A Little Bit Of Everything

Hey loves. Sorry I haven't been posting! Some of you may know I'm a mommy. My baby just turned 3 months old on the 22nd so I've been a bit busy with him. At any rate I have a treat for you guys. I did a short interview with Michelle Koesnadi, the blogger from GlistersandBlisters.blogspot.com. Her blog is always great. She features everything from fashion phototography, styling, her own personal outfit posts and much more. So here it is!

                                                             Blogger Michelle Koesnadi
AM: How did you start blogging?

MK:In the beginning, my blog's purpose is to compile all things that inspire me. I'm already a regular subscriber of famous blogs like Sea of Shoes, Fashion Toast, and Style Scrapbook. and one day, I was on holiday and I had nothing to do, so I just created my own blog ! I didn't post outfit shots at first bt one time I posted some and several readers actually liked it. I kept experimenting my photography work more and more to keep my posts interesting to my readers.

AM:Do you ultimately want a career in fashion?

MK:Yes definitely ! I believe that in order to be successful, you gotta love what you're doing. Passion is the key.

AM:Doing what specifically?

MK:Anything really! Right now being a fashion photographer sounds good. But I don't mind working in a magazine or as part of a design company too.

AM:Who are your favorite designers right now?
MK:Christopher Bailey kicked ass in the Burberry SS 11 show ! My all time faves are Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel and alber elbaz for Lanvin.
AM:Are you interested in doing collaborative styling? If so, who with?
MK:Yes I am ! I'd love to work with Rachel Zoe and Magdalena Frackowiak as the model. She has such a unique face! And Rachel Zoe has an amazing taste in shoes and vintage pieces.

AM:Who are your favorite fashion bloggers?
MK:Jane frm sea of shoes.. Rumi of Fashion Toast.. Andy from Style Scrapbook.. Shini from Park&Cube .. There's alot more I like but I can't really mention all ! Every blogger is unique in their own way..

If you havent been to glistersandblisters.blogspot.com go there NOW! =)
 
On another note, here's a little personal style from moi. These are a few photos focusing on my accesories. Mainly a cracked, grey oval ring I copped from Charlotte Russe. I have gotten a lot of compliments on it. I happen to adore it. I paired it with a pave` rhinestone heart ring and a rhinestone key necklace one day and with a black and silver tribal ring and simple silver chain the other day.

Marc A Hint of Mark

What I neglected to mention were the coats. This is my very first video blog so I reviewed, saw my errors and will do better next time. Promise!

Here are some photos from the collection. Can't wait to watch the Marc by Marc Jacobs show tonight!

















This is a bit random but I decided to toss it in anyway since I've been meaning to post on it. As of November I will be a representative for MARK (the teenage division of Avon) and here is a picture of me wearing some of my Mark make-up. It's really great make-up. Great quality and low-priced!

Graphic Tees & Love

Graphic Tees aren't just something you throw on when you want to be lazy.


They can show off your muscles.



Or send a message.


Or bring two people together.

These Boots are Made for Walkin'

I waited many months to pull out these beauties. As Rachel Zoe would say, everyone needs some leopard in their life. These were too fabulous to pass up. I wore them the first chance I got :)

The Color Gray

A couple of years back, I used to be stuck in a terrible color drought. All my clothes were either black or gray (mainly). It wasn't that I tried to stay away from color, I just naturally gravitated to the black/gray pallet. It was my thing. However, about a year ago, I decided to make a conscious effort to get out of my comfort zone and buy clothes of various colors that suited me. But today, I decided to go back down memory lane. Today was actually the first time I had worn this skirt but I bought it a while back. At any rate I thought this post would be to celebrate the color gray. I don't find gray drab or boring at all. It goes well with silver which is never dull!

And here's a bit of randomness for you: I'm PSYCHED to read the September Issue of Vogue! Just got it today :D

Flower Power

So yesterday I wore a black floral sun dress. The dress is pretty cute but I wanted to focus on the accessory that made the outfit in my opinion. Got this ring at Charlotte Russe a few months back, can't remember how much I paid for it. However, I ADORE it! To me, it's a statement piece. Totally great.




Sunglasses, Fashion Bug

Fashion Mobile

Now usually I would take my pictures in a more professional way with my camera.
But I kind of wanted to see how my look would turn out on a cell phone (the T-mobile Vibrant). Today on my way to take my college placement test, I sported a gray faux leather jacket, a black & white tee that says: "Hip Hop Saved My Life" (which is true in so many ways for me), black sunglasses with white skulls on the arms & white pumps with silver beading on the toe all from Charlotte Russe. My jeans are Premium Denim which I got from the beloved Cest La Vie (my favorite boutique franchise). I thought I looked pretty fabulous just to be sporting a t-shirt and jeans.
