  • A butterfly gracefully flowing through the concrete chaos. Funny thing, this outfit wasn't inspired by a certain look or beautiful woman. It's inspired by an actual butterfly. I was on my way to work, dealing with the usual noise pollution, alongside all the other toxic junk we inhale in the city. And in an instant, I saw a beautiful butterfly fly in front of me, swerving through traffic. There's something about watching a butterfly in flight, time seems to pause for a second; you tend to fall back and take a breath. Beauty and grace.

    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!

    This particular young lady was the biggest pain in the ass, which turned out to be one hell of a roller coaster ride. She had a terrible habit of lying and deceiving, yet constantly kept the fun alive. She's one of those boy-crazy, "all about me" gals. However I must say, I had the most mischievous accounts of my life with this ex. She was a horrible addiction that I am glad to be rid of. Well, somewhat. It doesn't help to know that I bonded quite well with the rest of her family.
    I can get into all kinds of details, but that's reserved for my journal. Let's just say there's plenty of action from both parties that aren't something to be proud of. Mainly hers. No reason to villainize her now, she's grown out of it I would like to think. Through her many transformations, I always have that image of her from the first time we met. And as ridiculous as it sounds, we've become good friends over the years, regardless the countless headaches.

    I'm sticking with yesterday's post on that challenge theme. Not really into competition unless it has something to do with sports but this is just, well, fun. Today's occasion is getting ready for a flight, with a must-have item being a chambray shirt. Keeping a few things in mind, you'll be on a plane so the look has to be comfortable. This look was also a bit inspired by the character Lena, played by Katherine Moening, on the show Ray Donovan. I love her wardrobe on that show.

    This one was sparked by a recent Instagram photo of one of my muses. She wore a flannel shirt, in what she says, after a very long time and asked if she looked good in it. My response? Well, duh, she looks good in anything. I've known this beautiful woman for a decade now, and she hasn't aged a damn bit! Blessed I would say. Whenever I think up look that would suit her, it's usually elegant - a very vintage Hollywood look. This time around, I felt I should tap into her bad ass side. You know, boots to asses, while looking pretty. Love you, gorgeous.
