WVW: What V Wore

WVW: Leopard, Take 1*

July 31, 2010

I recently shot photos and video for a bag review over on In Their Closet. The fantastic haze in the first photo happened because it was the first shot I took after walking into 90-degree heat and humidity with a camera lens that was rather happy in the 69-degree chill of my house. It fogged. [...]

WVW: Cheap Sunglasses*

July 25, 2010

I’ve been hiding out lately, have you noticed? Been hiding from the world behind these fab new cheap sunnies. I haven’t been feeling myself; there’s drama in a galaxy near mine; two people in my life I am trying so hard to escape popped up again this week; and the heat and humidity in my [...]

WVW: City Beachy Ghetto Fab*

July 18, 2010

As I’ve mentioned before, I occasionally throw a bikini top in with my streetwear. Today, I’m a hybrid of beachy, ghetto fab on top, and city rocker on the bottom. Gold? Check. A full face of makeup? Check. Neon nails? Check. Total over-the-topness? Check. Consider this an early, blingtastic homage to Jersey Shore, Miami edition—minus [...]

WVW: Wedges and Lace*

July 7, 2010

While on vacay recently, my very limited Internet access allowed me a brief glimpse of a blog post that had me singularly obsessed with something I recently said I found to be too “juvenile” for my tastes. After I spotted this fab bloggerista sporting a very Nouvelle Vague shade with some decidedly grown-up (and epic) [...]

WVW: Safety Pins*

July 1, 2010

Today was a day for two oldies-but-goodies that inhabit my closet. The slim-cut pants have been hanging round for about 10 years. Maybe you’re thinking, but where are the safety pins? Ah, there they are! On oldie-but-goodie number two: my Dolce & Gabbana slingbacks. And no, I did not pin these myself. I actually bought [...]

WVW: Cutoffs and Gucci*

June 30, 2010

I’m a stalker. No, not that kind, silly. I’m a bonafide, certifiably obsessed style stalker, and what I’ve been stalking this summer is cutoffs. It’s taken me a while to find the right pair since I don’t have any denim I’d dare take scissors to. Who knew it would be harder to find the right [...]

WVW: Shredtastic*

June 28, 2010

Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a fashionista named V who counted champagne, stilettos, and trolling people.com amongst the pleasantries of life. One day she spotted a photo of Miley Cyrus in a shredded tunic and was besotted. She decided that she must have one too, and thus embarked [...]

WVW: Blue Blazes*

June 24, 2010

What does one wear when it’s hotter’n blue blazes outside? I say, fight fire with fire. For me, that means reverting to my summer uniform: the maxi dress. In a shade of blue that is uncharacteristically bright for a broad who thinks black is the new black. I’ve always liked this dress, but I never [...]

WVW: Corsetry*

June 20, 2010

I’ve had this corset for more than a decade. It’s not something I wear often, but when I do, I like to temper the lingerie connotation by pairing it with a long-sleeved silk blouse underneath, or a tank top and wide-leg trousers. This piece on its own is very suggestive, and I’d only wear it [...]
