Today we have a special treat: Bombshell and Blogger Blake Von D from NYC:
She says, “It’s really hard for me to describe my style. I’m all over the place.”
“… My style is very reflective of my personality. Some moments I’m quite introverted and at other moments I’m the life of the party.”
” One thing is constant though–I almost always have on a piece I DIY’d, thrifted or re-purposed. For example, I cut my hair but I figured why throw out a perfectly good hair scarf? So now I wear it as a bracelet.”
“My motto is “Fashion is expensive, style is not.” (quote from Nina Garcia). That being said…I love the idea of fashion, but I could take or leave the labels; unless we’re talking about Alexander McQueen in which case I’d sell my first born.”
” And since I am an undercover introvert, I love wearing what I call “statement pieces”. Whether it’s a quirky shirt or a pair of fierce shoes, I use fashion to entice people talk to ME so I don’t have to initiate conversation with them. Lol. “
“Even the way I wear my hair is a means of generating conversation. Recently I’m really into head/hair pieces–everything from turbans to fascinators.”
