    News

    I would like to let you all know that the last post was my last for Wearfare ever - I'm now combining Wearfare & Mostly Model into one (and possibly changing the name!), and making it about both fashion and models, and eventually start to include more personal posts, like outfits.

    I will still keep Wearfare up, for people who want to look at past posts (and also because I don't want to delete over a year of blog work!)

    Thank you all so much for reading this blog and be sure to check out mostlymodel.blogspot.com

    You've been the greatest - I look forward to hearing from you all later on my combined blog!

    THANK YOU AND FAREWELL!

    I promise I'll post much more on weekends and when the load lightens up a bit!

    Thanks always,

    Item of the Week

    Not quite sure you want to edge into the tough, studded look just yet? There's no better piece to edge into it than a motorcycle jacket made of soft fleece. It's as easy as a hoodie (but without the hood) and all the style of a leather jacket. To make it preppy as well, try the plaid choice!


    In stores and at ae.com - $89.50

    Sorry for the unkempt look of my latest posts, but I'm still trying to figure out the whole photo sizing situation and how to streamline the font, etc. 

    Hang in there! I'm on my way to getting it all sorted!

    Thank you for your patience :)

    P.S. - In the meantime, here's a cool picture of Lou Doillon and check out mostlymodel.blogspot.com, cause I seem to have figured it out on there...

    Festival Special: Glastonbury

    Yes, I know this is coming a little late, but it's never really too late for great fashion is it? 

    Theodora and Alexandra Richards never disappoint - the unexpected touch of the red lip pairs perfectly with the wellies!
    The hat is a greatopper to this look, and adds an elegance to the otherwise simple ensemble.
    Photobucket
    I've seen this American Apparel onesie worn a thousand times (I own one myself as well!), but never quite so gracefully as this woman does.
    Photobucket
    Friends Henry Holland and Pixie Geldof share similar taste in footwear (although Pixie's are Jimmy Choo), and I'm especially loving her hat and his cut-offs! If I could get over to Glasto next year I'd totally wear Pixie's look head-to-toe. 

    Photobucket
    Bringing out thshoulder pads during the summer? Gutsy, but this woman wears them well. I adore the print on her dress and the whole colour combination of the look is superb. Photobucket
    The silhouette of the dress is classic, but punched up with an extra-terrestrial/city lights print. I've also got my eye on those grey socks... 
     Photobucket
    Model Daisy Lowe is bringing on the fringe trend full-force, with her gorgeous fringed skirt and top. She adds some more western flair with a saddle bag and slouchy boots. Photobucket
    Someone's looking a little Alexa Chung! Nonetheless, I'm loving the whole look, from her tough black buckle boots to her perfection of a mini dress. 
    Photobucket
    So maybe she's trying a little to hard to look like Kate Moss, but Daisy Lowe can still rock PVC pants. I love that she breaks up the all-black look by incorporating different shades of the hue and contrasting matte and shine textures.

    Sometimes it seems that model Lily Donaldson is perfection in human form, and her appearance at Glastonbury only solidified the theory. I can't even pin-point what I love best... the entire ensemble is fabulous, and despite the dirty wellies, Lily herself is definitely not looking like she's just tromped through miles of mud. Photobucket
    Back again is Pixie Geldof and Henry Holland, both wearing coordinating black leather jackets and black boots. Henry looks adorable and I'm loving Pixie's Vivienne Westwood bag!Photobucket

    Girl of the Month... July

    By this point, surely everybody reading this has heard of Megan Fox and the Transformers franchise. Regardless of if you've actually seen the movies, you must have seen of Megan Fox. Perhaps you carelessly mistook her for Angelina Jolie (a mistake both parties would be upset about), or maybe you've been obsessing over her since the very first movie? Whatever the case, she has been inescapable for the past few months, and her on and off the red carpet style has not gone unnoticed. Here are a few of my most memorable moments:

    This is my favourite formal outfit, because it accentuates without showing too much, and has the right dash of sex appeal, but also the right amount of restraint due to the dress' playful colour (reminiscent of Rihanna's lovely past Grammy dress). Also her hair and makeup isn't looking as overdone is at sometimes is, which lends to the relaxed attitude of the look. 
    My favourite out-and-about outfit - I LOVE THOSE LACE LEGGINGS! They're absolutely fabulous, and done in just the right way, contrasted with tough boots and a casual grey sweater. This look gets an A from me (although Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, earns a C at best)
    Sexy, chic, simple, classic - a modern Audrey would be proud. 
    The nude pumps were a good choice, as almost any other colour would detract from the brightness of the dress. Her hair and makeup is beautiful, but I'd lose the strawberry necklace - too 4th grader. 
    Again, with the classic simplicity! Clearly this style works on her body, and this colour and print keep it youthful (just under Michelle Obama territory, not that her territory is a bad place to be at all).
    Dressing playfully for a press conference, Megan keeps this loose-and-light shorts and blouse look age appropriate with a neutral black and white colour palette. 
    A golden goddess at the Golden Globes - I just wish I could erase that tattoo for a moment... 
    Staying away from the slutty look by keeping the palette in the neutral zone again - the grey sweater vest contrasts the black tank-top, and the white jeans are as naturally disheveled looking as regular blue denim. 
    I don't like the matchy-matchy shoes, but for some reason this look works for me. The bold one-shoulder is a nice change of pace from the strapless neckline, and the colour is the perfect complement to her dark hair and tanned skin. 
    Stylishly casual, with her signature boots, skinny jeans, and a comfortable tee, all topped off with an off-kilter fedora (truthfully, at first I mistook her for Gossip Girl's Jessica Szhor...)
