Is that a fanny pack I just saw?

You have got to be kidding me. Lately, I, unfortunately, have been noticing fanny packs. I, in all honesty cannot believe that this is an actual "trend". While sitting in my chem class (because everyone totally day-dreams during science...)I realized that this was a topic that had to be talked about. Whenever I think of "fanny packs" I think of neon windbreakers, nylon tracksuits, and suburban mothers who don't want to carry a purse. People, such as Rihanna (cringe :/...sorry its the truth) have been photographed wearing fanny packs. And while browsing on the Internet I saw that not only are some people saying fanny packs are "back" but, Marc Jacobs is now making them for Louis Vuitton. I feel like sending Marc a literate message filled with different metaphors describing the pain I feel while seeing this monstrosity continue. I love all of your opinions, What do you think? Should these make a come back? Or even better if you know someone who wears them, how do you feel when your in public with them. In the West Coast, it doesn't seem to be an issue, thankfully, but an elderly couple across the street wears them and I give them a pass because they have restrictions others do not have.


&& Like I said in my older posts here is some of the collages, paintings, and spray paint stencils I made for art class.

Hola Hola Hola Hola

So, I have been EXTREMELY busy, and have been planning for my Art shows this week. On Thursday, my school is having an art show, and then on Saturday I have my showcase that has another art show... sooo I have decided that I am going to take some photos, and then post them so you guys can see some of my work. I am putting in 2 photos into my schools art show, as well as me and a girl in my art class who designs are making a display in a case with her and my clothes as well as vintage renewels. And on Saturday I am putting in 3 photos into the show. My central idea being a sequence of action shots with a background of train tracks and cloudy skies.

So look for that probably on Saturday night or Sunday (:
&& Hope everyone has an amazing rest of the week, I know for me school is winding down for this year. Cant wait for summer. Goodbye to my wonderful followers, and to those who are not, follow me, and join the maddness (:

Goodbye,
Domino

Here's one of many options for a girl's outfit:




&& Here is a good Men's summer option:



I really this year am liking the whole beachy trend, but as always I have to add my edgy spin on it. Tell me what you think, and what trends you like and/or dislike this summer.

Until Later,

Words cannot describe how sorry I am

[BE FORE-WARNED LONG RAMBLE/APOLOGY AHEAD]
Goodness, it has been FOREVER. Most of you probably thought I had quit. Well thats not within my repertoire. Those of you who read my blog know that before this incredibly long hiatus I was very sick and hospitalized, well, after fighting that I had to rebuild my immune system and get well. Thus being the reason for my non-existent posting. So, again, I truly apologize, but I am going to continue blogging and pursue my ideas I had before. But I did want your opinions. So, if you could please leave a comment telling me what you would like to see that would be great (:
Be ready for another post later in the day about my favorite fashion/art magazines and why I love them...........

Love you lots,
Domino

Inspirational thoughts, leading to an all out epiphany.

As I was pondering ideas for my friends prom dress that I am making, I thought... what could I do to make my blog even better? And I realized that you guys know nothing about me, yes I did a Q&A but very few people asked questions (thanks to those who did), so I didnt want to do a whole other Q&A post cause that'd be just weird but I figured you guys could ask your questions here and I would answer them in my next post or in the comments. Ask as many as you want.

Also Im going on a trip next weekend to visit some family and Im going to make sure and post pictures of some of my adventures, the clothes I buy...if any, as well as some unique street style I find. So look for that.

And if you guys could also comment and give me some feed back on what you would like to see on my blog, or what you think I could do better. And please remember to "follow" me I'd really appreciate it, and when I get to 15-20 followers I'll do the vintage clothes giveaway thingy I talked a bout a few post back. Have a wonderful Saturday, && little less than a week until Alice & Wonderland.

p.s. For some odd reason I have the beach boys stuck in my head...odd considering I havent listened to the beach boys in forever. Anyways, sorry for the ramble.

Farewell,
Domino

Theres something about Georgia

Magazine covers, ad campaigns, beauty contracts, and more. That even, only listing some of the things this amazing person has accomplished.

As the daughter of the legendary ROCK GOD Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall, Georgia May Jagger is literally one of my main muses for my designs and one of the often used sources for my insiration.

A long time ago I had the pleasure of actually meeting her at a Rolling Stones concert I went to, and was able to get backstage to see Mick because my Mom's boyfriend was able to get us some passes. When we went to get my & my brothers picture taken with Mick, Georgia was there to see the show as well. Honestly though, the sad part is, when I met her I was a lot younger(as was she) so I dont remember every detail as I wish I did... how cruel life can be.

Just in the last couple years she has been nominated for a "Model of the Year" award, done ad campaigns for Hudson Jeans, and Versace. She booked a Huge deal with Rimmel cosmetics, and landed the cover of British Vogue. She is on a roll, and you will definatly be seeing Georgia in a lot more campaigns and ads.

Au Revoir,

Just a few of my Fall'10 RTW favorites

Now let's be honest here. I know, especially for me, it is extremely difficult to pick my absolute favorites(of anything) becuase I always have so many. But for this Fall '10 RTW post I had a lot of pieces that I liked from the shows so far, so I decided to take only one piece from some of the shows I liked, and explain why I liked them so much. The funny part is, I had this all planned out without realizing the magnitude of excitement I felt for the Proenza Schouler show... and if you've seen it you'll understand my dilemma... ALL of the pieces in the show are utter GENIUS! After thinking about it, I decided that I would do a different post dedicated just to the Proenza show:). I apologize for the little off track rant there...but it was necessary. Also, bare in mind that these are SOME of my favorites and that there are a lot of other amazing pieces&shows(I just didn't want it to be a 2-page post). So without further ado,

Topshop Unique; I love this vintage airline stewardess/military feel.

Diesel Black&Gold; mixes 2 of the biggest trends at the moment, leather&embellishments and the shoes are so cool!

marc by marc jacobs; the lace top is beautiful & the pants are tailored to perfection.

Marchesa; wonderfully constructed, you WILL be seeing this dress on the red carpet of something.

Charlotte Ronson; wouldn't have caught my eye without the velvet pants,& the top is really interesting.

Tommy Hilfiger; the outfit was okay, but the coat is what stole my heart, totally to die for.

3.1 Phillip Lim; 1st off I ♥ Tao Okamoto, 2nd off I love this idea of a train cut diagonally. And the embellishments and detail in this outfit is extraodinary, along with a jacket thats chanel-esque.

Rodarte; when I first saw this collection I was very surprised. Normally the shows are very dark and sexy, but this season the collection was almost whimsical. But once I heard the inspiration behind the collection, I fell in love with the whole sha-bang. The knits and construction is so incredible. Totally Inspiring.

Thanks for reading, coming soon: The Proenza Schouler post, and keep commenting/asking questions on the Q&A post.
