H Is For Hanna

Fashion is art in walking form. Temporary art if you will, for one changes it everyday. One work or masterpiece is made up of many different pieces and elements that express an idea and a personality. The pieces that make up this idea must be truly special, and it takes a true genius to create them. Hanna Bernhard is one such genius. Her bold statement jewelry that emulates animals holds a certain character that make it almost lifelike. Her pieces are timeless, and add a whimsical touch to any masterpiece.

G Is For Glamour

Glamour and fashion go hand in hand. When I think of glamour, I think of catwalks, models madeup and strutting, bright lights, and cameras flashing; however, in a book I read recently, glamour was what fairies used to make themselves beautiful, and, though illegal in the fairy world, if humans somehow got a hold of it, they could use it too...but only for a short time only. I began to wonder how amazing it would be if I could glamour myself to be enchantingly beautiful or glamour anything I want into existence. If I could glamour anything I wanted to have into my closet or makeup bag these would be this: Faux Fur Vest from H&M
Anna Sui Mini Rouge Karl Lagerfeld's gloves ( I wouldn't mind Karl as a stylist either)

By the way, her blog is great. I love her style.

Any Piece of Enfants Perdus Jewelry (see earlier post)

Well, that's pretty much it. Hey, a girl can dream.

F Is For Fur

I love furs (faux of course. I am an animal lover!), and often wish I could wear them all year,though unfortunately where I live more than half of the year is blistering hot; moreover, the weather combined with my budget (I am after all 15 and a job has still eluded me in these tight economic times) has prevented me from buying them, as most people don't wear them where I live. I have however gotten a nice fur coat from my grandmother that will definitely appear in later posts. Anyway, whether you go designer or thrift them, furs can add a fun and mystical (at least to me here in this ridiculously hot summer weather) look to any outfit. And if you cannot tell I am miserable in the heat of summer. It is over 100 degrees where I am, though it is perfect for swimming.


By the way, those last two pics are from one of my favorite editorials of all time (furs modeled by Dhani Harrison and Sasha Pivovarova) :)

E is for Enchantment

Lost princesses. Beautiful Faeries. Magical Woods. Mythical Creatures. We've all imagined ourselves a part of this world at one time or another, maybe when we were young or while daydreaming in math class. I often have very vivid dreams at night, sometimes of fairytale magic and happenings (good and bad), that inspire my daily life: my music (i play piano), my art, or what I wear. Here are a few fairytale-inspired looks and photos.

D is for Demode™

I love Fake Karl and his guide to life, and though I am writing this post, it is not giving just anyone permission to say this word. "Demode"....demode™ (there...that's much better) is Karl's catchphrase, and like Mr. T's "I pity the fool," it is for Karl's lips only. What exactly does it mean, you ask. Well, demode™ is used to describe things that Karl deems undesirable, and I am going to share with you some of my pet peeves.



Leggings
You probably think that this is a weird thing to dislike, as they are so popular; however, I think it just gives people a reason to not wear pants.



Fake People
I don't have a picture for this one, and am not trying to put anyone down; however, I just wanted to say be yourself (i know it's cliched).


Overdone Plastic Surgery
The horror! Shield your eyes beloved reader's before Donatella's Medusa lips turn you into frogs!



Orange Fake Tans
I don't usually feature Oompa Loompas on this blog....oh wait, that's just Valentino.

If you are a Karl fan too, you can buy a Demode™ T-shirt from Karl's blog....just don't wear it with leggings.

C Is For Comme des Garcons

I might just have to use her for the letter R because she is so awesome, but Comme des Garcons (which, by the way is french for "like the boys") designer Rei Kawakubo is a fashion genius, and her designs are fun and quirky. The line is known for its mixing of menswear with feminine pieces and prints (especially polka dots), and its pieces are whimsical, fun, and unique. The clothing has been described as "anti-fashion", some pieces appearing unfinished or oddly draped; however, its oddness is what makes it so appealing.

B is for Benjamin

This is kind of cheating because his name really begins with the letter A, but I decided to do this post on musician, actor, and fashion genius Andre Benjamin, a.k.a Andre 3000 and one of my fashion icons, whose new album is supposed to drop sometime later this year. Besides being a very talented and unique performer, Andre 3000 also has a very creative sense of fashion, having sported everything from blond wigs to pink fur pants. He has been dubbed the "best-dressed man alive" by some; moreover, his style perfectly reflects his personality (as one's always should) and is fun, quirky, and often unusual. And he looks great in a hat.
