Multi-Colored

Outfit Details:
crop top: Asos
skirt: Daily Look
clutch: vintage
extensions: c/o  RPZL 

I won this blue hair extension a few weeks ago from a giveaway and decided to do a fun post revolving around color! So I threw in some blonde extensions to add even more contrast to my hair. For the outfit I have wanted to pair this lemon crop top from Asos (the best place to find crop tops) with the perfect outfit for my blog, but have just been holding it hostage waiting for that perfect ensemble. I think I have found it, or at least one of them. 
This skirt is also another piece I have been wanting to wear since I got it back in the winter. Two amazing pieces combined to create this colorful outfit which works perfectly with multi-dimmensional hair I have going!

Animal Attraction
















Outfit Details:
dress: White House Black Market
skirt: Piperlime Collection via Piperlime
shoes: Dolce Vita
belt: vintage
clutch: hand-painted by me 

I got this dress so long ago because when I tried it on, I was so freakin' excited that I fit into a size 4!!! It was a tiny bit of a squeeze getting into it for this shoot but I did it!! The bottom portion of the dress is just a black fitted pencil skirt attached to the leopard printed bodice. To change it up I chose to pair it with this gold skirt I got from Piperlime. Funky combination, right?!

To take the funk to the next level I added these striped platform sandals! This was definitely out of the norm for me and I loved every minute of it!

Since I have seriously been trying to limit my clothing shopping, I have started to get a bit tired of some of my clothing. To get out of this rut, I have been doing things like this, which has helped tremendously!

What do you do to add spice to your wardrobe?

NYFW SS'13: Nolcha Fashion Week


Nolcha Fashion Week
9/12/2012
Sponsored by: Rusk
Key Artist: Michelle Webb

Mariana Valentina with Signature Makeup Look


Designers featured that day: 
Adolfo Sanchez – Aisha X Artini – Angelys Balek – Arrum Lilly – Baruni – Bolongaro Trevor – Firetrap – Gulshachereli – Kabuki U – Mariana Valentina – Pamela Gonzales – Pretty Green – Priti by Design – Richard Smith – Studio 6th Sense – YB Couture


Signature Look of the Show:
Check out the video tomorrow to see how to turn the signature look into an everyday look.

The signature look for majority of the designers was designed by amazing makeup artist Michelle Webb. The look was green glowing eye makeup to emulate the atmosphere of Spring and Summer; with a pretty pink cheek to give an overall light and airy fae-like look. The light pink coloring was also applied to the lips to make a stain.

Angelys Balek:
We did a black smokey eye and nude lip on the models.

Pamela Gonzales:
This was the most intricate look I did all fashion week and my favorite as well! We used black pigment on the eyes in a cat eye shape with gold on the inner corner and lash line halfway in. The lashes we put on the models had long black feathers on the outer corners. For added luxury to the look we lined the lips with a gold contour and put a peach into the center of the lips, pressed gold leaf onto the brows and then slashed on gold to the neck and collarbones of the models.

For the hair the Rusk Stylists did a loose, thick French braid and sprayed gold into the hair line around the face.

The clothes were a beautiful companion to this Baroquesque elaborate makeup design.
