1 Moodboard
Moodboards suggest a glimpse into someone's thoughts and more so what they have been getting a lot of inspiration from. Mine, per say, is exactly that considering that I've been obsessing over people. No, I'm not a crazy gay boy stalker and no I will not apologize for being overly attentive and intrigued by the lives other people lead. Let's face it, these people must of been the same way I was, gushing over someone else before they themselves became the people other people gushed over (does that make sense, it does in my mind.) I desperately have a craving, dare I say, appetite to be an artist in every sense of the word. My favorite definition of Artist is "a person who is skilled and passionate in the works he/she chooses to partake." Regardless of what you do, what you want to do, who you are or who you see yourself becoming, don't be afraid and don't let other people splash fear on your face telling you you can't do something or say you cant be a certain way or go a certain place. Find what your passionate about and practice, practice, practice- one things for sure, never give up. Here are some of the people I am currently, okay, s t a l k i n g....
Twiggy: I appreciate her modeling work and I can't pinpoint why but for some reason when I look at her photographs, I feel like an ultra hip 60's princess.
Alexa Chung: My sister showed me her and her book and I'm so glad she did because I cant even.
Grace Coddington: The creative director of vogue. I want to read her memoir so desperately. She's the epitome of cool, the definition of infinite. I want her to be my third Grandma.
Taylor Swift: Ummmmm, I don't think I need to say why.
Cher and Dion from Clueless: Best Friends, ultra chic, F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S.
Anna Wintour: Editor in Chief of Vogue. I want to climb inside her mind and sleep there.
Stevie Nicks: Always. Forever. If you haven't listened to her, I suggest you drop everything and do it now.
Winona Ryder: In all her films she takes on a fearless character and let's not forget her amazing style.
LORDE: I need to just take a moment. Her music (not just royals exists, so listen to the rest of her shit you basics *lol me until Austin City Limits) is my best friend and therefore Lorde and I are best friends and she knows this, duh.
Amy Pohler: I'm going to start reading her book soon and Parks and Rec just premiered yesterday! She's bold, she's brave, she's HILARIOUS, she's gutsy and she's Leslie Knope.
Lena Dunham: GIRLS just premiered and let me just ask, how in the world does one write, star in, direct and executively produce their own show of which they created. Help, I must be her lost long gay brother. Her book is like having a conversation with her while eating at an Ihop with an infinite amount of banana and strawberry pancakes.
Elvis: The King. I am trying so desperately to work a pompadour, it's not easy at all.
2 Looks
Many people hate the grunge look. I, for one, am all for it. The juxtaposition of a feminine silhouette along with an oversized shirt or tapered-fish net top definitely brings in the definition raunchy but also elegant and very, very chic. Plaid is a big part of the world of grunge. You can imagine that being as obsessed with Clueless as I am, that plaid had to be a part of todays looks.The 1st Outfit: An oversized plaid button up shirt with a solid perforated mini is a look that is the epitome of edgy. Pair it up with some Doc Martens and baby, we're in business.
The 2nd Outfit: This is so Cher. I paired a fuzzy solid gray sweater with a black, white and gray plaid skirt. I added a purse (by tod), a beanie and some cat-eye sunglasses to bring the look all together.
The Third Outfit: What I went for here was two possible looks. The first look could be the dress by it self with the brown leather gloves and some maroon docs or if you wish to be edgier instead of classier, go with the second look. Start with the dress and then throw a sheer tapered fish-net top over it.
The 1st outfit: I love the look of overalls with a turtleneck sweater. Here I used lighter pallets but you could definitely go for darker shades.
The 2nd outfit: A little bit more edgy like but also still a bit girly. Doc Martens are just the best, you got to get some girl/gay.
