Free People Jacket + TuTu Dress

Dropped by The Edison in downtown LA the other night. The venue is actually underground with unique historical power & water machinery decor. Dress code (nice!), no dance floor (boo!), perfect for chatting in twos or groups. Too bad it was pretty filled up so we couldn't snag a table at the last minute.


Jacket from Free People. The high collar and ruffles make it a little Victorian, but its not too frilly and feminine with the military buttons.

Just love the rounded opening of the jacket too.


military ruffle jacket: Free People
lace dress: twelve by twelve from Forever 21
flower leggings: random

Anddd have you heard of Vika Gazinskaya? This Russian designer, with an insane haircut btw, that does really futuristic collections. All of her pieces are quite geometric and play dramatically with shape and volume. Most of the pieces have a cocoon shape to it, very high fashion-esque. Also, Vika's personal style is so versatile--pop, vintage, minimalistic, sophisticated, chic, she does all of the above.

Look at the shoulders...and the nude shoes!!! Perfect color combination.






In one of her own designs.


This dress by Vika Gazinskaya instantly reminded me of Fleet Street!!! LOL my uni peeps know what I'm talking about, right?!!?! It looks like a penguin suit!!!



Omgg I wish I was insanely tall for one day so I could try on this column dress. I love the roll in the back, a lot like a Japanese obi (taiko musubi?) Some of the pieces have a pop-cartoon-ish feel to them.



When I Google'd Vika, her name pops up under the suggested keywords with her BFF Miroslava's name..."Vika Gazinskaya and Miroslava Duma". OMGGGG wouldn't that be sooooo so cool if your name showed up with your bff as a search term???
