I'm bored of taking pictures of me posing like a Lame-O in my bedroom mirror. I Need A Photographer.
I also need a new setting, new scenery. As the weather has been absolutely stupendous recently, I thought I would take a few photos of my Lab outfit out on my balcony. The view is lovely...however, my photography is not! It's a lot harder to take pictures of yourself than I thought!
Balcony View
I look a bit disjointed...head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes!
Head, Shoulders
Knees
Toes
Outfit: Vintage Leather Jacket - Sheer Pink Shirt (buttoned to the top) - My Fav High-Waisted Jeans - Orange Sandals
So, if you fancy yourself a photographer, please get in touch! I need you now!
This Cheerleader look is solely dependent on some serious shades - Marc Jacobs Shades to be exact...yeah, 'cuz I be So-So Fly like that!
So-So Fly...^_~.
Nails done, Hair done, Everything did
I seem to have gone from bright colours to funeral black...well, I like to keep those Science Geeks guessing...O_o
Maybe it's a little "Too Morose 4 Skool"...you know, a little too Wednesday Adams.
Darling Wednesday
Although, I hasten to add that Wednesday was my fashion icon when I was little. That's what you get when you grow up in a graveyard.
But I helped my shades out by matching their fabulous-ness with a pair of printed wedges and some RoboTreasure!
Wedges + Geek Jewellery
What's Robotreasure, I hear you ask? It's the epitome of awesome! Here, I'm sporting a wee bracelet/anklet/necklace/whatever you want it to be, that my friend's brother handmade - what a craftsman! He makes all sorts out of capacitors, microchips, and nuts and bolts...check out this geek-friendly fashion @ robotreasure.etsy.com store ^_^.

What would a Lab Bench Lady post be w/o a shot of my Legs?
If you're wondering that you may have seen my heels before...well, you have...but in orange...
Rumour has it, when Britney Spears likes a certain style of underwear she buys it in as many different colours as she can get her hands on. Well, I'm the same with shoes - if I like a style of heel I'll buy it in all possible colours. A simple philosophy to follow, I think!
People's spending habits are often an accurate reflection of the state of the economy - when times are hard, such as now, people budget for and spend only on essentials - the iPad 2 isn't on most people's shopping lists (apart from mine) - sad news for the world's largest company, Apple. It is sensible behaviour as the economy is still recovering but it makes shopping a lot less fun. Boo-hoo! Especially as the new season (A/W) approaches - although it seems that Autumn and Winter are already upon us in England - bringing with it some awesome new trends:
* The futuristic take on the vintage glamour of the 1940s (@Marc Jacobs - video below) and 1960s (@Prada & Burberry Prorsum)
Prada A/W 2011
* The 18-hour dress vs. The Tomboy - hourglass vs. tailoring.
L'Wren Scott vs. Paul Smith
But these are all way over budget for those who are still feeling the pinch. So the best way to update your look for A/W 2011 lies in your make-up bag - no need to buy more products, simply adapt what you already have.
* Make your make-up work harder by multi-tasking - use the same product on lips, cheeks and eyes. Steer away from green, purple and blue.
* Following the 60s revival, coat your lashes with mascara but avoid clumping.
* Blush can be applied below the cheekbones to give an outdoorsey, healthy glow.
* No need to visit the salon for your fortnightly eyebrow wax, brows are bigger and bolder in-line with the tomboy look.
* But if there is one thing you should give into it would be brightly coloured, glossy lips - reds, purples and pinks. In fact, Reuters states that "When times are tough, women still treat themselves to a new lipstick" - in the US, lipstick sales have increased by 13% since the start of 2011. And analysts can now use lipstick sales as an economic indicator to gauge the mood of the consumer. Whatever reason you buy it for, it is a great way to stay on-trend without maxing out the credit card.
