Outfit of the day/that looks familiar: 70's prints

Double segment!?!? 
I live for things of the past. I always say ___ era is my favorite era but anything before the 2000's is intriguing to me but today I'm paying tribute to the 70s. When I think of the 70s I also look back at the part when the redhead in Dazed and Confused says "The 50s were boring. The 60s rocked. And the 70s, oh my God, they obviously suck. Come on! Maybe the 80s will be like radical or something." I could help but yell at the my TV screen and say "HONEY, OH YOU ARE WRONG!" The 70s were great! They had sabbath, they had John Travolta(good looking), Zepplin, high waisted flare pants, platforms, DISCO!! The 70s were great okay?!
A lot of things have been coming my way that exude the best of the 70s like Stone Cold Fox's 2011 lookbook!! and Zara of course delivered my wish list item just on time!

So I channeled my best 70s gal(of course Black Sabbath comes on as Im typing this. Can I be any more 70s?) It's outfits like these that make me wish I lived in the 70s because I have no choice but to wear my pants with platforms cause they're so damn long in length. I want to show the pants off as best of possible. Surprisingly, this is the first day I've worn my Zara pants, why? Well I was just waiting for the right time to wear them but I decided why wait, I should just wear them everyday of my life right? The pants have this Tory Burch similarity to them and I dont really like Tory Burch, but these pants put Tory taaa SHAME.

WEARING: ZARA PANTS, YA. DA TOP, F21 PLATFORMS AND EARRINGS

That looks familiar: the pompadour

Happy Mother's Day to all those wonderful mothers out there, especially my mamacita! Shes da best!
Im starting another new segment on my blog called "that looks familiar" because its been in my head for a while and its about time I get on board with this and you with me. That Looks Familiar will be me basically experimenting. I am constantly trying new things in my life and wardrobe and it just seems necessary to share my exploration into various hairstyles, harem pants, snake necklaces etc. More to come, OBVIOUSLY. All of us know pompadour looks are in for boys and slowly progressing to be for girls too! It's got this vibe that says "hey! I am a man because I grease my hair and carry a comb in the back of my pocket." I'm sure we all dream of walking out of a liquor store to find our pomp man standing there with a jacket over his shoulder and a cig in his mouth, of course he has to be for our team (A single man reference).
This photo MUST explain why I am so infatuated with pomp looks. It's love right here. You get me now right? So, I tried out the look after watching "Heartbeats" because Xavier Dolan redefines the pompadour. He takes it too far(in a good way). There's a slow mo scene where Dalida is playing and he hands the hairstylist a james dean photo. Just go see it. So I wanted try out this look for a few days and loved every minute of it. I think thats why I've been dressing more like a 1950s man lately.
