Free People Inspiration

2011-03-08T18:48:00.000-08:00

All of these are from the Free People March catalog. They just so happen to be my favorites, believe me I would post the entire thing up here if I could. You can shop the catalog online here.

Also, the Free People blog is one of my favorite sources of inspiration. Here are two looks showcased in this entry.

Enjoy and happy Tuesday,

Meliss

Mara Hoffman

A few weeks ago when I first saw this dress I absolutely fell in love. As aforementioned in this post, I'm obsessed with eyeballs. So, when I saw this little number which is the perfect combination of tribal patterns, colors, and an eyeball I instantly became obsessed with finding out the designer: Mara Hoffman.

Tank Maxi Dress $195

Modal Poncho $200

Lattice Back Tank Dress $182

Fringe Bikini $187

These pieces by Hoffman come from Planet Blue.

I think it's safe to say that I've found my new favorite designer.

Apple of my Eye

2011-02-25T13:04:00.000-08:00

Here are some things I got at Michael's craft store today: feathers to make my own type of feather extensions (ha, who am I kidding, right?), a beautiful turquoise pendant, and eyeball stickers - because if you don't know, I'm obsessed with eyeballs.

I wasn't sure what I was going to do with the eyeball stickers, but I've found one use for them already!

And here I am sporting a pair of earrings I bought the other day from JC Penney. When I first saw them I just loved the unique shapes of them but my mom was saying they looked like a military patch or something. Then the other night at work, an old man was asking me about them and asking if my dad was in the military. Oh well, I still think they're cool looking besides their obvious military-esque aspect.

Who else loves Seneca Rising?

2011-02-23T12:52:00.000-08:00

Duncan Top $69 (also comes in coral)

Sion Tunic $92

Joni Button Down $88

Mate Tunic $174

I've loved Seneca Rising ever since I got one of their pieces in a Free People store this past summer. These are my favorite pieces from Planet Blue's new Seneca Rising Spring 2011 collection. I think it's pretty clear that I am craving more white in my wardrobe for the coming months.

I want you all to know that your comments are what keep me going! I really appreciate them more than words can describe.

Old and New

2011-02-09T14:33:00.000-08:00

I know that I have a giant collection of old magazines, as I'm sure a lot of people do, that I can never get rid of. I find myself periodically going through them and tearing out my favorite editorials/ads so here are some of my favorite older magazine pages.

Apparently this one is from Elle, since it says so in the top left corner. Betsey Johnson is such a cool, unique designer and I religiously buy her perfume. I love how they combined all of her interesting, beautiful products into one photo here.

From the feel of this page, I believe it was from an old H&M catalogue. I just love the peacock feathers and I feel that it's such a nice inspiration board.

These photos make me miss summer and want to go on a road trip. I just have always found them so lovely. By the way, they are from Seventeen magazine from July 2004 (notice the tag in the bottom right corner)! Wow!

Remember when MIA modeled fro Marc Jacobs? I've never been a really big fan of Marc Jacobs but I am in love with MIA - her look, her music, her attitude - so it made me extra giddy each time I'd flip open a magazine to see her in it.

This last old one is for Meg because she is obsessed with anything American flag, at least clothing wise. I thought it was so pretty how they made that vest!

Now here are some new photos, from the most recent Teen Vogue and Nylon. I noticed that both of them featured Georgia May Jagger, and I think she looks so beautiful in both shoots. I love her gap in the front of her teeth, little quirks like that are my favorite.

And lastly (because this post wasn't quite long enough) here is a photo of me dancing to Waka Waka by Shakira, and being happy about how long my hair has gotten!

What does anyone else do with their old ripped out magazine pages? I need some interesting way to store them!

Trend Alert!

2011-02-07T07:45:00.000-08:00

So I have been kind of nonexistent lately but good news, my dad is setting up a computer in his office just for me. One I can use temporarily while he's in the process of fixing mine. Now I'll be able to upload personal outfits and such!

In the meantime, I thought I'd share with you a trend that everyone seems to be into these days. Feathers! We know here at WP Culture, we're guilty of the trend.

Check out these beautiful hair extensions!

I stumbled upon Planet Blue's blog only to find out they are now specializing in feather hair extensions that are easy to remove and shower with! Unfortunately for those of us who do not live in the Malibu area, we do not have access to them. However, I've discovered clip-on hair accessories that can be found on the Planet Blue Store website.

Here's a clip on that's just as amazing as the extensions!

(Hair Clip, Planet Blue, $33)

Find the available feather hair accessories here.

and if you happen to live in the Malibu area, check out Planet Blue's blog post to find out more information on how to get your hands on them!

Enjoy, Meg.

Tendencies.

2011-02-02T11:28:00.000-08:00

One of my worst tendencies includes cutting my bangs when I am unhappy with them. Though I am happy to say that after a long long month of having to pin them back because I chopped them, they have finally grown back in so that I can wear them normal again! I was so excited that I felt it necessary to take an outfit photo. Which leads me to my second worst tendency, wearing all new items together. I just bought these two shirts last night, and of course I ended up pairing them together. It's like I can't wait a few days to wear each separately, I hate it! But, oh well.

T-Shirt: Behave

Button up tank worn as vest: BB Dakota

Jeans: BDG

Belt: Mom's

Necklace: Forever 21

Layering

2011-01-26T09:03:00.000-08:00

Just a quick outfit for today: Free People crop top layered over a lace tank I got from TJ Maxx with BDG jeans and a necklace I scored at a yard sale a few years ago.

Deals.

2011-01-24T19:58:00.000-08:00

Alright, I realize that these photos are really bad (phone) quality, but this is about the closest thing I'll be doing to a personal post for now. My Macy's doesn't carry a lot of my favorite brands, so usually when brands that my location doesn't carry are returned to that store, they put them all together. Lucky for me, I found the jackpot the other day.

This beautiful Free People top has panels of lace and crochet, and beading detail. It was originally $70, I got it for $34.

This Intimately FP bodycon dress was originally $68, got it for $15!

Material Girl by Madonna bodycon dress, originally $14, got it for $7.50

And the drumroll...a gorgeous FP jacket originally $128, I got it for $15! Yes, it's quite large on me (for a medium?) but with all the cash I saved I can certainly afford to get it taken in.

Cheers,

Meliss

Love what you see in the TriMirror.

2011-01-22T11:44:00.000-08:00

Have you ever had one of those days where you’re just unsure of every outfit you put on? Do you ever walk into a store to find the cutest item only to be iffy about buying it without that second opinion? Or have you ever had that moment where you buy the most fabulous outfit and you just want to share it with the world?

Well now you can, well, with the TriMirror world you can! This website allows us to upload photos of our fashion ideas, outfits, and recent buys/findings to share with people who can give us the “okay” or the “oh no!” We all have those friends who tell us we look good in everything when in reality we know “those” pants just don’t suit our body type or “those” shoes do not do our legs justice. With TriMirror fashion we can get those blunt opinions needed to find the perfect outfit for the day. When you know you look totally rocking, let people see it and receive feedback for your crafty work. You can also look at other posts to get ideas from other outfits and maybe you’ll give others awesome ideas for their next outfit!

Got yourself a smartphone? Awesome! Because TriMirror has an app downloadable for blackberry, iphone, and android. It’s perfect for on the go.
Don’t have a smartphone? That’s okay because you can still enjoy TriMirror on your pc or mac.

Black&Yellow? How about Black&White.

2011-01-19T15:23:00.000-08:00

There's just something about black and white that always catches my attention. Whether it's due to the timeless color scheme or the undying classy look that it achieves, I always find myself drooling over this quintessential combo. All of these wonderful picks come from the boutique Planet Blue.

This gorgeous dress takes a cool aztec print and pairs it with stripes! Mixing prints is one of my favorite things to do, lately, and this dress does it in a nicely subtle way. Not surprisingly, it is currently sold out, but here's to hoping that it'll come back in stock!

You can never go wrong with stripes, and this dress throws the classic stripe for a spin. I just love the way the stripes meet at different angles in the front and create a rouched-up look. This is definitely a unique piece that you won't be finding in any Forever 21 this season.

This gorgeous button down is another item that has me kicking myself when seeing that it is, indeed, sold out as well! Its deep v-neck front balances out the rest of the masculine shape and hat that they paired it with. I love the accessibility of this top, it's something that you can wear exactly like how the model did for a casual day, paired with heels and a statement necklace for a night out, or with slacks and a black blazer for work.

Hallelu Boutique

2011-01-16T10:16:00.000-08:00

Hallelu Boutique is one of my favorite online boutiques. Their store is located in North Carolina, but thankfully they have an online store available. Their styling just oozes effortless chic and their pieces are unlike any others. Not only do they have clothing on their website, but they also carry accessories, some of their best deals in my opinion. And best of all, they're not too expensive! I strongly urge you to check out both their website and facebook page, which they update almost daily with new items.

Wolf Spotting.

2011-01-12T13:06:00.000-08:00

Last Friday Meg and I went to see The Starting Line for their Holiday Show which was one of the only two shows they had planned for 2010 (it was originally scheduled for 12/26 but due to the blizzard was rescheduled). While we were watching one of the opening bands, Hit the Lights, Meg pointed out the bassist's t-shirt sported a wolf and I immediately proceeded to take a picture to share.

Not the best photo but you get the idea. Now I know some of you may be thinking, that's cool.. and it relates to your blog title.. but what's the point? Well I find it both mind boggling and funny that our generation has since become obsessed with the idea of wolves (mostly due to The Hangover) where we've started wearing clothing of wolves, considering our friends our wolfpack, and even naming this little old blog after it!

We were going to take outfit photos (with Burger King crowns, nonetheless) but since it was so cold out we ended up not being able to. However, I assure you they were quite dazzling.

Here's a picture I took of Kenny from The Starting Line. More can be found in a set on my flickr.

EDIT: Here's a perfect example of the adorable blogger Becky-May wearing a wolf t-shirt! Adore the way she styled it!

Chasing Wolves by Harper Smith

2011-01-09T11:13:00.000-08:00

These photos were taken by Harper Smith for the winter issue of Factory Magzine. Of course when I saw the title it instantly appealed to me but that was not the only thing that drew my attention. The vintage look and brilliant nature setting are very eye catching. Bonus points for the crushed velvet dress seen in the bottom photo (you know how much we love the velvet look from a post made earlier by our lovely Melissa). The outfits are plain amazing and I absolutely love all the black, of course I mean that in the cheeriest way!

Photo credit and the rest of the editorial can be found here.

Enjoy, Meg

I know this is belated...

2011-01-08T09:28:00.000-08:00

I realize that this is (a little) belated, but here are some of the gifts that were passed around this Christmas. The Chanel nailpolish was a gift for Meg from me (Meliss), the book was a gift from Laur to me (love it, by the way), and the Mac pigment was a gift from Meg to all of us (we each got a different color, I got Neo-Orange). If you've never heard of pigment before, apparently it's the coloring that goes into all makeup, so you can put it into clear nail polish, lipgloss, and even use it as eyeshadow and blush - depending on what color you get. I haven't used mine yet but I have a feeling I'll be trying it out today...

Handy Bottle Openers

2010-12-31T17:55:00.000-08:00

Considering the fact that it's New Years Eve and I am stuck home recovering from the flu, I thought it would be a cool idea to post some handy dandy bottle openers. Not only are they stylish and convenient, but they are perfect for ringing in the new year!

The Gospel According to Megan

2010-12-29T15:24:00.000-08:00

Two days before Christmas my wonderful HP Laptop crashed. It was truly a "bah humbug" moment and hopefully I will be able to get it restored. The point of the matter is I am temporarily using my dad's monsterous computer until then and will not be able to upload personal pics. Not being able to upload pictures onto this computer, I have created a collage of some of my favorite presents.
It may not be the most well put together collage you've seen but bear with me.

The Gospel According to Coco Chanel by Karen Karbo; Urban Renewal Kimono Jacket; Cheap Monday Patch Jeans; Chanel 440 Gold Lame Nail Polish; Kardashian Konfidential; Betsey Johnson Tights.

Those are only some of my favorites gifts. I am truly grateful for all my gifts and I could not be happier with them. I had a wonderful Holiday with my family and I hope you guys did as well.

You talk to the ceiling every day.

2010-12-27T13:52:00.000-08:00

These beauties are one of the gifts I got for christmas. Jessica Simpson Dany heels.

We got a little snow here the day after Christmas, so while locked inside the house I listened to some fitting music, painted my nails, and read Style by Lauren Conrad (another Christmas gift).

Some of my favorite parts of the book so far are the list of online Sample Sale websites and the loads of other websites in various categories it offers. It's also convinced me that I need to see a cobbler for my shoes and a tailor, asap.

This is my dog, Daisy. She likes to lay in front of the heating vent in this weather. And she wasn't happy about her Santa hat we got her for Christmas, but we thought she looked adorable.

And this is what I wore on Christmas. That's my cousin there behind me :) I look like I'm sitting on her lap, Santa style haha. White sweater: Charlotte Russe, Sequin Top: can't remember, Velvet Leggings: Joyce Leslie, Wanted Boots.

Velvet Crush.

2010-12-23T20:59:00.000-08:00

Recently I've been obsessing over velvet. I remember last year hearing that it would be really popular this winter, but I never believed it. Shame on me... Here are some items I've been lusting over.

Clockwise from top: Romper from Free People, Betsey Johnson Dress from Urban Outfitters, Bodycon dress from American Apparel, Leggings from American Apparel, Free People heels, Wedges seen on Jesse Jo Stark (unknown where from), and last but certainly not least the Jessica Simpson Dany heel.
