the end is finally here, after what seemed like a very long 5 weeks of an interesting contest. I'm happy it's done [can you see the smile?], honestly the best part of it all [aside from the prada booties]was all of the positive support... big kissx

speaking of positive support check out what the designer of ADAM had to say about my look below...


leather jacket zara. t-shirt hanes. leggings plan b. boots dr. marten.

I heart ADAM

i was pleased to hear designer Adam Lippes'  thoughts on

everyone's look since he was refreshingly positive and not

bitter. like Adam, i can appreciate everyone's individuality

and approach to style because fashion would be boring

without it [simply put].

besides that i heart his line ADAM, especially his recent resort

and spring collections for 2010, it's perfectly casual and cool.

challenge #4 - the plaid ruffle blouse. honestly this top had me the least bit excited. the plaid wasn't the problem, the print is pretty classic, but the ruffles combined with plaid is what got me. 


i was stumped until i had a leather epiphany. it seems whatever you pair with leather automatically looks fresher and chicer. this time it worked, thank goodness. i wasn't so mad about the plaid after all. it was as if chloe sevigny's real wardrobe was mixed in on the set of big love. love her style.


shirt priorities. skirt vintage. shoes tommy hilfiger. bag chanel. ring lia sophia. studded bracelet barbara bui. friendship bracelet links of london.

natalie chanin on the plaid look

this is the first I've heard about Natalie Chanan, designer of
alabama chanin. [who gives her points on the plaid look above
in this video]. Her pieces pay close attention to detail, which
i can appreciate.

Challenge #3- the body-con skirt. what to wear with it - white t-shirt? doc martens? button up denim shirt [channeling alexander wang spring'09 runway collection]? I had no clue what to do with it. anything too trashy would look pretty woman, and i love the movie but not exactly the look I was going for. 


I pulled out this sequin blouse that I purchased from the goodwill for $7.99 [silk, sequin & beaded blouse might I add for that price] just to show my friend. she forces me to try it on for her and the look was accidentally perfect. the colors, the shape so unexpectedly perfect.


blouse goodwill. skirt necessary objects. heels miu miu.

challenge #2: ash suede studded prada booties [insert scream here]

they're perfect! this type of accessory demands attention and is in fact "the statement piece,"  one you dress around, instead of dressing up. Knee-high stockings- nope, bobby socks- adorable, but no. These babies demand no distraction, an all eyes on me moment- bare legs, a mini and neutral tones that allow them to do what they do best, shine.

vote for this look now [& every day this week]!
