ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Spring Rain
Today was a typical May Gray day. It was cold enough to wear tights and drizzling enough to wear rain boots. The blush lace top and white scarf made the hunter green more spring appropriate and you can never go wrong with a classic beige trench.

On a side note, I’ve taken Jessica Schroeder of What I Wore’s advice and am going to keep all my images on ThinkThruFashion the same size. How do you guys feel about this image size? Too big? Too small? Just right?

ttF Fashion Diary: Lichtenstein Pop
After seeing all the blue tights in G-Star’s Fall 2010 show—and how cool Liv Tyler looked in the bright color sitting front row—I decided I had to try the trend. But why wait for fall? Between the stripes and the primary colors, I felt just like a painting by one of my favorite artists, Roy Lichtenstein.

After work, I went to see live painting at a M.A.C. Pro event at the El Rey Theatre. Last time I attended one of these events, it was a cocktail party featuring body paint. Tonight, Oscar winning special effects makeup artist Rick Baker did a live demonstration of turning a normal face into a monster with M.A.C. Cosmetics’ professional line. He was so scary at the end! But genius. This guy has had an incredible career, doing makeup for Michael Jackson’s Thriller, both King Kongs, Batman Forever and Robert Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder, just to name a few.

I could have worn what I wore to work, but to make my outfit more nighttime, I swapped my flats for a pair of gladiator heels and traded the red beads for the black pearl and gem necklace we used on the models over the weekend.

ttF Fashion Diary: Mustard Wind
Lack of sleep from working Oscars made me freezing. So I layered a sweater dress under a blazer to stay warm but still chic at the office. When I stepped outside, my warmth was useless. It was so windy today!

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.

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Burberry’s 3D Debut
Burberry Prorsum made fashion history tonight when the label live-streamed its Fall 2010 collection around the world. I was lucky enough to be invited to the Los Angeles event, hosted by The Daily Beast’s Tina Brown, at Milk Studio. Because of the time zone difference, we were the only city that didn’t see the show while Kate Hudson, Kristen Stewart, Mary-Kate Olsen and Claire Danes watched in London from the front row.

My blazer and new lia sophia chain and pearl necklace took me from the office straight to the event—and matched oh so well with the 3D Burberry glasses we were given for our virtual front row seat. And it took me long enough but I finally am taking a liking to the over the knee boot. Burberry’s leather ones for fall were absolutely killer. And they didn’t look trashy whatsoever since they were paired with knee-length skirts and covetable outerwear.
