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?

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 SATIN KNUCKLE BOX CLUTCH --1950
Spike Pumps by Christian Louboutin --1500

Maine Street: (Netty Darkos' Submission)
Lobster Brooch --14
Turquoise Linen Dress --175
Stud Quilted White Purse --35
LADY 150 GLITTER PEEP-TOES --805

Midnight Walker: (Rosenda Castillas' Submission)
BLACK SOFT NOVAK --780
Blue Sequin Tuxedo Shirt --36
Black Leather Mini-Shorts --42
Calypso Pumps Black/Blue (Link is to a replica site) --Replicas-180 --Real CL's 820

Everlasting Mourning: (BeFittings' Favorite)
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. The cardigan has been featured in both Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer runways. The following styling is meant for the Spring Summer months. Light and airy cardigans with perfectly suitable Casual and Dressed-up Casual looks.


Kate Casual:

Classic Summer:


Light Picnic:

Downtown Breeze:

These looks are best worn with the cardigans unbuttoned. Just a tip.
I hope this helps you style your ever important Summer wardrobe.
If you have any styling issues you'd like me to help you solve, leave a comment and perhaps I'll choose your styling problem as my next post!

Love you all.

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 an Americano

I met a girl in East L.A. in floral shorts as sweet as May. She sang in eights in two Barrio chords. We fell in love, but not in Court.

This week is very important to the Gay Marriage movement. In the New York Senate Senators are debating and need only one more Republican Senator to support the movement to bring it into law. While in Los Angeles Anti-Gay organizations are appealing the ruling of Former Judge, Vaughn Walker, who after retiring opened up about his own same-sex relationship.

I'm proud that New York is making such a strong push towards legalizing Gay Marriages and of the Los Angeles Gay community who is standing strong in the face of opression.

The looks I present to you today are similiarly unisex as is my favorite form. They are more femimine looks and very light and summery. They were inspired by the song Americano by Lady Gaga, which in it's underlying contexts is a love story between Gaga and a woman she meets in L.A. and how this generation is still fighting for the rights of everyone to be able to love freely. The outfits are styled how I imagine the girl Gaga falls in love with would be dress. I hope you enjoy, please support all the shops that are linked and always feel free to leave comments.




Americano:
Lux Rainbow Flower Headband --25
White Chiffon Sleeveless Button Up --40
Farmer's Market Shopping Vintage Floral Print Denim Shorts --35
Opening Ceremony Leather Platform Ankle Boots --345

East L.A.:
Handmade Fringe brown leather bag --110
Vintage 80s Acid wash cropped jean jacket --12
SML Spring Blooms Romper --75
Senso AGNES --175

If you are reading this in the New York area please contact your Senators and ask them to vote 'Yes' on Fridays vote on the Gay Marriage proposal. Follow this link to find ways to contact your Senators now.
