It's Martha Stewart, Bitch.

Ask my girls at WTForks?! what my nick-name is and they'll say "AOL," why? Let's just say I have no patience for new technology unless it deals with video games lol. No doubt about it, I'm a hands-on, arts and crafts girl.

Last night was my first attempt at making a flower hair-piece for my girl Tee's wedding day! I'm not able to attend the actual ceremony in Hawaii next month (FML) but I still wanted to be a part of it somehow and this was the only way I could think of. Everything including the flower itself is hand made. I just used pearl spray, white netting, fabric rose petals, rhinestones, feathers, ribbon, and my trusty glue gun. I'm proud of myself, and I'm honored Tee will be wearing this on her special day.

Fashion Monday ('Cuz I forgot Friday lol) - All I Want for Christmas

... is that damn Hellz letterman jacket lol. Rach better hope I don't fit hers otherwise I'm slippin her a rufee and stealing it from her closet! Other than that though, I got everything else covered pretty much (thanks to go-go dancing I have like 3 garter belts heyyyy lol). It's honestly way too cold for me to be wearing this shit stompin around downtown but this may be my Fame Monster outfit. I'll be sneaking in a flask and dancing like my life depended on it so I'm sure I won't be cold :) Get another rendition of this look over at Ladylike!

Fashion Friday - Looking Good

Foxy Mama by Hot.Sizzle featuring Dorothy Perkins

Let's face is, Megan Fox would look good wearing a potato-sack and Birkenstocks. OK maybe not, but she's hot as hell and as soon as I saw this dress I thought of her. Very dark and vampy but still glamorous. The shoes are fucking sex. And helloooo the McQueen skull earrings to subtly match her clutch? Suicidal. And of course u gotta top it all off with a touch of red! Perfect for the red carpet.

Fashion Friday - Jet Settin

*Le Sigh* It's been a while since I've done one of these. Polyvore oh how I miss thee.

Jet-Settin by Hot.Sizzle featuring Alexander McQueen accessories

I know people usually want to be comfy when traveling but when the flight's only 1 hour long all u really have to do is pack some flip-flops IF need be and ur good. Le-sigh, if I were a rich girl la la la la la la la. This is the outfit I'd be wearing to L.A. next month. However, I'd unbutton the vest, might get too cluttered otherwise. And of course those are Hellz leggings, duh!

MAV Show Recap

Like I said in my previous post, I would follow up on Saturday's festivities with a more in-depth blog so here it is!

Lemme get a few things out there first, I am no self-proclaimed fashionista. I've never said I was the steeziest. And as much of a LookBook fan I am, taking pics of myself just to show off my outfit ain't really my thing. Nobody cares and I'm usually rockin jeans, kicks, and a hoody 5 days outta the week anyway lol. AKA I suck at it so I'll leave that to other people and just admire their creations lol. However, I will say this: I ADORE ALL THINGS FASHION. And that means so much more than just, "I love to go shopping." So when Evan asked me to style his shirts for the show just a few weeks ago, I was more than estatic to oblige.

A lot of people think that a t-shirt is just a t-shirt and I agree to a certain extent. There's only so much u can do with it, especially if u can't even altar it by cutting it up or bedazzlin that bitch BUT even just something as simple as tucking or untucking it in can make a big difference. Given the proper adjustments and accesories u can make a "simple" t-shirt look more appealing and that's what I tried to do given what I had to work with. There wasn't really a method to my madness, and per the designers instructions I opted to keep things "clean and simple." I wasn't trying to turn tees into high-fashion, all I wanted to do was show that you can wear a t-shirt with more than just blue jeans and sneakers.

Unfortunately, I only have 1 pic of the actual fashion show but here's a few of the Adapt team with some of the models (heyyy) and makeup artist. All in all it was a good night. All the models were a pleasure to work with! I expected a bigger turnout but the show ran smoothly, I was nice and tipsy, the models looked great, and Goapele was amazing. Me? I'm just glad I was there. Even if people don't think I did a good job, that wasn't the point of this post. The point is I HAD FUN and felt at home. As exciting as it is to be in front of the camera, behind the scenes is where I belong.

Fashion Friday - Just Kickin It

*Le Sigh* I wish.

Spring Fling

Because it's been a melancholy Friday, this is all I have for u :(

Have a good weekend everyone!

Color Me Bad

I haven't done one of these in so long! Anyway, this outfit totally reminds me of a Picasso painting. I would wear this for a dinner date that ends up at the club. I chose shoes and accessories that would bring out the bits of color in the dress. My favorite piece from this ensemble has got to be that cute little funky ring!

Polyvore Overload

Good God I wish I actually owned all these outfits.

2 Cool 4 School

2 Cool 4 School by Hot.Sizzle featuring Miss Selfridge

Because I'm ma'arte sometimes I would totally wear this fit to school ... if I hadn't graduated like 3 years ago lol. It's funky, fresh, but still comfortable enough to walk all around campus.

Under the Boardwalk

Under the Boardwalk by Hot.Sizzle featuring Betsey Johnson accessories

The perfect outfit for a day on the boardwalk in sunny Santa Cruz. The dress provides an efficient yet stylish coverup when you're not frolicking in the water in your sexy leopard print monokini. I chose comfortable gladiators for the walk up and down the strip and light makeup to provide a natural yet beautiful look under the sun. And omg how cute is that Betsey Johnson monkey ring?!

Night at the Museum

Since it's "Fashion Friday," why not lol. Oh, and I know there's sunglasses there and the pretend function is at night ... but I'm gonna pretend I'm some big superstar and can get away with it LOL.

Girl's Night Out by Hot.Sizzle featuring CHANEL sunglasses

I would wear this on a Thursday night out with the girls. Thursday because it's pretty much the new Friday, AND because the Academy of Sciences in the city serves drinks and has a DJ after 6pm. It's Judy Jetson meets grandma and perfect for the sushi bar for some dragon rolls and sake bombs after the museum!

(I just wish those earrings didn't dangle. I'd probably just break it up and use only the top tier.)

City Chic

City Chic by Hot.Sizzle featuring Miss Selfridge

OK to be real honest with u, I had me, myself, and I in mind for this outfit lol. Originally, I saw the dress and thought of my friend Rach 'cuz it reminds me of a dress she already owns, but I'm not sure if she'd rock the entire outfit - I on the other hand would. If anything, I'd wear more simple earrings or keep the earrings and take out the necklace. I love adding femenine touches to rugged items, i.e. the pearls and flowers combined with the leather jacket. This outfits perfect for shopping in the city or going to class. Weather played a big part in putting this together b/c there it's rarely warm enough to ever wear a dress in SF but funky leggings, and a layered jacket allow you to wear one without having to freeze.

Last one ... for now

LOL. I swear Polyvore.com has taken over my life. Once I get bored off the novelty of this site I'll only post on Fridays (Fashion Fridays as my Vegas Mary likes to call it.) Anyway, I realized that my other two looks are more edgey and for night time so I decided to put together something on the other side of the spectrum.

Miami Heat by Hot.Sizzle featuring Burberry accessories

I saw these beautiful shoes and worked the outfit from there. I can see Jennifer Lopez (pre-Marc Anthony) wearing this to a power lunch on Ocean Dr. in South Beach, FL. Light and airy for the humid weather, with some subtle bling-blang-blao.

BTW, I love how the website mixes designer wear with everyday items we can afford. From Target, to Dolce, to Forever 21, to Marc Jacobs. They got it all!

Like a Virgin

Gail already called it. I'd be rushing home from work tonight JUST to create another make-believe outfit for my make-believe client. When I originally saw this dress it reminded me of a modern day, couture Madonna from her "Like a Virgin" video. If her and Betsey Johnson had an illegitimate love child THIS is what she'd be wearing to prom this year. Keeping it sassy while still having a romantic flair. Obviously Madonna and Betsey Johnson don't have a love child together (Although I would NOT be surprised) so who do u think could rock this get up?

Like a Virgin by Hot.Sizzle featuring Hello Kitty accessories

P.S. I'm having the hardest time spacing everything, as the canvas on the actual website has a different appearance once I embed it into the blog, hence that empty white space on the bottom right. Seeing as I'll be playing out this website soon I should fix this problem just as soon :)

Make 'em say "Oh"

Like only Ciara can.

I've seen wardrobe swatches like this all around the way-way but never quite figured out how they did it 'cuz I refused to believe that people took the time out to photoshop it. Then, today I finally stumbled across what is apparently my newest addiction - Polyvore.com. Whoever created this website is a genius, GENUIS I SAY! They give aspiring, lazy wardrobe stylist like me a chance to shine or at least pretend they're not sitting at a desk all day m-f 9-5. In case yall don't know - fashion is my first love. Writing's just my mistress.

Make 'em Say "OH" by Hot.Sizzle featuring CHANEL clutches

I would wear this exact outfit EXCEPT for the shoes. Only because I'd look like a midget prostitute from the future in them. Plus, I'm not famous. Ciara, on the other hand could totally get away with it. The inspiration for this outfit was Ciara on a casual date night to dinner and a movie. It's laid back, with a touch of sophistication and gold. Initially, I used all silver jewelry but it looked too predictable and safe - 2 things I'm sure Ciara isn't. Simple earrings to offset the layered necklace and gi-normous broach, and a mint green-ish bra to peekaboo through the grey tank because everyone loves a lil' surprise and splash of color. Our girl seems to love trendy denim and sky-high heels so I'm sure she'd rock this look. Ci-Ci if ur reading - holler at yo' girl!
