Alice in Fashionland

I'm hopping on the Alice in Wonderland craze bandwagon here. I couldn't help it though, the photographs for Alice in Wonderland-inspired editorials are just so stunning. I love not only the fashion, but the whimsical backgrounds. To start us off, here's the lovely Beyonce in a Disney ad:


-And, of course, the Annie Leibovitz pictures featured in Vogue. Here are some of my favorites. I found these first on http://chicsheek.blogspot.com/. Leibovitz is just amazing, don't you agree? I'm thinking of making a post about her soon.



-Hot Topic has some cool Alice stuff. I ordered the Chechire cat clips a few seconds ago...


-Last but not least, a few pics I found from a Spanish magazine called Ragazza. Fun, right?

Hope you enjoyed that.

Steampunk Jewelry

I'm in love with the jewelry on this site. I've decided to stop shopping for a while (I'm learning to be fiscally responsible, yay?) so I can't buy anything, but man I do like looking. Especially the typewriter key items. Enjoy and Happy Thursday!

New Shoes

I got these from Go Jane, they're fabulous! I feel like a badass in these.

Mail from Australia

Well, Ladies and Gentlemen, it's no surprise that I have once again been online shopping. I found this clothing site through Polyvore called Monster Threads. There was this pullover sweater I really wanted and the fact that the store is based in Australia didn't stop me. So last week I received a sweater from Australia- isn't that exciting? It's also proof of my unstoppable shopping addiction. I can't wait to do an outfit post with it soon! It's so cute and comfy.

And while we're on the shopping subject, I bought a few goodies from ModCloth a while ago that I can't wait to receive. To justify these recent purchases, I must tell you that I haven't been able to go out and shop for a while, plus I've been saving my paychecks for the past month.

Earrings: Target
Top: Forever 21
Tank Top: Mango
Sweatshirt: Monster Threads

"Fashion is what you adopt when you don't know who you are."
-Quentin Crisp

First of all- where can I find this shirt and how do I get money to buy it??? It's beautiful AND sexy as hell- a winning combination.

Secondly- I think this quote is very true to me right now. I've always been very unsure of my life and I go through all these phases that are constantly changing. But I think that's why I have such a love for fashion. There's always something that sparks my interest in fashion, no matter what phase I'm in, you know?

Genny Goes Brown, and Succumbs Once Again to the Temptation That is ModCloth

Went brunette this weekend. Bought new jewelry off of modcloth. Enjoy.

Aquatic Pals Earrings

On my nails I'm wearing OPI "Lincoln Park After Dark". I hate sports so I gotta show off my Chicago pride somehow.

A Day of Hearts

I had a lovely Valentines day. I slept in, got a few Valentines from friends, decorated my floor with hearts, made some cookies, spent time with the Twinkle Toes, and watched the movie Valentine's Day. Since it's a Sunday, I even fit in some homework, haha. All of my activities are pictured above. Don't the hearts hanging form the ceiling lights look cool? I got kind of artsy with the Hershey's kisses photo, too.

I normally don't wear makeup, but since today's a special day, I got to FINALLY try out my What's My Virtue lip gloss and dress up a bit:

Lip Gloss: What's Your Virtue?
Necklace: gift from sister
Dress: store in Singapore
Button Up: Target
Belt: Mango
Bag: old, old Christmas gift
Tights: Forever 21
Socks: high school uniform

LAST NOTE: You've got to check out Healthy and Homemade. This isn't just a fashion blog, it's all about good food and recipes too! I just found her blog and she's having her first giveaway!!! It's for a pair of tights from We Love Colors.

Despite the Snow

I had an induction ceremony to go to last Sunday. The attire was business casual, so of course I saw this as an excuse to wear a cute dress despite the freezing cold, haha. I froze just a little bit on the way there, and I was convinced that my heels would be the death of my in that snow, but it's okay. I survived. There were these chocolate dipped strawberries that I didn't stop eating, and some mini baked potato appetizers. Don't you just love mini food? All the flavor's there in one bite!

Jacket: Felia's Basement
Necklace: a boutique in Belmont
Dress: Mango
Tights: American Eagle
Purse: grandmother's
Shoes: Zara

You can't really see my accessories well since there were taken on Photobooth, haha. I'm so professional. Here you go:

The dress is actually my sister's. See how good she looks in it?! Photo complement of my grandmother:
