alice in wonderland raunched up...

hey loves!!!
i promised myself ((& you all)) that i wasn't gonna  be one of those who disappear after opening up a blog...& i have done the exact opposite.  but you know what?!  i've been pounding the pavement--i've been grindin' HARD!!  today I do have 2 posts merged into 1--my fit & a photo shoot that my team designed, styled, organized, etc. ((they did have their own photographer though--Drew Ambrose who is also the guitar member of the band TASTING GRACE)). 

the theme was "Alice in Wonderland"...here are some our behind the scenes, point & shoot camera, pics.

Bev was on make-up of course & as always she killed it.  this beauty here is Elise Manuel & she played the part of the "Harajuku Mouse"

next we have Jenna G-love ((the lead singer of the group TASTING GRACE)) as the "Mad Hatter"...check me out holding that eyelash down--the most important job of the day

here we have Theresa as "the Queen of Hearts"

 

 finally, we have Maggie as a not so innocent "Alice"

check out some more behind the scenes flicks-- but c have to credit where it is due first!  Kris designed the dress that that the queen wore & did the styling of Alice.  Everette Brothers produced the shoot and recruited all these beautiful ladies.  and I did hair.

 

and now for some of the professional final product, true photographer shots...

 

and...

i have also decided to incorporate my look of the day!  so quickly...i found the headband at Forever21 with my dynamic duo & i had to have it because it matched the skirt which i purchased ((also from Forever21 about a year prior but never wore)).  the shoes are my Forever21 booties which have been featured before & the shirt is from H&M.  i threw on some pearls & a big gaudy ring & neon orange nail polish to take away some of the innocence & simplicity. my wardrobe has been kinda limited since i've been crashing with the parentals but i think it came together pretty well.

 

all get wasted...

hey lovers!!
ok, so my husband & i ((& a few friends)) decided to hit Atlantic City for a night of fun.  we were celebrating out 2 year wedding anniversary & we had a semi-decent night ((a whole other story LOL)). Either way we decided to hit up Harrah's Pool, a night club. 

this is what it looks like from the outside of course-from the view of our hotel room ((from another time I went)). 

 i didn't take as many pics of myself as i had desired, but what the hell, the few that i have works well. my ensemble is a total compilation of items new & old. 

 the dress is from H&M

the vest is from Express

the gloves are from Aldo shoes

the purse is from the limited

the shoes are from Forever 21

sooo...i really && truly only have one solo shot & here it is!!  i do want to apologize for the limitations & it was my intention to get a few good shots buuuut a few good shots had my focus elsewhere LOL

i  also decided to include some pics of my accessories & my make-up...

below are MAC's 'Vegas Volt" lipstick

MAC's "Expensive Pink" eye shadow

MAC's "Blacktrack" the fluid line

MAC's studio fix fluid  ((all thanx to Bev's creative eye))

Maybelline's "Blackest Black" Great Lash mascara

not shown--i also used Rimmel London's "Fix & Perfect" foundation primer && MAC's "Lip Glass".

i also decided to include some pics of the night club...the only advice I have if you decide to go here is to NOT where shoes that can be ruined by water.   there is a huge pool & there's water all over the ground surrounding it--which cannot be avoided.   my friend wore taupe suede pumps & they are RUINED!!

bad weather cute outfit...

greetings to you all...if I even have any friends/fans/followers yet! I could be talking to myself for all i know. LOL. yet, i do know that building a fan base takes time & i PROMISE that my team & i will continue to make posts in hopes that you beautiful guys & gals are listening, reading, & enjoying!!

 well, I am posting a few pics from yesterday..which was a terrible day to wear what i chose to.  i checked the weather ((as I always do)) but my iPhone's weather source spoon fed me BS on a platter.  as soon as i headed down the parkway, the clouds started to roll in & the raindrops started.  this intro was required because i decided to find a nice shelter to take my pics...which ended up being my laundry room in the basement.   so, i must apologize for the unglamorous scenery in advance ((my husband said it looks like i took my pics in the hood..whatever that means)).  needless to say i became quite conscious of my background & contemplated recreating the look in a place more scenic. then i just figured...what the hell!  if the environment throws you off so you cannot get the full effect, then once again i apologize & will do much better next time.  so without further delay...

the blazer which is 3/4 sleeve was purchased at H&M ((one of my favorite stores))

 the jean dress was also purchased at H&M from last spring

the stockings were from Express

the purse is vintage ((Good Will))

 
& the boot are faux suede which i purchased a few years back from 1 of those stores that sell shoes from lines such as wanted...what am i getting at?  i have no clue who made them!

here are a few more pics of me in my laundry room...

 

& finally!! a view from behind ((a back shot...LOL)) 

 

this look is totally simple to recreate & make your own IF you like & if you don't please don't hesitate to let me know why you're hatin' on me! LOL.  but, seriously, send me some suggestions: how would you have made it different?  better?  email me your recreations if you would like & i could post them on here as well..yeah I'm gonna let you all get your shine on if you'd like.  the email once again is CERTIFIEDkei@gmail.com
peace && Blessing--Kei <3
