Party Look 2 by duhveenah featuring Forever21

Some looks I created for my cousin's upcoming bday dinner...all from Forever 21!

Saturday: Went to my cousin's baby shower, the theme was "Neverland." It was quite the magical experience...







Sunday: Went to a friend's wedding at the Ambassador Mansion and Gardens. The bride was beautifully stunning and so was the location.

Gray ruffle bib tank

My friend Alison asked me to create an outfit based on this top from Urban Outfitters, and I thought it would be a fun challenge. It's a gray ruffle bib tank by Kimchi Blue and it was on sale via their website. Unfortunately, it was sold out by the time I tried to view the tank, but I still thought it would be fun to work an outfit around this top.

What to wear with gray ruffle top featuring Christian Louboutin shoes

I decided to go with a tougher look to balance out the youthful and feminine ruffles. Since the top is rather long, I found this Alexander McQueen belt to give it more rock n' roll. With the detailing on the shirt, I wanted to find a simple necklace that wouldn't distract your attention away from the top, so I chose a multi-strand crystal necklace. The jacket is by ABS and it reminded me of the much-coveted Balmain crystal studded "Michael Jackson" jacket. Since the outfit and accessories were all pretty much monochromatic, I picked a red Lanvin bag and red sole Louboutins to give the outfit some added color. Soo...this is the end result, enjoy!

Casual Date

Casual Date by duhveenah featuring True Religion jeans

I was bored one day and created an outfit for my friend Michelle on Polyvore. Such a fun and creative website.

Red and yellow make me mellow.

I hate to be redundant but I really dislike Mondays. While working on my research paper, I had to regain my sanity through photographing eye candy. Coincidentally, the color theme today happens to be red and yellow.



I don't normally wear lipstick, but I've been wanting to find a nice shade of red that complements my skin tone, and I wanted it for cheap. A recent trip to Wal-Mart got me just that, and for under 5 bucks! I love the detailing of the stamp "Loreal-" reminds me of the Chanel lipstick, but for far less. I'm a sucker for details.



On our last (and I really mean last) flight on Delta, the only perk were the Biscoff cookies. The delectable crunchy cookies had a hint of cinnamon with a sugary texture. Again, Wal-Mart saves the day. For $2, I was able to buy an entire pack of these delicious Belgium cookies.



Rasberries. We got 6 boxes for $9 at Costco, what a steal. Normally, I'll go to the grocery store and just drool at them because they're beyond my reach ($3.99 a box? eek), but thank God for economy-sized bulk warehouses!



My peonies are slowly wilting, but I find this process absolutely beautiful. The color has faded and the petals are falling, but there's something magical about the process. Beauty in death? Reminds me of heaven.



I bought a pack of these amazingly wonderful dark chocolate candy bars by Ferrero in France, you know the people who make the "Ferrero Rochers" everyone regifts during Christmas time? Anyway, apparently they are limited edition and they don't sell them online. I'm down to my last two bars, which I'm saving for absolute chocolate emergencies. If you ever find these, I will love you forever and eveerrr...

Random: I finally signed up for Polyvore and created a "Look" for my cousin Sarah. This site is pretty cool because you can create your own "looks" using real clothing items that are sold online and in stores! Fashionistas, check it out!
