My Style: Winter Wonderland

Today's Look:  channels the childhood character Little Red Riding Hood with a modern twist.   Consisting of mountains covered in pine trees, northern Arizona becomes truly beautiful under a blanket of snow.  Yes, the temperature is freezing, but the scenery is breathtaking.  Inspired by the dark, snow covered woods, I first chose a flowing, long-sleeved maroon top, tan and black, aztec-design leggings, and black combat boots.  Next, I chose a black with white skulls and crowns scarf to add contrast, as well as edge (we all know the story of Little Red Riding Hood wasn't a bright and happy one).  Next, I chose the shearling coat for warmth and irony (normally shearling coats are made out of sheepskin, which pays tribute to the wolf in the story).  Finishing off the look, I wore dark lipstick for dramatic effect, dangling skull earrings to match the scarf, and two rings for good measure.

Fashion Tip:  Shearling coats are not only warm, but they're also trendy.  Great for making a winter outfit fashionable.

My Style: Little Black Dress

Today's Look:  is filled with sophistication and sprinkled with youth.  To start the look off, I chose the dress.  You could say it's vintage since it was passed down to me from my aunt.  When she gave it to me she told me it was an important dress.  It was her perfect LBD (little black dress) and held many magical memories.  I was thrilled to have been given it.  The dress is sleeveless with a heavy material that hangs nicely and sparkles like a starry night.  It's very pretty but a little long for my preference.  So, to update the modest dress and add a personal touch, I accessorized with a gray and silver belt at the waist to help shorten the dress, as well as add the glam factor.  Next, I chose the jacket.  I wanted something warm, fabulous, and longer length since it was a chilly, rainy day.  The black and grays in the animal print design went beautifully.  Since tights would have been somewhat conservative, I opted for sheer thigh-highs and platform boots to add some edge.  Finishing off the look, I wore silver hoop earrings, two silver rings, and a metallic clutch, all bedazzled obviously.  ;)
