The New Black Is Purple

6.12.2008

I'm not very partial on being matchy matchy, especially color coordination -- it just doesn't appeal to me since it mostly turns out tacky. However, there are exceptions. Such as when you miraculously discover that your old cardigan and brand new pumps have an uncanny, similar purple hue to it, and you just have to pair it in an outfit together.

  • Tanktop: Ron Herman
  • Cardigan: Velvet
  • Shorts: Ksubi
  • Belt: My little brother's
  • Pumps: Frye
  • Necklace: Forgot the designer
Aside from that, Ted finished his finals (finally!) which means we can start another video blog. We've been eager to create another since our first one! I kid you not, the second he finished his final, he texted me "let's vlog (video+blog). Well, we need content, so ask us some questions (it doesn't have to be about the blog or about fashion).

And if you're a recent reader and you have no idea what I'm talking about, here's the first video we posted.

You are so pretty, and I love the matchiness of the outfit. There's nothing like matching shoes and clothes/accessories. It exudes so much class!

N said...

Great cardigan!

I hope to one day have a blog like yours. I'm at www.natashaeng.blogspot.com - I'd love to exchange once I get a new one underway!

Can you tell me how you got your hair to be that way in your vlog? Is it naturally wavy or did you get a perm? It's gorgeous!

Laurel said...

I was cracking up the entire time through that video. Can I guest host this summer, yespuh-lease?

I love those Frye pumps. Crazy hot outfit, bb. xo

That outfit was coordinated perfectly. Great job!
I've been reading your blog for a while, just never commented. I really love it.
I just recently started a blog myself. It would be great if you would check it out, "http://fashionstheword.blogspot.com".
I'll be adding you to my blog role.

Laurel said...

Hey you hot, hot, hottie Mchothothotface. I'm totally bored out of my freaking mind, Father's Day is boring and I don't even think my Dad knew it was Father's Day.

Whatev, so yeah, you're totally amazing for voting for me. It's like I'm running for president - seriously. I'm the Obama of VMagazine or something ridiculously awesome like that.

I need a fricking vacation, Raych. Reno is nas-tay and boring. I'll come to LA for mah birfday and we'll go shopping and dancing. I promise I'll wear flat sandals or if I wear heels I'll just walk on the street and you can walk on the sidewalk, yesss.

xoxoxo

alis said...

How about a fashion show for the vlog? Obviously you have great items in your closet, and you put them together in such effortless outfits that we all enjoy and can easily translate to our lifestyles. I would love to see the cool clothes in your closet in a vlog!

Raych said...

If you mean the Goldfrapp video to the right, you can just pause it, or you can click the video twice (once to play) and it will lead you to the direct Youtube page.

Sorry you had to blast your headphones the first time around!

Fashion Therapist said...
