Another great challenge in this group this week, I love it! Angel_looking_sunshine always knows how to get our creativity going by presenting amazing images every week.
This week's picture is dark and haunting, but there's something in it that speaks hope for me - the lights coming in from the window to me represent better days ahead.
So for my look, I decided to take the colors and style of the picture but add a few bright elements in as a symbol of hope and better days ahead. I really love that Marc Jacobs skirt, so I'm glad I have the chance to use it now!
This is another great challenge, thank you Angel_looking_sunshine!
Oh, this challenge is so fun! As you all know Marc Jacobs is my favorite designer and I love everything about him because well, not only is his designs super fun and fabulous, we also share the same birthday. So he automatically becomes my idol, just like Hugh Hefner ;p
One thing I absolutely love about Marc Jacobs is his ability to not take fashion so seriously. He always has fun with it. It shows in his designs and his ad campaigns. This print campaign in particular is not just beautiful and perfect for fall, it also shows that a Marc Jacobs girl is not afraid to experiment with fashion; mixing prints with plaids and just go a little crazy and wild with it.
So, with that in mind - this is my interpretation of the ad. I have had that plaid dress in my favorites for ages, FINALLY I can use it! I decided to do what Marc is best at: mixing plaid with stripes and prints - and just have fun with fashion.
Oh I love love love this week's challenge. Thanks HarperLeo for picking such a great ad this week!
I had such a huge crush on this man when he first broke into the big time a few years ago. He's just so damn sexy, with that Irish accent and his bad boy rebellious attitude, I just want to throw him on the bed and do some very naughty things... ;p
But, he's changed now. He's now a dedicated father and a serious actor and I applaud him for that. You can't stay a "bad boy" forever, after a certain age, it's just pathetic. However, my look is for me and the old Colin Farrell to go out to a pub in Dublin and drink some Irish whiskey together. Because, let's face it - naughty fantasies need a bad boy in them. ;p
Ah, Colin Farrell. You sexy thing.
Thanks for another great challenge, Step It Up A Notch! Sorry I'm so late with this!
Congratulations Vrhino for winning last week's Garde-Robe challenge!
Okay, this week's challenge is a little hard, because I never really thought of what agenda I'm trying to convey with what I wear. But I suppose if I really think of it, I like looking sexy in the most comfortable way if that makes any sense at all. And yet, I live in a country where it's not always the best idea to show a lot of skin, because we'll draw unwanted attention from strangers and yes, they tend to harass women who look a little sexy. It's not physical harassment - they don't try to pinch our butt or whatever, but they would whistle or say the most inappropriate things, and it's just a little too much sometimes. So I have to be smart about it. I still want to look sexy and show off my "goods" (hey, when you got em, flaunt em, right? ;p) - but I try to do it in the subtlest way. If I wear a top or dress with plunging neckline, I'll wear a scarf to cover up but leave a little peak for my cleavage. If I wear shorts or mini skirts, then I'll wear a knee-high socks or colored tights, so I can still show off my legs without showing too much. And if I already wear a sexy top, I'll pair it with jeans or pants not shorts or mini skirt. The trick is in showing just enough before it crosses the line between just admiring glances and outright harassment.
So I don't know if that really answers the question, but that's my agenda in wearing what I normally wear. I want to look sexy. It's my thing. That's why I have so many pairs of skinny jeans that accentuate my ass (and I have to struggle putting them on during the fat days ;p) and low plunging tops. But I also hate being harassed, so I try to find the right balance. This outfit is one example, tho it's a little too hot to wear this right now. Maybe during the really rainy days ;p
Phew, that was tough! Thanks Vrhino for such a great challenge!
Oh, this is definitely my dream bathroom. I wish the bathroom in my new house is like this - it's so amazing! I love the graphic wall and the dark tiles with the pop of pink everywhere. Fabulous!
For my look, I decided to take the graphic wall and interpreted it with that dress, and accented it with the pink hat, clutch and cardigan. I love that art deco ring, it's so cool and it might come in handy in a fight ;p
I always enjoy creating challenges for this group, thanks Ashley303 for choosing great rooms for us every week!
