Runway Prep

Preparation is always the hardest part. When it comes to runway shows and fashion events, I go all out in my outfits! This particular runway show and fundraiser is more exciting to me than most! Why? Because this is my first show to officially cover to share with all of my amazing fans! But right now, my problem is deciding what to wear?! I am debating hard between going with a sleek and clean 1920's style outfit or getting really gussied up in a 1950's style? It's such a hard decision, so I have accrued a bundle of inspiration images that are in one era or the other. Let me know which you like better! :)

P.s. Be sure to check out the Runway event's facebook page "Fashion Cited"

These things I dream about

We all have them, those items that we could never dream of affording, and finding, yet they still swarm our minds with ideas how pretty we could look in them. :P I have a problem, and this is just it. I always find myself stuck on silly outfit pieces -- that are outrageously priced-- and dream up all the exciting ways I could style it. Admit it, we all do it. But, what if...just maybe...somewhere out there, there was a look alike of that item or someone just happened to be selling theirs in the wrong place, for such a GOOD PRICE!! Well, I am notorious for searching out both of those scenarios. More often than not you can find a similar, identical, or exact piece you were looking for at a price that fits your budget. Here are some of my successful finds! (click through links!)

Lookbook x MaryAlice x Coach!

Hello All! I was recently approached by Lookbook.nu with an exciting offer -- to collaborate with Lookbook.nu and Coach to create a spring styled outfit featuring spring 2013 Coach heels.

When the Coach shoes arrived,  I couldn't have been more pleased. As soon as I opened up the electric orange shoe box with the gold embossed Coach emblem, I instantly fell in love with these great heels. If it is blue, I love it! ;)

These shoes are the perfect combination of blue, metallic, wood, and of course comfort! Long story short, I am very excited to share with you the outfit that I came up with to showcase these stunning Coach shoes! I do hope you enjoy and will lend me your HYPE. <3 These fabulous shoes can be found right here!

Dark Beauty

Unbeknownst to most people, I love dark beauty photography and find it quite intriguing and captivating. I love images and styles that evoke a feeling perfectly in tune with the picture, and I definitely find that often in dark beauty photography. Some day I hope to complete a styling of a dark beauty/glamor editorial. Since I am rather fascinated with this side of the fashion spectrum, I keep a constantly growing inspiration board of images in this genre. So, I thought why not share some of the pictures that I find most fascinating. :)

I put a spell on you..
