Fashion: Carnival of Colour S/S'13 by Anya Ayoung Chee

I've been meaning to get back to my Soundtrack Saturday polyvore posts for absolutely ages now, (seriously, it's been months...) so when I saw that tech giant HP, and local darling, designer, and winner of Project Runway Season 9, Anya Ayoung Chee were collaborating with Polyvore  in a contest to celebrate the debut of her Spring/Summer 2013 collection Carnival of Colour , I thought that now was as good a time as any to get back on the horse. For what it's worth, I'm loving Anya's new collection. True to her aesthetic, it's full of breezy relaxed pieces infused with strikingly bold prints. You can't have a Carnival of colour without the COLOUR can you! My personal favourite piece is the gorgeous floor length dress in the bottom left corner. The cut is fabulous and flattering and the print is stunning. My only complaint? There is no way I could wear that dress with my massive boobs and not offend someone! The busty gals love your designs too Any...

Soundtrack Saturday: Call Your Girlfriend

have not done a soundtrack saturday post in WAY too long, but i've been having a good week and i felt like celebrating a bit. what better way to do that than with music? i've love robyn as a musician for a long time. her music is amazing, and it's that perfect mix of all the genres you just love. if you saw SNL last weekend, then you might have seen Robyn perform this very song. It's basically about asking the guy you love to admit to his girlfriend that he has feelings for you and leave her, but nicely. a little homewrecker-y, but it's a great song! for this set, I really tried to emulate what little I know of Robyn's style. she's very electro-pop, and she tends to wear a lot glammed-up pedestrian items. think bedazzled denim! i started with the bustier, jacket, and hot shorts. Robyn dances a lot on stage, and she' usually wearing some variation of this. I chose the bright salmon colour because I wanted to translate the song into more commercial fashion...
