I haven't blogged since last May! I'm still not sure I'm ready to return. I got so burned out last time. I think I'll take a slow approach and not pressure myself to post so often. Maybe just once or twice a week. But with better posts with more content.

</a></div> I've been so uninspired by makeup lately. it used to be I could create a look and happily wear it for a few weeks before I got bored but now I tweak and change everyday and I'm always bored. But lets face it I haven't been myself at all lately. I don't know. Maybe it's my layout change? i thought it would inspire me to take this blog further but it seems to have had the opposite effect. If anything I'm closer than ever to abandoning the whole project. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S_KUhiXFI2I/AAAAAAAABck/eP8cl168BYY/s1600/pinkpurple4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S_KUhiXFI2I/AAAAAAAABck/eP8cl168BYY/s400/pinkpurple4.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br />
<br />
So here is some makeup I've been playing with using some fresh spring pinks and purples. I used a pale lilac/grey cream as an all over lid base. Then I used a icy pale lilac, almost pink, loose powder as an highlighter in the inner corners but also a wee dot in the center of each lid to draw in the light. Then I used a thin line of eggplant purple cream liner.<br />
<br />

I used my favorite blush ever, a natural pink flush on the cheeks and a rosy pink gloss on the lips.<br />
<br />

I've been working a lot, A LOT and I really feel i have no time for recreation between that and my errands and chores. I've just been way too busy to think about posts or clothes or pictures. I haven't kept up on the blogs I follow either.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S-guS6xEyaI/AAAAAAAABYQ/ehFUCaKXKhw/s1600/suitcase1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S-guS6xEyaI/AAAAAAAABYQ/ehFUCaKXKhw/s400/suitcase1.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>This month, not sure of the date, marks my one year anniversary of keeping this blog. And I'm wondering if it's worth the bother to continue. I think I'd feel guilty if I stopped. And unlikely to ever start it up again. But while it can be fun for me, it isn't necessary. There are thousands of indistinguishable blogs out there and I'm not sure I want to contribute to the deluge. <br />

I even tried to break up the monotony by doing a dress, skirt, and pants look, though all the outfits are really very basic. I wanted the stripes to be the star so no over accessorizing.<br />
<br />

I really loved this chevron striped party dress as it has a nice rockabilly feel. Alas, I barely got it on and had to smash my breasts down to do it. As size five B cups want this dress? It was only worn for the pictures and I had to change to something else the night I wanted to wear it out.....so sad.<br />
<br />

<br />
I wore the dress with just basic black tights and cute little black and white maryjanes, probably my favorite heels. I love that it's snug at the breast and waist and flares out in the skirt.<br />
<br />

And a back view to see the little bow tied messily in the back.<br />

I can never get pictures to take right in the bedroom because of the purple walls, I think. Color adjust just makes things worse. This is a casual look, for going to flea markets in the early hours.<br />

Here's a better view to see my red flats. I just wanted a little splash of color. It's hard to tell that the tee shirt is striped because the stripes are so tight. Worn here with a denim skirt and black tights.<br />

And my favorite of the three looks. This is my cowl neck stripe top worn with sailor cut jeans and black and white spectator peeptoes.<br />

I went thrifting with my best friend in this and I just felt really comfortable. I think I'll do this one again, which is rare for me. Usually I just wear things once and no matter how much I love them I just can't stand to look at them again. Maybe it's because I have so many pictures to remind me.<br />

My mom doesn't quite live int he same place as I do and we often have conflicting schedules. So I get to see her about once a month. And we always get brunch at the same place because we like it and it's my favorite so I go there as much as possible anyway.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S9WfSmsTxxI/AAAAAAAABQQ/phXHWe3EhX4/s1600/uptownlady1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S9WfSmsTxxI/AAAAAAAABQQ/phXHWe3EhX4/s400/uptownlady1.jpg" width="236" /></a></div><br />
<br />
I usually try to go out of my way to dress up when she visits which is weird because she's not formal at all. Sometimes it makes sense if we're going to a play but even if we just get a bite to eat and take a walk or sit in my house and talk, I still try to dress like a "lady".<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S9WfT5WRPdI/AAAAAAAABQU/mFrKOOpG9KY/s1600/uptownlady2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S9WfT5WRPdI/AAAAAAAABQU/mFrKOOpG9KY/s400/uptownlady2.jpg" width="260" /></a></div><br />
<br />
This usual translates to a kind of retro secretary/librarian look. Anything fancier ladylike would just be totally out of place, I guess. So I wore my pink/off white houndstooth skirt and a white blouse with the puffy sleeves and sweet bow at the neck. Then I just through on my black and white spectator heels and sheer nude stalkings. I felt a little over dressed in a way but I really liked the look. Everyday is Halloween anyway, so who cares!<br />

The only thing menswearish about it are the wide leg pants and corduroy blazer.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S9IujUqKTOI/AAAAAAAABOQ/XQhjohQxW-E/s1600/menfem4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S9IujUqKTOI/AAAAAAAABOQ/XQhjohQxW-E/s400/menfem4.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br />
<br />
I wore the "suit" with a creamy ruffled blouse which in the end felt too prissy. I would have preferred a plainer blouse or button up.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S9IuiMG-phI/AAAAAAAABOI/X-_MMttDYRY/s1600/menfem2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S9IuiMG-phI/AAAAAAAABOI/X-_MMttDYRY/s400/menfem2.jpg" width="237" /></a></div><br />
And then the shoes were dainty heels with little bows when what I really wanted were brogues , spectators with a more solid heel.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S9IuipjctXI/AAAAAAAABOM/SX0RXOn6taQ/s1600/menfem3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S9IuipjctXI/AAAAAAAABOM/SX0RXOn6taQ/s400/menfem3.jpg" width="223" /></a></div><br />
<br />
I like the purse though. It ties in all the neutrals I was using. I'm just disappointed I wasn't more 70s looking. Oh well! <br />

I'm doing much better at using restraint and not buying a much of stuff I don't need or even really care for just because it's new and limited edition. Having said that, I couldn't resist the Liberty of London collection that came out last month with its adorable packaging. I did however manage to only buy the two things that most appealed to me. The india ink blue nail polish and the grey shadow. And once I had a new grey shadow in hand, I knew I'd have to do a smokey eye post.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S84sN9SMzWI/AAAAAAAABME/pSob8hIs2J8/s1600/smokeyeyeberrylip5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S84sN9SMzWI/AAAAAAAABME/pSob8hIs2J8/s400/smokeyeyeberrylip5.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br />
<br />
I created this really easy look by first applying the pale dove grey shadow (satin finish) all over the lid. I then used a matte black shadow in the outer third of my lid into the crease and up a wee bit. Lastly I used a black cream liner (you could go thin or thick on this) and then a bit of mascara.<br />

I finished the look with a pink blush, berry lipstain and berry gloss. Foundation and powder and all that stuff too of course!<br />

I'm trying to practice restraint in creating day appropriate looks and realistic versions of runway makeup but fell free to go wild! <br />

I like doing makeup posts, in part, because you can actually see my eye color. For some reason close-ups don't result in red eye but all of my other photos do resulting in red eye corrector resulting in black eyes. But I like my real eyes much better.Lacey Starrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10376004949624773305noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629943789180765077.post-45216739294331386632010-04-18T09:12:00.000-04:002010-04-18T09:12:17.723-04:00Daily Wear: Girly Rocker<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Rock and Roll is such a classic look to me. I think it's because black never quite goes out of style. And we certainly love our icons to be on the rebellious side. And even though I realize it's actually a classic look, forever on the cutting edge, the very definition of cool....I can't help but feel really uncomfortable playing the part.<br />

I think it's because rock star clothing tends to be tight and shiny and sexy, while I myself am a wallflower. I don't like sexy looks on myself. I gravitate toward a sort of vintagey cutesy look. So every so often, probably once a month, I try to create a rocker look that's a bit more on the girly side. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S8r_x9TnvuI/AAAAAAAABJ8/UI2XG6wAmNQ/s1600/girlyrocker2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S8r_x9TnvuI/AAAAAAAABJ8/UI2XG6wAmNQ/s400/girlyrocker2.jpg" width="272" /></a></div><br />
And I always fail! haha!<br />
<br />
It doesn't help that it makes me strike actual "poses". awkward, unflattering me! <br />
<br />
This outfit started with the silver brocade tulip skirt. I knew it has cute rocker girl possibilities and I wanted to try the look without incorporating any pink at all. I added up zip up legging as much for warmth as the rock factor. My blouse has a bra hook closure that you can't really see here. Then of course the most important part was the high heeled ankle boots!<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I took a close up of the skirt so you could really see the brocade. Otherwise it just looks like metallic shiny crap.<br />

No spoilers here, and please don't tell me anything! I'm not much of a tv watcher and I got in late in the game. I haven't netflixed my way through the series yet.

About anything! And I'm being really terrible about procrastinating with every little thing. I feel like these problems are linked in some way. Like I can't make a decision because I really don't want to have to do anything.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S8Mx1UU6JkI/AAAAAAAABIk/E6ap73NwaSw/s1600/skirttop.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 246px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S8Mx1UU6JkI/AAAAAAAABIk/E6ap73NwaSw/s400/skirttop.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459261965362406978" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Procrastination. I still have yet to file my tax returns and I have only, what, three days left? My I.D. (don't drive) expired rendering me unable to buy alcohol or use my debit card in certain establishments. I knew this was happening a month before it expired and yet did nothing. Which is what I did last time it expired. I have issue with getting it renewed because I also need to do the name change on it, from when I got married two years ago! procrastination.... I know they only take check or money orders but I dont do checks and a money order is prepaid and I dont know the cost of renewing and doing a name change, etc so I keep letting it go. I was supposed to do that first thing this morning but it isn't happening and this was like the one day during the week when i might have had time to do it.<br /><br /><br />Indecision. I can't dress myself anymore. I used to just let instinct take over and lead me through the process but for the first time in my life I have to try on multiple things and I'm never happy with the result. Like in these pictures here where I kept changing the combination.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S8Mx05jkrII/AAAAAAAABIc/NzDKqTs4Moc/s1600/jacket.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 278px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S8Mx05jkrII/AAAAAAAABIc/NzDKqTs4Moc/s400/jacket.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459261958176156802" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And I've even been indecisive about where to go on vacation in the fall. I wanted to go to Paris and Brussels but then my husband wasn't into Belgium and I thought September would be too cold for a London/Scotland trip because London was so chilly last year so then we finally came to terms with Paris and Barcelona. But then I couldn't get the time from work that I wanted and now I have to go late september into early october and I felt Paris might not be as enjoyable because i like to spend so much time outdoors. So then it was Barcelona and Naples, Italy because I thought it would be cool to see the isle of Capri and pompeii and it's more southern than Paris so it will be warmer. But then I read a lot about Naples not being so nice and I became paranoid that if it was too cold for beaches I wouldn't have anything else to do. So then we decided on Rome.

We don't celebrate. But usually we seem to go to this vegan place for brunch because before we were dating we went there for an easter brunch and it was the day we realized we both liked each other. We spent that whole day together and it is a very fond memory for us so went again. But they seat you with strangers if you have a small party and I'm really really not good at strangers. So I was mostly silent and irritated and probably came across as a total bitch. Eh.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S7yB69wRkuI/AAAAAAAABIE/ymXyeekvjvQ/s1600/easter3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S7yB69wRkuI/AAAAAAAABIE/ymXyeekvjvQ/s400/easter3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457379698475635426" border="0" /></a><br />This is the filmy sheer pink dress form my flapper photos last year. I forgot how low-cut it was! I was going for a kind of ethereal ghost girl vibe but i mostly failed. I think I simply has on too much pastel so I just looked like an Easter egg. I got the theme of sheerness with the dress and the fishnets but it just didn't come together right. I would love to see someone else's ghost girl photos! lol<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S7yB6Ygb_0I/AAAAAAAABH8/8SLQjm3LIFQ/s1600/easter2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 257px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S7yB6Ygb_0I/AAAAAAAABH8/8SLQjm3LIFQ/s400/easter2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457379688477097794" border="0" /></a>Outfit details: pink ruffle dress (thrifted); purple fishnets (urban outfitters); cream maryjanes (target); cream headband (forever21); necklace (BarkerBell).<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S7yB7m1kYsI/AAAAAAAABIU/JBx7_RUOlRc/s1600/frontside.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 274px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S7yB7m1kYsI/AAAAAAAABIU/JBx7_RUOlRc/s400/frontside.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457379709503693506" border="0" /></a>This is a blurry side of of my necklace.

I really like combining prints so I've been experimenting a little and wanted to show you some looks I've come up with. I don't like silly fashion rules and I see no reason to not wear prints together.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S7J1JMh4eqI/AAAAAAAABF8/Oo8Plir4Yr4/s1600/brocade1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 164px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S7J1JMh4eqI/AAAAAAAABF8/Oo8Plir4Yr4/s400/brocade1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454550899541703330" border="0" /></a>This is the first experiment. Really subtle. I kept to the same aqua color palette which I think really worked. It hardly looks mixed at all. I wore this to a lunch out with Mom.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S7J1J6zFM7I/AAAAAAAABGU/hMN-5g6URnI/s1600/brocade4.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 206px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S7J1J6zFM7I/AAAAAAAABGU/hMN-5g6URnI/s400/brocade4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454550911961871282" border="0" /></a><br />The button up skirt had aqua and black THIN stripes on a white background. The aqua/gold brocade jacket over top has a more open, wide print. I think staying on the same color (aqua) and mixing large and tiny prints makes this work. I kept the rest of the outfit really simple with grey pants.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S7J1Jqi37qI/AAAAAAAABGM/X40in3MquKw/s1600/brocade3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 207px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S7J1Jqi37qI/AAAAAAAABGM/X40in3MquKw/s400/brocade3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454550907598925474" border="0" /></a><br />Outfit details: aqua brocade jacket (H&M); aqua strip shirt (aerpostle); grey skinny pants (urban outfitters); cream maryjane heels (target).<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S7J1w4PQOoI/AAAAAAAABGs/9uUrpKZyCos/s1600/check3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 208px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S7J1w4PQOoI/AAAAAAAABGs/9uUrpKZyCos/s400/check3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454551581289626242" border="0" /></a><br />Experiment no# 2. Stripes and plaid. These prints are in a similair porportion but I toned down the mixed print effect by having the purple of the dress surrounded by a lot of black.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S7J1wY92OYI/AAAAAAAABGk/EBa-QZ-gfiU/s1600/check2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 206px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S7J1wY92OYI/AAAAAAAABGk/EBa-QZ-gfiU/s400/check2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454551572895119746" border="0" /></a>This is a strapless dress overtop a striped tee.

Again, I used neutrals,( in this case brown tights and boots) to tone down the jarring prints. I think i got away with this one only because the jacket was viewed as a warmth-giver, not an outfit-maker.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S7J1xkIbFrI/AAAAAAAABG8/s4Op1yB3JzU/s1600/geo2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 215px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S7J1xkIbFrI/AAAAAAAABG8/s4Op1yB3JzU/s400/geo2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454551593072137906" border="0" /></a>Outfit details: art deco dress (BGBG); blue polka dot jacket (charter club); brown tights (hue); tall brown boots.<br /><br /><br />I think this last one was my favorite only because I loved the dress and the way it fit so much.Lacey Starrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10376004949624773305noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629943789180765077.post-7555003652382054712010-03-28T18:33:00.002-04:002010-03-28T18:43:20.597-04:00Z Spoke--Zac PosenThis is just a little peek at Z Spoke, Zac Posen's line, to be found at Sax Fifth Avenue.

And in this case "life" is code for work. But there's no time like the present as they say.<br /><br />And what I mean by "eclectic whimsy" is really my way of saying I dressed all kooky and took pictures of it.

Maybe it was all the buzz with teal eyeliner. I don't know. But somehow I decided to do attempt a smokey eye look using green and teal instead of the typical greys of the modern browns.<br /><br />It turned out better than expected and certainly better than photographed. Taking pictures of my makeup is seriously hit or miss and unfortunately this was miss. I haven't discovered a consistent way to get makeup shots and its very frustrating. Alas, here it is....<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S5u52QqyJGI/AAAAAAAABB8/XyR5TJ4J660/s1600-h/marmakeup.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S5u52QqyJGI/AAAAAAAABB8/XyR5TJ4J660/s400/marmakeup.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448152516073235554" border="0" /></a>It translates much more daytime than it did in reality.

Probably the flash but the pictures were all around too dark with out it.

That's definitely a website I've logged a lot of hours on just browsing and oohing and aahing! I don't have any affiliation with the sellers featured here. I just really like the pieces and wanted to share them with you. <br /><br />Last time I focused on mid century modern pieces, because that's what I really love best. But this time I looked for more romantic pieces which is how I'd like to style my bedroom more toward. I didn't search for any particular era, just sort of looked around clicking on the sweet stuff.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S5ekRyNPTGI/AAAAAAAABAk/MwETHWph8ec/s1600-h/birdacge.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 399px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S5ekRyNPTGI/AAAAAAAABAk/MwETHWph8ec/s400/birdacge.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447002899769936994" border="0" /></a>Vintage wooden and wire birdcage by Little Brown Bird.

Really Really a lot. So I've been really bad about finding time to work on stuff for this blog. I'm exhausted. My back hurts. No, make that my whole body hurts. I'm emotionally stretched very thin right now as well. And I may very well be hung over right now.<br /><br />And there is no end in site. <br /><br />I really hope to have a day to work on blog stuff and catch up on household chores soon. Right now it looks like I'll get a day off on March 15th.

So I thought today would be the perfect day to launch my long promised tribute to red heads. I've been a red head my whole life (well except for a few unfortunate teenage years when I died in purple or black). It's taken me a really long time to learn to love and accept being, what they call, a "ginger".<br /><br />I got picked on mercilessly growing up for being different. I guess I don't quite fit in in other ways too but this was immediately noticeable.....from across the room! But now I love having something special about me. As an adult I can see the value of having a "rare" look. I no longer feel it makes me ugly, but instead exotic! Well at least here. Some countries I could probably just blend right in.<br /><br />Enough about me! I decided to do my first redhead post on Laura Prepon because I mentioned her very early on in this blog when I was obsessed with high waisted 70s jeans. I also have a soft spot for That 70s Show. While not my favorite era of vintage, it's cute and funny. And I when I die heaven will look like the Foreman house!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S45sKk6VHTI/AAAAAAAAA_s/Om3G_wtEOH0/s1600-h/lauradonna.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 319px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S45sKk6VHTI/AAAAAAAAA_s/Om3G_wtEOH0/s400/lauradonna.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444407928500329778" border="0" /></a>This is a promo pic for the show so she's in character but still kinda not.

But this blog is in part about style, particularly in clothing so I do feel I should post some of what I wear. These were taken on three separate days in February and are kind of all over the place in terms of style. I'm trying to find patterns in the things I wear but the only thing these have in common is there are no pants!<br /><br />In order that I wore them.......<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S4qARcXw2MI/AAAAAAAAA-8/IKUCoDTdNMU/s1600-h/sofasit.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 341px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S4qARcXw2MI/AAAAAAAAA-8/IKUCoDTdNMU/s400/sofasit.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443304136792660162" border="0" /></a>This is the most formal of the three.

I guess I accomplished it because I got a lot of compliments that day. I'm wearing a vintage pink dress that's really light and airy with pale dove grey tights, an aqua and gold brocade jacket and gold maryjanes.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S4qAQw9Om-I/AAAAAAAAA-s/x9yGYoKTD0A/s1600-h/closeupplay.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S4qAQw9Om-I/AAAAAAAAA-s/x9yGYoKTD0A/s400/closeupplay.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443304125138639842" border="0" /></a>And just a face shot that sort of shows my makeup.

I had to work at the vintage shop that day. I intended to go out afterward and see some bands play but I've been so extremely sleep deprived and stressed about some stuff that I just couldn't make it. I don't like to dress sexy anyway.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S4p_HaEpVaI/AAAAAAAAA-k/cxas8X6mZ-o/s1600-h/tinachow.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S4p_HaEpVaI/AAAAAAAAA-k/cxas8X6mZ-o/s400/tinachow.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443302864865285538" border="0" /></a>The shop cat was very curious about what I was doing! I usually wear a lot of bright colors and patterns and with this outfit I was trying to focus more on the shape of things and the structure. So I used a simple palette of red, white, and black. I wore this with a structured tuxedo style jacket, black, with satin lapels.

Adorable but very uncomfortable.<br /><br />So anything in common? Nothing really across all three but some common threads seem to be: dresses, maryjane heels, red, and black tights.

This, in addition to my regular weekday job. I'm not complaining I just want to explain why I took time to play at work. I'm obviously not taking pictures of myself while I have customers in the store!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S4UrTJftTLI/AAAAAAAAA9U/lw-jJWFY6QY/s1600-h/shopgirl.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S4UrTJftTLI/AAAAAAAAA9U/lw-jJWFY6QY/s400/shopgirl.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441803332713532594" border="0" /></a>I love the reflection of everything in the glass case, the light bouncing off all those rhinestones!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S4UrTtR4WfI/AAAAAAAAA9c/9I_XHbiCOzY/s1600-h/shop2girl.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S4UrTtR4WfI/AAAAAAAAA9c/9I_XHbiCOzY/s400/shop2girl.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441803342319213042" border="0" /></a>I love this dress, vintage and bought where I stand of course. The belt isn't original to it, that one is missing. But this ties into the bit of red on the neckline and the little red buttons on the sleeve cuffs.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S4UrnUAkRiI/AAAAAAAAA90/NvPysLB6MjE/s1600-h/purplebluefloral.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 303px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S4UrnUAkRiI/AAAAAAAAA90/NvPysLB6MjE/s400/purplebluefloral.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441803679133091362" border="0" /></a>And then here's another mismatchy look. I'm sitting in this massive throne. If there's every a strikingly unusual chair in my pictures it's because they are made by a local artist, Greg Karkowski. I'm positive I'm spelling his last name wrong. I'm terrible at that.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S4Urnyx-sII/AAAAAAAAA98/QwUAygVytfI/s1600-h/purpleblue2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 359px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S4Urnyx-sII/AAAAAAAAA98/QwUAygVytfI/s400/purpleblue2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441803687393407106" border="0" /></a>I'm wearing a Kensie sundress over a stripe top and purple tights. This picture is kinda old. I'm moving away from the grunge, layered, Holly Hobby look. These pictures were all taken before I chopped my hair off.<br /><br />See you soon!Lacey Starrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10376004949624773305noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629943789180765077.post-39325097011020856102010-02-22T08:59:00.002-05:002010-02-22T09:13:33.240-05:00Style Inspiration: 70's career wear<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S4KN9Qw9u1I/AAAAAAAAA88/TgOcD3TLChg/s1600-h/70s2.jpg"><br /></a><br />A while back I found a vintage green and white suit comprised of a skirt and vest. At first I considered doing a Bonnie and Clyde take on it, in honor of one of my favorite bloggers at Sally Jane<a href="http://sallyjanevintage.blogspot.com/"> Vintage</a>. You probably already know her, but if not go read her blog right now. She has perfect style with pencil skirts and berets, and beautiful sunset hair.<br /><br />But in the end I decided to go with a more literal translation of the suit.<br /><br /><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 218px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S4KN978femI/AAAAAAAAA9E/LieF0AznsJI/s400/70s3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441067395019930210" border="0" />I always style the button up in a a similar way, librarian chic. The brown pattern on the top lends itself to wearing brown tights and my brown Holly Hobby style chunky maryjanes.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S4KN9Qw9u1I/AAAAAAAAA88/TgOcD3TLChg/s1600-h/70s2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S4KN9Qw9u1I/AAAAAAAAA88/TgOcD3TLChg/s400/70s2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441067383428856658" border="0" /></a>I took these pictures in the little vintage shop again. The owner is working on a website so hopefully soon I can share more of my little life with you.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S4KN-PZ51cI/AAAAAAAAA9M/GwqaRR0vFp8/s1600-h/IMG_3173.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lDrdMSZbdx0/S4KN-PZ51cI/AAAAAAAAA9M/GwqaRR0vFp8/s400/IMG_3173.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441067400243566018" border="0" /></a>I know I haven't been posting outfits as much but I think it's just not very fun for me. I don't photograph well and I really want to put more focus on other people in this blog. I still need to get my profiles of redhead together. And I'm also thinking of doing a henna dye to brighten my hair up. What do you think?Lacey Starrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10376004949624773305noreply@blogger.com0
