Tribal Fusion Belly Dance: Sharon Kihara

So earlier last month I blogged about my interest in trying out tribal belly dancing and I finally invested in a DVD called Tribal Fusion Bellydance With Sharon Kihara: Technique and Conditioning. I thought I would give all of you who might be interested yourselves a little review because I'm not sure if it's available for rental anywhere, I had to take a risk and just buy it. Only $13.49 on Amazon!

If you haven't had experience with belly dance or aren't familiar with learning choreography I wouldn't recommend this one but is you ARE then it's perfect! The gorgeous Sharon combines yoga and belly dance technique for a great overall workout the first half of the disk. The second half is separated into a 3 part combination sequence and later brought together to create a BEAUTIFUL dance routine that I've had a blast learning. The following video gives a great preview of the routine you would learn. Let me know if you decide to try it out. Promise it's worth the $13 bucks!

Remember Her?

I don't know how many of you remember the Lula magazine that had these images a year or two ago, but I remember them clear as day. When I stumbled across them at !? I was so excited because I was so absolutely captivated by them, and still am, when I opened the first pages of that Lula. I think I'm just mostly jealous that this model has pretty much the cutest facial expressions EVER! Aren't you? She's like a grown up Shirley Temple! 

Little Dizzle Premiered This Weekend

The film that I assisted with costume design on The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle had its premier this past weekend at SIFF and I had no idea! I'm so bummed that I missed it! Anyways I've talked about my experience before...but here's the updated trailer that's much better. Hope you all go to see it when it's finally in theaters. 

Oh and p.s. it seems that I'm still left out of the credits....ugh...after all the time I spent working on it!

More Druzy Jewelry! And This Time Their Cheap!

For those of you who have been following for a while now you know that I LOVE druzy and geode jewelry...a lot. Here and here are older posts with more. And thanks to Bleach Black I've discovered some that are actually all under $40. So check out the Earth Relics Jewelry Company to find one that suits your own unique tastes. There are beyond amazing selections....and honestly I'm still not over the prices...here are a few of my favorites...Enjoy!

The one below is a fossilized dinosaur egg! How cool is that?

Wildfox By Whitehorse Couture

Why does Wildfox By Whitehorse Couture have to be so expensive?! So cuteeee

Swimsuit FOUND

Hurray I'm way ahead of the summer season this year because I just found two great bathing suits! The first is the Betsey Johnson "Rockin' Robin" suit and the second is the one from Victoria Secret which I got an sale for a total of $30! Which is even cheaper than it is online AND it was the last one! SO excited to find such a great deal because my swimsuit that's lasted for me for the past 4 years finally wore itself out and I have the hardest time finding suits that fit. When I wear it I feel like I should be shakin' my hips to "Beach Blanket Bingo". Victoria's is really having an amazing sale right now on their suits so if you're looking for one that's

 definitely my suggestion. Good luck! 

I Don't Even Know What To Do....

So I'm supposed to be going to bed right now and get some sleep for a big final I have tomorrow but....I just saw these new Nike liberty print dunks that are supposedly oh-so-exclusive. I don't know what to do...they are PERFECT! A friend of mine once said that my bed looks like a bouquet puked on it (meaning it's just covered in a million different old lady flower prints) and then I see these shoes and it's almost like I could just be wearing my bed around with me all day long! 

Why do they have to be limited edition! Why do they have to be $100??? I wish wish wish I could own a pair...since I wrote about this right before sleep I'm hoping I'll get to wear them at least in my dreams...cross your fingers...night! 

Oh and by the way, the ones I'll be dreaming about are the patchwork ones but I'd be happy with any!

Conundrum: Which One?

Okay so I need your opinion....which do you think of these tees and which do you like best? I can't resist these they are so awesome plus they're only $20! A steal right? Find them at Wowch.

P.S.- this one isn't for sale anymore :( I would have boughten it in a second!

N.E.E.T March '09 Issue

Yay so happy that N.E.E.T online magazine has just put out a new issue for March '09! The last one was put out in December and since then I've been growing a little impatient to be honest. But now all that is behind me...check out the newest issue here!

If you're not yet familiar with N.E.E.T magazine, it's a independent virtual collection of all the best new Etsy finds, vintage clothing shops, and odds and ends, plus every month the fashion spreads just get better and better in my opinion. My experience with N.E.E.T is that I NEVER go away without finding at least 10 new crafters to watch and drooling over at least a dozen vintage dresses I'd love to own. And the best part is that whenever you seen something you like, just click on the link and it will open in a new page so you can shop and browse the mag at the same time! So go go go right now and you'll be so happy you did. 

Marc By Marc Jacobs Fall '09

So I haven't been too keen on the Marc by Marc Jacobs line for the past few years with all the clean lines and stripes. It had gone from a line of layered grungy items to just too straight for my tastes. But the new Fall '09 Fashion Week show got my attention! Everything is so wonderfully textured and warm looking and oh la la the tights! There are some great victorian ruffled collars, flouncy hems, and folky scarves too!

Wardrobe Assistant: The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle

So about two summers ago I worked as the wardrobe assistant on the independent film The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle. It was the longest month of my life! Working all day and then til around 2am every night...it makes it all seem worth it now that it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival two weeks ago. There are some great reviews online and the trailer has been released so that I can see what it all looks like on film. 

I'm so proud of how it turned out and that all my hard work paid off. So if you see it will you do me a favor and let me know what you think of it? I had a falling out with the woman I worked with on the costuming so I've pretty much been left out of the loop since we finished filming...it's sad really because I don't know if they included me in the credits now. On IMBD two other names are listed for the costuming too! I know that they never worked on the film and they seem like fake names I'm pissed someone else is taking credit for what I helped do!

Anyways go see it when it shows in Seattle theaters! For you're enjoyment I now present you with the trailer for the Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle!

Druzy Jewelry

Druzy or Drusy: a thin layer of quartz crystals covering the surface of a host stone such as the tiny crystals coating the inside of a geode. Druzy Quartz is also said to aid in balancing and increasing energy. Example: amethyst 

I'm a collections girl. I've always collection a dozen different things like PEZ dispensers, Archie Comics, stamps, coins, football cards (what?), Pokemon cards...ROCKS. My favorite collection will always be my rock collection. I love them all especially the sparkly ones. 

So here I've assembled some great jewelry finds made with druzy stones that I would looooooove to own....unfortunately there is no such think as cheap druzy jewelry. I don't mind looking though do you?

My First Dressform

I'm so excited because I ordered my first dress form from Joann's! It's a Dritz "My Double" which is great because I can alter it to fit my own measurements. Yay! Now I can alter and make my own clothing without having to use those stupid patterns I loath so much bleh. 

Tie-Dye Tango

Oh goodness I want this dress from 80's Purple soooo badly! It would be a great DIY project except for the fact that it will be impossible to find a plain tank top that long....let me know if you have any ideas for where I could find out! 

This would be PERFECT for the Folklife and Bumbershoot festivals here in Seattle this summer!!

New Years Eve & Manoush

This New Years Eve I wore my new flirty little Manoush dress! It didn't let me down and provided for the perfect outfit to twirl in. This is me...twirling...

It's not hard to believe that Betty from le blog de betty fell in love with Manoush as well!

Hoaken/Helga Repurposed Accessories

If I had the money...this would be my new favorite bag....I'm kind of a red flannel-o-holic so it's pretty much ideal. 

I do have to choose my flannel wisely however. I don't exactly want to be covered in it after all. 

Hoaken /Helga offers beautiful handmade accessories as well. Especially this feather necklace, it's a great statement piece and very fantastical. 

Robin Barcus "Green" Dresses

Who new that corn husks and sticks would make such beautiful dresses?! Robin Barcus created a series of dresses out of all natural objects and then displayed them on models in the material's natural environment. The result is stunning...the woman in the water bringing up a real life image of the Lady of Shallot. 

"And down the river's dim expanse
Like some bold seer in a trance,
Seeing all his own mischance --
With a glassy countenance
Did she look to Camelot.
And at the closing of the day
She loosed the chain, and down she lay;
The broad stream bore her far away,
The Lady of Shalott."

-Lord Alfred Tennyson
