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)
Fashion Staples Used: Cashmere Boyfriend Cardigan
Get the look…
This past weekend, Lady Gaga got into the holiday spirit with a reindeer hat, her trademark fishnets and a see-through rubber coat-dress to have drinks at London’s Mayfair Hotel.
Strange? Yes. Shocking? No.
Much stranger are the necklaces at Miller Park Zoo’s ZOOtique gift shop. They’re made with reindeer dung!
Each “Gem,” as the Bloomington, Illinois zoo refers to the droppings, is dehydrated, sanitized and painted—and it’s developed with a tale from retired zoo superintendent John Tobias. It’s a pretty cute story:
John’s grandmother use to gather her grandchildren and take them outside on Christmas Eve to scatter homemade chocolate chips. She would tell the children that the chips would attract Santa and his reindeer to their home, because the reindeer would know that other reindeer had already visited and left droppings…
I just don’t know how I feel about wearing feces around my neck.
I much prefer wearing a beaded reindeer on my chest. The J. Crew reindeer tee is sold out online, but I saw a bunch when I was at the San Diego store last weekend. Now I regret not buying one.
This month’s Twisted Insider piece is the Tapestry necklace ($100) and bracelet ($50). I immediately wore the choker necklace as a bracelet wrapped around a cardigan the first day I received the jewelry. It added a cool vintage feel to my outfit.
My friend Tina at Twisted Silver says she hasn’t taken her bracelet for a week now, and likes it layered with the Classic XO bracelet. So I tried stacking with the piece with different jewelry from my closet. First, I wore the bracelet and necklace together (I think this is my favorite look). Then I showed just the necklace worn as a bracelet, then the necklace with a $5 cuff I bought at Aldo and finally, the bracelet with two lia sophia stretchy jeweled bracelets.
How would you wear these Tapestry pieces? Think about it because they launch tomorrow on Twisted Silver’s website and later this week I’ll be giving a Tapestry bracelet away!
Keep reading to see how the Twisted Silver models wear the pieces for inspiration.

The pink ribbon is to Breast Cancer Month as the Demistache is to Movember.
Haven’t heard of Movember? Yeah, me either until I got a press release about these adorable moustache-inspired necklace designed by Rachael White that have a fan base including the likes of Lindsay Lohan and Isla Fisher. They’re the official sponsors of Movember, which is a global initiative that raises awareness and funds for prostate and testicular cancer.
Through January 1, Demistasse Jewelry will donate $8 from every Demistache sale to the cause. And they’re pretty reasonable in price, ranging from the $38 basic Urban Demistache to the crystal-studded $68 ones. Or, if you feel like splurging, you could always go for the diamond encrusted Mini Nietzsche version!
The best part about this facial hair aside from being charitable? It’s never itchy and there’s not need to shave.
This vampire obsession just keeps getting bigger. The other day I heard about Robert Pattison undies—so gross! HBO’s True Blood jewelry is more up my alley. Granted, I’d never pay this much for jewelry that resembles blood and has a fang-like clasp but it’s pretty cool to look at.
You’ve seen how I wear my Twisted Silver Eclectic necklace as a necklace and a belt. Now it’s your chance to style it. Enter the contest below to win the same unique piece of jewelry!
