Street Style: Fierce Color

I love it when I see someone who is clearly marching to beat of their own drum and it suits them perfectly. This beautiful girl's ensemble was stunning. She is 18 years old, and her name is Alaima. She said she bought her jacket for a dollar when I told her I liked it. Thrifting skilllllls! I love the proportions, her hair, the colors (burgundy and mint!). Most of all, she looks like no one else; and she looks so comfortable, cozy, and at home in her skin. 

Thank you Alaima!!!

I love the cut of these pale green paper bag waisted pants. And the hint of her funky purse.

Cozy, gorgeous, fierce

Private Diva Moment P.D.M.

 SO! DJ Noisy Nora's return to the stage was triumphant! Hooray! I had a great time playing at Hey Queen! (Pics are forthcoming.) Among my usual Lil' Kim, Sergio Mendez, La Roux, mixin'....I played this song mash up from Glee. Yes Glee. No DJ hipster snobbery here.

I haven't even seen the episode yet but I love it and can't get it out of my head.

"When you played that song, everyone in the room had their own Private Diva Moment."

So I invite you to play this video, 
turn it all the way up 
and have your own P.D.M.
(also known as Private Diva Moment.) 

Back of a Cab OUTFIT POST!

I love reading other people's personal style blogs, and when I read a blog about fashion, I always wonder what that person wears themselves. So I am going to add to the blogey-mix some personal style outfit posts. But I have no tripod. So basically, I use mirrors in public, take self portraits in cabs, and use my partner as a reluctant photographer. I hope you enjoy these beginning efforts. (Think of this as the "before Nora can afford a tripod phase" of my personal style posts)

 

I think this T-shirt is from Express on sale last summer. It looks like it should cost 80 dollars at American Apparel but it was something like 15 bones. I made this lipstick shade by mixing "Stilla Long Wear Liquid Lip Color in Petal" on top of "L'Oreal Infallible Le Rouge Lipcolor, in Ravishing Red" and it matched my T-shirt Perfectly! I don't why this made me so happy that day, 

but it did.

                 The Skirt is actually
a tube dress from summer that I'm making a high-waisted skirt with the magic of a belt. It's a great way to keep your summer stuff working hard for it's moneeyyy.

I think the teal leggings are from target.

The boots are my standard winter black leather boots. My mom helped me pick them out a year ago,  and they are nice and worn in.

 

The Lacy Bra I bought a couple years ago at this amazing little retro lingerie shop called Dollhouse Bettie in San Fransisco. I bought an adorable retro girdle there that I still wear it today. And news to me, they are online! Check them out here: Dollhouse Bettie or go to their store in San Fran if you get the chance. The shop ladies are nice, not afraid of your boobs, and have great vintage style and tattoos.

The "Bella Muerte" tote bag (it's basically a rockabilly girl skeleton, basically awesome!) was hand painted by this lovely lady named Paulina.

She is from LA and makes beautiful handmade things on Etsy.

Check her out here: PAULINAclothing

And if you like the bag, you can grab it here: Bella Muerte Black and White Tote

The Magnifying Glass Necklace I bought at a stall at the Brooklyn flea market, I wear it all the time.

Go Against The Grain. New Music Monday, NY Street Style

This is my new anthem for the week. 

Stop motion animation makes me feel soothed. 

Listen while you peruse these Street Style finds.

Who needs 'pops' of color in their outfit when your hair does it for you? Stunning.

Incredible. Fierce. Leopard. In awe.
