Pastel Entry for Polyvore.

I have tried my hand at the contest for Polyvore. It's been the site you've been seeing so much of lately. Frankly, I love putting together items, making a thought come through on here more than just one frame at a time. A video, if you will, of a complete thought.

Well, this is my attempt at "pastels". Frankly, I think they are underrated. (Thanks 80's!) I think now days there is a lot of Whimsy to Pastels. And that translates into a totally unique look for the young professional woman.

So that was the angle I took on this one. Let me know what -you- think...

Blood runs Deep in the True South

Blood runs Deep in the True South by Megan Mitchell featuring Tarina Tarantino jewelry

So my roommate is really into the True Blood Series. And I wanted a few episodes. I like how it made the unbelievable believable... in an alternate universe sort of way.

I also love the blend of old and new ways. And I thought it being depicted in the south of brilliant. Always a slight undercurrent of resistance to the change of things deep rooted in tradition and steeped in a way of life that you must experience to understand.

Over all I'm going to try to give the show some more time to grown on me.

Alice in Wonderland by Megan Mitchell featuring Juicy Couture panties

As Ironic as it seems, this humble mathematician, has created a whole existence of thought, vocabulary, art, vision, and fashion from his books. This is just an collage of some of our interpretations of that work.

P.S. It's not featuring Juicy Couture panties. I just used the tea cup. Apparently panties are inside. Who knew. Not my first thing to think to stick in a tea cup and sell. I guess I'm not "Juicy Couture" enough. Besides, my butt wouldn't fit them anyways. I'm not tea-cupped sized. I'm a woman.

I recently attended a Mustache Party. I dressed in a Sheath Dress with a mock ruffle front white top and black high waisted pencil skirt with a chunky belt, Black pumps, and I was cute to boot. So even though I am having technical difficulties, Cough*Computers Suck*Cough, I felt I needed to Ode something. And why not the 'stache?

Classic looks like Audry Hepburn and Jakie Kennedy will always be in style. It is a good look to invest in. And it happens to be a style that looks good on many body types and with the length of most of the styles you can wear slimming undergarments that will make you look seamless.

Spring in your Step

I know fellow readers, it has been a long time... Through a few disabilities, mostly my clutzyness, I have emerged  nearly whole again. I fear I shall have to make this entry all about the shoes I can not wear quite yet. Sprained ankle... Pout*

These remind me of basket purses. I'm totally into renewable resources. And I have a few myself. I think it makes them very whimsy and not hoe-baggy. By indie designer Poetic License.

These are so whimsy. I totally fell in love with them. You could easily wear these Marc by Marc Jacob's flat with a lil' yellow or white sundress. I would personally load it up with lots of bangles and pull out all the stops with my white bamboo woven vintage bag and one of my Japanese paper parolsols. But I'd keep the make up in check. Lip gloss, cover up, and mascara only.

I don't know if I've posted about these shoes yet. I probably have. They are on my -really- want list. Could easily be dressed up or dressed down. If just wearing a black t-shirt, white cardigan, and jeans. But you can't forget your pearls with these shoes. I think my Tartan Target bag will be just fine.

There was a lot of tributes to Alexander McQueen on DIY sites recently. This was one of my favorites. By MijoUgly on .

A great new site I've completely fallen in love with. Not only is it Etsy-esque, but those who own shops can blog and really connect with their artistic qualities relating to what they do. And for 60 bucks, those are really cool heels.
