Style Girl of 2009 Zoe Saldana

Hey Everyone. Its me Olivia wishing you a Happy 2010!!!!!

2009 is gone and thats okay, because it was just that a, “OKAY” year. Nothing life

changing but definitely not boring. And, for that reason I’m really looking forward to 2010. I believe that this is my year for expanding my creative side and letting loose. Building up better foundations and tiring down crumbling shacks. This year is about taking risks and watching them pay off. Just like my Zoe Saldana did in 2009. This dancer turn actress was in some of the most talk about films of last year. From Star Trek to Avatar she was all over the map literally. Every red carpet she hit from Japan to London she looked amazing. Never over doing it like most of last year celebrities i.e Beyonce and RiRi. Always sexy without even having to wear skin tight clothing. Playful and city chic in jeans and a blazer. And always the right amount of accessories. Especially when she is with her boyfriend Keith Britton from CSI. Laid back and cool, her style seems effortless on and off the red carpet. Thats why she is my 2009 Style Woman of the Year.

If your going to spend $10,000 who want it to look great. So take hint Beyonce less is more because your 10 grand went to waste at the BET awards.

I know you can't help but to look at her. The dress is so relax but all so sexy.

Uptown Chic with a hint of undone.

This is the big shoulders done right. When you working with so much on top everything else should fitted to the body and simple. Take this hint RiRi and Beyonce and you too Kim.

What do you need with any bling when you got all this great metal work.

Fun and Flirty free. Love this dress!!!

White Hot!!!!!

And even Zoe had competition.........

Well I have to go brace my for the cold now so later peeps lol. XoXoLivvy

Worst Fashionable Girl of 2009, Rihanna

Happy 2010 again guys!

As you all know, Olivia has joined the Fashion Scavenger. Along with me, she will be writing new posts, taking pictures, offering fashion advice and anything else that comes to her mind.  We've known each other for about a year. We worked next door to each other and what else are girls supposed to do but have talks about lame trends, our favorite stylish celebs, fashion magazines and etc. She has traveled the world, is a non conformist and  is truly amazing. Welcome Olivia!

So on to the Worst Fashionable Girl of 2009. It is no one else but Rihanna. Some people may stone me for saying that but I don't care. Rihanna is over-styled and overrated. Sorry Ri Ri, but you need to keep it relaxed,pretend like you didn't try too hard to get dressed in the morning and stop looking for paparazzi. You are always going to trendy places( conveniently everyday), and to the places where you know the paparazzi are hiding and hanging out. You want to be seen and I think with that mentality, you need to find a better stylist. Your stylist obviously hates you. She always puts you in outfits that emphasizes your hips in a bad way. One rule of styling Ri, if you are pear shaped, wear shapes that camouflage the hips, not emphasize them. This means full skirts, high waists, bootcut/ straight legged pants, blazers and defining the tiniest part of you, your waist. It is always a hit and miss with you. Your songs are so bad, they make my ears bleed. I don't know why you are famous, but Rihanna, I'm annoyed with you.

Seriously Ri, where are you going? It looks like you're at a red carpet event. I don't think a Zebra print jumpsuit with tiger cuts is quite appropriate now is it?

Looking through all the horrible pics of you Ri, I realized you are in LOVE with this ugly leather hat. Do me a favor and please stop wearing it. This is really bad styling. Does your stylist not know that a shirt that high on your hip along with a point in the middle will EMPHASIZE YOUR HIPS AND MAKE YOU LOOK BIGGER THAN WHAT YOU ARE.

Was this made during a high school sewing class?

Ri, Please, this is breaking my heart. Really? Really. Be natural, Be yourself. Fine, have a stylist but make sure they are making you look better than you naturally are. Bleached jeans are so unflattering on pear shapes, matter fact on everybody. They will make anybody look bigger, including boys. It draws major attention to your hips. The baggy shirt and pink fringe heels doesn't help either.

Sadly I wish I was kidding when I say all of these photos were taken in 2009. Newspaper pants?

Ri ,you are a beautiful girl. Why you add a bad honey blonde hair piece in and unflattering plum shade on as lipstick is beyond me? This is the WORST outfit I have EVER see you in. You were aged about 20 years with this makeup and honestly you remind me of that aunt  on TV who is always drinking beer and smoking 3 packs a cigarettes a day. I don't even want to talk about that dress.

Ri, I don't mean to dog you but I think it is your right as a human being, singer and "fashion icon" to tell your stylist when YOU think you might look  a little crazy. Come on! You have a voice don't you? Hopefully 2010 will be filled with better styling from you miss. It's hard to win my heart back...

Yo, Its Me. Its Who? The New Girl In Town. LIVVY!!!!!!!!

Hey Girls and Guys, My name is Olivia but most people call me “O” or Livvy , either one is fine by me. I’m going to be a new contributor to Fashion Scavenger helping my girl Lesly keep the blog up and giving you my view point about fashion and its crazy world. A little bit about me: I grew up in New Orleans, went to college in New York City for a few years and I’m finishing at UNO with a degree in History and pre-law. While I was in New York I developed a love for fashion and how people used it to express themselves. To me fashion is something you don't just see on the cover of magazines and on TV, its not about labels, or how well you can walk in those 12inch Alexander McQueen Alien shoes. Its about enjoying what you put on, helping you to express your mood for that day. So what Lesly and I envision for the blog is to give you a view point thats full with honesty and not to conform to fashion standards. Because I know your thinking that you have had enough of Lady Gaga and Beyonce craziness ( even tho I do like Lady Gaga lol). So show me some love and the blog too. I’ll see you SOON!!!!!!!!!

My Favorite Fashionable Girl of 2009, Zoe Kravitz

Hey All! Happy 2010!

I'm so excited for this year. Usually even numbered years work out for me better than the odds, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed(2009 was kind of wack). If you have been following my blog, you know that I am a HUGE fan of Zoe Kravitz. Yes, the daughter of hot daddy, Lenny and my idol,Lisa Bonet. I have always talked about her in my blogs but wasn't able to back it up with enough great photos of her amazing style. Now that she is the face of Vera Wang's perfume, dumped Ben Foster(who I absolutely ADORE) and started going out with "that guy from MGMT", the world is finally falling in love with her. Meaning, more photos of her style online. Happily, I found
some photos of her with her more adorable" I just woke up and I didn't try too hard, but I did, yet you can't tell" type of style

Zoe Kravitz

Adore.

I want a head wrap like this. I'm not too crazy about the leggings.

Dedication to Clarissa Explains It All and the 90s.

Strolling around NYC,relaxed,simple and cute.

Fashion week. I love! So chic and age appropriate.

Zoe and her hot daddy Thumbs up for both outfits!

Zoe has a way of looking undone and carefree without looking sloppy

Love the boots!

L.A. done right.

my favorite outfit ever! Very Lisa Bonet-ish. Maybe that's why I'm in love with her mom.

Relaxed but great for night time. Lovin' the red lip and exposed shoulder!

Adorable! I love when Zoe gets crazy feminine<3

I wonder if she has a stylist? I hope she doesn't because this seems like her own natural cool carefree style. It pays to be creative! But if she does, KUDOS to her stylist for making her look like herself and not like an overstyled poser


Don't worry I'll post the Worst Fashionable Girl of 2009 on here tomorrow.

My Christmas List 2009

Happy Holidays!

For those of you who know me, this list should be very helpful in finding something for this highly energetic super extroverted nonstop talking machine sometimes hard to shop for girl. I have been online shopping mainly for my closest friends in the last few days and luckily have been finding some HEARTBREAKING gifts for me, meaning good news for you. No need to to stress out if i will like it or not, the proof is in this blog. If friends aren't allowed to give me these gifts, you have to admit the images are quite inspiring. But if I do get some of these items, my heart will be repaired.



I finally got my ears to a 00 gauge and now I'm ready to start decorating! These quartz crystal plugs are beautiful. There is nothing else. Just Beautiful.



OH MARC! The things that you to do to me! I am not a perfume analyst nor can I ever describe scents to people, but Daisy is quite different. As soon as I sniffed it, I thought, "oh shit! I may have found my signature scent." It was SO me. It was very girly but yet mysterious with a small hint of a type of musk. It would work well for day or night. The best part? The smell is not overpowering or nauseating.



I am all about the newest gadgets and technology. But really? An Ipod Dock that is made out of Lego's is just GENIUS.I have not been wowed by the latest gadgets in a long time, but this Lego Dock has changed my mind and is actually quite refreshing. As a child growing up all around Legos, SNICK, Cabbage Patch Kids and Where the Wild Things Are, this Lego Dock truly steals my heart...




I have been in love with combat boots for the last two years, not to mention on a hunt for them also. I have yet to find a perfect pair in my size...until RECENTLY when I found them on DSW.com in a size 11 by Madden Girl. UNBELIEVABLE. These boots would be even better in the Black Floral Doc Marten Combat Boots. Those are just GLORIOUS!

This just might be the most versatile,inspiring christmas list with the most useful items I have ever made in my life.

Splurge!

Hi Hi Hi,

I've mentioned before that I've been "online window shopping" this entire summer mainly because I don't have a job. No Job=No $$$= No weekly shopping. So I've just been eyeing a few things, online and in stores. My heart sometimes clutches followed by events of sadness. Every time I find something I love, I make a promise to myself that once I get a job, my paycheck is going straight there. This recession has weirdly made me really obsessed with higher end clothing and designers. To give you a little more insight, my future paycheck will most likely be going to Marc Jacobs, Banana Republic, Top Shop, Solstice and Nordstrom. Now don't get me wrong, I have always been in love and had huge appreciation with these places but I never seriously thought about splurging on items. I thought splurging on items at higher end stores were for college graduates and well established people. I always thought too, I can find an exact replica or something just like it for cheaper. I always prided myself on finding challenging fashion pieces by searching everywhere online and in every store until I find it. I am still about that but I want to invest in some pieces that will last me for a long time.I found many beauties on Topshop.com. I have always been the one to see what's in stock at Top Shop so I can keep my wardrobe up to par with the London style. Ever since they started shipping to the U.S., it has made me really want to use my imaginary paycheck and buy everything. I found a few favorites that I will for sure invest in when its time.Topshop is always over the trends,high quality, highly organized, and there is truly something for everybody.I'll list my favorite shoes for now. Another thing I love about Topshop is that they carry a size 11. YES! Finally, the world is realizing there are girls with huge feet(ahem, me) that actually exist.


I LOVE LOVE LOVE nude colored shoes. They give your legs more mileage and look amazing with anything-skirts,jeans,shorts,etc.

These boots are simple, studded and to the point. I love them.

I have been looking for black and white oxfords for the longest especially in my size. Once again, TOPSHOP have saved the day. I NEED these in my life,for trill.

I'm TRULY in LOVE with these shoes. I checked for my size, and OF COURSE they are sold out and they are only $55. Not too bad. I'll keep a close eye on them to see if they do any restocking.
I'll post my other obsessions later on in the week from Topshop.

Love for Autumn.

Aloha,

I always look forward to the fall. It's not SUPER hot or SUPER cold, it's just right. People are always in a good mood. There are always a lot more band shows and random events going on around the city and school is starting soon... It's a happy time.I have a HUGE feeling that for the fall my style will be more of androgyny mixed with femininity. I have really been into OVERSIZED blazers with unique or OVERSIZED buttons, Men Oxfords in browns and dark greens,super frilly or ruffled dresses, and exaggerated rings.Let's throw in a few some handmade clothes(clothes with embroidery,beading, bright colorful stitching) in there too.

I've been into the Native American inspired clothes this entire summer. I have braided in feathers into my hair, wearing clothing that is all about the colorful stitching and meticulous handwork, neutral colors, and low key natural makeup. I'm sure my love for the Native American inspired clothes will carry on into the fall for me, but just with little bit more androgyny and femininity. I am all for mixing oversized blazers with shorts, boots, strapless shirts and strapless dresses this fall...I have even thinking about trading my red lipstick for a plum lipstick. I will probably bring back the red lipstick for the winter. Sadly summer is almost over and we must change up the wardrobe a bit for the upcoming season. I also plan on buying a bunch of bright, colorful, oversized buttons from Wal-mart and sewing them onto my blazers, purses,shirts and sweaters. Here are my Top 10 Obsessions(so far) for the Fall....

1. Oversized Blazers
2. Exaggerated or Oversized Jewelry
3. Men Shoes on men or women(Dark greens, Black and white Oxfords)
4. Sturdy Handmade Small Shoulder Purses
5. Anything Equestrian
6. Neutrals/Small hint of color
7. Hair Accessories(Feathers,Bows, painted bobby pins, headbands,etc)
8. Festive high waist full skirts
9. Bow Ties ,Side- Parted hair, structured vests for men
10. Leopard/Tiger/Giraffe Print.

Sweet Tea & Kisses!
