Tumblr Tuesday: Sinister type and that dude I want to dress like

I collect a lot of (mostly visual) inspiration on my Tumblr–pictures of fashion, graphic design, art, interiors, the occasional sarcastic/intellectual quote, and various other bits and pieces I’d like to remember. I’d also like to share those things with you! Pencils can be romantic; fruity, summery art; yet another beautiful all-black spread from Italian Vogue (perhaps some day black models will be integrated into multiple! non-themed! multiracial! spreads and it won’t be a Big Deal);...

Red, no pink

Fashion Without Guilt is a fun site (with a very attractive and familiar layout!) that focuses on affordable fashion, beauty,...

How to: Get dressed up, quick!

Smack dab in the middle of the holiday season, we’re all bound to be invited to a few parties. I usually like to take time to plan and prepare for such events, but last weekend things went a bit differently. I’ll present a possible scenario* in the hope that my experience helps you.
