Etc. Bears and Bespoke, A Thread of Fashion

Lost Salient

Perhaps you are interested in clothing. Articles of the stylish bent for torso and limbs.



Or perhaps not. Perhaps your milieu is haberdashery?



Jewelry?



Whatever, let's just all talk about how much we want to be Grace Kelly.



(Try not to be cliquey, try not to weird people out, let us keep this thread because it is Very Important that I have somewhere to discuss shoes.)

THREAD LACKS REFERENCES TO MAKEUP

Vivixenne

there are tons of awesome holiday palettes out now which is the reason for my post, and I'm seriously considering investing in a couple of them!

the Too Faced ones look awesome!

and I've never used LORAC but I'm really liking the range they've included in terms of mattes versus frosts

Cello

YESSSSSSS. New fashion thread!

I have the Too Faced palette in Romantic Eye. I'm not crazy about the green shades that came with it, but the grey and purple ones are classics I like to whip out every now and then!

OH MY GOD

THEM COLORS

IT'S EVERYTHING THE BOOK OF SHADOWS SHOULD HAVE BEEN

Lost Salient

I was going to do makeup and nail polish but then the OP would have been even longer and still have been just pictures of weird stuff. Especially because I don't really wear makeup or nail polish.

Here's uhh

A pretty astounding couple of photos of the cape Elizabeth Taylor wore as Cleopatra, though

I put 'em in links cause for the real effect you have to see the whole thing and they're big

Vivixenne

on the topic of makeup

I have eyeshadow a plenty

but I am looking at trying a cream eyeshadow now as a base for more color, given that I am tan and that means a lot of colors look faded on me

does anyone have any experience with any of the following?

• Bobbi Brown Longwear Cream Eyeshadow
• Maybelline Tattoo 24-Hour Eyeshadow
• L'Oreal Infallible Cream Eyeshadow
• MAC Paint Pots
• Chanel Illusion d’Ombre

and they aren't actually as expensive as I'd imagined

I'm also salivating over these: http://www.urbandecay.com/urban-decay/makeup-palettes-&-gifts/ocho-loco-2-24/7-glide-on-eye-pencil-set/385.html



totally gonna have to find a way to get them to Australia since they're not even sold here!

EDIT: also for the other Urban Decay eyeliner fans in the thread - http://www.urbandecay.com/urban-decay/exclusives/24/7-glide-on-eye-pencil-vault/368.html

halp halp





they're soooo pretty

bowtiedseal

I am sooo tempted by that urban decay eyeliner set!

I am thinking of picking up some hair chalk and faking an ombré effect with my hair one of these days. I think it might look cool with the curls. These colors would probably work: http://www.etsy.com/listing/128265526/salon-grade-temporary-hair-chalk-reverse?ref=cat_gallery_19

I tried to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad

Vivixenne

I totally just found a place to buy the ocho loco set that ships to Australia

that sounds like a brilliant idea!

I couldn't help but notice that second photo in the listing is a really cool photo with the sunglasses and all, but in the reflection you can totally tell it was taken in her bedroom

Vivixenne

and yeah @bowtiedseal those colors would be perfect for our skintones

I know you're fairer than me but I'm pretty sure we're both mostly neutral with some golden undertones

plus those colors would be fantabulous on your big gorgeous eyes

I got

a couple new shirts recently

behold my stupid face and dumb body

and a new belt

I've never really worn a lot of flannel/plaid cause I didn't think it would look good on me

but I guess it does? @stareosarus says so, anyway

I appreciate that outfit's gender neutrality

The plaid thing is a horror-show though.

Also Mr. Dan Smart Hero those shirts are very nice!

Sometimes people just straight up give you money

So that's a plus

Most of my knowledge of makeup revolves around wishing I knew how to use it more effectively. I have mastered the understated look to the point where you can't really tell that I am even wearing makeup. But at any rate, hope springs eternal and I discovered a very cool site that satisfies my delight in pretty colors and profound geekiness simultaneously. It amuses me to no end that the colors I prefer are in the Hobbit Collection, huge Tolkien nerd that I am.

The vast majority of the time, you'll either be completely invisible to passers by, and the people that do notice you will avoid you/treat you like shit, though.

If they were split-toed as well there could be no doubt. As they are though, the shape and structure has me thinking black-and-white kung fu movie.

Lost Salient

Man now I really want split-toed shoes

Lost Salient

I mean I already did but I want to renew my search for the perfect pair

Split toed boots for construction workers are pretty popular here in Japan. As are split toed socks. They look kind of neat.

oh my god I want these.

And @Delaney, I was the same way! You just have to experiment at home with using heavier and heavier makeup, and get used to seeing yourself with that much on. I used to be terrified that I had too much makeup on and thought I'd be an embarrassment walking out the door... for wearing a *tiny* dash of blush and a barely visible brown eyeliner that hardly extended past my water line.

I also found looking at guides on Pinterest and Youtube helped a lot. It helped if the person had a similar complexion and hair/eye colour to mine. If I thought they looked pretty, it meant it would probably work well on me despite the sheer amount of panic I'd experience considering putting it on, ahaha.
