Shell Shocked!

Hello everyone! I am happy to introduce a new theme I have come up with for all my fellow fashionistas! I am influenced by my friends like Susan and Mimi, and they are Bohemian and Hippies. I learned a lot about nature from them and decided that it was time to show that influence. It is like a continuation of Flamingo Road but with sea creatures. These are very important to different cultures.

The first set came easy to me. This set is for a friend of mine, Ninjaru, who has finally joined us here! Welcome to the club! I made this sometime back but we were really busy with projects and my vacation with my romansive husband Frank! He makes me swoon. But this set is for her as I was inspired by my vacation to the ocean (for romansive shark dive dates!) and my favorite move The Little Mermaid! I chose the crab for her sea creature because that red shirt catches eyes and Sebastian was Ariel's friend. So, my friends, I am excited to show you her set:

Crabs are tough. They don't joke around in the ocean. Finding shells in the fashion ocean is serious business! You don't attract other crabs and fish with boring shells! You have to go out there and grab the fashion clam from the sand. Or if you are lucky, you will find the oyster with the flashiest and trendiest pearl around. Don't miss out on it!

But Ninjaru won't because the crab is her fashion icon for this set! She is a little Dita, a little Kelly Osbourne, and a whole lot of herself! She reminded me a lot of Sebastian too, and he went out there to get stuff done! The red outfit is definitely for the braver crabs. It means you will swim with the big fish and maybe sharks! The look on the left is for going to cafes and drinking seaweed smoothies. They are both Dita-inspired so you have to remember that you look good!

Here are some helpful tips when using the crab as your icon:
  1. Remeber to use the natural colors of crabs
  2. Accessorize with all the crab motifs you can find!
  3. Atmosphere is everything: you have to be brave like crabs and grab your oyster of fashion
  4. Use the right footwear!
Now for all you who feel that crabs speak to you, go out there and follow their lead!

Concert Night: NKOTB

Friends, I am catching up and posting so be prepared to see a lot of fashion!

Tonight I am excited to bring you the outfit for a friend's NKOTB concert. Exciting! NKOTB is a great group. J has fabulous taste in music and is nice to share with us. But she was not sure what to wear for her concert so I whipped up this set just for her!

When going to an NKOTB concert, you have to have serious style. You need to show off what you got! NKOTB concerts are all about looking good. Also, you have to know a person's style to capture a great look! My friend has various styles, but she always looks grabulous. She likes tight pants and hoodies, so I started with these and went from there! You can see how great it turned out:

When going to concerts, it is important to wear a band shirt if possible! This one can be worn many places and still look great. My friend has an original she got from a cousin! I am jealous! But the shirt looks grabulous with tight burgundy pants and hott shoes that capture people's attention. Boring is not a good look when hitting the concerts! Add in a few hott accessories, like punkette cuffs, diva sunglasses, and a bag that you won't mistake for someone else's! And it might be cold, so don't forget your trendy hoodie that will keep you warm AND looking stylish.

Remember, it's all about the music so dress like it! Get out there into the hunt of the concert scene and make your fashion mark. And remember, you can look stylish doing it too!
