Rainy Day Wear

Click on this link for a closer look!

What to wear on yet another rainy day in Seattle? I would suggest a big smile and I paired my top with chopsticks scattered across this soft Sucre Soir tee, a pair of skinny chopstick jeans from Vigoss and thigh-high chopstick riding boots from Bronx, a present from Queen Anne Dispatch. No wonder I'm so hungry!

Adelita Style Mascara Test

I decided to test Maybelline's DEFINE-A-LASH® VOLUME WATERPROOF MASCARA and show you my morning routine. Unfortunately, the story ended badly. I had major bleeding!! I much prefer the non waterproof version of DEFINE-A-LASH® LENGTHENING WASHABLE MASCARA. It's way more "bleed-proof". Who'd a thought?! Please enjoy the soundtrack from Architecture from Helsinki. The song is "The Owls Go!"

My Secret Love Affair

Bambi Coat only in Korea. : (

I have an obsession for South Korean clothing. Somehow this tiny country has managed not only to be listed as the 8th largest exporter in the world, mostly due to it's industrial sector, it has taken the music world by storm with it's girl bands like The Wonder Girls. With it's enormous growth, it isn't too surprising to find out that this country also has a passion for fashion. While getting my Japanese manicure, the stylist told me she loves to travel to Korea with her relatives for the clothes shopping. And although Americans have just caught on to Japanese clothing trends, you know, like Harajuku Girls and Cosplay- Japanese kids are taking the boat ride over to Korea for their fashion fix. Someday, I will join them and bring some back to you! In the mean time, check out YesStyle for "A New Way of Style."

Ask Adelita: "S" is for Sexy

Victoria's Secret Crochet Mini Sweaterdress in Milk

Dear Adelita-

I'm attending an event and I don't want to upstage the hostess by wearing something too sexy. I have a vision of pink chiffon with a black motorcycle jacket. I can't find "the" chiffon dress anywhere! I am looking for a pale pink. Can you help?

Cheers!

Dear S,

"S," as in sexy, is totally okay... if it's tasteful. I love your idea of pairing an edgy black leather jacket with a softer silhouette. But I do believe the trouble you're having is because the two are very hard to mix without looking like a little girl gone bad. Instead of chiffon, try lace or better yet this super sexy crochet dress from Victoria's Secret in Milk. If you pair it with some great boots like the Frye Engineer Boot, you'll look trendy and confidently sexy but not overbearing!  

Love,

 
 

Hot Sauce

Lindsey Wixon's Ruby Pout

A must have in your cosmetic "wardrobe" is a long wearing red lipstick. I love Nouba's Millibaci lipgloss. It can be dabbed on with your finger to create a rosy stain or you can go full throttle and use the wand to seal your hot kiss. Millibaci actually means "millions of kisses" and that is exactly where your pretty pout will lead you to. Muah!
