Herve Leger Revival: The Color-blocked Dress

Color-blocking isn't exactly in season right now but here are some pics of my mom in last seasons runway dress.

Isn't my mom a great model or what?

I loved how the shots turned out this time around.

Styling & Set: Me

Model: My Mom

Done for a photography project for Fall 2009

Shoes Galore: Mules + Platform Pumps

Shoes are something I love to collect. They are like pieces of art! Hoard... 

This spring/summer, I call for Orange Mules + sky high Hidden-Platform Pumps. As said earlier in my Blog about the Tomita Pump, I finally recieved them! (IN BOTH COLORS)!
(I ended up ordering both colors of the same shoe)
Blasphemy . . .


Here are the Pics:
Aren't they gorgeous? Orgasmic. Shoe Heaven. I think I can finally RIP.

Last weekend I forced my mom to get these 2 great shoes by Elizabeth and James.

A brand by the Olsen Twins, it's their lower-end/cheaper brand but still Designer and is supposed to be more affordable to the genral public. "Narrowing the gap between Designer and Contemporary", prices are usually $300+ which isn't exactly wallet friendly but their unique footwear just makes me fashiontastic-orgasmic! Beautiful chic shoes and literally... TO DIE FOR! (omg I love these shoes so much you don't even know).

Elizabeth & James - Maryl

RUNWAY LOOKS . . . Yum

ZAC POSEN for Target Review - 3 Looks 1 Dress, Quality Control

Stayed up till 12 just to order the new Zac Posen for Target looks!

I was stoked because I love designer collaborations and being able to own a piece from this colletion would basically be a once in a lifetime thing/exclusive!

I loved the ruched miniskirt and yellow raincoat but none of the items looked nice enough to keep. (The raincoat looked like a fireman's jacket). If i had to recommend 1 piece to keep out of all the items, I would recommend getting the ruched skirt because it is the most versatile and easily transitional and wearable piece in the whole collection. From work to play this would be the ideal item to buy and it is one of the few items that haven't been sold out yet! (I just wish it would fit right).

Now the Dresses were a whole other story. To me, it was a hot mess. Big no for the organza "3 Look" Dress.

Heres a tip:

If you really want a certain item that is sold out online, make sure to call your nearest target and ask them if they have it! The search option for locating an item closest to you doesnt work very well and isn't exactly accurate and updated as I had checked the site for a certain dress and it said it was sold out but most sizes of the dress were still at my local target location!

Summed Up:

Didn't keep any items because either the fit wasn't right or we just didn't need it.

Links to Buy:
Ruched Miniskirt

Update: The Tuxedo Skirt is in stock and I love it! Thick material; a pleated skirt. Get this while it's still in stock.

Orange-Rouge Lips & Hardcore Pumps

I spy a bright Lip!
Prada - Bright orange-red lips.
BCBG - Bright orange-red lips.
Mom  - Bright orange-red lips.

This is a must do for the season!
It's fresh and personally one of the best shades of "orange-red" I've ever seen on lips!
For all you ladies out there, i suggest the new orange shade from SHISEIDO.

OR418 - Day Lily

For those BOLD girls out there with already pinkish pigmented lips, this will give you a nice "orange-red" straight off the runway look! So go out into the world and strut your stuff with this fresh-fun and bright lip!

---------------------------------------------

I have also been lusting over these Beautiful Platform Pumps for the past couple of months and finally got my mom to buy them (IN BOTH COLORS)!
For the feint of heart? NO
Balenciaga-esque? Giambattista Valli-esque?
Maybe...

Aldo - Tomita - Grey, Black - $135
-------------------------------------------
Sadly they're sold out!
(And I'm definately NOT going to sell my pair to you)

If you really want this shoe, talk to your local Aldo or Aldo Outlet as they might be able to find the color and size you want at a different location and they will ship it to you for free! (In the U.S and Canada).

They also have free return shipping and if you're not close to an Aldo store then click on the Picture above so you can keep checking on it daily (They were sold out and after 2 Months and a pair showed up online on Sunday and I bought them [perfect size])
