Attack From Behind: Water

2011-05-13T19:46:00.000-07:00

Hi, this is Katie writing. We haven't posted in quite some time and I found these pictures from over a year ago (our bad) that were taken after a school sponsored art festival. I, myself, wasn't present, but I do think they turned out rather well. It feels very dramatic to have the ocean surging in the background whist one is standing nonchalantly, dressed in all black. But that's just me.
Enjoy.

Hi

2011-01-19T18:29:00.000-08:00

I decided to post on here, as it has been neglected for a little while. There will be two mini photo shoots coming up soon. One is going to be with my friend Damian, who is not a member of this blog, but is fun nonetheless. The other will be with Renata, Gabriel, and me, and that should be on Monday, but there aren't going to be any shots of all three of us, as Paula is out of town this weekend and there would be no other person to take the picture. So that wouldn't work.
That friend I was talking about, Damian, took this picture of me for lookbook, but I figured I might as well put it on here, even if I look weird and posted a different one form the same shoot on the site. . .

The final of those three outfits I was telling you about

2010-11-26T13:03:00.000-08:00

In this outfit, I am wearing a lace shirt from Salvation Army, a pink ruffled skirt for Target, lace tights, also from Target, a green sweater that belongs to my sister, and floral Doctor Martens.

Hi, again

2010-11-25T15:40:00.000-08:00

So, the day I put up the picture for our previous post, my well-dressing friends (most of which are on this blog) and I were at my house and they decided to make me wear things, so I'll post one of the outfits today and the other tomorrow. I'm going to force them to partake in the cool photo shoot idea, and we will attempt to get back to regular posting.

(I was told to do something interesting, don't mock me)
I'm wearing a floral dress from Urban Outfitters, a blue dress (open, worn as a vest) from Forever 21, ambiguous white tights, shoes my mother gave me, and a scarf from our store (see the sidebar).

I apologize for our absense

2010-11-23T17:46:00.001-08:00

Yeah, we just suck and have been completely ignoring this blog. I don't really feel like writing a lot at this moment, so I'm just going to post this picture of my outfit that was taken in my room.
We are planning a really amazing photo shoot, which we will try to get up as soon as possible.

Don't you love that at every stage of your life you classify it as "busy" but as you get older you begin to wish you were in that earlier stage. Okay this is Katie looking all angry in her inapropriate dress for our weather

Hola

2010-07-21T13:28:00.001-07:00

Hi. This is Katie writing. As it is summer vacation, Renata and Gabriel are gone and I actually have to write something. These pictures we took a long time ago, specifically in March. They were never posted because they were taken on my crappy point-and-shoot camara, but, with the lack of things posted here of late, I figured the time was desperate enough to post the bad pictures. Sorry for the random order of photos. I am technologically retarded and I couldn't figure out how to change the order.

I don't know where Gabriel gets his clothes, assume something is from Salvation Army and something is form American Apparel. His mouse was purchased from Pet Supermarket. I think those are his ugly shoes from Payless.
My dress is from Urban Outfitters, my sweater, New York and Company, my tights, Target.

Edgy is going right to edge of the cliff while looking all the way down and dancing anyways!

2010-06-21T22:32:00.000-07:00

The blog neglect is completely without excuses. It's kind of strange that we were posting so regularly in the midst of AP craziness and cease when it all ends. Regardless, the summer months are long and largely uneventful so we'll probably be posting a lot. I just realizes that we've neglected a lot of major events in fashion (fashion week, mcqueen dieing, etc.). We'll get to that eventually, I am confident of that. Here's a majorly weather inappropiate post of Katie and I looking like wierd desert nomads. There's a lot of pictures of me looking stupidly angsty in the middle because Katie decided to squint excessively in most of her pictures, but I'm sure you'll all live with it.
Oh, I didn't injure myself or anything. The arm brace was Katie's and I thought it was vaguely Rodarte f/w 09 with all the straps. Forgive us if it looks stupid.

we're wearing way too many layers to try and bother with classifcations. Try not to cry in agony

Photoshoot

2010-05-02T16:56:00.000-07:00

As you might know, we did a photoshoot a while back where we used a giant egg which we made. We later thought it would be a nice compliment to make a giant bird nest. We made this bird nest but, my mom threw it away so we had to make another one which hindered our ability to get around doing this photshoot.
It was a lot of fun to do this and we sort of brought our entire closets over to Katie's house and dumped it in her room and played around with some outfit.
Everything knit is coming from the etsy store(the collars and shoulder pieces aren't up yet) and so are the white hair clips.
There's quite a lot of them, but they're hopefully aesthetically pleasing enough to keep you interested.
I'm too lazy to write out what we're wearing because everything has too many layers and there's just too much clothes. Assume everything store bought is H&M, target or forever21. Anything else is thrifted or DIYd.
I find it amusing that we did this in a very public area. The passerbys were very confused.

Etsy!

2010-04-16T17:56:00.000-07:00

This was said in the last post but, i will talk about it in more detail here.
We get bored easily so one day we bought yarn to expirement with which turned into us making these really long rope things that we would wrap around like scarves or harnesses. We then had the idea that these could be sold on etsy and we then started making these collar things out of the yarn so we then decided to actually make a store. Yay!
Here we have some pictures we were going to use for the store to advertise the products(hence the less ornate outfits)that for some reason never made it on there and Paula won't disclose the information.

Link: http://www.etsy.com/shop/intreegue
We will be adding more pictures and the collars on here as the week progresses so these aren't the finalized products

All the scarves are between 10 and 12 feet long. The pictures on the store show them more as neckalaces since it is spring and it seems more seasonally appropiate but they can be wrapped tighter to be more scarf like. They are all $15 and we're trying to figure out how to make it so that you can get two for $25.

And here we have some pictures we took in the woods(more like the Everglades). We were slightly horrified when doing these since the chances of getting attacked by some predatory animal were rather high.

Katie's wearing grey tights from target, a skirt from target, a white t-shirt and two scarves from the store

I'm wearing a scarf from american apparel, a thrifted vest, thrifted shorts, american apparel sheer shirt, and some irrelevant cardigan from mysterious origins

Dramatic posing

2010-04-10T16:51:00.000-07:00

Hello children. Lately we've been excessively cohesive without trying to so expect a deluge of outfit posts this week. We've been in the midst of developing a huge project these few months that was officially finalized today, the formal unveiling on the blog will be tomorrow. Is my tension building appreciated?

here's an amalgamation of obnoxious and normal pictures of our outfits.

what we're all wearing:

katie: thrifted vest and shirt, target skirt, target socks that were tights but she's 6 feet tall and those would never actually be the appropiate length, payless shoes(she's wearing heels to be obnoxious) and self made collar

Renata: Target dress, thrifted lace dress underneath, forever 21 belt, payless shoes, bowtie as bow

Me: upside down jacket that has been highly contorted, thrifted vest, socks of mysterious origin, payless shoes, thrifted mesh shirt, thrifted shorts

I'll do some more extensive coverage tomorrow, but we're all itching to post it. The collars(like katie's here, these knit shoulder pads and the pleated one i wore two posts down)will be added tomorrow.

We knit everything and this is basically a product of extreme boredom over winter break and it blossomed into an etsy store!

Technology hates us

2010-03-31T15:21:00.001-07:00

So, there wasn't a two month hiatus here or anything...
We had some issue and we kept getting comments in huge amounts in some asian language which had links to sex shops and porn sites and then they started to appear as posts in our draft area. Yeah, inconvenient, but it's all fixed now so homeostasis will return.
Nothing horribly exciting that you won't find out within this week happened in our lives other than school so here's some pictures we took last a few days ago next to the highway(interesting excursion...)

Katie is wearing a jacket from target, thrifted shorts and a shirt of mysterious origin and I'm wearing a self made collar contraption, american apparel cardigan, thrifted shorts and vest and pants from some place that sells pants.

Couture

2010-02-08T21:39:00.000-08:00

Couture in general was kind of dissapointing this season but some collections were good, and some were disasters.

Dior

This collection was just bad. The color scheme is derivative of a prom dress catalogue and those gowns were all just so heavy, they felt like a chonga quinces or something. The purple skirt on Vlada is nice and some of the equestrian stuff will probably work in editorials. Overall, i feel like John Galliano's been using the same inspirations for too long and the same setting and same tranny make up. It made for a very boring, uninspired and not particularly aesthetically pleasing collection. It all feels like costumes.

John Paul Gautier

I loved this collection. The weaving techniques are beautifula and the colors are vibrant. I love the styling and the inspiration(mexico) was interpreted so nicely. It's rather literal but it feels young and fresh. This really felt like couture, it was theatrical and a fantasy. It does kind of feel like the same old Gautier collection but he's such a master with couture that it's not a problem. The palm tree leave effects are amazing and i'm curious as to what the material is.

Valentino

Complete disaster. I never liked valentino when it was all about "elegant, refined clothes for the confident women" or whatever with all the red and such, but it was always done well. This feels like a mixture of rodarte, balenciaga, and versace as seen by lindsay lohan and executed with cheap looking fabrics. This doesn't look like couture in the slightest, much less valentino. It was incredibly tacky and amateur.

Givenchy was good but nowhere near as good as lat season. The feather work is beautiful and the colors are perfect, especially that dress on natalia. I loved the jumpsuits despite my vitriolic hatred of jumpsuits. I hated the styling.

Chanel

Chanel might have been my favorite this season. The color pallete was like a crazy space easter egg with all the saccharine pastels and silver lurex and i loved the styling. The collection was futuristic, feminine and perfectly chanel without looking the slightest bit costumey. The techniques employed throughout are perfect and i love the seamless dresses, especially the yellow shift. The jackets and coats were cute perfectly and all the proportions are so elegant. Karl Lagerfeld might not necessarily be my favorite designer but he does know how to carry out Chanel in an innovative light. Everything had so much detail and at first glance, it all seems simple. It's the perfect example of practical couture.

buttons

2010-01-31T09:58:00.000-08:00

So couture was pretty much awful and i might review the collections later on in the week since i'm in a rush now (salvation army outing). Chanel was nice even if there was those wierd cullote suits and dior looked like a tranny quinces and valentino was a travesty that i do not want to discuss, and i never even liked the "refined, elegant woman" valentino.
I will definitley review rick owens and cdg menswear since they were actually good. Especially rick, i definitley need to crocodile and fur in my life (i'm being a bad vegetarian).
Anyways, salvation army last week brought some lovely things into my life. The jacket i'm wearing here is particularly eventful and has all kinds of button options. I'm ejoying the ann demeulemeester f/w 09 vibe coming from it but the sleeves kind of scare me. I think i'll just make it a vest or something. I also got a very exciting striped vest that has become a vest with tails which will make its appearance on the blog soon as well as this dress with pleats that now is a vest thing with tails.

outfit!

d-tailz(i'm sorry, i couldn't resist the temptation)

I'm wearing black pants from somewhere that sells clothes, black patent leather cr. martens, black sweater from cos, black mesh t-shirt from american apparel, white t-shirt whose wherabouts are inconsequential, thirfted jacket, black cardigan that i buttoned amongst the jacket

This weather has seriously been an impediment on our outfits. Lately, it has been warming up and the iguanas are no longer in comas on the grass. Here's what we wore on Friday. We have a very exciting project that has been actualized that you shall all know about at some point this week...

Renata

wearing a thrifted bouse, H&M pencil skirt , ameoba tights I got for my birthday.

Gabriel

I'm wearing black pants from american apparel(i think), black jacket(with cape) from zara, black drapey jacket from elsewhere(i don't remember), black patent leather doc martens, fringe scarf from h&m

pants do not fit me...

Side view!
I love these shoes and will never take them off! I also have since recieved a haircut and it looks less overgrown...

paula

Paula's wearing Thrifted blazer, F21 shorts, blingasuarous, and patent leather oxfords
(renata writing)I feel as if I shouldn't like these but I do. I tried them on while at Payless and am still contemplating whether or not to buy them.
they're on sale for $5

2010-01-13T16:30:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone! I hope everyone is having a lovely day. Well I'd like to comment on this weather we've been having. Living in Florida no one is really used to this so the second it got cold we were all "dear me, now what" And some people claim the sole cause is the tipping of the Earth's axis, but I have a feeling it also has something to do with global warming. Okay sooo before I start ranting, here is what we wore.
I wore a thrifted blazer, thermal tights from target, Payless shoes, pencil skirt from H&M, and Clouche from UO

Katie wore that perfect dress from the Rodarte for Target collection, Target leggings, thrifted cardigan, and a scarf she received as a gift.

New Year = New Beginnings

2010-01-03T18:21:00.000-08:00

Happy holidays everyone!
Well I think I should begin with an explanation of our three month hiatus...
(lists make me feel productive and proffesional)
a) Paula's camera had some sort of meltdown and a new one wasn't accquired until last week but none of us were really here so today was our first opportunity for posting
b) School went insane and decided that it's ok to assign a research paper, double book report(that makes me think of elementary school0, millions of essays, and the french revolution all within the same month
It was pretty unfortunate that this happened because we actually had a large amount of pictures to post that we never got around to. We do however have a rather exciting photoshoot planned which should be up within this month and we have another interesting plan pertaining to the blog which should be cemented sometime in the next two weeks. Renata also got a camera so this allows for more regular outfit posts since we kind of had to wait 'till the weekends to do outfit posts before...

This is what we wore today(first time that it's been below 50 degrees all winter!)
Renata was wearing a hat from urban outfitters, a shirt that her aunt made, an h&m coat, h&m skirt, thrifted white mesh pants and some shoes that randomly showed up in her closet(this happens often)

Why my hair looks this awful is an enigma to me...

cdg a/w 09 anyone?

I was wearing a thrifted blazer that for some reson appears to have major shoulder pads in this picture but it really doesn't have any, two scarves that i knitted that have been intertwined, a poncho that i draped from forever21(it was really scary when i saw them, but they were $6 and some cdg a/w 09 could have come from them)black pants from zara, DIYed arm warmers(if that really sufficed as a DIY) and gloves from hot topic

Excuse our absences

2009-11-15T14:21:00.000-08:00

Hello, now I know what you are thinking these children with their excuses. And honestly we have no reason to excuse being bad bloggers for the last few weeks besides laziness.

Now, before I start ranting, to the point! pushitmagazine. has recently become an internationally published magazine! They have stunning editorials and are one of those artsy magazines the world needs. Here is a taste:

We decided to have a quick outfit post... enjoy

P.S. excuse my lack of coherency

Fashion week!

2009-10-04T18:24:00.000-07:00

Well, fashion week again! I'm not sure about how i feel about the collections this season, so few were actually good so i'll only write about those but Margiela almost made me cry. It wasn't even cheeky in the margiela usually is, it was just kind of unrefined a hipstery, i'm really hoping Martin Margiela is no longer designing for the label. Yohji Yamamoto was also incredibly disspainting. I just feel like he wanted to make money so he threw in some classic yohji stuff and some commercial stuff and added holes in it just to keep the deconstruction aspect. I'm mentioning Balmain only because this was truley hideous and not even worth showing at fashion week. The clothes lack substance entirely.

Rodarte

The Mulleavy girls present another collection filled with wonderful textures. They continue to refine their collaging technique and this time it returns more deconstructed than ever with plaids and florals thrown into the mix. I love that they have a signature that they use and they are choosing to really refine, this time is their best attempt. The way the have used deconstruction and married all different textiles together creature this amazing menagerie of textures that i would love to see in person. I really don't understand the negative criticism for these girls when people are fawning over Decarnin's shows.

Marc Jacobs

I have mixed feelings about this show, I'll start with it's positive qualities. I liked the color palette, especially after last seasons 80s thing. I think the pants look interesting and the proportions are okay. What i don't like is how Comme des Garcons it is. It's not even like it's Comme des Garcons for any good reasons, Marc just showed ruffles and paired them awkwardly. A CdG show goes beyond ruffles and awkwards proportions, Marc's influences are nowhere near similar and this totally lacks the whit that's always present in Rei's collections, and its just too pretty/feminine. Basically its okay and is too CdG for bad reasons.

London isn't really worth writing about. Luella was eons better than last season but it just lacked the cheek and over the top aspect that characterizes her work. In Milan, Jil Sander left me confused, it was a bit too rustic for me to like it but the frayed edges were nice

Gareth Pugh

Another mixed feelings show, once again i'll start off with what i liked. The pants where cool and i see them selling well and being integrated into peoples wardrobes with great ease. I also liked his venture into this more romantic side of the label and the the construction and materials of the garments are bettwer than ever. I also liked the headpieces, even if they were a bit too Mcqueen for Gareth's own good. Once more, the collection felt too Rick Owens with the cuts of some the coats and the ideas were just not there. While i have never considered Gareth the go to designer for intellectual fashion, he generally has some kind of concept behind his clothes that give them some extra punch (s/s 09), but this season it just wasn't there. Either he was trepidatious about going into this new direction or he just wanted to make retail friendly clothes. It also lacked that theatrical aspect that made people pay attention to Gareth to begin with. This really does make me fear that all the hype he had is soon going to die out and he is no longer going to be relevant. The menswear is not even worth writing about, it was basically womenswear.

Rick Owens

Rick Owens has been refining his aesthetic for season much like the Mulleavy sisters. This season, it takes on this slightly minimalist approach and it really feels completely fresh. Everyone has been taking a stab at the Rick Owens aesthetic and this time, he does something different with it that i was not expecting. This might be my favorite show this season, the play with volume is amazing and creates some amazing lines. I also love this lighter color palette that Rick has been exploring these past two seasons and the accessories are perfect for the show. Has anyone else noticed how Freja keeps getting the best looks at all the collections?

Comme des Garcons

This is my other candidate for favorite show of the season. When everyone goes shoulder pad crazy, Rei pokes fun at the fashion industry by showing us this wonderful collage collection. The construction of those jackets/tops looks incredible, something i must see in person. I really love how she just made jackets out of cut up shoulder pads. I also love the section of the show with all the nude dresses paired with the harnesses, i love the juxtaposition of the two elements and the construction of the dresses looks so interesting. I did indeed go through the Comme des Garcons effect with this collection, every time i see this collection i seem to love it more and more and this basically happens with every single one of her shows. I love it when Rei shows a sense of humor, it's good to know she's not taking herself to seriously, her brand is named "like some boys" after all. My only criticism is that this show wasn't quite the emotional experience last season was, but that might have been her best show since 2000 in that aspect so i'm not bothered by it.

I'll write about Victor and Rolf, Ann Demeulemeester, and Mqueen at the end of the week since i have AP euro awaiting me (that class is killing us)

How Many Buckets? Of Water.

2009-09-20T16:34:00.000-07:00

So we have a theory about or bff margiela we think he is an alien and he lives amongst the icy blue and purple mermaids of Europa (one of Jupiter's moons that is rumoured to contain water.) So remember that season with all of the face masks? Yeah that's because he brought some models from his moon, they are all actually faceless like him, why he is never photographed. This season he decided to take a vacation so he obviously didn't design this collection he even was so kind as to invite Yohji Yamamoto so he didn't design his collection either.

Sorry we haven't posted in a while but school has been killing us. So these pictures were taken in the rain. And after we were cold. I thought you should now. Well here are the pictures =)

Polka Dot Day!

2009-09-07T20:38:00.000-07:00

The weather has been so delightfully grey that we decided to display our extreme happiness by wearing polka-dots! I thought it was rather funny that Katie was convinced she didn't have much for the occasion when when it was the opposite. Paula, our lovely photographer, was also dressed very nice.

What I wore: Shirt and blazer from H&M, thrifted vest and skirt umbrella from the supermarket and socks from payless.
I'm not really sure where Katie got everything but I have a feeling something is from target.

Paula is wearing a skirt from F21, thrifted vest, Shirt from AA and UO cardigan thing

Photoshoot!

2009-08-30T07:14:00.000-07:00

Well, we have all had quite a busy summer. Expect regular posting again now since Renata is back from Europe and Mexico and I'm back from music camp/Paris and Berlin. We will both write more about our summers and our purchases (Comme des Garcons!) but here we have some pictures we took this weekend. There's quite a few...

I'm wearing a thrifted striped t-shirt upside down, thirfted striped vest, american apparel t-shirt, cheap monday jeans, target vest thing, and shoes i got in Paris. In the other outfit i'm wearing the same shoes, pants, and shirt but with a zara vest.

Renata's wearing a dress from target, leggings from forever 21, DIYd scarf, and shoes from payless. In the other picture she wears the same thing but with my striped shirt or with a vest thing from target, backwards.

I really don't know what Katie is wearing except that her skirt is target.

Lacey bows

2009-08-01T15:21:00.000-07:00

Well the reason I haven't been posting very often is because I'm in Mexico! And my posts will be more ummm... scattered until I get back. While I've been here I found a bucket, yes a bucket, full of scrap cloth so I decided to make some bows! I also bought some lace and I haven't decided what to do with it yet, any ideas?.No outfit posts 'cause I was very limited in what I could bring/wear here =(

Oh my god shoes

2009-07-13T11:07:00.000-07:00

Well I usually never buy shoes because I don't know I'm afraid of them or something. But I came back with 8 pairs of new shoes. I went shopping with my mom and she convinced me to buy 2 pairs and when I got back to my grandma's house and I showed her my buys she remembered she had a bunch of shoes that she didn't wear any more. Oh and I also got some leather oxfords =)

Shoes I bought Diechmann?

from the same place

shoes my grandma gave me

leather oxfords!

Okay these are technially not mine but they fit, so I'll be stealing them from my sister from time to time

shoes my grandma gave me

All of them!!!!

Photoshoot

2009-07-12T06:08:00.000-07:00

This is from the beggining of summer. When we were taking these pictures some of the employees from Panera came and joined us because they were convinced there were "some kids dancing in the rain with umbrellas"

I'm Back!

2009-07-10T05:04:00.000-07:00

Hello dear readers as Gabriel may have already mentioned I was in Europe visiting my family. But for now a quick post.

2009-07-06T16:27:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the lack of posts!
I'm at a music camp hosted by Julliard and there's no wi-fi here, i'm writing this post because i managed to get on one of the counselor's computers. Paula's also been gone without internet so she couldn't post either. I do have a lot of pictures to upload when i do get back though(2 weeks).
Just wanted to let you all know that we're alive.

Hi Everyone, this is Paula

2009-06-29T13:00:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I realize that nobody really knows who I am. So, hello! I'm Paula, Intreegue's photographer.

Ok, so that's me (please excuse my horrible pose, i tried something interesting...).

I hope you guys have all enjoyed what I believe are lovely photoshoots, and just letting you guys know, Renata, Gabriel, and myself have many more planned for the future. So keep reading and thanks for your support!

Napoleon back from exile...again

2009-05-24T16:47:00.000-07:00

Once upon a time, Napoleon and one of his shipmates decided getting out of exile in Saint Helena would be easier than getting back from Elba

So they built a boat and with high hopes were off.

There food supply was limited, but that didn't stop them.

They worked tirelessly, well his one person crew did

But what is this? They didn't seem to be getting anywhere. What could possibly have gone wrong?

Their sanity started to lessen as their food did.

But then Napoleon had an idea, his only hope for survival...

But where's Napoleon?

And they all died.

The End

Math tests call for parties

2009-05-11T14:20:00.000-07:00

Today I debuted the ruffly lamè cuffs I made, and this amorphous blob thing I also made. hah! I quickly regretted all these layers when I stepped outside and it was 90143e45348 degrees out. Oh well practicality has never really been my specialty. So basically lately we've been super into DIYing and are considering selling some of them on etsy. Any thoughts? What I wore: Dress from F21, shirt thing I made, tights from Target, and the lamè cuffs I made.

Need a smile?

Finally something theatrical, lately most runway shows have forgotten that they are simply that. A show, merely for entertainment. I don't know about you but I prefer something outrageous rather than something wearable. Obviously, they have to have something (not necessarily shown) to sell, but when I watch a fashion show I want to be wowed like in Agatha+Ruiz+De+La+Prada. She has a lot of references to Dali, with the ants, eggs, crutches but she didn't make it gloomy or dark. And those tights are delicious.

On another note, my outfit, we've mentioned that we have been really into DIYing, I turned the floral skirt into a_puff skirt.

What I wore: Flowy shirt from H&M, black tights from a drugstore, puff skirt I made (originally from Salvation Army, and the ribbon from a craft store.

Cage skirt

2009-04-20T14:42:00.000-07:00

Unfortunately I had misplaced my camera, thus my lack of posts. But in other news I made this amazing cage skirt( because I'm too cheap to pay $89 for a cage+skirt) Instead I just bought one from AA and cut it up myself (yay for DIYing), I'm in love it is my new favorite piece in my wardrobe. What I'm Wearing: lace ruffled top from F21, DIYed cage skirt from AA, and a black dress from Target.

What I wore: Dress and tights from Target, DIYed cage skirt from AA, belt from F21.

photoshoot #something

2009-04-09T08:45:00.000-07:00

Well we found some totally magical lake behind Katies house, she has a blog, it's in our sidebar, semi-fashionableontuesdays. It was fun, since we didnt really try to do anything and just kind of like laughed and did stupid stuff, which is basically what we do normally. Oh and Renata and I have mildy cohesive outfits for once.

Lol at me in the third one, like all of them actually.

Transformations

2009-04-04T06:31:00.000-07:00

My sister decided to cooperate today and let me pick out her clothes, this as you might assume this excited me, seeing as my sister is(or was it's too earlys to tell) somewhat of an aberzombie. so this is the outcome. (yes my clothing, her's doesn't meet my fancy)

What she's wearing: plaid dress from H&M, vest from the lucky pack, black boater I made, and spectator flats

Close up of the boater

What I wore: polka-dotted pants as a circle scarf, white t-shirt, poof skirt I made, and polka-dotted leggings.

Sometimes, mice are welcome

2009-03-29T13:57:00.000-07:00

Mice dinkles (marching band shoe's proper name lol), you've got to love them, my legs don't usually look like that but whatever. Basically, we've all been doing quite a lot of DIYing. I'll try to get pictures of them later this week since I've been wearing a lot of them non stop. The hoodie from the last post is begging for detail shots so I'll have those up too. Anyways here's the outfit I wore on Friday, I basically love it, clashing prints, crayola colors, shiny, bow ties, it's all good. I'm getting a camera some time this week so outfit posts will become regular.

Oh fashion week was kind of horrible, talk about boring. I got into fashion, well sort of, in 1st grade when i accidentally turned on fashion network and saw that Mcqueen collection with all the birds, as a little child I was obviously entertained by the show, that collection was and this season, the collections were clothes coming down a runway, not shows. I miss that. I did love CdG, Tao, Rodarte, Mcqueen, and Gareth Pugh (needles!). I'll do an actual fashion week post later.

What I wore: Drop crotch pants, grey socks, marching band shoes that i painted to look like mice, thrifted button down, thrifted vest, Renata's sister's bow tie from when she was in drama, american apparel black lame hoodie, necklace thing that Paula made for me(partially).

photoshoot #4(i think)

2009-03-26T17:16:00.000-07:00

So DIYing is taking over our lives, i'll expatiate more on that later in the week. Enjoy these pictures. As usual, taken by Paula.

outfit details:

Renata: Red dress she found folded in half, black t-shirt, target, american apparel skirt, white tights from forever21 black tights from a drug store. Her sister's white gloves.

Me:DIYed neck thing(Paulas idea, there's a werid doll thing in the middle, it looks like a voodoo doll!)DIYd hoodie worn upside down(originally american apparel, we have an outlet here, its cheap enough to be subject to sloppy DIYs) We were considering selling these DIYed hoodies, thoughts on that? Creative Recreation boots, white pants from h&m, marching band t-shirt worn inside out, i lack basic t shirts. New glasses! totally love them, they were $15, and there my perscription. You can all ignore my hair in the first one...lol

Thrifting extravaganza

2009-03-17T15:38:00.000-07:00

My lovely thrifting finds:

close up of the pants

Can you believe that before this weekend I was a thrifting virgin, yeah I know, this is very unexpected. So I was very excited to wear my wool skirt. =)
What I wore: Ruffled shirt from Forever 21, Suspenders from Hot Topic, thrifted skirt, and whitish tights from Walgreens.

In Honor of Fashion week

2009-03-03T19:21:00.000-08:00

If fashion was a high school, our life would be very interesting. You know that scary superintendent that would come to school once a year and have everyone running around frantically? Anna Wintour. Karl Lagerfeld would be the school principle. Then as the students, Agyness Deyn would be that really popular hipster girl and Henry Holland would be her best friend. Henrik Vibskov is that un-bathed pot head that hangs out with them (if you're reading this, which I doubt, your totally in my top 5 fave designers, so no offence). In class you have Ms. Von Furstenburg, shes that wise, nice teacher everyone goes to for advice and such. Then you have Rei, she's the french teacher that no one understands but no matter her lack of sanity intrigues those artistic children. Then Anna Piaggi is that art teacher that frightens you and wears all those ponchos, of course Anna Piaggi doesn't wear tacky ponchos, but you get the analogy. Gareth Pugh is that kid wearing all the black that doesn't really have friends since he is way to busy making some complex origami structures out of his napkin and some aluminum foil. Which brings us to Maison Martin Margiela, he would be that frightening exchange student that doesn't speak, or show any other human emotions for that matter. Then the Mulleavy sisters are those artsy girls and Stella Mcartney is that really annoying vegetarian activist girl. Kate Moss was the popular "it" girl in middle school, but every one's over her now.

Sorry for the lack of outfit posts, and posts in general. we've been overwhelmed with work, and the fact that we just finished our hardest chapter in math doesn't help either. I've been really inspired as of late. I'm really into Ann Demeulemeester and Rick Owens(yeah, I'm a bad vegetarian, leather, sue me, its Rick Owens) and looking at past Comme Des Garcons collections. Which obviously doesn't help my black, white and grey detox, but hey, its still cold right?

Well I made some crappy collages, all pictures are from style.com

I absolutely adore this, how it begins all light and turns into overdressed old men (a good thing) is simply genius. Is this some type of interpretation of how over time innocence is lost over time and the airiness of life slowly slips away? Or am I just crazy. Another thing that baffles me is how is it she comes up with this, does she decide: Yes, yes I think an old man theme will be appropriate now. Just wow, there are no words for this, Gabriel and I were gawking at this for about three minutes before we could conjure Susie Bubble'sUhh, umm, deep breath, sigh."

It is amazing what can be done with feathers, draping and air.

I love the Edwardian touches found throughout her collection. The sense of balance Ann created was also breath taking.

In other news, since when hot topic specialize in knock off Chanel tights?

Ava also started her own blog style aberration (don't worry she isn't leaving intreegue) check it out!

I can't exactly think of anything right now

2009-02-28T07:29:00.000-08:00

I attempted to make this outfit more interesting by wearing two pairs of tights (sadly I don't own any two-toned tights). Though I think this only accomplshed a casual outfit.

What I wore: T-shirt, white belt from C&A, skirt from Forever 21, black tights from H&M, grey tights from Target

Oh Paris, please come soon

2009-02-24T19:23:00.000-08:00

Well, I see i haven't had an outfit post in awhile, which is unfortunate since i've been doing some exciting things with my circle scarf(margiela shoulders, without any CD cases, ahh the joy of moving my arms) and I've succesfully been able to make myself look like i have 4 arms, i will definatley be wearing this sometime this weekend so Renata(or Paula) can take a picture.
Well so far, apart from Peter Jensen, I've been really unimpressed with London. I nearly cried when i saw luella, especially after last season Sundays best on an acid trip collection, which is like impossible for me to take inspiration from but thats unimportant.
So my favorite collection in New York were, Marc by Marc Jacobs(the mens stuff was amazing, you all must agree), even the hiking boots were just plain ugly, Anna Sui, and RODARTE!!!!!!!!!!!!
But seriously, my body needs Paris. Rei, Yohji, Gareth, please save me. Yes i'm calling them by there first names, since im best friends with them in my dreams
Rodarte was just life, the close ups reveal lace combines with this weird paper like thing and knit wear and leather. And who doesn't want to wear knits with like totally insane thigh strappy leather boots, thats simply how knitwear is done.
blah blah runway pictures, i'll do that when i still don't have 5 math assignments left and study for 2 quizzes. Sleep deprivations fun

Mardi Gras

2009-02-24T17:24:00.000-08:00

In my school the Italian club though it would be just dandy (I'm in the Italian club) to have a Venetian Carneval/ Mardi Gras celebration So therefore we were all sent to make masks, and encouraged to wear costumes. Me being the obedient child I am made a lovely mask that I recently noticed is a bit creepy, but that's okay I like it any way. Well this is Gabriel writing on Renatas post, and I'd like to mention that Renatas mask horrifies me and looks like that gareth pugh collection with the white makeup and blue lipstick that gave me nightmares.

What I wore: Mask painted by me (sorry this mask is totally irrelevent to this outfit), ruffled shirt from Forever 21,Suspenders from Hot Topic, Pencil skirt from H&M, and tights from Target.

I thought I should add another outfit picture, one that is less terrifying. And this outfit I wore today.

What I wore: Dress and tights from Forever 21, and black tutu from Hot Topic.

The Best of the Week

2009-02-19T16:37:00.000-08:00

So, here are some of my outfits from the week. I actually wasn't lazy this week and did well. For the past month I've been in a haze, so my good creative outfits were scarce. But this week I got my mojo back so here are the only two pictures I have :So here I'm wearing my Dragonfly purple skull shirt, My new plaid vest in black,purple, and white, white cotton lace AEO skirt, black tights I found in my house, and my new giant black belt.
And this sideways picture is of my H&M peter pan collared black button down, My new black belt, old bubble skirt, and black tights.

To complete this outfit, put on an angry face, and yell at your sister because she can't take a picture without making it blurry, like someone had fogged up the lens. Grrr... But that's alright we got a decent one out of the billions of pictures she took. Even though its sideways... Well Ill post more tomorrow. Adios, los elephantes en el pecina se quieren sus maracas. HAHA.

-Ava

100th post (Caution: long post)

2009-02-18T15:20:00.000-08:00

Now for the rules:
1. Put the logo on your blog or post.
2. Nominate at least 3 blogs which you think are fabulous. Elisa from Floral, Paisley, Ribbons and Lace, Ana from Silver Wings, and Yiqin from Qin at the Disco.
3. Be sure to link to your nominees within your post.
4. Let them know that they have received this award by commenting on their blog.
5. Share the love and link to this post and to the person from whom you received your award.

And for my outfit, aside from all of this you get a story from me today! I know how you feel, all of this may be overwhelming, a story and two tags!

What I wore: Floral Ruffled top and shorts from F21, tights from Target.

Well while Ava and I were being diligent little children and brainstorming on ideas on ideas for a fashion club we are trying to start in our school a mob of 12 year olds (not the cool kind) surround us, and start to speak to us.

Tacky chonga girl: Your hair used to be long, what happened?

Me: I cut it.

Tacky chonga girl: Ooooooh, so are you guys ballerinas?

Me: Yeah

Tacky chonga girl: Really!?!?!

Ava: no...

Tacky chonga girl: Then why are you so dressed up? (because being a ballerina is totally relevant to dressing well.)

Ava: We just like fashion.

Tacky chonga girl: What fashion?

Then me and Ava just looked at each other. By the way this girl was wearing Cahokia, skin-tight Brazilian pants, baggy navy blue polo, Reebok shoes, and giant hoops with her name illegibly inscribed in them. Silly kids.

Totally Worthless

2009-02-15T19:46:00.000-08:00

Okay, I have to apologize for neglecting posting, that is really bad of me. I just hate to post without pictures, because most people don't read the posts, they look at the pictures. Well I also have another apology, this one goes out to the entire Intreegue crew, I'm really sorry, and I know I was throwing a bit of a hissy fit, and I feel like an idiot. Can you forgive me (again for closure?). I don't really want to explain that, maybe in a later post. But this isnt all about apologies. This is a time to celebrate. I found out my camera works with my new computer! So more outfit posts!!! I would post one now, but I'm in Pjs and my hair looks like crap. But here are a few pictures from my camera. Yeah, that weird boy is gabriel in our first days, before Renata. We were Abrezombies then. We learned though. There is also my family, were my hair looked REALLY ugly, my sisters freak friend, a pretty bird, a picture of Puerto Rico from the plane, and last but not least, me in my early model wannabe days. Huh, not bad. I have many more entertaining pictures, but that has to wait for later. bye now!

Wednesday.

2009-02-11T17:22:00.000-08:00

Apparently, my "uniqueness" befuddles people to the point that they feel obligated come up with theories on how I have come to be (this is all referring to the way I dress). My favorite being: That I have elves ling inside my closet constantly making clothes for me. I only wish. For this outfit I was basically playing off the whole doll/little girl motif.

What I wore: Dress from Loveculture, vest from the lucky pack, tights from Target, frilly socks from Forever 21, and Shoes from Norstrom.

Spontaneous photoshoot

2009-02-07T19:14:00.002-08:00

This is Paula Rondon by the way, she takes our pictures (the good ones anyway). I find it really funny that were all wearing wintery outfits and it was like in the upper 60's. The shoes i'm wearing are the ones that the buddhist monks wear, i saw the monks in a buddhist temple and thought that there shoes looked really tao and i loved the shape, so i found a place that sells them and got them for about 50 american cents. Well I'm wearing a vest from China, it has super cool shoulders it was a really interesting shape, sorry for not having any detail shots and Renata's jacket has those little marching band loops. Well i'm wearing drop crotch pants from China, cardigan from american apparel, gingham button-down from urban outfitters, the shoes that the buddhist monks wear, bowtie from my band uniform, and my marching band gloves (the clarinets cut the fingers off), pin i made out of felt and googley eyes(its a really lopsided heart) and Renatas wearing a dress and jacket from forever21, white tights from target, shoes from norstroms and a vintage neckalace.

Posing fail

2009-02-07T10:16:00.001-08:00

I attempted to change the usual pose in my picture, I'm not really sure I like it, but whatever, the point is to see the outfit, no? And I am quite fond of this outfit. I was feeling whimsical :)

What I wore: Shirt from Forever 21, dress worn as a skirt from H&M , suspenders and tutu from Hot Topic, belt from C&A, tights from Target, and Shoes from Nordstrom.

Oh Britania!

2009-02-02T18:26:00.000-08:00

Hello dears, Sorry I haven't been posting lately and have been a bit behind on comments. But I've been somewhat busy and I'm still figuring how to organize my time as well as possible. I do have a lot of outfits I want to put up, so I will be doing so when possible. Here my inspiration was one of those proper old British men. What I wore: Shirt from Forever 21, Vest and necklace from the Lucky Pack (more talk about this to come), skirt from AA, Tights from Target.

Close up!

Closer!

Scarves are everyone's best friends

2009-01-30T16:37:00.000-08:00

Remember how I said I found balance in my classes? I spoke too soon though I think I'm getting better at organizing my time, I hope I didn't jinxe myself again. On a fashion related note. It's been somewhat cold lately, An I decided that that didn't neccesaraly have to be a bad thing (I'm not one for cold weather) and came up with this outfit.
What I wore: Shirt from Walmart, scarf made by my aunt, skirt from Guess, tutu found in my little sister's costume box, tights from Target, and belt from C&A.

Busy bee

2009-01-26T14:30:00.000-08:00

I know I haven't been posting lately but my new classes seem to be much more demanding. But I think I'm getting a better balance, so I should be posting regularly. Well, over the weekend I did what I like to call extreme shopping. The only reason I would call it extreme is because I had to come through the the mall. I was rather successful.

What I wore: red bow belongs to my sister, black ruffled shirt from Forever 21, skirt from American Apperal, tights from Target. (Can you see my bow motif?)

Robot space penguins are people too

2009-01-20T20:11:00.001-08:00

Gabriel writing,
I'm sure you've all seen our wonderful pictures from our random photoshoots. We do quite enjoy them, this ones purpose was originally to get a good picture of Ava's outfit for the weardrobe chuck taylor contest, but we submitted it in wrong or something and it never worked out. Anyways, the setting was totally amazing and the lighting was great and we were all wearing lovely outfits, so Paula just took pictures of all of us. I must say that the group photo is totally vogue editiorial worthy. My sartorial inspiration for today consisted of pointy margiela shoulders, tuxedos, weird phantom of the opera/magician tailcoat or tuxedo ensembles, gareth pugh horrifying pointy wtf perfection, and penguins. I think my end results was quite nice and i acheived my robot space penguin re-done tuxedo look i was going for, my inspiration collage is to the right by the way. I quite enjoy wearing CD cases as shoulder pads(I'm sorry Tavi, i will allow you to hate me and write an extensive post about how horrible i am stealing your genius ideas)but there simply is no other way to acheive big pointy margiela shoulders. I have no idea what to do in front of a camera, in fact i hate having my pictures taken which is ironic being as this is a fashion blog, so i just kind of stared at the camera. Ava actually knows what to do and i just kind ask Paula, but it never works out. Ava and I got the most exciting glares and stares, my favorite was of this one lady that went up to me, looked at me, went away and came back and looked at me, then left.

Well here's what i wore the day of the photoshoot, except for the hat, im trying to not make it a signature, but it worked so well with the outifit: panda hat, chinese street vendor, black lame jacket, american apparel, black vest, american apparel, tuxedo shirt(you can't see the pleating, but i though it added to the Gareth pugh element), random thrift store, bowtie, from my band uniform, drop crotch pants, store in China called 5cm, creative recreation boots

Photoshoot

2009-01-19T11:02:00.000-08:00

Please enjoy yourselves with our third spontaneous photo shoot, pictures by the magnificent Paula Rondon.

Bring on the Night

2009-01-18T13:33:00.000-08:00

Well hey there, I'm back!
Sorry for being nonexistent, but I have been very busy trying not to fail my classes. Well last time I saw you I had longer hair, but I cut it all off. I feel so free. My life has been progressing in the right directions and all is well. My new classes are great, mainly because I'm not taking Spanish any more. I know some people think that is a mistake, but I for one do not. Instead I wanted to take Journalism, but the class was full, so I was lucky enough to get the last spot in T.V. Production. And it's first period too so I won't miss much if I do happen to fall asleep. Yes all seems well. Also I think I will no longer have to worry about failing, because I will be studying more often. So yesterday Renata, Gabriel, Paula our photographer (who took these lovely pictures), and I all did another large photoshoot for the Weardrobe Chuck Taylors [Converse] contest. This is my best outfit up-to-date. And you will just get a sneak peek because I have already put my pictures up on LookBook. The entire photoshoot will be posted later explaining what we are wearing, so I won't be saying anything about that here. Enjoy this little treat!

-Ava

We're back

2009-01-16T06:54:00.000-08:00

Sorry for my lack of posts, but this week ava and I had finals (Gabriel had midterms). So that kept our hands quite full. Well, this is an outfit I wore this week. Sorry for the bad quality picture, I blame th lighting.
What I wore: ruffled shirt from Forever 21, shorts from Mexx Sport, skirt from Guess, belt from C&A, and white tights from Target.

Comme again?

2009-01-11T18:37:00.000-08:00

This is Gabriel everyone. You can all ignore the super lame title.
Well i haven't posted in quite some time, not having a cameria is quite the inconvenience. Well happy new year and happy holidays. Over winter break i went to China, that was exciting. The grocery stores are like walking into pet stores, theres jellyfish and bullfrogs and turtles. I went to the comme des garcons store and martin margiela store, i almost had a heart attack. I tried taking pictures in the comme des garcons store but the lady told me i wasn't allowed. All the workers wear the clothes and they look so cool, i totally wanted to buy everything, but the cheapest things were from play and $12o for a t-shirt is not very reasonable, even though Rei Kawakubo designed them. My most exciting purchase was my panda hat, i received strange looks wearing it today. Someone asked me if they could touch it and cars would slow down as they drove by me. I also bought drop crotch pants and this big knit pod/caccoon. I actually don't know what it is but it quenched my henrik vibskov knits obsession, oh the shoes that the buddhist monks wear, i thought they looked like tao. China is quite exciting, hardly anyone in Shanghai knows english and there not very familiar with the word hello and just say good morning at all times. The street vendors are quite familiar with english, and quite a few know spanish, its quite shocking, they also never leave you alone.
(please excuse my horrible collage making)
I realized that Renata and Ava basically never post any runway stuff or street style stuff, and being as i have far too many street style/runway pics on my computer, you get lots of henrik vibskov, comme des garcons, Alexander Mcqueen, Gareth pugh, and marc jacobs in the next few days. Sorry for the awkward post set up, i don't exactly understand how to get the picture in the middle of the post and im in the midst of studying for finals so i shall save that for later.

Heres what i wore today: pants:h&m(they need altering), black lame hoodie(yes im wearing two jackets, a long sleeved shirt, and a furry hat in florida)American apparel, polka dotted hoodie:h&m, white shirt:Zara, bow tie: came with my band uniform, Black oxfords(not visible): some store in China called 5cm, hat: street vendor lady that nearly attacked me to get me to buy it

Labor Day??

2009-01-08T17:41:00.000-08:00

Some girl came up to me and told me I shouldn't wear white after Labor day. Wouldn't it always be after Labor Day? What a thought, I happen to think it is better not to follow along those "rules" because that way people are surprised, and we all know Renata needs to surprise people.

What I wore: White shirt was a gift, blue shirt from H&M, Shorts from Loehmanns, and tights from a drugstore.

Wednesday

2009-01-07T16:12:00.000-08:00

I had no clue there were so many ways to get a scholarship (random thought of today). I got a lot of compliments for today's outfit. I am not sure not why. It looks like a lot of the things I wear. What I wore: Shirt from Guess, skirt thrifted, belt from C&A, shorts from Mexx Sport, and tights from Forever 21.

Returning to the routine

2009-01-06T16:30:00.000-08:00

I am now back in Florida. It might just be me but I feel -how to word this- umm... heavy almost for coming back to everyday's rut. But let us talk of a happier subject, todays outfit! I found this jacket thing in my closet and I kind of like it (though the colour in the picture was distorted and looks somewhat gross) it has a few round studs and such paraphenalia around the collar and until today, thought it was too bad ass for me.
What I wore: Ruffled shirt from Forever 21, shrunken jacket thing from somewhere in Germany, skirt from American Apparel, belt from Kohls, grey tights from Target, and lace tights from Payless.

2008-12-30T16:26:00.000-08:00

It seems like Mexico is one party after the next (not that that is a bad thing) but first Christmas , then my birthday and New year's. Well this is the outfit I wore today. I'm sorry about the skimpy posts lately but I shouldn't exactlybe on the computer. What I wore: poofy sleeved shirt from H&M, skirt used for volume from Guess, skirt from American Apperal, tights from Target, and belt from Forever 21.

Asleep waiting for Santa

2008-12-26T14:02:00.000-08:00

My sister thought it would be funny to take a picture of me passed out from the nights festivities with my head band still on. The bird is actually a Christmas ornament for the tree, given to me as a present from my uncle... odd present, but it matched my shoes quite nicely and brought my outfit a festive and, well, more like something I would do every day feel. Because my parents every year throw a Christmas party with my family, I have to be careful not to scare them with what I wear. I didn't want to just wear a T-shirt and jeans, and my parents and family understand that, but they don't all understand "fashion" yet. Some do, but not all of them. They think fashion is wearing sparkly tops with jeans and boots or high heels. So I wore my ruffle top from the Salvation army tucked into my Hanukkah jeans (I call them that because I got them on the first day of Hanukkah) that I got from Forever 21, burgundy flats, and my AEO teal cardigan. It all looked very nice. but later I changed into a lace tank and my soccer shorts to go to sleep, and I forgot that I was still wearing the head band, so I fell asleep with it on, waiting till morning to open my gifts, and my sister takes a picture because its really funny to her. This was my best Christmas so far :]

-Ava

Christmas

2008-12-26T11:48:00.001-08:00

Wow, Christmas was ridiculously fun. Usually when I spend it in Germany all we do is go to church and go to sleep. But here we waited until midnight just to hug everyone (about 40 people) and wish the a merry christmas.

This is what I wore for the festivities.

What I wore: Turtle neck from Walmart , houndshooth dress and tights from Forever 21.

Refusing to conform = )

2008-12-22T16:16:00.000-08:00

Well, I decided that I wasn't going to change the way I dress at all. No matter how conspicous I may look. Do you think it's wrong to think something looks bad in a different part of the world, or does is tacky just tacky wherever it is? I happen to think the second one, but would lovew to hear your opinions. Today's outfit was based on Asian street style. Since I don't really thinbk I can pull off the extreme outfits I just clashed some prints which I think gave the outfit an intersting look.
What I wore: Dress worn as a shirt from Loveculture,belt from C&A, skirt and tights from Forever 21.

P.S. I'm enjoying Mexico very much!

The Winter Band Concert ♫

2008-12-22T15:21:00.000-08:00

This is a picture from my first high school band concert. I'm not the one in the front, I'm in the background. And if you wondering what I'm wearing its our uniform for concerts. Its not really a dress, its not even a shirt and a skirt. Its an embellished top, and these enormous wide legged pants made to look like skirts. I actually love the pants, but the top is atrocious. I'm also wearing my red glasses. The girl in the front actually found them for me and gave them to me because she thought I would like them. So I share them with her.P.S.
That girls is one of the funniest, kookiest, people I know. She's a good friend, and she always gives me constructive criticisms on my outfits. And she is learning very well. She's even starting to tuck in her T-shirts like I do! And Stephanie, if your reading this,thanks. Merry Christmas!!! Happy holidays everyone!

Airport...

2008-12-20T15:56:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, I went to the airport. I thought it would be an inaproprite time to attract attention, so I went with something simple. It´s kind of Henry Holland-esque, which I like. Though to me this is a very boring outfit, I still go a lot of stares once I arrived to my destination. Well, I´m not sure what I was expecting, considering I am at a little town in the middle of nowhere, Mexico. Not that this is a bad thing, I like that every one knows eachother, and they all ask me my grandmother´s name and have them nod knowingly. At the moment the "trendy" people wear Hollister, American Eagle, etc. I hope to change that.
What I wore: Shirt from a street vendor in Las Vegas, skirt from American Apparel, tights from H&M, and belt from Forever 21.

Nerdy Ballerina!!

2008-12-17T17:27:00.000-08:00

Tuesday I was inspired by ballet, something I used to do for four to six years, I cant remember. But I ended up looking really nerdy with this pair of glasses I found on the chorus room floor. they're even my same prescription, which is amazing. they're a bit scratched up but I don't mind at all. they look great. And for the entire week I have been wearing my two pearl necklaces simply because I love the vintage feel they give the outfit. Also I have been wearing the hair pin Gabriel gave me for an early Christmas. Thanks Gabriel! So here is Tuesday's outfit, enjoy :

What I'm Wearing: white puffy tu tu like American Eagle Skirt, Black and white layered Tights, heather grey V-neck from Target, Black American eagle cardigan, AA glasses I found on the floor of the Chorus room, antique store necklaces, gold and pearl hair pin.

So that's the outfit. And one more thing. I officially have a MAJOR crush on this PERFECT guy [not gonna name him...] who likes all the same music, dresses appropriately, and is super hot. <3

Edna Mode

2008-12-15T10:42:00.000-08:00

Well today i was inspired by Comme des garcons menswear s/s 09. I got the greatest stares, some tacky hispanic ladies were staring at Renata and I for at least an hour and thinking we don't know spanish, they conversed about our "poorly dressed selves" in spanish, i understood all of it and was having a very difficult time containing my laughter (being from Peru i know spanish fluently). While I was at the mall a police came up to me asking me if i was ok, i'm not sure what he meant by that. Some little kid came walking up to me and his mom pulled him back and told him to "leave that strange boy alone". I was quite happy when i got to barneys, some nice employee recognized that i was trying to convey cdg and and asked if my shoes were yohji yamamoto and said he has seen me on the internet somewhere, so if your reading this right now, I liked you jacket =).

Yay for shorts over pants!!!

What I'm wearing: American Apparel cardigan, shirt from Zara, brothers tie, shorts my little cousin left at my house 2 years ago, jeans from H&M, and the shoes lack a label.

Ava is wearing a pencil skirt from the Salvation Army, two patent leather belts over that [one black and one white], white tights, flats from Payless, a purple t-shirt with a velvet skull on it, two pearl necklaces found at an antique store, a black and white polka dotted ribbon as a bow tie, black and white polka dotted clutch purse, and a black fedora from Forever 21.

What Renata wore: Shirt from H&M, Suspenders from Hot Topic, Bow from Forever 21, skirt from H&M, tights from Forever 21, shoes from Payless.

Ava's purse is really cool. We call it "the Mary Poppins purse" because as you can see it is extremely tiny, but it fit all her makeup, her glasses, her money, and her cards. It was so funny watching her having to pull everything out from it to find stuff. Renata and I had to look inside it to make sure it really wasn't magical. I still have my doubts.

Rei Kawakubo

2008-12-14T16:52:00.001-08:00

This is Gabriel writing,
I would just like to tell you about what my dream world is like. In my mind, I am best friends with Tavi (from tavi-thenewgirlintown.blogspot.com) and I go to Anna Piaggi's house for tea and cake, and Rei Kawakubo is my grandmother and she also lives in my closet and produces clothing for me, and Agyness Deyn is my shopping partner. Speaking of Agyness Deyn and Anna Piaggi, I had this dream were Renata, Ava, and I went to Anna Piaggi's house for tea and she wouldn't let us in without hats and she gave me this hat that looked like a flamingo and that she had this car that was really a huge peacock. I also had a dream were we went shopping in target with Agyness Deyn and all she did was complain that everything was far to expensive and she buys all her clothes for 20 cents. Isn't my subconcious lovely?
Anyways todayI went to Renata's guitar recital. She was the announcer person and I heard some lady talking about her appearance, it was something like this "who does that girl think she is", her husbands reply: "yeah, what's that thing on her head, does she think we're at some funeral or something?", lady again:"poor child, it's a shame she can't be as fashionable as us"
The lady was wearing a horrible ed hardy jacket with ugly jeans and uggs and her husband wore the same thing but it was an equally horrible ed hardy t-shirt with ugly sneakers. Anyways, I received my Comme des Garcons for h&m jacket and nearly had a heart attack, you shall all be seeing it quite a lot in my outfits, i'm not wearing it in this picture however because i wasn't aware i had it 'till i got home. Oh, I'm leaving for Shanghai and Beijing on Monday so i'll be purchasing a camera so you can all see me on a regular basis, but I will be posting, pictures, quite a lot this week. I'm ridiculously excited for China, I'm going to the Comme des Garcons store and Maison Martin Margiela and I'm hoping to find some Henrik Vibskov items since I couldn't go to the store when I was in Copenhagen, and i've been saving up money so i can actually afford stuff. Well i'm wearing my h&m(not cdg)side-zip jacket that i folded and pinned to like this, cheap monday jeans, and my lesbian hiker boots that i adore, and an american apparel t-shirt

Excuses, Excuses

2008-12-13T06:03:00.000-08:00

We would all like to apologize for the confusing mess we have created, but we believe that the best way to present our blog is as a collaboration. That way we don't fight over Paula (photographer) or cause some other brouhaha. We hope this confusion doesn't turn you off our blog because we do work hard and really appreciate our readers.

Now apart from my ramblings, yesterday we attended our old middle school's band concert. It was rather exhilarating. I was the only one dressed a bit casually. Gabriel was wearing all black and side-zip jacket. He looked a bit generically-trendy (but in a good kind of look-book-esque way). Ava looked like a porcelain doll that was a cross between Balenciaga and Liebermarlene.

Oh and the reason for the lack of posts/pictures was my sister's camera keeping.

I wore this on Thursday, it was my favourite outfit of the week and thought you should see.

What I wore: Striped shirt from H&M, suspenders from Hot Topic, scarf from H&M, skirt from Forever 21, blue tights from H&M.

POLKA!!!!

2008-12-10T16:58:00.001-08:00

I don't have much to write. I wore this Monday. Sorry, but I've been so busy studying, and working hard trying not to get an F on my grades. My GPA is already low. So heres the outfit. Sorry I don't have pictures for Tuesday and today (Wednesday), you can blame Renata for that, especially because I wore a new skirt in a really nice outfit Tuesday. Today I just wore a T-shirt and jeans. Nothing at all special.
What I wore- salvation army vest and pencil skirt, Forever 21 tights and ruffle shirt, Payless high heels (not pictured) and a black patent leather belt.

I look a bit funny here. Don't laugh because my hair is not done. Well you know, I think I will say something. I contribute so much to this blog, and I'm really unhappy that no credit goes to me. It's always "Renata's blog" and I feel sad. Almost like people like her better. This blog is fun, but I think it's giving me confidence issues. Gabriel even says that whenever I write something else on one of his posts, that people stop commenting. It's like they're the stars and I'm not, and we
all work hard on this blog. It kinda hurts... Oh and Monday I had a panic attack. That was an out-of-body experience. Pretty freaky. Well yeah. Write me stuff...

-Ava

Picture Time!

2008-12-10T16:20:00.001-08:00

Yesterday Paula and I went to the park to take pictures. It was a rather exciting day, first I won a jar of Nutella and then my photographer (Paula) and I were harassed by middle-school children. Photographed by Paula Rondon.

What I wore: shirt from Forever 21, suspenders from Hot Topic, skirt from American Apparel, red tights from Forever 21, lace tights are from Payless, and shoes are also from Payless.

Days slipping away

2008-12-08T17:55:00.000-08:00

These past couple of days have been a blur. I feel like I really haven't had time for anything! Why is it we choose not to work diligently in class all semester like we are supposed to, but instead "happily" cram everything into the last couple of weeks before we change our classes (Ava and I have blocked scheduling). Because society is lazy, me included. But on a happier note I found this dress at a Loehmans that I wish I could say belonged to my grandmother (Somewhat believable) but that would be lying, and we are not fond of lying my children, are we now, no. I'll stop my babbling now.
What I wore: Lace dress from Loehmans, skirt from American Apparel, belt from Forever 21, and tights from Target.

Gabriel writing,

Well today was exciting. Ava and I went to the salvation army, i purchased nothing but Ava got quite a lot for $15, and we all took pictures in the lovely park next to Renata's community, there quite lovely. I hope you're not all getting sick of hearing lovely, it's one of mine and Renata's idiosyncratic words. Well, being as I haven't posted in about a week, I will be writing a lot so try and excuse my run-on sentences and excessive adjectives. On black Friday, I went on a shopping odyssey going to the Sawgrass Mills Mall at midnight and leaving there at 5 AM and then going to the Aventura mall 'till noon, basically 12 hours of shopping. I got these gorgeous boots that i so lovingly call my "lesbian hiker boots"/. There basically glorified dr. Martens, but there black with black patent leather insets and mesh-like paneling with faux fur at the top (not in a tacky uggs way). I also got some plaid shirts, more shoes, black jeans, and that sweater i wore during our recent photoshoot at the Barneys co-op opening. The sawgrass mall was crazy and the 50% off section at urban outfitters was frightening, as was this 2 story forever21 that opened in the Aventura mall. I won some ugly tote bag and some lady that doesn't even like forever21 won 300 dollars, but i gave the tote bag to some girl and she nearly cried.

Spontaneous Photoshoot #2

2008-12-06T17:37:00.001-08:00

So today we did our usual and hung out around the park and the Commons (a nick name for the shopping center in our town everyone uses) and we felt a great need to take pictures, we did and here they are. We hope you enjoy them. We can write afterwards what we wore if you really want to know. Also in another tangent, Ava and Gabriel went shopping all morning at The Salvation Army. Ava got a black pencil skirt, a black and white polka dotted vest, a floral shirt Renata is converting into a skirt, a floral skirt with buttons down the front, and a ruffle top. Also Congratulations to Gabriel for winning 7th chair in the All County high school honor band. Job well done. Enjoy our pictures!

Mean people >:(

2008-12-04T18:20:00.000-08:00

Today I got into a little debacle with that child that comments on my clothing. I usually don't care what people say, but for some reason he made me loose my temper. I will be referring to him as kid.
Kid: Why are you wearing tablecloths on your legs?
Me: (pleasantly) they are actually lace tights.
Kid: Are you trying to make some type of fashion statement, because you just look like a clown.
Me: If clown attire pleases me, then by golly I will dress like a clown
Kid: You said you dress like a clown
Me: (loosing patience) Do you honestly find what you wear aesthetically pleasing, or remotely interesting?
Kid: You can't just put big words and think what you're saying sounds sophisticated.
Me: You are not smart.
Kid: Whatever it's not like anyone would look twice at you.
Me: ...
What I wore White shirt from H&M, keffiya from a street vendor, suspenders from Hot Topic, skirt from American Apparel, grey tights from Target, and lace tights from Payless.

Don't forget to ask us any questions you might have for us.

Another cold front

2008-12-03T14:37:00.000-08:00

Today was rather cold, 54 degrees! For a Floridian that's ridiculously cold. I don't know if you can tell but I'm wearing three pairs of tights! That kept me nicely insulated. The reason for my choppy writing is I'm just too happy to formulate flowing sentences. Maybe it has something to do with that one guy that stopped me to tell me how great I dress. No, I think it's something else. What I wore: Houndstooth dress from Forever 21, scarf from H&M, tights from Target (the top layer), and my sister's bowtie worn in my hair.

Close up of the houndstooth dress

Mourning a loss. Literally.

2008-12-03T14:29:00.000-08:00

So I have a lot of pictures for you today. The reason I'm wearing all black is because yesterday, I lost two challenges in band, sending me four chairs down! I went from 4th/3rd (we don't know because the piccolo player doubles on flute, and piccolo sits in front of the flutes) to 5th/6th.
I cried until all the sodium from my body was gone and I went limp. So today is my first and only day of mourning, because I'm moving on, and challenging for my chair back. So that is the reason why I wear black. In style, of course. So I have a plethora of pictures to show you today:

These shoes are my pride and glory. Hand me downs from my mom, they are vintage Italian designer (Flora's) shoes.

Another look at the shoes.

These are some amazing tights I found. Guess where? WALMART! I love these too.

What I wore- My Italian high heeled shoes, Walmart "Fashion Tights", AEO black babydoll milkmaid dress, AEO black tie-around cardigan, AEO knit hat.

I'm kinda smiling, I was trying not too but Renata was going crazy and it made me laugh.

So that's my outfit. Enjoy its splendor and mourning glory. And comment it.

Life is full of surprises

2008-12-01T13:28:00.000-08:00

Today Ava and I were uberly surprised to find excessively well-dressed girl (below). Our first thoughts when we encountered her were "We must befriend this child. How is it we have not discovered her before?? How can we approach without appearing stalker-esque... Whatever we'll settle with her picture for our blog (which she so graciously allowed)."

Random fashionable girl from our school

Other than our fashionable find today nothing spectacular occurred. My oxfords did cause some controversy but that isn't exactly unusual.
What I wore: Shirt from Forever 21, skirt from American Apparel, white tights from target, hair clip lost in my hair from Sally's, and belt from Forever 21.

Determination!

2008-12-01T13:21:00.000-08:00

Today I just made the desicion I'm going to get out of my grounding, and I'm going hunting for a new guy (too early?). Well here is what I wore today. I'm going to try Renata's approach and not smile. Because thats how I model, but I don't do that for normal pictures so I have two, one smiling, one not. Here it is:

What I wore- AEO baby lace skirt, AEO moccasin flats with a bow, Mom's old vintage belt, heather grey shirt from Target, and a vintage beaded necklace I found at an antique store in Daytona.

Smile!

So comment my pictures. Do I look angry in the first one?

Cirque Du... Intreegue??

2008-11-30T07:25:00.000-08:00

Well today I attended the wonderful Cirque Du Soleil, and it was rather amazing. I was in complete awe of how creative they are with the items they incorporate into their routines. In honor of such a spectacle I based my outfit today on Cirque Du Soleil. Of course nothing close to as elaborate as what they have.

I'm very jealous of this skirt

Ridiculously overdressed, me?? never. For some reason my mother said I was excessively overdressed. You would think she'd be used to the way I dress by now. Oh well, she'll adjust eventually. I also wore out for the first time my new favorite shoes :D

What I wore: Shirt, skirt and headband from Forever 21, tights from Target.

New favorite shoes from Nordstrom

Black Friday

2008-11-28T18:50:00.000-08:00

Today we had a mall extravaganza I went at normal hours (1:00pm) while Gabriel somehow managed to stay the entire night starting from 11:20pm to noon. I'm kind of jealous, I wish my parents would let me go mall hopping (Gabriel went to 2 malls) all night. What I wore: cabbage dress from Forever 21, skirt from American Apparel, belt from C&A, polka-dotted leggings from Walmart, blue leggings from H&M Close up of the tights/leggings

Another Adventure

2008-11-27T06:57:00.000-08:00

Gabriel writing,
so this is what I wore yesterday, I went to starbucks with Renata but we ended up taking a picture in publix by the tacky christmas shirts that my geometry teacher wears. I was supposed to be wearing a real bowtie, but that ended up failing, so we made one out of that paper stuff in shoes, which is kind of gross now that I look back on it. Oh and my shoes were $9 =)

Well I, along with most everyone in the blogging world, love Comme des Garcons, and living in poor deprived Florida, I could not attend the h&m with CDG collaboration collection launch. Well, being as the guys stuff was kind of boring, and too big for me, i really wanted a black deconstructed jacket, and was fortunate enough to get one off ebay for $185.89, so I should be getting that soon enough, because all Floridians need black wool jackets.

go comment Ava down there.

Eh-mah-gawd Saboomafu!

2008-11-26T18:02:00.000-08:00

So you might be wondering what Saboomafu is. Well its the nick name Gabriel and I use for Renata's little sister. Well Renata's little sister got angry at her and didn't let her use her camera, so she couldn't take pictures. Which is horrible cause I wore a reeeeeaaaly nice outfit. So I wore these vertical pin stripped, flare legged, A&F, blue and white pants, A white 3/4 sleeved shirt from Target, my mommy's old belt, and this amazing necklace I found at a antique store in Daytona. And my mom got me a new hat today!! Its pretty cool, and you'll see it in a picture later. since I feel bad that you don't have a picture of my outfit, I'll just show you a couple of the things on my way to big on my wish list.
There is A LOT more, like a hundred more items, but these are just a few random ones I picked.
I know I wont get everything, but I LOVE Urban Outfitters so I like pick every item up from the store and try to buy it. But its just a wish list. So, just a couple of announcements.
1) comment me!
2) DO THE BIB&TUCKER LOGO CONTEST PEOPLE!!!!!!

- Ava

Black friday??

2008-11-25T13:45:00.000-08:00

Today I was inspired by tavi-and by inspired I mean copied her whole wearing a dress as a skirt. Do you think I pulled it off? Oh and today I discovered that they had ridiculous sale thing the day after Thanksgiving. When Gabriel heard I was unaware of this tradition I was greeted wtih questions like: Do you live under a rock?!?! I'm not really sure how it is I never heard of this because now I'm seeing it everywhere.

What I wore: poofy sleeved shirt, and plaid dress H&M, belt from C&A, tights from a drugstore.

Monday

2008-11-24T13:57:00.000-08:00

Wow that last post got our most comments to date! I'm glad everyone liked it. We are actually in the process of putting together a photos shoot, but don't count on that anytime soon because there is a lot that needs to get done. Now for an even more recent matter, today. I had an urge to tuck in a dress to a skirt so I did. I can never resist my clothing urges.(yes, yes I'm aware I look a smidge bit upset in my picture.)

What I wore: Dress from Loveculture, skirt from H&M, belt from C&A, purple tights ?, and lace tights from Payless.

Fridays call for pictures

2008-11-22T05:57:00.000-08:00

I wouldn't call this a photo shoot because it was only semi-planned. I would consider it more a creative way to showcase what I wore today. These pictures were taken by the magnificent Paula Rondon. Who also came up with the name of this blog.
What I wore: Shirt form H&M, vest from Mandee's, scarf from H&M, belt from Forever 21, leggings from American Apparel, tights from ?, skirt from Forever 21.

Check out under this post!

Thank Gawd It's Friday!

2008-11-21T15:27:00.001-08:00

This is what I wore Friday. Don't have much to say. I hate that Renata took the picture with my jacket on but whatever. I broke up with my boyfriend today. There was a football game and it was kinda fun... Just not the best game ever. So comment my outfit.

What I wore- dress is AEO,tights AA,china flats AEO, jacket AA.

Thrown together

2008-11-20T18:10:00.000-08:00

Today my progressing sickness made me feel quite tired I won't bother with my symptoms (there are plenty) so I kind of just threw my outfit together. It isn't your average I'm sick and don't give a crap look so I guess it works. Definitely simpler than what is to my liking, but what are you going to do?

What I wore: shirt H&M, belt Forever 21 (yes, I wore it yesterday, and plan on exploiting it to the fullest), and pants from my mother's closet (I'm rather fond of her pants from her youth).

Close up of the pants

Under the weather

2008-11-19T15:15:00.000-08:00

Ugh, I'm developin a cold, and it is somewhat upsetting. But I felt a little better when I saw these tights in school today. I realize my posts are getting shorter and shorter, but just bear with me I'll soon go back to my regular babbling self.

What I wore: sweater from Khols, Shirt from ?, Keffiya from a street vendor in Germany, tights and belt from Forever 21

Turtle neck... Why not??

2008-11-18T11:20:00.000-08:00

Today we were fortunate enough to get a half day -I'm not really sure why- but I won't question it. The weather today was really nice it wasn't as cold as yesterday, but instead yummily refreshing. I did't wear those shoes to school I just thought it happened to look better for the picture.

What I wore: Turtle-neck from Walmart, dress from Marshall's, leggings from H&M, and shoes from DSW shoes from Saks fifth Avenue.

Akward Moments

2008-11-18T10:58:00.000-08:00

Well here is what I wore today because I thought it was cold. Renata took the picture on our way to third period, and I was caught by surprise when she took the picture, because I really don't see her in the hall ways. Well its not a bad picture, but my bangs are blown to the side because of the wind. I look kins funny don't I?

What I wore- A&F jeans, my awesome new belt from the bag of my mom's old clothes, My moccasin/ loafer like flats from AEO, T-shirt with water color flower design from AEO, scarf from AEO, blazer from Forever 21.

Don't forget our Bib & Tucker contest!!! No one has entered yet :( and we're all sad. Comment! Bye!

Cold front...again

2008-11-17T14:38:00.000-08:00

Ahh, today the weather was rather cold ( from a Floridians point of view). Today's outfit doesn't really have a story. But I do think you should know I lovingly call this dress the cabbage dress. (just in case I ever mention it) What I wore: Sweater from Takko, dress from Forever 21, belt from Kohls, skinny jeans from Urban Outfitters

Victorian goes to the beach meets Raver?

2008-11-17T14:24:00.000-08:00

So this is what I wore today. Yeah the first picture is my silly pose :) So here it is:

Silly me. I look like a Victorian that goes to south beach and meets a disco raver. Gabriel gave me the inspiration for this outfit, so kudos to him.

What I wore- A Forever 21 tier halter, and AEO grey and white striped shrunken hobo cardigan, navy blue AEO floral printed beach shorts, and my fading tights from target, and AEO china flats.

I have no idea what this is..... Renata? Well ok, its cool. I think it's something of Renata's. She is quite the artist. (actually this was made by Damian)

So thats what I wore. My first day back to school In like a bazillion years. I was tired so I didn't do my normal make up routine. Hope I still look okay. I went to my old middle school Falcon Cove and I got pulled aside by an administrator, and she told me "Honey, I love that you come here and all, and I know that what your wearing is dress code at Cypress but when you come here you need to be in dress code." I thought she was talking about my shirt so I told her "Um... ok. If you want I can close my sweater and no one can see my shirt." She looked at me funny then said "Oh, no honey, it's your shorts. They are too short for a middle school. Next time come in middle school dress code." I gave her a mean look then walked away. I always get criticized for what I'm wearing. It's too flamboyant, it's too short, it's too long,it's too tight, it's too baggy. I get compliments too, but only from people that understand me. The other kids give me weird looks like I have an arm growing out of my head. I wish people could be more open to being fashionable. Just upsets me some times. Yeah, I rant a lot. It's my Thaaaaang. Well, don't forget about the Bib & Tucker logo contest, see details in a post below. You gotta look for it. And we need your help. Comment meeeeee! Well see ya!
