Met Ball 2013, Punk: Chaos To Couture

I haven't been around lately, I know. Hi, though! *waves* :D

Recently, designers, actors, models and other fashion fiends attend the annual gathering known as the Met  Ball. The theme this year was "Punk: Chaos to Couture". In my honest opinion, it was more of chaos than "Couture". How did Anna Wintour not wear her sunglasses to the event? Some Majority of them need classes on how to dress according to a theme. 

Very few actually made the effort and embraced the theme this year. Punk has been one of the toughest themes.

Miley cyrus did a good job. She stuck to the theme.

 Kim Kardashian's outfit was a disaster. It was so bad that she was Kropped out of Vogue's Met Gala slideshow. She wore a floral maternity gown with gleeves designed by Riccardo Tisci who himself defended her oh so sweetly. Dear Riccardo, Punk is defined as either "being rebellious" or "an inexperienced young man" so what exactly were you trying to do by designing a FLORAL maternity gown for her?! "I wanted to have a Kim Kardashian moment".. you sure did.. but you made her look like a house. I am not even going to apologize. 

This is what Tom and Lorenzo had to say -

"Look, there’s been a lot of virtual ink and tears spilled over criticism regarding her maternity wear choices, but we have to be honest here. There’s no way for us to argue that this looks anything but awful on her. We’re one hundred percent behind the idea of pregnant women showing off their pregnancy and indulging in high fashion, but we firmly believe that certain looks should be considered off the table by any of her gays, stylists, or other dressing room co-pilots. People need to be steering her away from mermaid skirts and pencil skirts, as well as skin-tight over-busy gowns like this, which make her look like she can’t breath and have us assuming that little Kanye Kardashian Jr. is banging on the walls from the inside and screaming about how he wants a bigger room.

Don’t even get us started on the one who couldn’t bother wearing an undershirt, tie, belt or properly hemmed pair of pants." (Via tomandlorenzo.com)

NO!

Alexa Chung... Goth or Punk?

Beyonce looked like a queen, as usual. But the THEME, Bay, the theme. Didn't expect this from her but expectation reduces joy so whatever.

Rooney Mara reminded me of Dragon Ball Z (the japanese cartoon) for some odd reason. Jokes aside, she went for white when majority of them went for black... *slow claps x 4*

Anne Hathaway looked perfect. Her look was edgy and glam and way way waaaaaaay better than Miley Cyrus' look.

Sarah Jessica Parker looked adorable. Many may not agree with me on this but Punk was one of the toughest themes and she really pulled it off in a beautiful way!

Nina Dobrev wore Monique Lhuillier. Chanel and Dior introduced this dress-over-pants style a few seasons ago and Nina Dobrev pulled her outfit off so beautifully!

Is this a Halloween costume? Or is she going on a mission? 'Cause she was dressed to kill. *pours acid in my eyes*

I think I'm gonna go.

Little Black Dwess

School has started and I'm in the twelfth grade. I'm in the final year of school and I feel.. weird. The level of maturity I'm at makes it hard for me to believe that this really IS the end- and a start, too. The fact is... life is going to go on, we are going to get old. We are going to move from one phase to another. We are going to face certain challenges. We are going to have to choose.. I'm just scaring my own self so let me end it here. That was deep, though. (O.O)

Wearing: Black Dress: US'10; Wedges

I have a few (little) black dresses. It depends on when I am going- day or night. A black dress is an essential component of any girl's wardrobe because it is versatile. You can wear it at anytime of the day or night. The one I am wearing is for a summer afternoon, though.

I paired my dress with a pair of wedges that I bought specially for the Indian summer. I can't really handle pencil heels because the heat is already effin annoying so a little more support would be good, thank you.

I'm going to be a little irregular with the posts because.. final year. Asdfghjkl. Okay bye.

Wild Hair..

..Don't care. I haven't blogged for quite some time. Exams have been ruining my life for the past two months.

My hair looks pretty wild here which is exactly like the state I was in for the past two months. Twitter being a mother effin addiction that it is, is one reason for my sucky preparation. Anyway, what is done is done. I can't really do anything about it..... BUT ALL I WANTED WAS A PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY, GOD. Y U DO DIS TO MEH? 

On the last day I went with my buddies for ice skating and bowling and basically for all the things cool children do. I should tell you that while ice skating (even though I am pretty darn good at normal skating, y'know), I fell twice on my ass, twice on my face and twice while getting up. I wore the very same top I am wearing in this post- the sleeves were so long that I was looking like a scare crow on blades. Couldn't really handle them 'cause I was afraid I was going break my two teeth.  Now that I'm done embarrassing myself, let's move onto the outfit, shall we? 

 Wearing: Top: Thrifted; Bandage Skirt: US '10 Patents: Next 

   Stripes have been a rage this spring and I thought I'd do something... edgy, if you will, for this post. I bought this top from GK, one of the hubs for all the good thrift shopping. I personally love loose tops with fitted bottoms and I couldn't say no to this one. This abstract black and white bandage skirt has been in my closet for the longest time. I had to get it altered a bit since it was really loose for me. Print on print is not really my thing but I like the look of this outfit.

What do you think?
