Les is More: A Beautiful Lie

Gosh, I would love to know the production company of this video... It's perfect. From a technical point of view, a visual point of view, everything. And I would know. Not because I'm a critic but because of my background in Video Production, which I'll tell you guys about someday. But today is not that day. Therefore I digress...

This video is focused on the greatly talented Ryan Leslie. If you are unfamiliar with Ryan Leslie and his works, he's a producer/singer/songwriter/writer/amazing creative soul. In the video above, he poses a question: What would you do if it was your last day on earth? And he wastes no time showing the audience what he would be doing: Concocting a song in front of our eyes, a song he calls "A Beautiful Lie". The song itself is really good (not that any given Ryan Leslie song isn't good) and altogether the visual inspires. At least, it inspired me to do what I love MORE so that I can achieve true happiness. What does this video say to you? Tell me below in the comments.

PS- There are reasons, very good ones, why I haven't updated. But I promise I'll try my best to explain them later. For now, this is it.

Homecoming... My sweet mistake...

It is officially FALL. You know how I know? No, it's not the falling leaves (there aren't falling in Georgia yet), it's not the cold (I'm a born New Yorker, the worst is around 69 as a high), it's not the lonely tweets on Twitter (for some reason, most people in the US get lonely when the weather turns cold and such is the birth of "cuffin season" and they use Twitter to express it), nor is it the fact that everybody is starting to bundle up. Want to know how I know it's officially fall?

It's because it's HOMECOMING WEEK!

 For all who don't know what that is, Homecoming is a huge event in high schools and colleges, built around the football games. This is the week when everyone chooses to show their school spirit and there are themed days meant to express your school spirit. Monday's theme was TWIN day and although I didn't completely adhere to the rules (I was a triplet!), I think I showed my school spirit really well. My good friend decided that the twin code was a white blouse, black pencil skirt and black heels. I had to improvise, not having a black pencil skirt, due to my ferocious hate for skirts in general. Using a old dress, I folded it in half and was really surprised to see that it worked out well. But, I hope to have looks for the rest of the week for you guys, as everyday a new challenge is presented... And I plan to meet them with style...

P.S. The pictures are limited because my camera continually died on me as I was taking them... I think I got all the good ones. But YOU guys JUDGE! Comment below and tell me what you think!

Autumn is coming...

I look so mean...

Close up of the coat

It's coming quick. Fall, I mean. Summer is running away and we can't capture it. I miss it. :( But, now that it's fall. Autumn, such a beautiful time. Leaves falling, beautiful scenery to look at. I've had to adjust my wardrobe into fall mode, a change I don't mind, but I do wish that it was summer still. Possibly because of the amazing summer I had. But that's another story and another post. I digress. This outfit was based largely on the jacket. It's actually my brother's, but he was trying to give it away so I rescued it from the pile and made it my own. I had to belt it to get it to fit, but other than that, it's a really good jacket (although I am taking it to the tailor to get more fitted in the waist). I wore it with a thermal, my skinny cargos, and gold kicks.
P.S. I looked really mean in the majority of these pictures and it was truly hard to choose pictures. So that's why there's so little.

Introducing... DORIS!!!

 Today is the most exciting day of the year! It's the start of NYFW!!!! Unfortunately, I'm not there to celebrate FNO (which makes me REALLY REALLY REALLY sad) but... I CAN find ways to celebrate on my own, like today's outfit. This outfit is centered around my amazing hat that I love so much, I had to name it. Her name is Doris Audrey Marilyn, named for the old time feel I get when I wear "her", if you wondered. But anyways, the hat was a HUGE hit. Every time I turned around, someone was complimenting it and/or trying it on... including the guys (I even think my sociology teacher tried it own... Although he denies it vehemently). And Doris could go without some other classic pieces, so I paired it with a peacoat and my flats (that I'm starting to notice, I wear too often).

Oh and I don't know if you guys noticed, but this is my first time shooting in black and white. I think I did really well. But you tell me! How did I do? Do you like the photos? Leave a comment and tell me!

Art inspires art. At least, that's what I believe. As an aspiring fashion designer, I draw inspiration from many, many places, including but not limited to ancient works of art, photography, writings, and just overall culture. And culture is something that R+ I Creative does best. R + I Creative is a video production company that does some of the best visually simulating, interesting documentaries around. From "Influencers", a short documentary that explores the origin of trends and their creators, to "The Pursuit of Cool", an exploration of the definition of cool, R + I Creative produces videos that inspire.

Tokyo Rising | Palladium Boots Documentary- Hosted by Pharrell Williams

This video... I usually don't blog videos (excluding the ones on Tumblr), but this video was so compelling and inspiring and fun, I decided I couldn't deprive my readers of this. Put on by Palladium Boots and hosted by Pharrell Williams, the six part series of short documentaries are focused on the multifaceted Japanese culture, where they discuss topics from their recent disasters, to their art, fashion, and overall culture. I viewed these in a sense of awe, awe of the depth of the Japanese people. Such a fascinating culture! After seeing these videos, I am incredibly inspired and feening (more than usual) to visit Japan to actually experience this incredible culture myself.

Turban Love

Absolute favorite shot of the day!

I don't know if you guys noticed but I was having a really good picture day!

School is starting to heat up... The assignments have begun to pour in... Albeit slowly, but you can definitely feel the feeling of a carefree summer slipping through our fingertips... But I digress. It's time to shape our futures and I have to play Michelangelo... This outfit was an attempt to look professional in the hot weather and I think I did a pretty good job, under the circumstances. The turban is something I threw on for trend busting purposes. I'm officially sold!!! This location in my pictures isn't new, it's the lawn of my backyard. I was eaten ALIVE by the bugs and my neighbor's dogs were oddly interested. But anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed, Leave a comment and let me know!

Love,

Dream.
