STUDS TO BOOT

Fantaaaaabulous news for anyone who LOVES A DEAL: my "studded rose" tees (designed by local artist Alex Krasky and detailed by moi) are now selling for $17 on my eBay shop! Major price reduction for ya... and it's permanent! If you missed the original announcement, I'll share the news again to keep you in the loop: my buddy Alex, an esteemed artist who emigrated from Russia and now resides in Sin City, painted this charcoal graphic and printed it on tees. For extra edge, I studded the collars and offer the shirt in three styles - the Classic, a regular tee with studs, the Crop, a regular tee with a short, midriff-baring hem, and the Crop Tank, a tee with a short hem and cut-off sleeves. I'm wearing the latter style in this outfit, all the better to show off my velvet bodycon miniskirt from TOXIC CODEINE! Major shout outs to Jackie who hooked me up with this gorgeous, gothic winter staple. It accentuates my bum AND quads... I'm all about showin' off the goods I worked for. WINK. Check out her site for the best floral, galaxy, acid wash and plaid print apparel you've EVER seen. BONUS: 20% off 3 items or more on her shop with the code "HHLLWN" (valid till November 1st). And forget to shop my shirts, too! ♥ MY EBAY STORE ♥

Hellbounds - UNIF

BOO FREAKIN YAH, Y’ALL. I am officially the proud mama of two baby Hellbounds! And by ‘two Hellbounds’ I mean two pairs. And by ‘baby’ I really mean “freak of nature giantess shoes that make my arms buff when I lift them.” Nothin’ baby about these baddies. I extend infinity and one thanks to Sydney and the UNIF team for setting me up with another pair of the all-time best-ever platform boots! These are THE shoes of my winter season. So don’t get bored with this colossal heel because it will grow legendary with how many asses it kicks between now and next August. Ya heard.

HERSHEY GRUNGE

I jestingly threw out the title "Hershey Grunge" while editing these outfit photos after I noticed that my American Apparel tee featured two shades of chocolatey brown. Paired with the platform Skechers boots and torn Levis cutoffs, I had myself an aggressive ensemble coated in cocoa. What's a street urchin without a little sugar, anyway? Everyone's gotta sweet tooth, even the greasy-haired garage rockers of 1994 who inspired this low-maintenance look. Much love and many thanks to The Cobrashop, for keepin' the vibes authentically vintage with their tattoo chokers, and to American Apparel, for gifting me this cozy cotton t-shirt (perfect for flexing a muscle).

I will use the remainder of this space to remind all y'all who STILL seem to think that 'soft grunge' is an actual derivative of the anti-fashion, garage rock movement that you are miserably wrong. It is not. If it is fashion, it is not grunge. This outfit I wore here? Not technically grunge. Good attempt in the inspiration department, but not authentically... authentic. Creepers are punk, not grunge. Pastel hair is post-scene, not grunge. Flower crowns are bohemian, not grunge. Spiked chokers and black lipstick are goth, not grunge. Anything with a "☯follow here for more soft grunge☯" promo caption on Tumblr is adolescent, desperate, and annoying. NOT GRUNGE. Sorry bout it!

BON VOYAGE

Since I live in Vegas, I'm not much of a world traveler. I can ride a bus down The Strip and essentially sight-see the wonders of Paris, Italy, Rome, New York City, Hollywood, Camelot, and Egypt. Why spend thousands of dollars on airfare when I can stand on my balcony, champagne flute in hand, admiring a cosmopolitan vision in one panoramic gander? I know there's a million and one arguments you could make in favor of actually immersing myself in the real cultures of the world, but for now... there's a Lanvin charm necklace to keep my wanderlust satiated. ^-^

FROM TOP TO BOTTOM:

Hat - Frank Olive

Sunglasses - Cobrashop

Charm necklace - Lanvin

Scarf - Chanel

Coat - Chanel (Cruise 2012 Collection)

Heels - Vera Wang

This look might represent a peak in my sartorial classicism. Rarely do I don Chanel on Chanel without feeling a bit cheesy. But a loose trench and scarf to match offered just the right amount of practicality to a sophisticate luxe ensemble on a Fall day. My mom, sister, and I found the coat (multiple, actually) at the Bellagio Chanel store this summer. We all tried it on, and even took photos in pairs of us holding pillows from the lounge area as clutch purses. Twas a real hoot for the sales associates. Happy to finally enjoy some coat-appropriate weather in the desert, as this piece was BEGGING for debut. It speaks to me sometimes from the hanger on which it exclusively rests, like a prized art collectible - which essentially it is. Designer pieces will last a lifetime. As for my other elements, I tied the attached veil that usually sweeps the floor around the center of my hat a couple times to save me from an out-of-place goth accessory. No need for a random, thematic flourish; subtle gold details and circle sunnies will do the trick time and time again.

CHOCO HIPPIE

My idea of a lazy day outfit is anything that requires little to no decision making. A printed maxi dress is perfect because it’s easy, obvious, and usually requires minimal accessorizing. For a simple shopping date, I paired this floor sweeping brown number from Vivid Blueprint with my trusty new Lucca Couture vest. And, yes, opted for my knee-high Pink and Pepper boots since I couldn’t resist how rich the brown looked with the rest of my neutral color palette. It’s a youthful, boho-inspired look that incorporates most of my 70s staples: a floppy hat, tortoiseshell sunnies, and peach lipstick. Love me a vintage homage!

Vest – Lucca Couture
Dress – Vivid Blueprint

Vivid Blueprint isn’t ALL about keeping things simple – the online boutique stocks some crazy prints and styles, too! Like Wednesday's patriotic bodycon mini. Good stuff all around... check out the site here!

MADEMOISELLE AMERICA

Whaaaat, a red beret in a totally American en-sem-blé???? Oui! Oui! A red beret is more flirtatious and (ugh, chastise me later for this terribly heteronormative descriptor) feminine than a red beanie, which was my second choice. I'm glad I went with my instincts. You might think my felt hat stereotypically French and subsequently out of place next to those "patriotic" stars and stripes - but that's where you're WRONG WRONG WRONG. Ever thought to google image "French flag"? Or maybe you're a geography genius and you already have flags of the world memorized (get a new past time, buddy!) If the latter is the case, you already know where I'm going with this. The French national colors are ALSO red, white, and blue so, HA, my red beret is TRÉS appropriate. Pinkies in the air, people!

Beret - YES STYLE

Hidden Wedge sneakers - Jeffrey Campbell c/o Solestruck

"WHERE'D YA GET THAT SKIRT, GURL," passersby inquire as my butt (beautifully accentuated by the star-print panels on either side of this sassy bodycon) swings to-and-fro about town. You might find it TMI, but information is what ya signed up for when you typed my blog URL into your browser so I'll PROUDLY let it be known that my derrière grew a full THREE INCHES since the last time I measured it. Naturally, discovering my that my bum's circumference has noticeably grown was a rewarding moment, especially for a girl whose dream it is to master the twerk. So, in the most awkward way possible, I extend my sincerest THANK YOU'S to Vivid Blueprint for hooking me up with such a beauty for my booty. Hope you guys don't mind my unabashed butt bragging!!!!

My buddy Ty from Solestruck gifted me these hidden wedge Jeffrey Campbell Gios a few months ago and after an unnecessarily long time of me hiding them in my closet - except for that time I wore them to a Calvin Harris cast reunion video shoot - I am debuting them ~officially~ on FTBH. So take a long, drool-inducing gander. I know some people talk smack about the hidden wedge sneaker, but that's probably because they're already tall and don't need the height as badly as a pipsqueak like moi. I LOVE THESE SNEAKERS. NEVER TALK POOP ABOUT SNEAKERS IN MY PRESENCE. SNEAKER LOVER UNTIL I DIE. YA. Thank you Solestruck for always keeping me and my size 6 feet in mind!!!!

Alright! Done ranting! Finally I can CLOSE DA LAPTOP and dive into this steaming plate of vegan chicken nuggets taunting me with their wafting breaded aroma in front of my face. Say yr last words, nugs. P.S. I'm still French. BON APETITE, SELF.

Everything (butts) is (have) infinite (potential to increase in size if you eat enough and do squats),

CITRUS TART

Got both visually and lyrically inspired by the song "Tutti Frutti" after ten too many sessions of sitting in my local 1950s themed McDonalds and absorbing their old-school music playlist. You know how that is. They play Little Richard so often that I've sort of developed a conditioned response to the first few piano chords of "Good Golly Miss Molly." You sure like to ball -- *torrential drool pours out of mouth in anticipation of french fries* oh but there are no fries because actually I'm at home listening to my iPod. Stupid BRAIN TRICKS. Anyway. Outfit. 1955. Kinda tarty. A little bit pin-up. And I'm into it. 50s straight down to the mary jane pumps, but with pastiche vintage accents, like my floral 70s crop top and mod 60s sunnies. Shout outs to O-MIGHTY, a brand that has recently garnered HUGE attention among Lookbookers for offering a deliriously good variety of modern, wholesale apparel and hand-picked vintage, for hooking me up with this fruit print circle skirt. It's my favorite cut and comes in fluorescent colors. Down to rock n' roll in it.

FROM TOP TO BOTTOM:

Sunglasses - Romwe

Floral crop top - Vintage (Buffalo Exchange)

Fruit skirt - O-MIGHTY (seriously, this is such an insanely cool site that I would actually be pissed off if I found out that you DIDN'T look at it after finishing ur read.)

Coral pumps - YES STYLE

Bag - Mulberry look-a-like

This might be the last spring/summery look you see from me in a while. It's getting a bit COLD here in Vegas and I'm finna wear my circle scarf and mittens pretty soon. Zero tolerance for the chills. Would much rather be insulated by the heat of a deep fry oil vat in Micky D's. Don't care how much classic rock n' roll I have to put up with... the Dollar Menu makes all suffering worth it. But that's irrelevant anyway because I actually like Little Richard. And I think his funky voice pairs well with a hamburger.
