<span style="font-size: large;">This set is for a random contest on Polyvore. I really like this Herve Leger two piece butterfly print set and in this set, I took a page from Beyonce's style book and accessorized with a pop of orange! I sooooo can't wait until I am able to afford to dress how I style my Polyvore sets! Soon come! :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I both wish there was a Zara here and am happy that there isn't! Fortunately I can shop online; I have already bought several pairs of shoes from the website but I am skeptical about buying clothes because I have to try things on. If there was one here, I'd surely go broke so it's probably a good thing. This set was just a random one, thrown together on this boring Sunday afternoon. Visit the Polyvore page for links to closer looks at the clothes, shoes and accessories featured here! :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Let me start with this lovely tulle skirt that I bought for only $3.00 at one of my favorite thrift stores here in Fayetteville. I love going here because it's like the shop owner gets her prices from Jesus Himself. As I held the skirt up and asked her how much it was, she was like, "<i>Oh praise Jesus...bless You Jesus...glory to Your Name Father...three dollars</i>!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Amen!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I paired it with a simple white print tank, black blazer and bowler cap. I wish I could show you the black lace up booties I wore as well...got them from Zara...my faves! I will take a pic of them and upload later.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As for accessories, I was pretty basic: pearl necklace, dangly earrings...cute! :)</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 600px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Set inspired by bags from <i><a href="http://shop.meredithwendell.com/" target="_blank">Meredith Wendell's</a></i> <a href="http://shop.meredithwendell.com/collections/resort-2013" target="_blank">Resort 2013</a> line. Created for a Polyvore contest where we had to showcase what we view as a bag trend for Winter 2013.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am actually not a big fan of bags. I used to buy purses all the time when I lived overseas; most of them have either been given away or are packed away somewhere. I don't remember the last time I bought a purse, to be honest; but I do like the bright colors of the <i>Meredith Wendell</i> collection.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I also liked the styling featured on the models and it was only a sweet coincidence that the catalog shots for two of the three bags I chose for the set happened to have models dressed in the same look: sweatshirt, ripped jeans, ankle-strap heels. I'd say it's a perfect combination as we transition to Spring...which, let the weather these days tell it, will be happening sooner than later.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Be sure to swing by the website, linked above, and check out <a href="http://shop.meredithwendell.com/pages/about-us" target="_blank">Meredith and Wendell</a>'s bags, belts and jewelry. Way too pricey for my budget but a little internet window shopping never hurt anyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Til next time, ya'll be good, nah, ya' hear? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Love,</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So my Beefy and I went to lunch today in Raleigh, and although it was rushed, it was still lovely! I'm still too shy to ask him to take photos of me so it wasn't until I got home (and once in the restaurant's restroom) that I was able to snap a few photos of myself. They suck...'cause my camera sucks...and I suck for not asking honey-love to take pics for me...but here is a wee glimpse of what I wore today:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So the <i>BCBG Max Azria</i> sweater I am wearing was actually purchased for Christmas but as I sat around in my pajamas all day on Christmas, I was more than happy to rip the tags off of it today. I love the rose-like detail around the collar and I knew my babe would love the style and color as well! (<i>He did!</i> ;)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have had these jeans for like 7 or 8 years now and they still look and fit great. Some of the beads are missing on the stitching but had I not told you, you wouldn't notice. I purchased these from a store called <i>Motivi</i> in Doha and because they stretch, they still work with my body. My babe loved them, too! Couldn't keep his eyes or hands off my bum! :p</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My shoes are from <i>Zara</i>. I purchased them on sale in Winter of 2011, methinks. I've only wore them one other time before today so it was nice to break them in a bit more.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I kept it very minimal with accessories: ribboned loop earring from <i>Old Navy</i> courtesy of my baby sis and a cracked pearl ring that I've had for ages from <i>Accessorize</i>. Also from <i>Accessorize</i> is my little gold "<i>Love</i>" clip that I wore in my hair:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As featured in the set, I'd hoped it would be cold enough outside to finally wear my faux fur coat, purchased from <i>Forever 21</i> back in November for a mere $7.00:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">However, it was only 52 degrees today. Sigh, perhaps next winter for you, my friend.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Speaking of $7.00, Beefy and I did some window shopping after lunch and one of our stops was <i>H&M</i> where I found this loverly blouse:</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This photo really does the blouse zero justice. It really is adorable and if you saw <i><a href="http://fashionjournal-of-krystanalis.blogspot.com/2013/01/2013-trend-printed-silk-blouse.html" target="_blank">my post from last night</a></i>, you would understand my true joy at finding this top...and at such a great price. Beefy was rushing me so I didn't get a chance to try it on. At a size 8, it's actually a perfect fit...almost too perfect. I probably should have gotten a size 10 but I doubt if he'll be driving me an hour up the road to Raleigh to exchange it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I can still work with it, though. And with its sheer material, it will certainly transition into Spring/Summer; cuff the sleeves and pair it with a cute cami, I am set! Babe and I STILL haven't made it to the movies so perhaps I will wear it then. I may even have him snap some proper photos of me this time!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tis all for now, my lovelies. Back to work tomorrow so time to get into my evening meditation. Chat with ya soon!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Printed silk blouses...gotta have 'em all...well, I adore print blouses of all materials...it just so happens that while creating this set (<i>another inspiring Polyvore contest</i>), all of my favorites ones just so happened to be either silk or silk-crepe...so silk it is!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am very much into blouses now. I plan on taking a trip to a couple of the thrift stores around town in the near future in search of some vintage tops. I'm also kind of into obnoxious prints. You know how something can be so obscene it's actually cute? No? Hmmm. I will have to post an example soon. I saw such a blouse in Marshall's about two weeks ago. I may go back and see if it's still there. It had a very old school Versace vibe to it. Just rude...but awesome.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That's kind of what I am into this year. Crazy print blouses paired with skinny jeans (<i>another trend I was never really into until now</i>) and ankle boots or lace up heels, and I am set no matter the occasion. I am also planning to invest in belts this year. I own ONE. Nicht gut. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm off to bed now. Gotta get up early tomorrow to get super cute for my day trip with my honey-love. We're going a few cities away for lunch, a movie, and a bit of shopping! I'm so excited! May get him to snap a few pics of me, so hopefully I'll have a proper outfit post for you all tomorrow!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So Polyvore had a contest where we were to create a set inspired by a model whose style we love the most. I don't have a model whose style I love the most; however, the first person who came to mind was Nadya Hasan. Nadya is a 22 year old fashion blogger from the United Arab Emirates and I must say, I am absolutely obsessed with her blog!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I visit her site daily, or should I say SITES daily to ooh and aah over what impossibly stylish look she is showcasing at the moment. The outfit shown above is actually one of my favorite looks by her. She is rocking this FABULOUS <i>Kenzo</i> dress with a waist belt from <i>H&M</i> and <i>Alexander McQueen</i> heels. Fabulous.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The girl can wear a dress! With her slim frame, she also looks amazing in pencil skirts, which I'm sure she owns by the hundreds.

<span style="font-size: large;">SO I created this set above to keep myself occupied until my honey returns and we go on our first date to the movies but ironically, right after I posted it, I got up and dressed to go to the movies alone. Boo-thang wants to see <i>Django Unchained</i>; so I decided to go and see my girlie movie alone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And without really thinking about it (as I decided at 4:00 to go to the 4:30 show and just threw on something quickly) what I wore was pretty similar to what I assembled in this set although I currently lack a proper camera or photographer to best capture my fit. Had to do best with what I had to work with, so here goes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In place of a comfy henly, I wore a comfy thermal from <i>Forever 21</i> topped with an Aztec print cardigan by <i>BCBG Max Azria</i> (purchased for the low-low at Ross).</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Because my hair is currently in cornrows, I didn't rock the high bun look featured in the set and instead topped me head with a winter beanie and called it a day. In place of biker boots (which I've yet to own), I rocked my brown "mud stompers" (as I call them) that I bought many years ago from <i>Pull & Bear</i>. Couldn't really get a good picture of them, though:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So that's it...thought I looked pretty cute considering I had 15 minutes to pull something together. My darling will be back tomorrow so we will be going to Raleigh in the next couple of days and as I NEVER get a chance to dress up for him, I am planning on going all out. I have some black mountain boots from Zara that are waiting patiently to get some action, so I will be playing dress-up over the next couple of days to see which look will make the date cut...Polyvore set coming soon!</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 600px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Guess who's bizzack...on Polyvore...and for a limited time only, knowing how I am during the week with work. But I love when there are contests on Polyvore. Not that I try to win them or anything, but because they give me inspiration for sets such as this one.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In this contest, we Polyvorists were asked to create a set describing our New Year's style resolutions. I didn't have very many as you can see but I will explain in a bit more detail the few that I highlighted above.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1st things first: jeans. I hadn't bought a new pair of jeans since the summer of 2011...I was long overdue. Just last week at Old Navy I found <a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=85732&vid=1&pid=329526042" target="_blank">a lovely pair</a> on sale for only $20 (photo soon) and I was thrilled with the way they fit. I am keen on buying more! One thing I love about jeans is that they are classic. They go well with EVERYTHING...dressed down with a t-shirt, dressed up with a nice blouse. And I really don't own enough. I forgot how good I looked in jeans...this year I plan to buy more...well, at least until the summer time...summer time is skirt time...have to let my underparts breathe.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The second thing on my list is my graduation from cutesy girlie tees to more mature blouses and tops. This kind of just happened without me planning it. I slowly but surely have found myself gravitating towards blouses and button downs; print t-shirts and things are primarily worn to either work out, lounge, or sleep in. I don't know if it has anything to do with the fact that I am dating an older man and I just don't know how it would look me walking alongside him with a t-shirt featuring some cute animal or cartoon character on it; or if it's just my personal preferences changing. I think it's a bit of both. I just like how I look in a nice blouse. I feel I look like a woman...and I AM a woman after all, nay?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There are a few parts left in me that likes to experiment with some more unorthodox looks and that comes through my choice of fashion jewelry. I still have my septum piercing which I can't wait to be able to rock properly...although it may be years from now when I am working for MYSELF and not on someone else's payroll. Soon come, soon come. There are a couple of other key pieces I'd like to own as well though. I call them my "chain gang" accessories. I am on the hunt for the perfect ear cuff earring set, a nose to ear chain, and a bracelet ring. Gotta have them! The most exotic piece would definitely have to be the nose to ear chain and the perfect one will be difficult to find...but I will find one...oh yes, I will find one. (<i>Photos coming soon...watch this space.</i>)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The next item on the list is also related to me getting my grown woman on. I can admittedly be very lazy when it comes to doing my nails. I always keep a nail file with me to take care of the chips and unevenness but when I polish them, I have a tendency to rock the chipped varnish look for a lot longer than I should. Full polish or no polish at all. That is something I will work on in 2013. My eyebrows as well, although right now I am in the process of letting them grown back. I want them to return to their original high school super wide thickness before shaping them again but this transitional phase ain't nothing nice. Going to try to work on that as well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Because seriously, you can leave out of the house in your damn pajamas but if you are well groomed, hair and nails neat, etc.; then you look like a woman who takes pride in herself and her appearance...and this is how I want to look at all times. I do, for the most part...but I want to do so all the time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And again, it may be in part related to the relationship I'm in...but is there anything wrong with always wanting to be presentable not only for yourself but for your man also? I am at the point now where I won't even go to the store hella ratchet looking anymore because I wouldn't want to be seen by someone who knows him. "<i>Man, I saw Kristen in Wal-Mart looking like who did it, why, and what for!</i>" Ain't gon' be me!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Number 5. I am going to buy some flats. I am not a big fan of flats, actually. The only flat shoes I have are sneakers. Problem is, I haven't seen any flats that really appeal to me. But I need some cute and comfy ones; comfy ones for work, and cute ones for when I go out with boo-thang so I don't tower over him. I want him to feel like he is taller SOMETIMES. I am not very fond of those ballet flats but I saw a few loafers online that I like and I'm starting to dig the women's blucher shoe. Not sure if I can find any nice ones in this TOWN I live in but I will check online. I get most of my shoes from Zara and there's a <a href="http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/category/us/en/zara-us-W2012-s/317518/Flats" target="_blank">pretty good sale</a> going on right now so perhaps I will make a purchase soon. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So that brings us to the last one which I already spoke about in my last post. I am trying to find a purple lipstick to rock this year. While creating the set above I was lead to this lovely sight where they have what appears to be MY COLOR for $15.99. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.limecrimemakeup.com/product_images/i/723/poisonberryswatch__81024_zoom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="287" src="http://www.limecrimemakeup.com/product_images/i/723/poisonberryswatch__81024_zoom.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's called "<i>Poisonberry</i>" by <a href="http://www.limecrimemakeup.com/products/POISONBERRY.html" target="_blank">Lime Crime Makeup</a>. I need this color in my life right now. Id hate to spend $16 for it though only to receive it and it not look anything like this very enticing photo above. It's my color, though...this is the one!! If not...it issssssssss the prototype! I'm going to find my damn lipstick.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But yea, that's basically it. Because I work so much, there really isn't cause for me to do much fashion wise. I don't wear 99% of the clothes in my closet anyway. But when I do shop, I rather like this shift towards a more mature look.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For example, when I was out shopping for something to wear to the Christmas do, I tried on this black dress at Ross. I will show you the photo and then explain why I didn't buy it:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/15866_10152307356410018_1385159506_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/15866_10152307356410018_1385159506_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Okay, so from the front, this dress is quite cute. Hugs the curves, I like the cut-out design and funky sleeves. It's adorable. But as you can see, from the side view, it's just a little too much happening. This is what Beyonce was talking about when she sang about a "<i>freak-um dress</i>" and I feel that when you reach a certain age (and when you have a certain body type) you should not have such dresses in your closet. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I just can't think of any occasion where I would wear a dress this tight, even if my man was right there with me. If I was about 10 years younger though, this would be in my closet right now. But I guess this is a part of my style resolution as well. This dress is a medium but it is clearly a Junior's medium and I resolved a while ago to no longer shop in the Junior's section. I am a woman and I like to dress accordingly. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There is nothing classy about this dress, really. However, if I had a flat ass, then it would look completely different and the class level would be raised. But this is all about dressing my age and body type, and not all attention is good attention. And I resolve to be recognized as the virtuous woman I am striving to be.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So yea, I couldn't fit that all on a Polyvore set so thought I'd spill it all out here. I think I have reached my quota for the evening. It's almost 3 a.m. I am all fashion blogged out right now but I will be back tomorrow! Trying to get as much as I can in while I have these few days off!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So good night, ya'll...again, watch this space as tomorrow I'll be filling in the blanks with more photos and examples of some of the isht I've been writing about. Time to lay it down for now!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Love yas!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Great Jesus in heaven, I haven't written on this blog in aeons but as I finally have three whole days off and have no idea what I am going to do with myself, I thought I'd kick off my end of the year celebration by nurturing the babies I've been neglecting for so long. Full time work will do it to ya...plus as my day to day wear consists primarily of polo tees and corduroy slacks, I've hardly any fashion reporting to do.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Still, what's the point of a blog if you don't write on it, eh? So no more excuses. Although this blog is visited by very few, I do like to have a wee scroll through from time to time, and I'd like to at least be able to entertain myself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So tonight I'd like to talk about one of the trends I am into this season: the plum lip.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have been on a serious hunt for a deep purple lipstick...and by serious, I mean spending 20 minutes in the makeup section of Wal-mart last weekend.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have really been feeling the deep plum lip for a while now but was never really motivated to pursue it because of my lack of social life. However, the very thing keeping me from social activity outside of the world wide web is what presented the opportunity for me to finally play dress up again, for the first time since..................................................................well, since the last time I dressed up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We had the staff Christmas party at Logan's Steakhouse last weekend. At last, a reason to wear lipstick. I mean, occasionally I may put a little color on for work but it's far and few between. And when I do, it's "<i>Black Plum</i>" by Givenchy that I wear. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.jeddahbeautyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/givenchy_black_plum.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="376" src="http://www.jeddahbeautyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/givenchy_black_plum.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have had that color for EV-ER and I love it. But it's more of a deep wine than a deep purple if you ask me. Here are few snaps of me wearing the shade about two weeks ago:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Isn't it purrrrrrrrrrty! And as you can see, this dark purple lip looks great on all skin tones. Again, when applied with my dark liner, my Givenchy lipstick gets closer to what is shown on the lovely blonde above, and I have been rocking that for quite some time now. However, I'm looking for something more...purplish, like what Maven and Sara are wearing. And I <i>thought</i> I found it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In the store Revlon's "<i>Violet Frenzy</i>" appeared to be a lot darker than what it eventually turned out to be. Unfortunately, there weren't any samples there for me to swipe on my hand but it seemed, on the surface, to be close to what I was going for. I was wrong.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's too...violet. I was going for something deeper, darker. I actually had to mix it with my Givenchy to get a little closer to the color I am looking for and it still wasn't quite it...so, sigh, the search is still on. Luckily for me, though, what with my limited social life, I won't have cause to darken my lips for a while...so I still have some time. I need to find it and rock it soon, though, as come February, I may want to go in a different direction...I am already predicting what my Spring color will be...hmmm, I may need to start looking for that as well! ;)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anywho, I will take some better photos tomorrow of how each color looks on my lips separately as well as how they look together so watch this space. In the meantime, here are some photos I snapped before heading out to the Christmas dinner last weekend. (<i>Don't talk about my ancient Nokia phone. An upgrade is in the works. Don't judge, don't judge! :p</i>)</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Style set contest entry...rules were to create a set inspired by the featured fashion looks provided. This look in particular caught my eye. It's very casual and effortless yet very stylish!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After I created the set, I browsed through a few other contest entries and came across another girl who used this look in her set. She was able to find other photos of this woman as well and I learned that her name is Leandra Medine:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A bit more probing (via <i><a href="http://thecoveteur.com/Leandra_Medine" target="_blank">The Coveteur</a></i>) led me to the new knowledge that she is an author, and more popularly she is the creator of the blog, "<i>The Man Repeller</i>". I then learned of this interesting term "<i>man repelling</i>" which is defined as such: <i> </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>"Manrepelling: outfitting oneself in a sartorially offensive way that
will result in repelling members of the opposite sex. Such garments
include but are not limited to harem pants, boyfriend jeans, overalls,
shoulder pads, full length jumpsuits, jewelry that resembles violent
weaponry and clogs.”</i> </span></blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, thanks for that, Coveteur!<i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">(By the way, click on the link for <i>The Coveteur</i> above for some great photos of Leandra's style! And for more "<i>MR</i>" style, click <a href="http://www.manrepeller.com/" target="_blank">here</a>!) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I took the following photo from Leandra's blog:</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's what she had to say about her look:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Irony, oh irony. When I saw this shirt at American Apparel I laughed and
rolled my eyes and did this weird thing with my tongue that tends to
signal confusion before I yanked it off its hanger and took it toward
the register. Part of me felt like a drug smuggler, but most of me
recognized the silliness of this shirt–obviously, we don’t all post the
same stuff–even though I did hope I’d find several variations of these
photos that were taken on Tuesday to write a story called “I’m So
Irreverent, What’s Up?” Black and white graphics look great with
anything. A double cheers if the graphics in question muse funny or at
very least, controversial things. </i></span></blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What I also found super cool is that it wasn't after I saw the other photos of Leandra that I noticed that the red bracelet on her arm is in the shape of lips...I too created the set with a red bracelet in the shape of lips. Aaaaah, stylish minds think alike!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Again, check out her blog <i><a href="http://www.manrepeller.com/" target="_blank">The Man Repeller</a>. </i>I am in love with her style and will definitely adding her posts to my RSS feed! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sigh. I can't wait to have a reason (and the finances) to dress awesome and just be fabulous for the fun of it. One day, one day! Until then, I will keep being inspired by cool chicks like Leandra!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ciao babies! Tis my bedtime! More posts soon!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Okay, so last night while looking online wedding dresses, as I do every time I watch "<i>Say Yes to the Dress</i>", I came across this magnificentness:</span></div>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.verawang.com/veraunveiled/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Look15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://www.verawang.com/veraunveiled/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Look15.jpg" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Dahlia Strapless Open-Back V-neck Gown</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Isn't this the most awesome wedding gown ever?? Now, I am not sure I would ever get married in such a dress; hell, it costs over $7000 and I want a dress that is a bit more practical; however, if I had the chance to just go all out, I would!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The first thing I love about it is that IT ISN'T WHITE! I know I will not get married in a white dress or an off-white, ivory, cream, none of the above. And on her website, Vera Wang showcases her <a href="http://www.verawang.com/veraunveiled/2012/04/front-and-back-spring-2013-bridal-collection-2/" target="_blank">Spring 2013 line</a> which has a lot more unconventionally colorful bridal gowns for the unconventional bride to be.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I am all about non-traditional wedding dresses and Vera Wang seems to be the leader in the game as far as these dresses go! There are a few on her <a href="http://www.verawang.com/EN/wedding/bridal-collection/fall-2012" target="_blank">Fall 2012 line</a> that are equally awesome, a lot champagne and black; again, very non-traditional. </span></div>

<div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 600px;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I went and saw what I hope to be my new <a href="http://kristenalyce.tumblr.com/post/31411387393/touch-and-agree-i-believe-in-dreams-of-dream" target="_blank">super-cute apartment</a> and my imagination has started running wild! I have been gathering ideas on how I want to decorate each room, and the first room I have created a color board for is the bathroom.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma92v8a0SB1qb4obh.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma92v8a0SB1qb4obh.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The bathroom in the apartment has a very basic khaki colored wall and even now as I imagine it, I am imagining the wall in a vibrant green. I really hope they let me paint the wall. I am not sure if I would put green rugs instead of painting the wall but the color of these rugs below (from <a href="http://www.target.com/p/room-essentials-bath-rug-spinach-green/-/A-12903950" target="_blank">Target</a>) is very close to what I would like on the wall:</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://img3.targetimg3.com/wcsstore//TargetSAS///img/p/12/90/12903950.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://img3.targetimg3.com/wcsstore//TargetSAS///img/p/12/90/12903950.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love this green; it is a lot of fun and works year round! Target calls it a "spinach green"; I've been looking at colors on the <a href="http://www.behr.com/Behr/home#channel=EXPLORE;view=14;vgnextoid=6bd8ea6621ca5110VgnVCM1000008119fea9RCRD" target="_blank">Behr website</a>; I may go and pick up a few samples this weekend.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I chose the colors coral, cream and chocolate brown as my accent colors. I think they complement the green beautifully. In the set, I featured a coral shower curtain from <a href="http://us.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/home-bath/B093742.jsp" target="_blank">Anthropologie</a>, which is actually WAAAY more than what I would pay for a shower curtain but I love the color and the flower detail:</span></div>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://images.anthropologie.com/is/image/Anthropologie/B093742_085_b?$product410x615$" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://images.anthropologie.com/is/image/Anthropologie/B093742_085_b?$product410x615$" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">They are asking $128 for this thing...I'll pass.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So many people do a sea theme in the bathroom, what with there being water and all and I certainly didn't want to go there in my bathroom. I was actually interested in leaning more towards tribal influences and green nature; however, this coral rug by <a href="http://www.allmodern.com/Thomas-Paul-Tufted-Pile-Coral-Rug-CBC-TMP1142.html?cv=" target="_blank">Thomas Paul</a> is just the bomb...I wish it wasn't so freaking expensive (<i>the 3x5 is like $350</i>) but I hope to find a cheaper version and in a plush bathroom version:</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.domesticmodern.com/%5Cimages%5Cblog%5Ccoral_brown-cream-b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.domesticmodern.com/%5Cimages%5Cblog%5Ccoral_brown-cream-b.jpg" width="280" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Isn't it awesome? I really love this rug; I just think it would look great on the floor in between the tub and sink. Plus, although it is a coral print, the color and style would still flow with animal print/inspired hand towels I fell in love with; also by <a href="http://www.2modern.com/accessories/towels/Thomaspaul-Bazaar-Hand-Towel-Set?utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=cj_affiliate&utm_campaign=cj_affiliate_sale&utm_term=11048464" target="_blank">Thomas Paul</a>:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.2modern.com/c.418126/site/ProductImages/thomaspaul/HT0261ALC.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.2modern.com/c.418126/site/ProductImages/thomaspaul/HT0261ALC.jpg" /></a><span style="font-size: large;"> They are also a bit pricey but I think I will splurge on these. There is a matching <a href="http://www.2modern.com/designer/Thomaspaul-Accessories/Thomaspaul-Elephant-Shower-Curtain" target="_blank">shower curtain</a> and <a href="http://www.2modern.com/designer/Thomaspaul-Accessories/Thomaspaul-Lion-Bath-Mat" target="_blank">bath mat</a> as well but I think that will be a bit excessive; I'm already mixing a variety of themes as it is!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One thing I am certain of is the color scheme. Because there aren't any windows in the bathroom, I have to find another way to bring light and life to the room. Aside from the cozy colors, I want to bring in some elements of garden nature. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Perhaps a few bamboo stalks for the corner, a poppy in a small glass vase on the sink, a bonsai tree on the toilet. I don't know but plants and flowers brighten up any room and because the bathroom is often seen as a sanctuary, I want to make it as zen as possible. I'm quite interested in hinoki bath products, if anyone is wondering about housewarming gifts! ;)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We'll see...the board above is just a starting point; I know the execution will depend greatly on what is readily available to me here so stay tuned. You will definitely be updated as the process kicks off and I can't WAIT to show you the final product...let me move in first! :p</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In the meantime, off to plan my kitchen! I had a few things I wanted as accessories, mostly from ModCloth but my man thought they were a bit juvenile and though I still have time, I have to start thinking in terms of what things will reflect my style but still be transferable when I get to the day of cohabitation. Still though, how cute are these items:</span></div>
