fight through the rain

Hat: Gangster Glam Hat, Bonjour Bizou

Shoes: Holiday Hot Buys Whired Shoes, Nelly

Skirt: Grey Rectangled Skirt, Bonjour Bizou

Jacket: Orchid Silk Blazer, Fallen Angel

Jewellery & Accessories: This is Abuse Necklace • Beaded Necklace, Otto

Hat: PPQ Gaucho Hat, PPQ

Shoes: Studded Stilettos, Fallen Angel

Bag: Chanel Chains Handbag, Chanel Tribute

Inspiration: I love this blazer from the new Fallen Angel collection, and, in my opinion, it goes just beautifully with the Tinman Top, which I've always been fond of but never been able to use. Until now! Plus, I just got the Chanel Chains Handbag, which I've coveted for a long time. Unfortunately, the PPQ Gaucho Hat snuck into yet another outfit!

Trousers: Stonewashed Jeans, Bonjour Bizou

Jewellery & Accessories: The Beth Necklace Secrets of the Manor, "In the Middle Books"

Shoes: Cream stilettos, Perfect Day

Bag: Classic Chain Strap Purse, Chanel Tribute

Inspiration: Just fancied a simpler outfit, something laid back but still glamourous; plus, a good excuse to show off my new suite room. I buy so many interiors without use for them...

Am I that girl that you dream of?

Top: Oversize Gown Top, Voile

Dress (Worn as Skirt): Hot Buys Art Dress, Bonjour Bizou

Jewellery & Accessories: Bead Necklace, Windows on the World

Shoes: Nude Gold Heels, Fendi

Bag: Hurit Bag, Miss Sixty

Inspiration: New Fendi tribute store! The vast majority of the collection is hit or miss to me, and as much as I like the Interlock Fendi Tote, I certainly wouldn't pay 60sd for it - such exorbitant prices! However, I did buy three pairs of shoes (all of them nude, oops) and have three more on my wishlist; this pair - the Nude Gold Heels appeal to my fondness for ankle banded heels, but the tone of the gold is kind of hard to work with :(

Furthermore, the tile of this post is from Lana Del Rey's 'Pretty When You Cry', as I was listening to the new album at the time. The lyrical themes can be quite troubling, but ooh how I love Brooklyn Baby and Cruel World; without going for the greyscale she is so fond of, I tried to alter the colour of the image to reflect her gauzy, sun-soaked Americana music videos. Hopefully it looks alright...

Jewellery & Accessories: Gucci Purple Thin Belt, Gucci Holiday Tribute • Large Pave Hexagon Foil Ring, Mawi London

Hat: Azores Floppy Hat, Riviera

Shoes: Sabrine Heels, Nelly

Bag: Blue Bank Bag, Callie's Picks

Inspiration: Nothing in particular, just wanted to use the Violet Print Jacket; I bought the hat on a whim and it's kind of oddly shaped, but for starcoins, I can't really complain! Also, I love the Sabrine Heels, but have never been able to use them until now...

Belt: Gold Belt, Perfect Day

Hat: PPQ Gaucho Hat, PPQ

Inspiration: The Versace Tall Boots were a complete impulse buy, and now I feel like I have to validate having them! However, they are beautiful, the only problem being the greenish tint to the 'leather'...

Blog Change + Outfit: Promenade

The lights of Dollywood have dimmed. User-driven media has dried up immeasurably. 'Modelling' opportunities are hard to come by. Therefore, this blog has undergone a change - and might I say welcome to Lana's Closet! In the event of a modelling opportunity, this blog will still serve as my portfolio - hence the headshots in the right hand sidebar - but now also as a 'lookbook', where I can post the outfits that I've put together and find myself particularly fond of. So, with that in mind, here's my first, entitled "Promenade".

Top: White V Blouse, Decades

Jacket: Cropped Denim Jacket, Miss Sixty

Skirt: Brocade Full Skirt, Decades

Hat: Black Sun Hat, Riviera

Necklace: Gold Accent Necklace, Voile

Belt: Skinny Belt, Archive

Shoes: LiuJo beigegolden shoes, Liu•Jo

Bag: LiuJo black purce, Liu•Jo

Anyway, I hope you like the idea, as I'm very fond of the title - Closet? Canvas? I'M A GENIUS - and also the layout, which I worked hard to customize.

Thoughts on the outfit? Fan of the Stardoll lookbook trend? Let me know in the comments!
