F A S H I O N // The Black&White Lookbook (Spring 2015)

I've been envisioning this video for quite some time now and I finally got a chance to film it. I wasn't able to do all the editing I had imagined but it came out pretty well. I started using Final Cut Pro which is a totally different world compared to iMovie and a huge learning curve. Overall, I'm happy with the way it came out and hope you like the looks. Let me know in the comments which is your favorite!

The make up was super simple as I literally used the black and white eyeshadows on the Alice in Wonderland Palette and then used the 24/7 Pencil Eyeliner in Zero. I was able to get one product of the Cinderella line from MAC, so of course you know I got a lipstick.

Most of this stuff is pretty dated and if anything the newest items were the over the knee boots, black dress and kimono which was last fall/winter season. The good thing about these looks is that they are minimal and can be dressed up in any way you like and for any season.

Coffee Girl

Take your sip of coffee girl
Hide behind your cup
Don't let them see you fake
You're really just a nobody
Trying to be anybody
Just take each sip day by day

Rainy Day Lookbook

I wish it would rain more in Southern California. If you didn't know already, SoCal is in a drought. It's pretty damn awful considering it's raining/snowing everywhere else. And guess what, it's just going to get warmer. Anyway, lets talk about look details.

Mine (Color Burst): So my look was inspired by the idea that you can still look good while it's raining. Just get those thigh high boots on and you'll be as warm as any other person. The key here is finding a warm coat also to keep you warm as wearing sweaters! You'd be surprised how warm you can be with just a sweater and a coat. Of course I have my pops of color with my hair and my umbrella. You can use anything as an accessory.

Victoria (Layered Grunge): What I love about Victoria's look is she can pick anything up and make it look rocking. She probably found these pieces in her parents closet and they are still relevant today. She didn't exactly grow up in the 90s but she could fool anyone with this look. Oversized coats are great for rainy days and plaid shirts provide that extra layer of comfort. She also wore a scarf, knit headband, and socks under her rainboots to provide extra warmth.

Julia (Bold Silence): I love how sophisticated she looks yet still has her adolescent innocence. I wish I was that stylish when I was her age. Her dress reminds me of a mime and her red sweater is very bold, hence the name bold silence for her. As I said for my look, you can still wear a dress in the rain and be totally warm. Red, white, and black always work for any occasion.

Amber (Comfy Casual): Now Amber's is the epitome of a rainy day: pullover sweater, jeans, and a beanie. And hey, even on days it isn't raining this is my go-to outfit. Don't forget the Ugg boots to keep your feet warm. It's a wonder what those boots can do when you're cold. I've found as long as my feet and neck are warm I'm set to go anywhere in the cold.

She must be in the mafia

If she has that ace of spades, don't trust her. Look at her with her brown-eyed grin hiding under those sunglasses. She must be hiding something with such large sunglasses and those leggy boots. She's the master of disguise hiding amongst the people. You'll never know what she's done until you ask her. Only the mafia, will do anything to get away.

I just discovered the game Mafia so you can tell this post has been inspired by this game. So in the game you are dealt a random card: The aces are mafia, king is the sheriff/spy, queen is the nurse/healer/doctor, and any number cards are the townspeople. It's a game of secrecy, deceit, and rounding up the townspeople to defeat the mafia. Convince the people who is who to win the game. Simple right?
