Gaga Kitty

When browsing through my daily websites I came across pictures of a Lady Gaga x Hello Kitty collaboration, two of my fashion favorites! The photos were taken for Hello Kitty's 35th birthday and are going to be used in a limited edition re-issue of Lady Gaga's first album The Fame (which will also include a lock of her hair and 3-D glasses to view other photos)! Throughout the shoot, Gaga keeps her eyes closed the entire time to show eye makeup on her lids that make her appear to have what I call "Sailor Moon eyes" or Manga-style eyes. Photographers Markus Klinko and Indrani were the masterminds behind the shoot below:

Walk Like an Egyptian

Since I was a kid, I've always been fascinated with things about Egypt. From all the archaeology and artifacts to the Mummy movies with Brendan Frasier. The hieroglyphics, jewelry and coffins always show an extreme attention to detail and are ALWAYS visually pleasing. Egyptian influences are sloooowly making a comeback in fashion and I'm feeling pretty inspired by the mosaic techniques and symbolism used throughout ancient Egyptian culture. Expect to see some Egypt inspired fashion from me!

Stay tuned...

Gettin' Around Town!

Lately, in many a recent fashion publication, I have seen some adorable Miu Miu dresses that I haven't been able to locate in any of their fashion shows. In any case this collection (which ever it came from) seems very Easter inspired with pastel colors and applique flowers and tons of loveliness!

About That Time Again!

Today marks the last day of my one week break between Summer and Fall quarter. So in celebration I've decided to post a little something. Actually, I just feel like I should post something since I had a whole week to do so and I didn't.

My friend Jake (who styled my hair and did my makeup in this post) made me watch Lady Gaga's music video for her song Paparazzi. And if you know me, then you already know you pretty much have to tie me down in order to get me to watch videos on You Tube, partially because of the über obnoxious loading time.

Anyway, the video FINALLY loaded on my super slow internet connection and it was amazing! I like Lady Gaga anyway but the story line was compelling as well. Towards the end of the video, she is wearing a very interesting outfit I recognized as being a Jeremy Scott dress. After digging even deeper into the depths of the internet, on his website I found that he did a whole collection inspired by Mickey Mouse.

Above (starting from the top image and going clockwise):

She & She

While researching for my post on Anna Sui's line for Target, I made my way over to Erin Fetherston's website. On the home page there's a slideshow of a photoshoot for her Fall/ Winter line. As I looked through the pictures one girl in particular looked familiar. I finally realized that the girl was Zooey Deschanel, an actress and singer (for the band She & Him). Here are the photos for your viewing pleasure!
