Street Styling

Just visited LookBook and fell in love with the website and the members ^^. Here are my favorite streetstyle (each members are credited, so if you want to visit them, you're welcome). But, I'd like to be a member and I can't because I've got no invitation code. It means that I must have someone inviting me to be a member. Any of you are members? Can someone please invite me cherrycarolina@hotmail.com ??? I would appreciate. Oh and I just prepared my first outfit shoot! I'll post it tomorrow.

Mod Cloth: my fave picks

ModCloth began by selling only true vintage pieces and expanded to sell vintage-inspired pieces by various indie designers. What I like the most about them is that they have new arrivals everyday and have a great variety of styles. They also sell accessories, bags, belts, jewellery, books and appartment furnishing. All prices are in US but they ship to Canada!!! Here are my season's fave picks (image courtesy or ModCloth.com). Click on images for full sizes.

Waist Belt

How to make a plain or "ordinary" outfit look more stylish and glamorous? Add yourself a waist belt! Believe me, it's not a waste of money. Look in the "far far away" section of your closet (you know, the dresses, oversized shirts or tuniques you don't wear anymore) and give them a second life. People will ask you "is that a new shirt" and you'll be the only one to know the real answer. Shhh! It's our dirty little secret.

Colors you should take: auburn/cognac brown (this is THE color on Spring/Summer 2010), black, white, brown, beige or sand brown, gold or silver if you want to add a little more fantaisy or for the evening. And you MUST own a studded belt, if you like the rock/military look that we see EVERYWHERE this season (think Balmain, Balmain!).

If I was a rich girl

If I were a rich girl, I would buy a condo and transform it into a huge walk-in closet to store all the clothes of my dream. And I would have my own beauty salon with all the equipment and make-up I need to make me a pretty superstar. And I would share this wealth with my friends, who would be allowed to borrow me all the clothes and make-up they want...

No more dreaming. I'm not a rich girl (-not yet) so the only way to share with you, my friends, all this fashion and beauty knowledge I am accumulating through the years is to have a fashion blog. Because, believe it or not, in my friendly fashion crowd, I am Dr Couture. And I love to have those nights where I help them out with their hairdos and make-up (I secretly want to be a make-up artist, but shhhh don't tell anyone!).

Happy to be back in the blogosphere! Waiting for your comments and suggestions, little monsters (copyright to my fashion Queen, Lady Gaga).
