SHEER GENIUS
It’s official. I love mesh. It’s sexy, mysterious and pretty badass. It’s like being naked in public—how thrilling! Mesh will always remind me of the 80’s era of bondage glamour and excess cultivated by the late and great Gianni Versace. Even my Mom had a few pieces of S&M inspired duds in her closet. And yes, I have one of those Moms. I blame my fashion obsession on her.
But I digress, I loved this bodysuit so much that I also bought the dress version. It’s my next DIY project. Because I cannot currently afford the Alexander Wang mesh dress (I have my eyes set on a much bigger prize: the denim leather jacket) I have decided I will ‘attempt’ to make my own version. Stay tuned to learn its fate.

I have an addiction to booties. Seriously! I have to stop myself whenever I see a new pair at Zara. I’m actually thinking of putting spikes on them in the near future…kinda bored with them the way they are…

Hi Vanessa,
Love LOVE your blog! It satisfies my fashion cravings in every way. It makes me want to tag along when you go shop so I can take some notes!
I don’t know if you would be interested but there’s this other girl on flickr that I check religiously. Take a look at Merina Vo. She’s absolutely gorgeous and her photography and fashion sense is flawless. You might find some her pictures interesting

Sarah! Thanks so much for the tips and comments! I’m definitely going to look into those people–I’m going to be buying a DSLR of my own soon so I’m always interested to see what other people are doing.
Check back next week: I’ll have some super hot shots i took with a friend in the studio.
Have a great long weekend and I’ll chat with you soon…
