My Magazine Leggings

Photobucket

Being that I am a plus sized girl, ( in everyone else's eyes) I never would have thought they would have these beauties in my size, I got these from Forver 21 while on spring break and I think they were about $10 if not less than that. Im happy I got them but, i need some more bold colored shirts to go with them, in this picture Im wearing a shirt I got from Forever 21 , I bought it big on purpose so I could make it drape off one shoulder ( Im seeing that happen alot now) and the shirt has these metallic chains hanging off them

Know Your Style History: Grace Jones

If you don't know who Grace Jones is, then you dont know fashion. You think Rihanna and Lady Gaga and Katy Pery etc, just make up these looks from the top of their heads? Your wrong, they draw inspiration from Grace Jones somewhere down the line. Grace Jones was and still is a famous model, actress, and singer. Her masculinity look made her the top of the line when it came to abstract and outstanding photograhy. Though Ms. Jones is 62 this year, she still has the style of a 23 year old Stefani Germanotta (Lady Gaga) Peep this legend.

When you think about her, this should be the FIRST picture that pops up in your mind, this is the most epic picture there is, recently Ms.Amber Rose (kayne west's girl friend) did her own rendition of this photo

The Difference Between Couture And Avant Garde (To Me lol)

Somewhere over this rainbow we call fashion, are two particular style that I love:Couture and Avant Garde. It will be my duty to design in these categories things you have never seen before. But since some of my friends and most of you may not know what the difference between them or what they even mean I would be happy to explain follow me:

Ok:Yes both these style deliver exaggerated yet tasteful pieces there are slight maybe major difference between them.

For instance, some people think " Oh they both are the same thing. They both have something to do with wild clothes. No!

Yes you are true but to me (lol my opinion counts) Avant Garde is more "exaggerated" if you will, than Couture. Couture can be very wild at times and sometimes it could be a suttle piece, but its pattern or something gives a "individual" vibe, get where im going? where as, Avant Garde is wild all the time, nothing is normal about avant garde, every piece is special. Thats why I adore Avant Garde a little more than Couture, (need more help? Well look at Rihanna as a more Couture person and Lady Gaga as a more Avant Garde person, get it now)
Here are some pics tell the differences

Bask in it's glory. This shoe scream 90's when those kinda platformish heels were in style (peep old school Destiny's Child and Spice Girls) they are so pretty and them being printed all over is even better. I wonder where they sell Betsey Johnson shoes in Baltimore, anyone know?

Style Icon Of The Day: Ke$ha

Ke$ha is the type of chick who's style screams drekitude but is so fashionable. She rocked my socks with "Tik Tok" (oo I rhymed lol) and I heard she even calls her style "garbage chic" which totally defines her style

Big hair is my addiction, I envy those who have it. I love big hair, it's over dramatic and gives you that rock star feeling at the same time.

If this doesn't scream garbage chic then I dont know what will. To conclude Ke$ha has an amazing sense of style , and looks like a trashier version of Taylor Swift!
