New Japanese street fashion trend - Gothic Lolita

Filed under: fashion — marina @ 6:35 pm

I’ve always been pretty fascinated with Japan’s fashion trends but this one is just a bit too out there for me..although, I think it’s pretty cool that they have so much fun with fashion!

Heres a picture of two “Gothic Lolitas” in Tokyo:

-Thanks Barry for bringing this to my attention ;)
*On another note, I can hardly wait for Halloween so that I can dress up as something strange!

Out on the town…in Society for Rational Dress

Filed under: fashion — marina @ 12:40 pm
Hey guys, just thought I’d share some pics of me and my friends out and about.  Im wearing the Society for Rational Dress Twist Tank, which has become one of my favorite tops.  Its so soft and comfy…and the open back got lots of compliments!  So, heres some pics of us having dinner at Katana and then just hanging at the Roosevelt.  You should recognize Sofia and Irina, who model for the site in addition to being my best friends ;)

Trend Alert: Cameo Necklaces

Filed under: fashion — marina @ 5:26 am
So a few months back, I was desperately searching for accessories I love.  I like to dress pretty plain, but I love to spruce whatever I’m wearing up with a cool necklace or ring.  Candace Ang jewelry popped out at me..because its fun, hip and different.  One of the pieces I loved most is the cameo necklace:

Its just different than most things I’ve seen out lately.  Some time goes by and guess who’s seen wearing it…

She’s wearing it in white, I personally prefer the black ;)
Elle.com has also recognized the trend that’s developing…and featured this same necklace on their site, as well as shopmava.com for being the online store that ordered it way before the mania hit! hehe…sorry, I just get excited.
