Dear Mr. Louboutin

It’s hard to go with a trend. As soon as it’s out, everyone picks it up. It’s important to stay true to yourself. Have fun with fashion instead of letting it dictate.
Estella Warren

Below this post I have a question. Until then, I'd like to ask Mr. Louboutin to make his smallest Men's footwear size a 4 or 4.5.. I thank him in advance. ^_^

I have been a fan of Louboutin before J Lo began making songs about him. Just as I've become fans of several other designers prior to their fame within the Hip Hop community. Nxgguhz act like Cam'Ron never mentioned it in "Get Ya Gun". Like Hov ain't mention Maison Martin Margiela (which I believe is the future of fashion). Like rappers haven't spoken about Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, etc prior to their fame among the hip hop generation. Who decides what's poppin & what the new thing to wear will be?? Is it a group of people or... like what? Who decided the boys on the block that once without apology rocked long white tees, huge pants, and white uptowns would begin wearing aero, AE, H&M, Rugby?? I say this because I was a Rocawear, Pepe, Bo Jackson & Jordan girl at some point also. When does shxt start to change??

For me, it was because I felt I was getting older and felt my style deserved to mature as well. I began to see more, began to people watch, and noticed tons of things can be put together in tons of ways. I also realized that some designers grant more leeway for playing with style as opposed to falling under a specific fashion label or genre (i.e. punk, coutoure, hipster, etc.). I suck at following trends so I go after whatever I like. I offered my cousin a pair of Hollister jeans & he was like "wtf is a Hollister?", now that his peers deem it acceptable he came looking for those jeans the other day. Who the fuck dictates what's okay all of a sudden like the shit just dropped and wasn't out for madd years?? GTFOH follow yur heart, research, and instincts. Everything doesn't look right on everyone. That trendy shxt doesn't always rock, especially if it's all about a name to you as opposed to look, fit, durability, and how well you can piece the item with other shxt..

Me

"You're the hardest instrument that I've ever had to play"
The Noisettes

SoOo.. How awkward and narcissistic is this, huh? That picture is MeEe! UhHh, my name is Ariel. I go by Ariel Natasha. Natasha is my middle name. My twin Asia-Love calls me Brooklyn (Brooke-Lynn). I was born Oct. 9, 1991 and am all of 5'2". Beginning in Sept. 2010 I will be a Sophomore at New York University. I am a vegetarian. I collect toys and memories. I have dedicated myself to art in all of it's many forms and facets. I have been called a Hippie. I travel wherever my heart directs. I'm occassionally a jerk with good intentions, sometimes I'm super goofy unintentionally. Music has always played a major role in my life in having mended relationships and building new ones. I live for socializing and balance. I am addicted to tattoos, piercings, thrift/vintage/indie fashion stores, boxing, football, fitness/exercising, a sexy sneaker, a orgasm-triggering shoe, great food and even better company. I act, model, sing, emcee, dabble in art and fashion, drum, blah blah blah... I consider myself a Self-Expressionist.. What's left to say??

Parallel Univer$e

The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.
William Butler Yeats

“I tend to overlook the little things. No matter how small, they are all equally significant and beautiful…. Amidst all the chaos that is our world I think we all tend to overlook the little positive things that may hold more weight than the negative, maybe not physically, but in how it uplifts our spirit and emotionally effects us….” So here I pay homage to some little things.

Generation Y

"I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees"
Emiliano Zapata

Dear Generation Y,
We are losing, at a rapid pace, some of the greatest minds that have preceded us. If we don't step our shxt up we'll be living amognst some incompetent mother fxckers. With parents that are okay with 9 to 5s, who's saying "Today I make a difference"? Where are our world changers, conspiracy theorists, musicians that challenge the norm & commercial? Who's standing up to gov't officials & standing up for people? Who's telling youth the truth & keeping old traditions alive? See, I'm doing my part, but there's power in numbers... & our numbers are decreasing quicker than we think.
Real Talk,
Bklyn Royale

Essence Dark As Hash

Fashion is only the attempt to realize art in living forms and social intercourse.
Francis Bacon

Outerwear is muy importante as well!!
So I saw a girl wearing polo boots, true religions, and a baby phat bubble coat <-- made me cringe in my seat a bit. I don't know if the mix of brands didn't compliment one another or if like maybe the bubble coat wasn't doing it for me. Maybe the bubble coat woould have been okay had it been a Moncler or Mermot or had the logo not been showing..

Your coat/hoodie/cardigan compliments yooouuu (well the outfit)! Fit, color, cut and length play important roles!! In the winter Idc what kind of shirt I wear underneath whenever I don't plan to take my coat off but once the outerwear is on, it becomes part of the outfit.. See >_>
