ALICE + OLIVIA Lolita Look

Try the lolita makeup look

Rock a smokey eye or thick, black eyeliner...

...and dark burgundy lips.

The ultimate party dress

Sequins, leather and fur!  

Love love love the leather shorts with the knee high stockings

The print and structure of this dress is breathtaking.

Luxe + Casual wear in monochromatic tones

The sweater and skirt are must-haves and are great separates to mix n match

This dress and lace gloves scream MEEE!

Brocade dresses speak for themselves.  So timeless and elegant!

Because I am a self proclaimed vixen and I love lolita inspired looks, I fell in love with Stacey Bendet's Alice + Olivia 2012 collection at NYFW.  Her collection is filled with leather, fur, sequins, bouclé, jacquard embroidery, brocades and prints.  The inspiration for the look was said to be reminiscent of a 'Lolita attending a dinner party'.  Stacey describes it best, “This season she’s a sexy, rebellious Lolita-inspired vixen who can also play the charming innocent schoolgirl.”  Which look is your fave??

ORIGINAL LOLITA/Rosie Perez

Bizarre Couple: Rosie and Tupac

White Men Can't Jump (1992)

Rosie in Lackawanna Blues (2005)

Rosie playing a rogue cop in Pineapple Express (2008)

She was even in a few episodes of The Cleveland Show (far right)

Andy Cohen and Rosie on Watch What Happens Live!

Rosie is just one of those original lolitas that I love and admire!  She exudes such charm, sass, spunk and extraordinary talent.  She's such a versatile actress and from New York City (Brooklyn to be specific)!  My love for Rosie stemmed from movies and shows like In Living Color, Do the Right Thing, White Men Can't Jump and recently Pineapple Express and The Cleveland Show.  If you haven't seen a Rosie film, Do The Right Thing and White Men Can't Jump are classics and a must-see!  Who is an original lolita to you?

Hi dolls!  Sorry I haven't posted in a little while...I've been so busy with LIFE! But I am trying to be more consistent.  I am an avid TV watcher and I love seeing the latest fashions through the screen.  One of my all time favorite style shows is Gossip Girl.  Besides it being an A-M-A-Z-E show, they don incredible fashions.  I love the glamous and chic-ness of Blake, the quirky yet trendy style of Leighton and the edginess of Taylor.  I have also featured a winter look of Blake's that you can achieve simply for much less!   ENJOY and tell me what you think about Gossip Girl Style.  Do you look to them for inspiration?  Which look is your fave?
