Oh shoot! New look for Chanel?

While flipping through the summer 2012 issue of V Magazine, I noticed a Chanel ad featuring Alice Dellal.

Alice has a very sexy undercut.

This was almost shocking to me that Chanel would feature a model with an undercut and tattered fishnets. I was loving it. Now a brand that is known for it's tweed and pearls is making an edgier appearance.

Alice is modeling for the Chanel Boy handbag with piercings and tattoos, while also maintaining a level of sophistication in Chanel attire.

Karl Lagerfeld shot the campaign photos himself, and I am truly obsessed.

I'm feeling better about the fashion industry's choices with models lately.

My Week in Instagrams

So much has happened since coming home!

I had one free day to myself and then I started working full-time. I've only had 2 days off since being home, so it's been really tough to post. Also, I only have tomorrow off until Sunday, and I'm going to be unpacking. I pretty much have no life at all outside of Claire's.

This is why I will be updating with Instagrams since coming home 10 days ago.

Most importantly, cats. I love my cats. The picture below is of Stinky, she's my kitty in the household and I love her too much. I was too excited to see her once I got home.

Robert and I reunited as soon as it was possible. Summer felt like it really was beginning. 

My sister, Alexa, and I went to Justina's house for a female empowerment bonfire with toasty s'mores. It really was empowering.

 Justina is a crazy person.

Don't judge me, my cat is a model. I can't help but take too many pictures of her.

I'm hopefully going to do a post on my obsession with rose gold soon. Thanks to this watch, I am the happiest gal in the land. It was only $30 at Macy's and it completely beats the $270 Michael Kors one I wanted (not really, but I'm trying to convince myself). It is such an awesome watch and I am madly in love with it. 

After work yesterday I went to my Nana's house to catch the end of a family barbecue for Memorial Day. We made some delicious s'mores (I love them so much) with HUGE marshmallows. It was amazing. 

This morning I went with some of my family to Albany to watch the Memorial Day parade. I harassed military school boys with questions that they weren't allowed to answer and took pictures of the few funny things there. I don't really like parades, but I found ways to entertain myself. 

For work I made myself a little hair bow bun thing. It was so cute, I wish I took a better picture. 

Now I'm settling into bed with some very strong chamomile tea. Hopefully this will make me relax after a stressful and busy week. 

OH! Also, my sister introduced me to Cinemagr.am and it is SO AMAZING! Check some of mine out here: http://cinemagr.am/web/user/1604195

Back home

Last night I got in after a seemingly long trip from school.

I have so much to unpack still, it's crazy in my house right now. I'm looking to do a nice clean-house this summer and get rid of a bunch of stuff and send it off to the Salvation Army or Goodwill.

I promise I will get back to regular posting this week. I just need to get some stuff in order and get out of this craziness!

Rare DIY Occasion

This will probably be the only time this will occur in the lifespan of What To Do-It-Yourself, but I made a DIY video.

I hate videos. I am terrible at them and I hate taking the time to edit them, so for now this is a rare occasion.

The video is a DIY Dolce and Gabbana Tiara from Honestly...WTF that I decided to use for a class project. The song is "Julia" by Jahzzar.

It's so dorky, don't make fun of me. I'm a little proud of it though.

Here are a few pictures from during/after the shoot. 

 

 

Guilty Pleasures

Ok, no judgements for this post. Seriously, I'm embarrassed, but I cannot help it.



I am in love with Kitty Pryde. I'm not going to post her video on here because the song a little inappropriate, but I'll give you a link to "Okay Cupid". If you are a Kreayshawn fan, listen to it! I am madly in love with it. Her music is hilarious and strangely addicting. I think I've listened to "Okay Cupid" like 30 times since yesterday.

You can listen to more of her music on her Bandcamp. I'm totally buying it. I want to give her like all my money. I seriously love her.
