Sorry we disappeared again for awhile, you guys. :( The end of the year is approaching so I'm busy slaving my life away over papers (I didn't say that being a pre-med didn't come with a price...)
Good news though!
I am the PR intern for an alternative organic makeup line called Johnny Concert. Joanna, the owner and the founder, is a sweetheart. Check out the line!

In any case, "spring" is in Omaha. And by spring, I mean fluctuating temperatures. However, the new Thao & Mirah album is out, so I thought you all should listen to it. I'm more partial to the Mirah-led songs, but other than that-- I'm a big fan of the album.

This song is Little Cup. It's quirky and adorable.
Enjoy

Designer Spotlight: James Lillis for Black Milk Clothing

I don't know when my fascination with nebulae and galaxies started (hipster status, represent? Just kidding.) but when I tried looking for clothing with nebulas and galaxies, my search fell short. I either had cheap looking shirts that didn't even feature a nebula print-- or I had to lust over Christopher Kane's Resort '11 collection featuring a heavy amount of nebulae and space of which I could not afford.

Then out of the abyss came James Lillis' Black Milk Clothing line. A lifesaver by any means... Australian-based James Lillis started his leggings line in 2009. With a slow start, he slowly began to develop a cult following and is now one of the better leggings designers, with his collection available online. He also designs other items of clothing-- but his main focus is on leggings and swimsuits (at the current moment.)

Here are a few sprinklings of what I LOVE in his collection. I honestly just want to buy the whole store.

The Gold Cages.
 $150.00 (US) 

Silver Straps
$150.00

Velvet Bell Bottoms (very in right now with the 70's trend!)
$90.00

Sick of Men Leggings
$70.00

Wolf Swimsuit
$85.00

Black Ribs Swimsuit
$85.00

Now, I'm aware that we all aren't made of money these days (especially with the economy...) but these are high-quality and handmade. He has a small team of people who help him make these beautifully printed swimsuits. Sizing is usually XS to L, but if you email their customer service (Linda, who is the nicest customer service representative ever! So helpful) they can make you a custom size for only $5.00 each piece. :)

Honestly, these are investment pieces. If you can justify wearing them with the price, it'll be well worth your while. Shipping to the United States (it is Australia, after all) is an additional $15.00, but if you follow their facebook group-- they usually offer sneak peeks and discount codes.

When I finally go home and get my packages, I'll definitely show you what they look like on and hopefully I can create an outfit.

Hey Says: Fashion Tribute to Elizabeth Taylor

Fashion Tribute: Elizabeth Taylor

(1932-2011)

Last week, the world lost a legend, a magnificent Actress, a devoted philanthropist, and a divine beauty. I wanted to take this opportunity to hold a tribute for one of my favorite actresses of all time, Dame Elizabeth Taylor.

Liz's clothing and jewelry were legendary, and beautiful, she graced the silver screen in magnificent motion picture productions like, "Cat on A Hot Tin Roof," "Butterfield 8," "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf," and "A Place in the Sun." The two time Academy Award Winner for Best Actress was known for her exquisite fashion sense, her clothes became timeless staples in the fashion world, and pop culture as we know it.

For instance, her 1961 Oscar dress, which was a beautiful yellow top, white ball gown skirt with a green sash and red rose was elegant and divine, and truly expressed her beauty as she accepted her Best Actress Oscar for her wicked performance in Butterfield 8. Besides the dress, her hair was perfectly made into a beautiful effortless coif.

She graced the Best Dressed list for countless years, in 1970, she wore an Edith Head light blue ensemble accessorized with a beautiful jeweled necklace, which showed her ability to recreate her style as an aging actress in Hollywood.

Liz's best fashion moments also came from her memorable screen performances. For instance, in Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, she wore a simple, yet sexy white dress, which epitomized women's fashion in the 1950's. It seemed that by this time, anything Liz wore, was magique!

As a Golden Age Hollywood mega-fan, I am honored to write about Elizabeth Taylor, I think we can all agree that she was the monumental actress of her time, an angelic beauty, and sex icon. She aged beautifully as the years went on, and didn't stop her reign as Queen of the beauties. The world is very lucky to have witnessed Liz's transformation from young, innocent child star into an international sensation.

Personally, I will miss her very much, I will cherish her movies and her luscious style that will forever be timeless, and will forever awe audiences forevermore.

From He Wore She Wore,

This is Diér.
