My everyday style can best be described as rocker with a Victorian streak, although I occasionally go for a mod look; I'm very versatile and the reason I have difficulty describing out my tastes is because they change constantly, but overall, I like complex garments that have a lot of pieces, such as dresses that aren't streamlined and have zippers, pockets, and straps all over the place (I'm not talking a bondage costume, I just mean I like a lot of ornamentation!).

As for my current wardrobe, it consists of three very different categories: premier designer garments, cheap-ass basics from places like Forever 21, and the middlemen--the designers whose bags only cost $500 or so but still make my budget tight.

I love: Alexander McQueen, Marni, Chanel, Chloe, and Balenciaga, as well as Miss Sixty, Morphine Generation, and Salvage.

As for shoes, I like Miu Miu, Chie Mahara, Seychelles, and all the rare birds that Anthropologie sells these days -- I am a sucker for a good oxford heel, but I've been big on knee-high boots lately. Fashion may be in recession right now, but that's no excuse to dress down. I just started updating this thing, so watch this space!
