  • The wonderful folks from Vegas.com picked up on my style blog and wondered if I would be able to share a look that would fit the occasion for a swanky place like Rose. Rabbit. Lie. at The Cosmopolitan Las Vegas. Now, with a little free time on my hand, I finally got to tinkering and place out, not one, but two looks. It's basically 20s inspired looks that would be appropriate for a place like Rose. Rabbit. Lie. and I immediately thought of my friend Sabrina - 20s fashion happens to be her favourite. I hope I do it justice with my version of a 20s inspired look.
    There's plenty of inspirations to go by, like the recent magnificent costume job on The Great Gatsby, but I tried to steer slightly off track for obvious reasons. Look 1 is more on the elegant side, blurring the lines between conservative sophistication and seductive sensuality. Look 2 has more of the wild fun and youth vibe. Finally, a shout out to Jennifer who actually chose my blog in the first place. Thank you!

    She was special to me for many reasons, but mainly for one. For what, I cannot disclose. Go ahead and guess. Take a shot at it and I'm sure you'll hit the spot. She wasn't your stereotypical Persian girl. Not too fancy, picky, or high maintenance and somewhat arrogant. However, she was confident and fierce, never backed down from anything. I loved that about her, even more her beautiful mother. She treated me like her own son. Never passed a chance to compliment me and compare me to her daughter's past failures. And the banter in Farsi the two would exchange made my heart melt. Not to mention the wonderful cooks these two were. As passionate as we were towards each other, we'd constantly butt heads. One too many arguments drifted us apart. Naturally, it ate our relationship inside-out. We ended it on mutual terms, so I'd like to think. But we remained in contact for a while, displaying our mutual respect. She became that one ex who claimed certain privileges, which didn't settle in too well with my future significant others. For obvious reasons for course. This, of course, gave way to many "drama for ya mama" episodes. But there's a slight twist to this look. It's not based on her, it's inspired by her mother.
    I admired her mother for the woman she was. A single mother who was genuinely satisfied with life, she was the perfect example of a strong independent woman. Not only was this woman gorgeous, she was incredibly stylish. In her younger years, she was a complete knockout. I always enjoyed browsing through old photo albums. There were particular shots she had taken in Paris. Jaw dropper. This Iranian beauty took pride in her look and made it look effortless. Such grace, left me in awe. These two made my senior year in high school quite entertaining. I wish I could sit with her again one day just to listen to her life stories. I hope she's well. I believe this deserves two looks.

    My friend Sabrina has been addicted to these style challenge videos on YouTube, presented by Glamour magazine, called Dressed to Kill. The videos are of two stylists competing against each other to see who produces the best look. Easy enough right? Well, they are also given an occasion and a single item they must have in their outfit. This is where the challenge comes in.
    Naturally, Sabrina - Athena aka my Jessica Pearson - asked me to throw in my look so that we can compare each other's outfit. Different individuals, different style. So I said why the hell not, sounds fun. Let's give it a go. All I have to say is, boy better bring his A-game.
    Occasion: First date.
    Must have item: A gold skinny belt.

    Today's look is inspired by Netherlands. The Dutch seem to me as the most likely to win the title; they look the more convincing nation out of the four in the semi-finals. I must add, those Dutch supporters are gorgeous.
