SpeciesSpotlight: ELVIS

Once Upon a Time, I was styling at a Guess fashion show & as usual my eyes pondered on over to where the models were getting their hair & makeup did... aka the Before & After $tation. Then suddenly my eyes were violated in the best possible way by this hair artist with some severe style pizzzazz. Leather, jewelry on jewelry, hair with a style sense of it's own, named Elvis & I obviously had to take a picture...



I present to you Elvis Zavaleta: 4 Real Talented Magician ART1$T in hair & makeup & personal $TYL3 















 Like an animal kingdom, the style kingdom has a medley of different species that reside in certain habitats, interact with certain creautures & some camoflauge better here then there. This species is tricky to define because It's a mixture of a lot of different contrasting which is why I'm pretty sure this is the Synthesis Species. It was born in like 6 different eras &  so it has this empowerment to dress as untamed as it f*cking wants. The more fashionably undisiplined the more self-disiplined it is. I'm going to lose my mind trying to put this into words but these are the types of pictures that remind me why I have this infatuation with clothing & how it literally speaks.

HEY PRINCESS




I have a lot of phases with the way I dress but I will always prefer being comfortable. If I'm wearing the fanciest of long gowns I will ditch a pair of toe cramping heels any day for a pair of  Jeffrey Campbell platform sneakers. I love beautiful dresses & heavily beaded fabrics but no matter how beautiful & elegant it is on it's own, I will still niz on it...just a little. I'm a 90's baby, I still hold stretchy plastic chokers & jean jackets close to my heart. 

So I took the princess dress that holds very awkward and stressful memories & nizzed on it, gave it some more niz vibing. 

THE PROM DRESS BLAH -_-
I thought a princess dress meant it was vital to get hair extensions, cat eyes, red lips & the bff Diamonds

So here: Wear the most embellished of princess dresses & give it some of Y O U 


Get in your mind for inspire time

Cat Ears
&
Jean Jacket
Complete The Packet
Sometimes I chooz to ditch the shooz
Feels like MEEEE
Well that's the better version of my princess dress, thanks for looking,  I love you!!!!!






Much love, thanks & credit for photos:

Do you see this item?
HulaHoop

The sistars & I always just saw the hula hoop as our everyday play object during the summer.

Welcome to the H00P CULT
Where the hoola is always hooping wether you are...
Walking down the street
Having a business meeting
Under the stars
Under the sun
Mobbing to the beach

And to the desert rawks
Celebrating the birthday of a summer baby
Playing dress up

Waiting for cabs that never came

            Karl  +   Hoop + Paris Fashion Week =




Why didn't we think of that though?
Karl is a creative mastermind & with that Chanel logo you can make anything look like it's not affordable. Besides being a hulahoop bag, this thing has another purpose as well. "It's for the beach. You need space for the beach towel. And then you can put it into the sand and hang things on it". I can't imagine there being a high comfort level in throwing white Chanel leather on the sand but I'm sure it'll be seen on beaches in St. Tropez. 

Here is an interview of the man explaining the hoop and what not...
