Face/Beauty Modeling Strike-Out

 So I've been auditioning for some Face/Beauty modeling jobs, and things aren't going so well. *whomp whomp*

 I was pretty proud of my hair-do today, my cornrow abilities are getting **off tha chains!!**

Wearing this sweet hairstyle and purple eye makeup and heels, i met my husband for lunch today in his business suit. Sometimes I wonder what people think of the two of us together. That maybe they expect me to look something more like this...

Hahha, I was looking into it, and for Face/Beauty modeling it really is kind of about a formula, and they are looking for certain proportions. I know that my face is not traditional, and that's ok, i like it the way it is. Like check out this, I guess there is a "Golden Ratio" of Beauty... certain distances of features and stuff, *scientists* have created this "mask" of the measurements and can perfectly superimpose it over the visage of classic beauties such as...

Marilyn (obviously)

Angelina, or

supermodel Agyness Deyn

So maybe I *should* just stick to runway modeling, because *werqin that walk* is something I know I can do.

Back-Up Plan Engage!

Life sucks sometimes.

I had an interview to get onto a PGCE teaching course on Friday, down in Southampton. I thought it had gone ok, because I've got tons of experience in schools, thought I answered all the questions ok and I had all the stuff I needed.

But.

Apparently, that is not enough. And I didn't get in.

Anyway.

Life goes on.

On the bright side, I do have a back-up plan involving sign language, which I'm learning at the moment. Which may still lead to working in school at the very least.

Keeping positive!

But boo hiss.

Trying Spring Trends 2013

Yesterday I was reading Harper's Bazaar and they outlined the most major trends for Spring 2013:

• Lace/Boudoir
• Graphic Prints
• Black/White (Contrast)
• Electric Super Bright Colors
• Ethnic Prints
• Polka Dots/Stripes

So I went to Nordstrom and tried all of these looks on for size! Here's how I did! All of these dresses are available at Nordstrom. Shoes worn throughout are Jimmy Choo "Nova" $665 at Nordies as well.

Lace/Boudoir

Oooooh I love this dress. On the rack, i did not like it. I never really go for a lace dress, i feel like it's too overt sometimes, but this one changed my mind. The under-layer is a slate blue, and it's just oh so pretty. I like that it's lacey, but not slutty at all. hahha, for lack of a better word.
Dress- Adrianna Papell - $188

Graphic Print/ High Contrast Black & White

Another one, on the rack, i thought, "This sucks.". but it doesn't. the different prints are used in a REALLY flattering way, I love the stripes across the bust-line and how it visually is kind of like a strapless illusion! whoa!
Dress- Laundry- $245

Ethnic/Graphic Print

This dress is made of the finest thickest most luxurious silk. I loved just touching it. and the fit is marvelous, like it was made for me. Jesus! Even the waist is hitting at the correct point!
I like this print too, it's very cool. Like a crisper Ikat, kind of Moroccan in a way, you know?
Dress- Milly- $380

High Contrast/Polka Dots

Love love love love this. It's cut like a little girls dress, The waist is sort of high with this super flared skirt so it makes THEM LEGGIES LOOK LOOOOOOOONG. This would be great for a summer wedding. I love how the polka dots aren't scattered in the traditional array, the abstract theme is so cute. It was being sold with this sweet little black patent bow belt, but I think it would look better with a strong COBALT blue belt.
Dress- Taylor- $148

Ethnic Print

The Maxi. I have never even tried one of these things on. One of my sophisticated Stylechatter friends is always singing the praises of the maxi, so I thought, "what the heck". The hubs loved it. I am always reluctant of a tank top bodice, I don't know why. and the skirt was so sheer and flowy and wispy, i felt like some hippie fairy queen. I did not hate it, maybe I will try one in the future.
Dress- Suzi Chin- $198

Electric Brights

Colbalt blue, not a color I do often. The fit is interesting, another thing I'm not used to. It was silky and lightweight and I think flattering? The brightness of the color makes me really happy. I think it's so cheese when "pastels" are in for spring, REALLY? are we easter eggs? NO!
Dress- Eliza J- $138

Electric Brights

This one is a "seizure inducing" SUPER BRIGHT orangey coral. ahhhhhmazing color. It has all these little origami fold details and kind of a faux-peplum! I loved it. This would be great for anything. I would wear this all over town, on a date night, work, everywhere. BCBG dresses always make me happy.
Dress- BCBG- $248
