So I know that I've been away but now I'm back wit the jump off. Things have been hectic dealing with work and family and the holidays had me stressed. But I bring to you my first post of 2016 "Holidays Past" I'm talking about reliving the holidays with me through clothes, makeup and creativity.
Lets Start with...... Halloween!
This costume was one for the record books. The amount of sweat, tears, blood and lack of sleep that was used to make this Lyda Deetz poncho and Cape combo was out of this world.
This entire thing was made 90% by hand. I've been challenged but this was something totally different. I wanted to be the belle of the Tim Burton rave by dressing up as one of my favorite Beetle juice animated moments. If your to young then your gonna have to Google. Anyways in this episode Lyda is taken to the underworld to meet prince Naveen she's all dressed up and to comical relief she even has the bride of Frankenstein hair. The poncho gown cape combo just stuck with me and it just had to get done. So I sewed my life way with the help of my friend Melissa and her mom I got it done. Not to mention endless nights gluing rhinestones on everything. I've never been so proud of myself and this upcoming comic con is gonna be unforgettable.
But not to forget a costume change for the Deetz costume no matter how beautiful it is but was heavy and I was totally petrified of it getting damaged throughout a night of drinking. So I decided to be princess jasmine... well my take on it for the time I was given. The jacket is from forever 21 and the top from k&g superstore, the scarf was a thrift shop find, my jeans are also from forever 21 and my Disney sneaks are from vans. The crown came from the Disney Store for 50% off. I was hyped. The hair took forever to get just right but I was so happy with the outcome not to mention how comfy I was.
A honorable mention to Velma for she was a cute quick costume.
Now to Thanksgiving for I was thankful for a lot this year family, true friends a loving boyfriend and a true spark of enthusiasm for the holidays to basically really give a fuck and actually wrap my presents in a grown up matter.
I was also thankful of this outfit and amazing hair day.
The coat is from forever 21 2015 winter collection.
The black classic leotard is from forever 21.
The leather skirt is from forever 21 2005 collection and was finally worn for the first time.
After all the food drinks and togetherness it was the days of all days my birthday! 29 and feeling fine.
Can't do that up do ever again idk why...
And I got to get into my dream car the unforgettable, classic, amazing, blast from the past the Delorean.
I changed my clothes and hair the next day for my birthday night out.
In between the next holiday there was some clothing greatness happening.
This coat was a amazing thrift shop find. The fact that it's tailored to my body shape and has this bold red color not to mention the outline is in this simple ruffle all around just warms my heart. I've never found anything that makes me feel so giddy like this coat. The sweatshirt is a dress it has pockets and it's thick as hell, it came from H&M's Ron Bass collection. The running sneakers are Nike. And the hat from a boutique on the upper West side on Broadway.
Is that what I think that it is?
Yes! It's the start of the Christmas season.
The windows are decorated with glamour and jewels.
In between this start of the holiday season. I discovered faux spectrum rings
