Nightmare Before Christmas

Break has been pretty nice having not to worry about homework and tests. I missed my friend Sonia so much and she has been wanting to model for me! Here is our photo shoot from today! Sonia is wearing a H&M dress, Forever 21 tights, and Allsaints boots. I am wearing a French Connection dress, Hue tights, Jeffrey Campbell heels, the 2nd collar I made!!! I made it out of random metal pieces from around my house! Click to enlarge!! We crept around dark trees, climbed on fences trying to run away from our nightmares and fell into the deepest cracks of the earth. Save us,

Blood Maroon

Hey guys I was really in the mood to do a photo shoot yesterday it was a school night so it had to be quick! I set up my camera and put to the timer, and took some shoots of my self. I went shopping yesterday as you know and I also got this floppy maroon hat and these cool tights. I layered two pairs of tights, plain black ones and my new maroon ones. I am wearing Forever21 and HUE tights, a black long sleeve, my American Apparel skirt and my new Jeffrey Campbell "back bow" shoes!!! Enjoy, Chloé Akari

Early Christmas Gift!!

These are my new shoes Jeffrey Campbell "back bows"!!! I am in love with them!!!! I tried them on at Akira and they were the last pair, I needed them!! My very nice aunt bought them for me! Maroon is my favorite color right now. I have wanted/ needed a floppy hat and I either wanted a maroon or black one and I found a maroon one to go with the shoes and a pair of tights. The tights are really cute ^ as you can see above. I also LOVE the hat, I will be doing a photo shoot soon with all my new things! Oh and I also made a new collar!! Happy Holidays!!!

Oscar De La Renta Pre-Fall 2012

Hello!

Oscar De La Renta has blown me away from his past few runway shows. His collections are so inspiring and all so lovely. I wish I could own/ be able to wear some of his pieces out. I love clothing that is not "ready to wear" the couture pieces and the pieces that are unique. I wish I could wear a gown and go walking downtown. Over all I love this collection so much!!!! I hope you do too!!

 Enjoy

The purple in this dress is perfect and I love the plastic bag!!!

Love the pattern on this the floral reminds me a little of a Monet painting.

This blood sequin or beaded dress is just fantastic!!

I love the different textiles and shape of the skirt.

The layering of netting is paired very nicely with the black and gold belt.

J'adore the effortless look to this dress, shredded vibe.

The detailing in the top of this gown is amazing.

This is a goddess gown.

I think the neckline is very interesting and I love the waist line.

For the last three pieces I would do anything to have them!!! The detail in this one...

This is my favorite one of the whole collection!!! I am obsessed with the lace and cool little black pieces sewn all over, it is a work of art.

She looks so elegant in this, I love how Oscar De La Renta makes his gowns very whimsical and big. 

Death Walks.....

Hey guys!

It's the twins again matching and back in action. I have been inspired by this rose it is on my tumblr it won't let me post it on blogger but check it out on (akarisunlight.tumblr.com) and I hope you will be inspired too!! I was going for a darker shoot, hard and soft concept. The ruffles and ripped tights contrast each other. The coldness in the air and the miring of the twins sets off a new story.

 Please enjoy,
