There's a new It Girl in town...say hello to Sky Ferreira.

audreystardust — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 23:28:32 PST

18 year-old Sky Ferreira is an underground LA singer and IMG model who has recently taken the fashion world by storm. I fell in love with her when she first appeared in H&M's "fashion against aids" campaign, and then shortly after, hundreds of pictures of her began flooding my tumblr dashboard. It was then that I realized, I'm not the only one obsessed with this girl.

Her style is complete and total perfection. From her thrown on oversized men's button-ups to her ripped up fishnets and beat up boots, Sky embodies that entire "cool girl" vibe. There's literally nothing better to me than a girl who looks like she just rolled out of bed and couldn't give two shits if her hair is in the right place or her outfits matches itself. It's the idea of being perfectly imperfect that she does so well. Sky's look is so rock n' roll and like none I have ever seen before. She has become a main style inspiration of mine, and I can't wait to see all the future looks she is bound to rock.

Style diaries for these warm winter days..

audreystardust — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 21:34:46 PST

I've decided that I'm going to start making individual posts for my outfits again. I'll still put all the pictures in my style diaries album (http://dressingupindaisies.onsugar.com/My-Style-Diaries-19238406) but I've realized I like when there's individual posts for every few of my outfits better. Especially since I got my new camera for Christmas and I don't have to use my freaking phone camera anymore, thank god!

The importance of art in one's life.

Rachel Zoe on Sexiness

audreystardust — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 01:57:08 PST

“

Sexiness should not be overt. Something shapeless that drapes across your hip, hangs off the shoulder; something that cowls in the front, drapes low in the back, that's sexy.

”Rachel Zoe

A fascination with Terry Richardson

audreystardust — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 01:51:41 PST

Terry Richardson is an American photographer that is most well known for his provocative and sexual photographs of models, celebrities, fashion, and even himself. He is famous for his risk-taking advertisements, editorial photographs, and fashion photographs. There's something so eye-catching and different about his work that sets him apart from other photographers of today's time. The images that he produces are so raw, and he has this unexplainable ability to bring out a side that is so weird and outrageous in his subjects. I love that whenever I see one of his pictures, I instantly know "Oh, that's a Terry."

He recently collaborated with ultimate artist herself, Lady Gaga. You know that when you pair up two creative geniuses like them, you are bound for spectacular perfection. The last two pictures above are from their book, Lady Gaga X Terry Richardson, and as you can see, Terry catches this rare "behind-the-scenes" side of Gaga that the public hasn't seen before. Shock-value is something that is experimented with by both of them, and it is clearly present in the work they have done together. I need to get over to Barnes & Noble soon to get this!!

Celebrity Style: Miley Cyrus

audreystardust — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 23:31:16 PST

I'm not gonna lie- I've never been the biggest Miley fan. I'm in the generation that was just a few years too old to get hooked into the whole "Hannah Montanna" craze, so I spent most of my younger childhood thinking I was way too cool for Miley Cyrus.

That is, until she grew up...and, as did I.

Now I consider her one of the best (if not, the best) dressed younger celebrities of today. I seriously can't even express how obsessed with her style I am. She is the perfect mixture off beat-up rock n' roll ruggedness and effortless polish. There's nothing that I love more than a girl who looks like she just rolled out of bed, and Miley captures this sort of look so well. I love how she plays with texture and layering, but tends to keep the color scheme of her outfits on the neutral side. Miley has that priceless "cool girl" factor, which shows she isn't afraid to take risks and wear whatever the hell she wants whenever the hell she wants. Another thing I love about her is that she always looks breath-taking on the red carpet. This girl cleans up nicely from her signature leather and ripped denim. Her style is definitely one that I'm always keeping my eye on, and take inspiration from constantly.

Love, Audrey

New layout/theme..thoughts??

audreystardust — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 22:01:39 PST

I felt like the old theme on my blog was a bit busy and I have had it for a really long time. I was thinking: new year, new theme, why not? Except I'm having trouble finding exactly I want in a theme. Clearly, I'm looking for something much more simple than I had before. I want the focus to be more on my posts and less on the background, colors, etc. The theme I have right now is as close as I think I'm going to get..but I'm still not totally sure. Please give me your honest opinions on my new theme, and maybe suggestions on better themes!:)

Love, Audrey

Long time no blog!!

audreystardust — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 21:23:39 PST

It's been a while, huh? I finally have enough time that I've decided I'm going to start blogging regularly again from now on! The year is almost to an end, which marks the two year anniversary for Dressing Up In Daisies...isn't that insane?? Anyway, I hope everyone had wonderful holidays and has been doing well! I'm going to start off by talking about my top 3 favorite things that I got for Christmas this year!

1. My biggest present was my new baby: a Canon Rebel T3!! This is going to bring a tremendous amount of good to my blog. Say goodbye to my awful quality mirror pics in my style diaries...and hellooo to amazing new pictures!:)

2. I now own my first pair of sunglasses that are over $12! These Rayban Clubmasters are soo cute and give off that effortless vibe that I love.

3. Okay, this is literally my dream eyeshadow palette. It has basically every color I could ever imagine or want. I feel like now that I own this I'm never going to use any other eyeshadow but the ones from this Urban Decay palette!!

Love, Audrey
