I recently dug up this nail polish and had to spend what felt like half a bottle of nail polish thinner to revive it, but I just couldn’t let it die. It used to be a favorite of mine, but like all chunkier glitters, it’s quite a pain to remove so I didn’t reach for…
Simple: Black and White Cowl Neck Sweater, Grey Jeans and Black Over-the-Knee Boots
I decided to go with a simpler look this time around. Black and white and grey provide a good neutral base for an easy look and always work well together. You can’t argue with the classics. To make things a bit more interesting, I added a black lace trim tank top with the lace layer…
Rock and Velvet: Burgundy Velvet Choker Dress, Black Leather Vest, Belt and Stud Boots
This is what went with the roses and lace manicure (here) I posted earlier when I went for a Marilyn Manson concert. I started off with the burgundy velvet choker dress and built up appropriate accessories until I had a look that I was happy with. I always enjoy wearing looks like this. All the black…
Valentine’s Day Weekend: White Dress with Red Roses and Black Boots
This is what I planned to wear on Valentine’s Day, but unfortunately my date ended up with me in bed for the whole day (and not in a good way) due to being sick. I pulled myself out of bed regardless and celebrated on the weekend in the look you see here. This white dress…
Leopard: Leopard Leggings and Scarf, Grey Sweater and Tall Black Boots
Leopard is a print that some think is gaudy or difficult to style, but I disagree. It’s very uniform and the colors are all neutral. This is why it actually works well with many colors but is especially easy to style with dark neutrals like grey and black, which is what I did here. I…
Roses and Lace: Red Roses and Black Lace Nails
This was the manicure I decided to go with when we went for a Marilyn Manson concert (it works for Valentine’s Day too I think and it looks like that’s what I’m going to end up with on the day). I planned to wear red, black or burgundy (I’ll post what I wore a bit…
Owls: Owl Leggings, Burgundy Oversized Sweater and Patent Leather Combat Boots
I got this burgundy sweater last winter and originally thought that it wasn’t going to be that versatile. I liked the color, but I hadn’t yet realized how easy burgundy is to style. It works so well in so many surprising pairings. This sweater opened the door to my obsession with the color and I…
Fruit and Rubies: Lychee Decals and Sparkly Red V-Shaped French Tip Nails
Fruit is a staple in my diet and it seems, my nails. This is another freehanded French design, though this one is v-shaped. I wanted a bright fun look and a sparkly dark red nail polish was perfect for my mood. The lychee fruit decals have a predominantly red color scheme and so fit the…
Sparkle and Patent Leather: Sparkly Top, Ripped Jeans and Patent Leather Combat Boots
We had guests over and I decided to dress up just a little with a sparkly top (although it seems that the sparkle didn’t show up as well in the photos). Due to the sparkle, it didn’t need any jewelry and I offset the dressiness by black jeans ripped at the knees. I finished everything…
Laces and Knits: Laced-Up Burgundy Knit, Statement Necklace and Black Tall Boots
This burgundy knit is a subtle take on the laces trend. I love the two parallel black laced-up lines running down each side of the sweater. The black is very subtle against the burgundy but it still gives the sweater that extra spark. It was pretty subtle though so I added a black statement necklace…
