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.

Close up of the skirt

Cage skirt

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

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

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

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)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
