D.I.Y Style (Kinda)


I Bought this shirt at Urban Outfitters of 2 girls licking an ice cream
cone, and I thought they looked forced and FAKE. loll
And i was also feeling like an angsty teenage girl that
had black paint that I needed to get rid of so...


So I made a mess!

PREEN F/W 2012: QuickReview.

Can PREEN Designers Junstin Thorton and Thea Bregazzi do
any wrong? No. Atleast not in my eyes.
Fashion shows tell a story. I would hate for someone to
want to wear my designs, but have no care for the story they are
telling as they walk down the street promoting my name.
Everytime I see fashion I wonder what the designers
thoughts were as they were creating: What were their feelings.
Justin and Thea chose children's author Beatrix Potter
as slight inspiration for their F/W line, but I think it was more
then the books/author that inspired them.
I believe it was childhood itself that inspired the patterns, colors,
and towering heals before your eyes.

When you imagine your Autumn days as
a child what comes to mind?

I think of the orange, green, and brown midwestern
Fall leaves brushing past my feet. Standing on my tip-toes
trying to catch that glow bug but never reaching.
My mothers fur, and my last days without a heavy coat!
I see all of these things in this collection, but
then again that just me.


After the leaves have brushed into the street and the temp
has droped below comfort weather; The sky gets dark
and so do our clothes because winter has come once more.

Those shoes are to die for correct?
Well they're all a part of the PREEN
collection at ALDO.
The Preen show is one of my favorites every year
for a reason; I hate dissapointment.
PREEN never dissapoints.

Celeb Street Style: R.K. Follese

Some may and some may not know who Hot Chelle Rae is.
Those who don't have no idea who Ryan Keith Follese is,
but those of you who know of the band have surely noticed the
lead singer of hits like "Tonight, Tonight" and "I like it like that"('s)
well put together style.

R.K's style to me is so Hipster 2.0.
He wears a lot of things that can fit easily into the
hipster category in the style manual, but with a almost
unapologetic sexual ENGLISH edge to it.



And my god the boy knows how to find the right pair of jeans
and knows how to choose all the right accessories to bring
his well thought out (but never forced) look to reality.
Don't get me wrong I love a great stylist but I love
when someone knows what they want to wear and what they look
good in and they find a middle ground by themselves.






I genuinely think that men of our generation are
somewhat afraid of fashion. Obviously not in a literal way,
but afraid to take chances with their style. Which is
actually insane to me seeing as though most of
the lines between male and female fashion have been
erased. We live in such an androgynous world; Its time to
take chances. Just like the über stylish R.K!

Do you like Ryan's style?
If so, guys take notes, and more chances.

WordsOfWisdom: Friendship


Ive been working on myself; my health, my mind, and my thoughts.
All of the above needed change...well not so much a change..
I needed growth. Taking a lesson from Queen Oprah Im doing my own
Lifeclass of sorts. I decided since I tell you guys everything I might as
well share this also. If you choose not to read so beit there are plenty
other post that will interest you! :)
FRIENDSHIP
Knowing who to keep around and who to let go.

A saying that I keep very close and dear to my heart; That has helped me through so much pain & confusion is, "So as the seasons change remember, people change just as swiftly and without warning".

 
This saying reminds me that as we go down our chosen paths in life there are those who will be right beside us, and then those who appear to be beside us but are looking for the nearest exit to leave you. Those who believe that selfish ways will make for a better life for them: Those who are truly confused.

 
I was told recently by a friend, "right now is the time in your life
to be selfish", and when I heard this I couldn't disagree more.
Self preservation is fine by all means put yourself first. But, I think a lot of people confuse the two. Self preservation is always making sure ones self is secure AND THEN worrying about others if you so choose to (which as a human you should). Selfishness is being secure and having more then you could ever need and still wanting more without caring about the needs of others. Those are my own definitions but I think Im making my point. If not here is the sum of this post: A friend should never think of being selfish. I think a Selfish-Friend is an oxymoron. How can you call yourself a friend if the only person you care about being happy, and secure in life is yourself? How can you expect me to love and trust you as a person if I know you'll sell me out if it'll get you a step closer to where you want/think you want to be? Ill let you figure that out for yourself.

 
But I leave you guys with this.

 
There are people whom come into your life at the right time when you need them most. When you're at your lowest and they're the only ones whom can lift you up. Treat them well, because you will remember them forever and if you do them wrong you'll remember that forever also.

Model of the Month: Josh Tuckley


D-Magazine, Comme De Garcons, Topman,
Wonderland Mag, & Pop Magazine all huge names correct?
Yes, so it takes a seasoned model to land these jobs correct?
No, only modeling for a year now Josh Tuckley has all of these jobs
under his 28" belt and he's still going strong.

I prefer a certain type of male model.
Sure handsome can get the door opened,
but what keeps you in the room?
I like someone that has personality; personality so strong
they dont need to speak for you to hear them;
they dont need to scream to grab you attention.
They just need to ...
show up and they own the room.
Yes, thats what every model should have,
but male models more so then the women.

STATS:
HEIGHT: 188 - 6' 2"
BUST: 86 - 34"
WAIST: 71 - 28"
HAIR COLOR: BROWN
EYE COLOR: BLUE
JOSH: PERFECT.

Agyness Deyn for SALE?




British it-girl/model Agyness Deyn is selling her Williamsburg,Brooklyn
Apartment, wanna buy it? Yeah, me too loan me 2.5 million dollars!
A lot of people have been critiquing the decor of her Brooklyn abode,
but at the risk of soundng like some artsy-fartsy poser I'm going to go against
those people and say I like it: It has character. I'm tired of seeing the well
Overdone "Modern" look everywhere. I'm sure a girl that has a job as a professional
hanger wearing other peoples creations all the time needed artistic freedom
for once. Sure, its all over the place, but it blends well.
Creativity at its finest.

Below is the apartment/loft space.
If you can afford it I say go for it!

ThePlastiqueLife&Style Awards 2011

I decided to do a little 2011 life&style award thing-y for the blog. Best dressed, worst dressed, best surgery, worst reality show, etc.
Worst Celeb news of 2011:
Finding out Amy Winehouse passed away



This was by far the worst celebrity news I got all year. Amy's passing genuinely came as a surprise to me, it wasnt as surprising to many others, but none the less I was baffled by her death.
I was preparing for new sultry & soulful ballads from the recovering "Everything" addict, but recording a new album wasn't in the cards for Amy. No, she did not die from an overdose. No, she did not fall back into her old patterns. She was actually doing everything by the book. Her old ways just didn't want to let her body go.

Amy will be missed but her music lives on in everyone that whistles her tune while shopping, and remembers "Damn, she was really good at what she did".

article, but until then here are a couple pics to hold us!


She's obviously a PLASTIQUE-GIRL!


She can't be human.

3.1Phillip Lim MEN S/S 2012


   Phillip Lim one of my favorite designers by
has out done himself with his S/S men's 2012 collection.


 Mr. Lim has a certain way of letting his customer know
that they are appreciated; taking time with 
little details that not only look good, but can make 
you feel good in ways that not every garment can.

   
The look is so modern I feel as if Ive been living in the past,
and I need to catch up; But there is also a little 90's nostalgia
in every jean jacket in the collection.  

His S/S Men's collection is very active while still
holding on to that relaxed/chill factor that Lim is known for.





I can go on for days about his genius,
but Ill leave by saying I simply LOVE IT.

What I'm Listening to: Alex Ludovico


Chicago up and coming artist Alex Ludovico 
has just released his new album 
"Fame Kills", and it's amazing!

"People often reach a crossroads in their life. When it's time to make serious decisions 
about where they need to head next. For some, its obvious. College, real job, wife,
 2.4 kids, and the picket fence. For alot more of us, it is not that simple."

                                                 " This album, Fame Kills, is my document of reaching
 of that crossroads. And I how I dealt with it. Drugs."

 Every track is named after a deceased celebrity
per se the opening track "Kurt Donald Cobain" whom
most know as the lead singer of the band Nirvana. 

  Alex has multiple songs that could easily be played
on the radio or while you're taking a shower
plug up your ipod dock and blast one of my faves
Ken caminiti which feat fellow chicago
artist Young Live!


Fame Kills is deff a must download,
so below show your support! 
Btw the download is FREE!

Photographers We Love: Brandon Lundby

 Something you guys might not know about me is
that I love photography, which means that I
appreciate a good photographer this is one I love.

(Brandon)

   Brandon is an magnificent photographer
that  brings out the beauty in all of his subjects.

"There are some photographers that if you tell them to
take a picture of a duck they'll give you a picture of a duck;
Brandon will make you believe you're seeing a swan.
HE'S JUST THAT AMAZING WITH A CAMERA"
It's true and he's only 17.


   Below you will see a couple pictures from
Brandon's fashion photography work.
Plus a question I asked and his answer.


Q) what made you want to become a photographer?
 Has it always been a dream? or more a spur of the moment thing?

A) It was a gradual movement. I've always had a passion for
anything visually striking which is probably why I started with landscape
 photography, in fact I didn't even enjoy photographing people when I began.
There was never a moment when I decided that I was a "professional photographer" it just
happened slowly and I'm still gradually going to strive to get better with more equipment,
creative concepts and working with other great artists.
 
(BELOW ARE FEW OF MY FAVE PHOTOS)


BTW Brandon is a Hollister model! lol

CONTACT BRANDON:

A little SELF PROMOTION:
 Brandon's work is amazing I'm proud
of what he's done so far and I can't
wait to see more in the future.
