Burn Our Dreams in a Single Night

Category: My Outfits — Eyeliah

I have been so busy with my projects (two blogs, guitar, fall tv shows, saying yes to invites) that I haven’t saved much time for outfit planning.  All my looks are being thrown together in a matter of 5 minutes.  They are passable but could usually use one extra detail to make them special, like below a brooch on the beret would have been so sweet.  But I’m not sweating it, I can put a brooch on the next time I wear the beret you know.  I haven’t thrifted or been to the mall in quite a while now either (lacking the funds) so mixing it up in this short time is becoming more challenging.  I just sent out an invite for a Clothing Swap Party so that will help, if you are in Vancouver and would like to come shoot me an email.

I’ve asked before but… how long so you spend planning your daily outfits?

IFB Dress UP Soiree

Category: My Outfits — Eyeliah

I was not able to attend the IFB Dress Up Soiree in NYC, I wish.  Jennine requested IFB members to send in outfits for their slideshow, what a great idea!  The event was last night, the first photo below was my submitted outfit.  I thought I would utilize the ‘dress up’ aspect and I’d really like to step out of the proverbial box more in the future.

What would you wear to the soiree?

Give What You Love Before You Get It Back

Category: My Outfits — Eyeliah

I really liked wearing this outfit, so much so that I would almost wear it again.  Almost but no – I’ve never repeated an outfit since I was 13, it may be weird but it’s part of what makes me me.  I’ve been so busy working on The Eyeline and really enjoying it.  I could chase after stylish people with my camera all day long (and I do).

What projects have you been working on?
