BeFitting Couture Haute Quatrième Partie

Givenchy:

With full sheers and other rich materials and exquisite detailing Givenchy again captures a new but classic female essence that is both romantic and nostalgic while still being very modern and cutting-edge. the color scheme was simple but well used in pure whites and nudes. The structure was similiar for most of the garmets yet some broke from the path slightly but only to return to a classic floor length gown. This collection is one of my favorites as sheers and whites are some of my favorite things. Being only ten peices it was short but taking the time to look at all the beatiful detailing made the experince more long lasting.
My favorite look was a white long sleeve peice with fringe accent and matching fringe clutch.

House of Worth:

Known for their beautiful corsetry Worth once again delivers the corset in a new way. The collection has a bow of infinity as it's common factor as well as ribbing hip accentuation. The collection was done in blacks, nudes and some white, with splashes of prints. The detailing on the pieces attests to the amazing craftsmanship that goes to each one of the garments. To me it is the most couture in concept as each piece would have to be made for a specific clients dimensions. Its a really well executed collection, some of the pieces come off as a little over thought but in general the collection hit a good spot for me.
My favorite look was a jacket-corset combo, grey with a cheetah prints in black. The over corset is done in black velvet and has hip accentuating ribbing as well.

Jean Paul Gaultier:

Gaultier stuck to his guns with a continuation of his last couture and dishes out a perfectly rock-and-roll inspired fall couture. The collection featured both male and female models, the females rocked long gowns, mid calf skirts, and tu-tu's, The materials were for the most part very light and flowey with the occasional appearance of leather. The men in couture were dressed androgynously in feathering skirts, long dress-trenches, and sheer decorated leggings. It also featured fur and feather trims, some bead work, and exquisite tailoring. The collection had some concepts that were very reminiscent of past McQueen collections which was hardly noticeable unless your an avid McQueen fanatic. Otherwise the androgyny excited me and was quite empowering. While some of the female peices seemed abit unnecisary or over thought the general consensus of the collection was gorgeously designed.
My favorite peice was a male couture peices, sheer leggings with beading detail. Deep 'V' draped top with silver sporadic print with black beaded trim, and  light grey trench with fur lapel.

BeFitting Me

I know...AGAIN??

I'm really sorry I haven't posted much new stuff and you still haven't been exposed to my experiences from San Fran. I truly do want to share them with you but right now I've got a lot on my hands, and with the spare time that I have all I want to do is relax and play video games or sleep. I know it must seem irresponsible and irrational but it's my last technical summer vacation and I'm still trying to treat it as such. Since my silence is beginning to annoy even me I shall make another post succeeding this one.

It will be on the subject matter of one of my Favorite things on this planet, and the days following that I will post one days worth of notes I took whilst in San Fran, very good?

I hope and thank all of you who have taken the time to participate and read my posts I promise to be a better blogger once things settle a little more here at home. :)

Until then join blogspot and drop me some killer comments on what my first giveaway should be, what you like most about each post, or your favorite style out of all the ones I've done so far. I'd really love to hear from all of you.

Love you all.

BeFitting Me

It's been a bit since I posted something new but my older posts have been doing really well in maintain you all's interest, but tonight was a special night for me. Tonight I filled out Job Applications. It was a grueling time consuming task but the end result will definitely be worth it if I get any of the jobs I applied for. I'm nervous that no one will hire me but it'll just mean I have to broaden my scope of acceptability. Wish me luck.

Either way tonight I became obsessed with heelless shoes which will most likely be the subject of my next poll. (You all seem to like polls and they're exciting for me too. Thanks by the way for all of you who've vote on the current poll on the Villa de su Majestad post.) You all have to help me decide which ones I buy first.

Otherwise I've been really good, tired and in a bit of a rut socially but otherwise things are looking brighter. My nieces will be in daycare soon giving me more spare time, my friend Cristina, who is going to be my photographer for an up and coming shoot saw my inspiration shoots and loved them, so that most of all has me extremely excited.

Well I think that's all, oh, yes...I love you all.
<3

P.S. I'm hopefully going to do a give-away soon. I'll keep you posted ;D

Any suggestions as to what to give away?

Comments always welcome.

BeFitting Villa de su Majestad

Villa de su Majestad is a co-directed fashion brand run by Myself and the one and only James Majesty. While I won't delve to far into our future prospects or the full details of our brand I will say there will be more introspective and retrospective posts about us and our brand.

This post is about what I'll wear when he and I first meet (most likely next summer during a trip we're planning with a few friends). He has already made his choice of a loose fitting Dior Blouse, Black Cincher, Harem Pants, Heelless Boots, and long Teal Hair.
How do you I compare?

At this point, I don't, he totally out shines my original ideas of what I was going to wear and now I have to find something of a new extreme and class. In general this is one styling job that has me quite stumped. But my brother Iram, James, and I have narrowed it down to three separate concept that we are most fond of.

So Eccentric Pop will be the most difficult look to mimic style wise. But the end product is dramatic. Definitely a very high celebrity look that will turn heads. The styling portion would require; a very dramatic hair piece in distinctive colors, a dramatic shouldered piece in a equally eye catching set of colors, and a crazy/amazing seemingly heelless shoe or huge stilettos. This is James' favorite look.

Tailored/Deconstructed Rockabilly is a simple look and is easily translatable in a look that can be bought. It's simple chic yet quirky sexiness makes it daring in a sense of it's own. The styling aspect is simple enough; floor length tulle skirt, tailored red blazer, white oversized shoes, white opaque tights, white sheer button-up. This is my favorite look.

The Hollywood Glam look is a testy look as it requires almost seemless color matching. The idea is very glamourous and simple, and has an air of sophistication to it. This look would require; a trench coat in a strikingly odd color, shoes in the same color as the coat, and a pair of oversized black sunglasses. This is my brother Iram's favorite look.

So now the choice is up to you which could you see me looking most BeFitting in?

BeFitting my Return!

I'm back from vacation and back to reality.
It's been two solid weeks with out a new post, one due to my vacation in San Francisco, and this past week due to a busy week of care-taking.

I have SO many new infatuations and things I want to show you all it's almost hard to decide where to start. Without a doubt you will be seeing post on the following things; My trip, Geisha and Nuns, Japanese Geta, GoJane.com, and some features of other bloggers, designers, artist, and organizations. And maybe even a poll! That might be fun!

It's been both a good week and a tiring week but I won't let the climate of my surroundings get to me. I have to move forward and do all I can to make things around me, including myself, better. I've been sketching a lot and churning out some amazing new ideas that I wish I could share but I don't know if my scanner works.

Otherwise, just be expecting many post and many subject matters.
Love you all.
Be Fitting.

P.S. Going to try getting a job at Macy's!! I want to work in the shoe or visual merchandiser departments. Wish me luck.

Be Fitting in Christian Louboutins

I asked you all to submit your favorite pair of Christian Louboutins in the chance of having me style an entire look around the pair you picked. Madi Salazar, Netty Darko, Rosenda Castilla and a pick of my own are the selected shoes to be styled. Each shoe is individual and a beautiful piece of craftsmanship by the genius designer Christian Louboutin. Some of these shoes are currently in season, some of them no longer in season but still available at fine retailers. I have to say if there was ever anything to splurge on it would be a pair of Christian Louboutins they are a staple as well as a statement. I hope more of you will participate in the next mini-contest. Till then, Love you all and enjoy the styling.

Madame Ascot: (Madi Salazar's Submission)
Couture Black Wings Headpiece --300
Vintage RBG Wiggle Dress --56

Black Rabbit Leather Mask --80
FOLKLORE FIN MINI-DRESS --1800
BLACK DOUBLE BUCKLE WESTERN BELT --350
Daffodil Black Suede Pumps --Available in stores world wide 1100

Each outfit is Unique and has it's own sense of drama and beauty to it, and was styled for what I found was the best way to wear each shoe.

I as a fellow CL lover have to warn you all out there if you buy CL's online do it from a reputable store front. Other sites that sell them for 50% off or under 800$ probably isn't you best shot for genuine CL's. If you are in fact looking for CL replicas make sure the site is just as reputable and high quality, find a site that has pay-pal as a safety measure. But I encourage most of all that you save your pennies, nickel, dimes, and bills to buy a true genuine right out the box pair of Christian Louboutins.

Be Fitting in Summer Cardigans

At the whim of a request from Siah Starr, this next post is dedicate to the ever versatile and lovable Cardigan. While coming in a range of colors, thickness', and styles, the cardigan is one piece of clothing everyone of any gender should have at least one of in their closet. Timeless and classy the cardigan has been around since about the late 1850's. It has in recent years become the fashion staple it is today due to many fashion house's mainstreaming them into their men's runway collections.

BeFitting History

Tonight history was made here in the U.S. of A. Specifically in the state of New York.
Tonight Governor Andrew Cuomo, signed into law the Gay Marriage bill that scantly made it past New Yorks estranged Senate. None the less Gay right activists and LGBTQ couples through out New York are celebrating the monumetous occasion. The anticipation many gay citizens must be feeling is indescribable in a mere 30 days many couples will head to courts state wide to be married. This concept is both heart warming and tremendously game changing for what I hope is only a mere first in many states moving toward passing gay marriage laws. Ha ha, Oh my, I got a little weepy just thinking about it. In honor of this historic event I bring you three same-sex wedding styles for you. God Bless New York.

I hope you really enjoyed looking into my vision of a modern fashionable Gay Wedding attire. Last but not least nothing says I love you when you're proposing; whether your lover is male, female, or transitioning, like a baby blue Tiffanys box and a gorgeous ring nestled inside waiting to be slipped on their finger the moment they say, "Yes."

Love you all.

P.S.
I'll explain why I didnt post for so long recently in a New BeFitting Me coming up later today.

BeFitting Me

It's only about one o'clock. But, it feels like four to me.
Went to the Tanger Outlets in San Marcos today and I'm super drained.
But I figured as my peek toward almost 300 views comes closer it's best to have more posts flowing. Three hundred, from seven different countries it truly is amazing. I thank each and everyone of you for checking out this blog and hope for your continued support. <3

Back to the point.
Today was the first time in a long time I'd been in a formal shopping center. It was overwhelming. I'd forgotten the thrill of trying things on. It's a very ethereal experience. It has me excited to do more shopping. But I also noticed while I was shopping I was pickier and less sporadic in taste than I used to be. I know this is a sign my taste is refining and defining itself which in general is a religious experience of its own.
I'm listening to a play list of Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumours' and Adele's '21'. Both are amazing albums I suggest for all of you to purchase.

I think since today was a shopping day I shall show you what I would have bought today had I had the money to. Also I didn't get to try or buy any heels because my Mother and Father were there. Lame. I'll just have to try getting some soon.

Friend of Jack, Red Touch Black:
Python Knuckle Duster Clutch --Sale 1645
Max Azria Cutout-back crepe blazer --Sale 172
Diamond Skull Pop Art Tank Top --14
Super Skinny Jeans --50
Yves Saint Laurent 'Palais' Platform Pump --720

I love you. Have a great week and be expecting posts through out the week as I prepare for San Francisco!

P.S. Just realized it's NOW four o'clock and it only feels like two. God my sleep pattern is completely screwy.

BeFitting Me

Blogging is a lot harder than I'd thought.
But I like it. I hope seeing as  almost have Two Hundred views in maybe two and a half days that this trend continues and increases. My main blogging inspirations right now, as in what I'd like my blog to feel, look, and the information it provides, are feedmink.blogspot.com, necolebitchie.com, and audrey.buzznet.com.
They each have such an amazing genuine and unique-ness that I hope comes across in my post thus far and past this post.
I suppose I've been trying to hard in a few of my posts and I promise I'll let things flow more naturally.
I'm in love. With this blog. With Fashion. With a boy who could care less. With myself. With knowing someone is actually at some point going to read this.
Haha. Okay. I'm Done.

BeFitting McQueen

Lee Alexander McQueen.

I was going to do this big explanational thing on how I found McQueen and came to love him but it seemed tacky and over glorified.

I love the McQueen brand and what it stands for. The reinvention of woman according to her own level of comfort and drama. His untimely death was terrible. The fact that I wasnt able to ever meet him, more so. He seemed like a man who knew what he wanted and was dedicated to his work completely. You will see alot of his influences in my styling, design, and general aesthetic. Long Live McQueen.
