[ Like many of us girls, I turn to my girlfriends about skincare before I venture out into the unknown of a supermarket, pharmacy, or beauty counter for advice.

I wanted to share with you, my "online" friends, some of my girls who have great skin and know way more about make-up , beauty and skin care than I do.

So I've created a new series of posts called "Today's Beauty", that will look inside the cabinets, cosmetic bags of some of the most beautiful people I know, inside and out. ]

Recently came across a post on Buzzfeed about the before and afters of Pin Up Girls. It got me thinking about body image and how we feel about ourselves are closely related to the “norms” imposed by the media or popular culture.

It’s also interesting to see  the fashion from this time, women’s “fuller” bodies, and how even back then they had their version of modern day “photoshoping”.

Can you guys see it – In the origianl photo she  is holding a salt shaker. haha

It’s like my uniform out of the office, and since i’ve been running my own office these days ☺ I wear what I like, and what I like are really nice quality and fitted jeans that hug my skinny legs.

I don’t really do t-shirts but I have tons of simple tops that I rock with my jeans and even more accessories to pump up the volume: like killer heels, bright sneakers, ethnic jewelry, I got it man! My closets a mix of thrift store chic and bad girl freaky finds. Here’s a list of what’s going to be next on my list, and hopefully in my closet soon.

The Driftwood Jean
Pants By Soundgirl $58.00
www.karmaloop.com

I love Soundgirl! Have you ever seen their colorful hoodies? They’re what I like to call “fresh to death”…hehe
And I’ve found that their skinnies(jeans) fit my body good, like a tire on a rim.

Oh, and I haute any denim with back pockets that scream; they add volume to my derrière. That, I can always use.

WeSC
The Eve Jean in Raw Stretch Selvage $114.00
www.karmaloop.com

I feel a weird connection to the guys at WeSC, even though they made way better shit for the guys than they do for the girls, I’m faithful to them because they use quality fabrics and don’t do cheap stitching. You can practically live in their jeans.

This one’s cool because its not as low as many jeans on the market. You know its not all the time that I want to show my ass crack.

The Armed Hoody
Sweatshirts By Tank Theory $68.00
www.karmaloop.com

Ok this is so Gangsta! And I’m not, I know! But who give a hoot, I love it because its so bad ass…Don’t mess with me I’m armed and dangerous.

EVISU GEISHA SLIM FIT GENE by Evisu $320.00
www.djpremium.com

Ok, so the peoples at Evisu finally wised up and did a female version of their widely popular men’s premium denim with the logo on the back and all(remember when only Jay-Z and Pharell used to rock them?), but you have to be a rocking chic to pull this off. Leave it to me…hehe

Aight, So I’ve never actually bought a pair of jeans over $300 but I know for a fact that Evisu makes some of the best denim in the world, fo real. So, If I have it to spare, why wouldn’t I want the best covering my pretty toosh.

Some days I’m ordinary, most days I’m not!
Love – Jahaute!

I love Swiss designers, they have an unpredictable take on everything, and these days I’ve been finding many young emerging designers from there, like Nicole and her line of pretty girly t-shirts embossed with witty dirty sayings called Lochers.

Like the two below that says, “I love Porn” and the other “I really need some fucking coffee”. They all had me giggling, even though I’m not sure I’d wear one, yet, but maybe you would.

These t-shirts are bold enough to make every rebellious high schooler, co-ed and urban chica run to the mall to cop one, but for now I think you can only get them online at here
Even the site is a little bit “sweet & sour”. Check it out.
