ttF Fashion Staples Series Month #2: February Softness
This was a very hard month. Since there were only 28 days, I had to make sure to incorporate more than one Fashion Staple into many of my outfits. In total, I wore each of the 6 items at least 6 times. Although the outfit I created to kick off February was black and gray, the majority of my looks are either pink, red or green (my favorite colors to pair with gray).

Here’s the breakdown for February…

Marchesa and Audi Kick Off the Oscars at Cecconis

ttF Fashion Diary: Kicking Off Oscars with Audi & Marchesa
I said goodbye to February with a bang tonight at Audi’s Oscars Kick Off Party at Cecconi’s. The car company held another fashion installation, this time featuring gorgeous gowns from Marchesa’s spring collection. The dress I’m posing with above has been worn by Camilla Belle, who hosted the evening in yet another feathered creation by Georgina Chapman. But my fave was the backless beaded beauty Diane Kruger wore at the Inglorious Basterds premiere in Cannes. As I said on Twitter, I would die to wear that gown.

As for me, although I can’t afford Marchesa, I thought my ruffles and crystals were the perfect choice for a feminine Sunday evening cocktail soiree.

More Alice in Wonderland Inspired Fashion: Avril Lavigne Abbey Dawn

Avril Lavigne Alice in Wonderland for Abbey Dawn

Avril Lavigne doesn’t only sing Alice in Wonderland’s title single, “Alice,” she also designed clothing inspired by the movie. When Tim Burton’s highly anticipated flick premieres March 5, so does Avril’s Abbey Dawn limited edition junior’s rock ‘n’ roll with a whimsical twist collection online and at Kohl’s stores nationwide.

In the meantime, check out other designers who have been influenced by the Disney flick. My faves are Sue Wong’s magical dresses and Tom Binns’ edgy jewelry. Everything is making me want to throw an Alice in Wonderland party for my birthday in a couple of weeks. I don’t have the time or funds but I’d love to turn my apartment into a scene from Avril’s music video.

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary February 28

ttF Fashion Diary: Pixelated Garden
I tried going to Runyon Canyon this morning but since it was a beautiful day there was zero parking. So I came back to change and go for lunch at Cuvee on Robertson, so delicious. Clearly, I was still feeling my neon theme from last night’s space party.

Vince cardigan, Chadwicks dress, Dolce Vita boots, Carrera Endurance sunglasses (same ones in the shopping gallery below)

What to wear to a space party

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Space Party
The space party was a success… and I managed to include one of my February ttF Fashion Staples in my costume (it’s hard to see in the photo but I pinned a crystal brooch on the neckline of the silver bustier).

I ended up recycling parts of my Emma Frost costume from Halloween, adding neon tights and colorful hair extensions from a Paris Hilton’s beauty launch. At first I had plain pigtails but my friend said I looked too Cheetah Girls so I created crazy twists with bobby pins and way too much hairspray. I finished the”Starbot” transformation using the paint in my goodie bag from MAC’s Pro to Pro party.

Other standout costumes at the party were the birthday boy and his Lady Gaga monster girlfriend, who glowed like the galaxy by cracking open glow sticks and spraying them all over white clothing. Even Bunny got into the theme, and became a low rider with blue glow sticks attached to her harness.

Emma Frost Halloween costume, tights from Beverly Hills Hosiery (great place for cheap tights in downtown LA), boots fro a costume years ago, Paris Hilton hair extensions, vintage brooch

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary February 27

ttF Fashion Diary: A W Afternooon
Craaaaazy day. I had to run errands downtown this morning to help my friend find a costume for the space party I’m throwing him tonight. Then I stopped by Angeleno’s pre-Oscar event at the W Hotel in Hollywood and then the lovely Sinead, aka Self Tanning Queen, put together a blogger event at her suite at the posh hotel (Her assistant Carrie and I are posing with our moustache jewelry below).

Mind you, it’s 8:30pm, I just got home and have not yet cleaned, decorated or figured out my costume. The party starts in an hour.

But back to daytime: I needed an outfit that I could run around in and be comfortable. A tunic, boyfriend cardi and leggings did just the trick. Ok, gtg. Need to set up for my soiree!

DBG tunic, Vince cardigan, Forever 21 Fab leggings (I always stock up on these because they’re only $4.50! They’re in the get the look shopping gallery below), Hogan boots, Demistasse necklace, earrings (can’t remember)
