Angie Leg Part Deux

...and a mystery man who I didn't notice until just now.

Skirt and Bag- Vintage (La Petite Marmoset -here- and similar print -here-), Tank-Forever 21, Sandals- UrbanOg.com (like these DV ones), Sunnies- Izod (like these), Belt- Asos

Decided to keep it simple today with a slightly more subtle thigh slit skirt (as opposed to the dress from this post)--- this one allows for the illusion of a a modest maxi until you decide to pop your leg out to say hello, get some air, or hail a ride à la It Happened One Night: (watch the whole clip for some good old Clark Gable swagger or skip to 2:20 to get right to the point) 

 

So Sari!

Yep, pretty much says it all.

Sari, belt, and bag- Vintage (La Petite Marmoset -bag here-), Sandals- Romwe, Sunnies- Izod (found in my house... not sure who they belong to but they're mine now muahaha), Triangle bracelet- Nebraska

When I saw this beautiful mass of sheer black and gold embroidered Indian silk, I knew I had to swathe myself in it. I didn't know how it was going to work exactly, but I wanted to style it in a way that looked more "maxi dress" and less "Salahi wannabe."  Maybe it still looks that way? I'm not sure. What I do know, is that today, we were feeling a bit silly:

I'm sorry if I got this stuck in your head ;)

The Pants Diet

Quick way to "lose 10lbs?" Wear pants that are wayyy too big for you :)

Pants & belt- Vintage (La Petite Marmoset), Tank- Forever21, Clutch- Aldo, Triangle Bracelet- Nebraska, Celtic Ring- Ireland, Platforms- Jessica Simpson

You know those print ads with impossibly fit people holding up tent-sized trousers touting "I lost 100 lbs on the blankity blank supplement diet"? That's how I feel when wearing these glorious pantalones--- they are way too big for me (note giant crotch-ular folds), but I kind of like them that way because a) who cares when they have a mind-blowing print; and b) The aforementioned pants diet effect.  I will make sure to test this theory tonight at dinner and update you on the findings :)

The Amazing Purse Woman

*Zzzzzip*--- Bam!

Vest, Bag, and Clip-on paisley earrings- Vintage (La Petite Marmoset), Dress- Forever21, Collar Tips- La Petite Marmoset (here), Triangle bracelet- random store in Nebraska, black beaded bracelet- gift from Venezuela, Tulip ring- vintage, Boots- Soles (here)

Recently discovered the magical mirror in the bottom of this purse after having a "duh, there's a zipper for a reason" moment---- how effing cool is that?  Maybe I found this purse for a reason--- maybe I'm actually meant to help the poor mirrorless people of the world who have spinach stuck in their teeth at lunch! (that was me the other day, and I WISH someone had come to the rescue!).  Maybe I can use it to reflect sun and blind an attacker (since pepper spray is technically illegal to carry in DC)--- maybe it's kind of like having a super power! Maybe I watched too many cheesy comic films this past weekend...

Summer Work: LPM Lookbook July

"Instaaagram!"

With Summer more than half way over (say it ain't so!), we realize this lookbook may come a tad late--- we actually shot it in the beginning of June, but due to a variety of factors, we are finally releasing it now!  The concept "Summer Work" came from this idea--- what if, instead of middle-aged day laborers/landscaping men in work boots and ripped jeans, we replaced them with gorgeous LPM girls in 5 inch heels and neon?  The result had us parading around Columbia Heights in 90+ degree weather on a Sunday afternoon, scrambling to borrow a truck last minute, and asking a confused neighbor if we could mow his lawn (I don't think he minded too much).  People came out to their front porches to watch the procession and wanted to know-- could they too, have a cameo in our "rap video?"

A big thank you to the wonderful team that worked on the lookbook!
