Lady Gaga’s A Barbie Girl!

by

Via our new friend, the NYLA Report:

I stumbled across this roundup of handcrafted Lady Gaga Barbies. Veik, the 29-year-old Beijing-based artist behind the dolls, explained why he chose Gaga as his muse:

“Just look at her in those amazing wigs, makeup, and outfits! I was thinking it would be fun to make those wigs for dolls, and that a Lady Gaga doll must be interesting. Since then, I pay close attention to her; her music, clothes, glasses, makeup, everything! Every detail makes me love her more and more.”

Veik created perfect Barbie-sized versions of Lady Gaga’s infamous Jean Charles de Castelbajac Kermit dress, her red lace outfit from the VMAs, her hair bow made of hair, and various exacting iterations of her ”Bad Romance” looks, including her Alexander McQueen claw shoe.

Forever 21 Pick of the Day: Beaded Shoulder Sweater, $30

by

70476064-02

It’s true that embellishment is in, on everything from shoes and handbags to tops, blazers, sweaters, and bottoms. It’s your call if you’re going to go modest with the trend, or overboard in bedazzlement, but we think this Beaded Shoulder Sweater, $29.80 is really quite perfect for a series of occasions that border on semi-dressy.  With a bit of beaded detail, this piece can easily go office to night out with the girls and make a fashion statement without veering too far into the trendy category. What should you pair with this? Skip the necklace, unless it’s a delicate single chain with a simple pendant. Skinny black pants, an electric pink skirt, or black jeans can add just the right tough of panache- you can also adorn the look with layered bangles, suede booties,  or flat over-the-knee boots.
