Happy Friday the 13th!

Hello lovelies!  I hope that none of you have Paraskavedekatriaphobia - 

it is the fear of Friday the 13th, which is today!


I like Friday the 13th. In some cultures, it is a day that is considered good luck.
In others, it is considered a day that witches go out to have fun!

According to Wikipedia, the unrivaled source of all knowledge and truth, there is a lot of history and speculation surrounding this superstition.

In numerology, the number twelve is considered the number of completeness. Examples of this belief are the twelve months of the year, the twelve signs of the zodiac, and the twelve hours of the clock.  Therefore, the number thirteen is considered irregular.

There is also a superstition that having thirteen people dining together at a table will result in the death of one of the diners. [Remember in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire?!]

Friday is also considered an unlucky day in many cultures. Therefore, the two elements put together equal a very unlucky day in many people's eyes.

Now, I am not crediting or discrediting this superstition.  Personally, I like to use the day to have fun when everyone else is freaking out!

And you know me, I will take any excuse to dress up. ;]

So here is my Friday the 13th themed outfit for today:

Bad Romance

If you haven't seen this video yet, DO IT NOW.

It is amazing!

As you probably know, I love all things Lady Gaga. I think she is a true artist. Her performance is fabulously over-the-top but she still gives off a down-to-earth vibe of acceptance.

Her new video, Bad Romance, is great in so many ways that I'm not even going to write about it....just watch it.  [And check out the McQueen!]

 

What's inspiring you today?

How to Keep Your Look Hot When It Is So Damn Cold!

I love fall weather! It is my favorite season. Putting together outfits for fall is so much fun. There are so many more choices because you can layer, wear tights and boots, and wear amazing colors.

Sometimes when the weather is changing to winter, it just gets incredibly coldcoldcold. Many of my friends here at school are from other parts of the world, and many have never seen snow or experienced cold weather! I understand their plight: it can be difficult to express style when it is so cold, you don't even want to get out of bed!
In the city it also gets real windy, and in the morning I often feel tired, freezing and lazy! I often end up wearing jeans and my brother's sweaters every day. However, it is good to force myself to get up and put in some effort! Say it with me: effort! So let's drink some coffee, blast some tunes and liven up our looks!

So without further ado, here are some tips on how to stay warm while still looking hot. ;]

♥ Layering! This is the number one thing you can do. Basics are the key to layering. Here are some items that are fabulous for layering:
♥ Long sleeve tops and sweaters.
Here's an example:

♥ tights and leggings! Wear them on their own, on top of eachother, under pants... you have tons of options.

♥ Outerwear!
♥ investing in some quality outerwear is very important for surviving the cold winter. Here are some important outerwear items for winter:
♥ scarves

♥ gloves. I often find that the hands, face and feet are the first parts of the body to get cold. Since they are the extremeties, it is important to keep these parts of the body warm. Don't worry! There are tons of cute ways to keep your hands warm.

What I Wore

My amazing, glamorous mother had her birthday yesterday!

We went out to dinner, and then to a club!

She's an absolute party queen and an inspiration to me.

Here's what I wore!

We had dinner at a fusion restaurant called Tao. They have the best sushi ever, and super cute dessert! I definitely recommend it.

After dinner, we went to Nikki Midtown.  It was so much fun! It had a bit of an older crowd, but the DJ was really good. :]

Did you do anything fun this weekend?
