OOTD: Jail Birds

Hello Lovely readers! I know you guys have seen this outfit already in my video post HERE but I had to show actual pictures of it. If you've seen the Kiss Me video by One Direction then you know why I am obsessed with this shirt and outfit for that matter. In the jail scene with all the boys they are wearing something similar with a black jacket on top. Soo this is pretty awesome!!! (since I bought the shirt before it even came out!) I decided to add some color with my belt and shoes to break up all the blackness in this outfit. Stripes are so classy and easy to style! I absolutely love it!

What I am Wearing:

Top: Forever 21

Bottom: Abbey Dawn

Shoes: Forever 21

Earrings: Macys

Belt: H&M

Lipstick: Twig

Inspiration Of The Day: Coco Chanel

No matter who you are you know the name Coco Chanel. 

Born Gabrielle Bonheur Chasnel (they misspelled her name in the registry) 

in Saumur France, August 19,1883.

She aquired the name "Coco" possibly because of the two popular songs she would sing, "Ko Ko Ri Ko" and "Qui qu'a vu Coco."She at first wanted to be on stage and become a singer but also worked as a seamtress for six years. After that she became Etienne Balsan's mistress and was showered with beautiful diamonds and the rich life. But soon began another affair with one of his friends, Capel who financed Chanel's first shops. This affair lasted nine years, though he was never faithful to her and even after marrying in 1918 he did not break off completely with Chanel. His death in a car accident, in late 1919, was the single most devastating event in Chanel's life. 

She at first began to make hats and then took the city by storm when she began to design clothes. Menswear inspired clothes that is, which in the 1900's it was outrageous! She completely changed the outlook on fashion and women apparel. She has inspired so many people around the world and was the only fashion designer to appear on Times Magazine list of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century!  Her style is iconic, her image is known everywhere. Her name will always live on. 

Coco Chanel

Quotes I love:

"The two men I’ve loved, I think, will remember me, on earth or in heaven, because men always remember a woman who caused them concern and uneasiness. "

"Women think of all colors except the absence of color. I have said that black has it 

all. White too. Their beauty is absolute. It is the perfect harmony."

"My life didn't please me, so I created my life."

“To achieve great things, we must first dream.”

I could have written a book about her but I will only give you this very short version of her influence. Especially on a young designer

Major Haul!

Hey everyone! So I was just able to add a few things to my wardrobe bringing in a new style to my closet! I'm soo happy I was able to get these little pieces to incorporate to my already existing wardrobe! I love experimenting with daring articles of clothing and I think these are small projects that can add a lot to the whole outfit!
  If you guys haven't noticed in the beginning of the year I was obsessed with greys, blacks and more greys. Lots of longsleeves and ripped jeans. I guess you can say it was a grungy, edgy look I was going for but now I'm growing into a different style. I'm loving the button up blouses, the feminine french inspired puff sleeves and designs. I also love the pop of color and the light flowy fabrics! Here are a few new buys!
