Mr. Mojo Risin'

The song L.A Woman by The Doors inspired this look. I am an absolute HUGE fan of The Doors and secretly in love with Jim Morrison (now not a secret), and that's why I have to say this was probably the most challenging look to pull off, because there are various directions to go. I could of just thrown on whatever I saw and it didn't even have to make sense, because my excuse would have been. In the song this L.A woman doesn't need to match due to her wild character. But that would have been so cheesy and sort of lazy, so I decided to do my interpreted L.A woman with a bit of today's fashion. This song and look deserves a full explanation. 

Let's start with the jacket and bag. I love contrast, and I think it was appropriate to incorporate it because Jim Morrison sings, "Are you a lucky little lady in The City of Light, or just another lost angel ... City of Night." The Theory little green jacket represents the lady in the light, while the 3.1 Philip Lim burgundy bag represents the lost angel at night. 

I went for ripped jeans because this woman is torn (no pun intended) emotional. Her mood changes from glad to sadness and her world seems upside down, due to the fact some say her lover does not actually love her, but he claims they are lying. What to believe? 

I picked gold and pearls as accessories because gold and pearls generally symbolize classiness and respect. As you can see why I chose these dramatic over pearled sunglasses, to show that she is trying too hard to earn respect and be viewed as a classy woman. But, that is just a facade. She is hiding behind those incredibly cute Kerin Rose sunglasses.  

And while this roller coaster of a life is in motion, she manages to look fabulous and some what put together. That's the magic of women.

Current Obsession #4: A Swedish Love Story & Shyness

I randomly came in contact with this movie, A Swedish Love Story (1970), by a song. 

The song Shyness by Thieves Like Us. I looked up the song and this video came up,

 with scenes from a movie. I was curious, "What movie is this from?" Thanks to 

a youtube comment I looked up the movie, saw it, and loved it! It's all in 

Swedish so subtitles are a definite, if you are interested. The movie is 

adorable and subtle. It is VERY different from the movies we are

 used to, so I suggest a patient movie-watcher can handle this. 

It's not  showy or wild. Just beautiful. Now the song 

Shyness, I can't stop listening to it (for example 

the song is playing right now as I'm typing 

this). Check out the video if you are  

interested in watching the movie,

 think of it as an "unofficial trailer."

A New Year: The Beginning

New years eve (my favorite day) is approaching and you know what that means: drinking, revealing confessions, wedding proposals, the ball drop, and more drinking. What's wrong with that? Absolutely nothing. It's the last day of the year. The last day to make a statement and standout. And who's better at standing out, well of course Alexander McQueen that's who! You can not go wrong choosing a McQueen dress. It's classy, sexy and ambitious all at the same time. All eyes will definitely be on you. Of course I love fur, so that lamb jacket is stunning against the dress. I chose this particular dress because the song Crave You by Flight Facilities inspired me. It's an upbeat song and all I can imagine is gold and black, maybe because she mentions "dripping in gold" a couple of times. Overall I love this song, Alexander McQueen. and red lipstick.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and New Years. See ya next year lovelies!
