I was in Forever 21 one day, shopping for my twenty-fourth pair of sunglasses, when I spotted this Kim Kardashian-esque girl. Maybe it wasn't clear, back when I told you about the nude gloss I created at Colorlab, but I'm kind of obsessed with the buxom brunette. Besides looking like Kim Kardashian(minus the huge ass), the uncanny replica had cute style, so I asked to take her picture.

After talking with her for a minute, I became totally entranced with her eye catching jewelery. It was big and gaudy, I loved it! I inquired about it and she referred me to the website where she got it, www.melodyehsani.com.

When I went to check it out I realized that...uhhh, SHE'S THE DESIGNER!

Crazy!

Melody Ehsani is an LA based designer who offers a great line of shoes and accessories on her site. My fav is the nameplate but she also has an interesting selection of 4-finger rings, which have been seen on the likes of Erykah Badu.

The initial rush of Sex and the City has blown over and by now we all know that Steve cheats and Carrie ends up with Mr. Big. And if you didn't know, SORRY!

It's not my problem you didn't buy tickets on Fandango and stand in line with a bunch of girls in party dresses. You snooze, you lose.

Since I knew there would be more than enough Carrie-wannabe outfits, I opted to wear my best power suit and a red wig instead of a pink tutu and Manolo's.

......{long pause}That was a joke, you know that no one ever wants to admit to being "a Miranda"(even though we all KNOW every group has one).

You know that I usually like to take street shots or cover local fashion show/events on this blog but a friend recently asked me to capture the fashion DO's and Don'ts during his new night at Lava Lounge, Kids Dance Move-Taking Back Chicago. Since the concept was a little different than what I usually do (I am NO nightlife photographer!), I was up for the challenge.

The night will be a monthly occurrence, so I encourage you to come out to the next one. Dress your best(or worst), I want to take YOUR picture!


Thanks to Forever 21, it's ever so easy (and cheap) to stock up on your hipster-esque accessories. Oversized scarf, CHECK. Metallic upper-waist belt, CHECK.


The last thing a dude with a fat ass needs to do is stuff a huge hanky in his pocket to draw more attention to it. I got over it when I saw Urban selling jeans with the hanky attached.


Wait, I didn't know Barack was going to be there.


I don't even want to know what this guy just did.


Oh, I see. He just ordered champagne bottle service for his d-bag frends. And now, he's about to get up on a table like he owns the place.

PS- See the guy in the foreground. It was way too easy to say I liked his little ensemble. Hat, Vest, Collared Shirt. So instead I decided he reminded me of a cat...


...and that's ok.


Whoa, what?! Where do I begin. I guess the main thing I should touch on is the fact that she's wearing a skirt with jeans. That is like number one in the fashion DONT rulebook. And just when you think it can get any worse, she completes her look with leg warmers and gym shoes. This is wrong. All wrong!


See, if the last girl had just stopped putting on clothes after the black tank and jeans, she might look as cute as this girl.


Awww, so cute. Unfortunately, that sweater dress is out of season and outdated. Yea, and her twin/friend thought it would be a good idea to wear a slutty red bra under her see through top...Not so cute.


BFF's do everything together!!! They walk alike, they talk alike AND apparently they go out wearing matching fake Marc Jacobs quilted bags...


And matching bandannas...


And matching winter hats!!! (Note: It is fucking JUNE and trust me, I have my share of saggy winter beanies but the time has come to put them away. BYE!


Ok, who let this baby with the technicolor Rolling Stones t shirt in the club?! The kid can't even grow a mustache and some cougar is trying to get him drunk.


Hollywood Holt is looking good...even WITH his shirt on.

There is something about a woman with a cane that is oh, so...DAPPER!

I love this outfit!

I think that it's rare to see someone (especially in the Midwest) take risks like wearing a tie (without looking like Avril Levine), clogs (without looking like my grandma) and a boxy camera bag (without being a photographer) ALL TOGETHER and still look like a girl. A cute one at that.

I only see looks like this captured by The Facehunter....in far away lands.
