Put on your slippers!

I've been loving this style of shoe lately. It's a flat that can tie you over all year round. 

Some brands call them slippers, some call them loafers. I think their both ... Sloapers, lol.

They are so chic, funky, vintage, and edgy all at the same time! They are casual but dressy enough to replace those platform high heels that look amazing but are asking for you to break your ankle. I hope my favourite's inspire you to buy a pair for our upcoming seasons.

Buckle Down

I have quite a lot of joy when wearing animal prints. My last pair of leopard flats ended up looking like a wet cat after a long day of city walking in NYC in pouring rain. Before boarding at JFK I decided to toss them.
My criteria for flats:
Comfort is a must because these are the go tos! These will be your shoes when your traveling, shopping, working, errands runs, groceries, running after your dog haha(point made) Finding a pair that I like are hard to come by. Perfection is hard to achieve with picky style, so when their good enough I get them.

Diamonds in the Sky

This weekend I attended the Jay-Z and Kanye West concert tour for Watch the Throne. AMAZING!

Hip-hop and rap has definitely housed some serious fashion icons since it was born. Including HOVA and Yeezy who I've been really inspired by over the past couple of years.

This album and tour itself is pretty cool - Luxurious animal kingdom, gold clashing with some angry dogs, cheetahs and hawks. I loved it! The album art well let's just say that shit cray.

I loved what they both wore at the concert, mostly Kanye. It was really unexpected to see him in a leather kilt, leather leggings, an oversize Tee with his fierce face on it. Jay-Z was his classic self but his chains were extra polished that night. They get extra cheers from me when they rap about Louis Vuitton and shopping sprees in the couture department. Scroll down if you want to watch a couple of my fav music vids. It spills fashion and is the real work of artists expressing how it is all the way around.

Put your diamonds in the sky and praise the rap gods.

I ended the night with a half animal half Jay-Z t-shirt, I absolutely love it.

What is Fashion to me?

Wearable Art.

First of all Thank You to Lost at E Minor. If you want something different to look at everyday, sign up for their mailing list. As a faithful follower I will never unsubscribe, so long as your website shall live.
As a person who is heavily moved by appealing visuals and everything that influences trends. Lost at E Minor always gives me my daily dose. 

This is definitely a re-post. Yesterday I was looking through my daily newsletter from them and fell in love with the work of Nikoline Liv Andersen. With all the respect I have for all arts, I can't help but fall in love with Fashion Art. Maybe because it's having that feeling of expression on your body? It usually never has that same feeling to you as it does to the artist, but it gives you  a  feeling.

As ridiculous as I would feel with a monkey on my head.. such quality work that looks amazing, gives me amazing emotion.

'Also on exhibit is the project The Dance of the Deaf and Dumb Eye where Nikoline Liv Andersen examines the theory of the classic Japanese monkeys that naively shut themselves out of the world by not seeing, not hearing and not speaking. Monkeys housed in wigs a la Marie Antoinette and clothing sculptures are visualized through a counterpart to the French court of Louis XVI, whose excessive exuberance and poor communication between nobility and the people led to the French Revolution. The monkeys symbolize today's blind consumer.'

Poncho and Pencils

When there's a sunny day in Seattle- you take advantage of it. Today I chose to hang out on the balcony and do some sketchin. My mom had this poncho when I was younger. I snagged it and took it with me all through school and now to my new home. If you don't own one, I really do suggest getting one. It's the best! It's like a bathrobe but one you can wear in public. I'm also sportin some Sam Edelman boots. My new hiking shoes... Bahah. I would too! I won't even show you a pic of my Modern Vintage boots that I totally destroyed while hiking (for the record they were definitely not as high as these, I'm not that impractical).

And yes, when I stay home I prefer to wear 6 " heels then make-up.

VF Behind the Scenes- Gaga in NY

Lady Gaga goes back to her NY roots with Vanity Fair in their January issue. She also exposes herself a little more than usual; with nudes and also some deeper details about her love life. It was an interesting way that they used the city in the shoot. That red dress (Valentino Haute Couture) is so very stunning.
