more "American Girl." Dolls rule.

I got this faux fur bolero from Yes Style initially having NO clue how to wear it. It's definitely a party piece, but I knew that it had more potential than the photo on the site suggested. Even the outfit I'm wearing here is obvious -- a formal hat, gown, and gloves are staples for a tea party. But the bolero goes beyond... it looked best when I wore it to my BFF's concert at a gig called Amplyfi a couple months ago. Legit Baby Spice, lemme tell ya. I paired it with a sequin blue top, metallic silver skirt, union jack socks, red Mary Jane heels, and a super high ponytail. Pictorial evidence? At your service, my friends.

Some might say the outfit was a costume, but I honestly felt most like myself. Playing up other people's personas IS my persona.
