Puking Perfection

Let’s be honest. A large part of time in my life these days is spent gazing at pretty things and then subsequently crying because these things are so far out of my price range. One of the biggest sources of this empty-wallet syndrome for me is the magic of Edward Meadham and Benjamin Kirchhoff. I force myself to ogle at the collection for hours on end despite knowing that I will never own them. I wish I could stop. But I can’t. It’s truly a tragedy.

The only thing that will relieve me from this cycle of pain is Meadham Kirchhoff's Topshop collection. Chances are that you've probably already heard about this amazing undiluted love child of my favorite insanely brilliant, cotton candy, whimsical, frilly sweet, beautiful-magical, fairy puke, unicorn dream that is Meadham Kirchhoff will soon be available to mere mortals like myself. The collection (which made its grand debut today) is based on a fictional band invented by MK called the Cherrys, that’s a bit Marilyn Manson, a bit Kembra Pfahler, and a bit Spice Girls. The collection was designed so you can embrace every unique, colorful side of you that is ever shown by Meadham Kirchhoff. There’s Cherry Blossom (the girly girl), Cherry Pikka (the rebel), Cherry Cherie (the quaint, sweet girl), and Cherry Satanika. Um.. I think I’m in love.

Pastel Puke - faux fur, floaty nightdresses, dreamy silhouettes, flurfy cotton candy, lips and eyes

70s mishmash -  dark red, bright rainbows, funky prints, stars, embellishments, rocker heels

Lips, eyes, prints, dark furs, pentagrams, gold and black

Lovely love - CHERRIES and hearts

Isn't it lovely <3 <3

Which Cherry are you going to be?

Well when she opened her eyes, but what did she see

This outfit was inspired by my obsession with Meadham Kirchoff. I would really like to dress like this (eccentrically) more often, but seriously this outfit took quite a while to come up with and then get everything ready. But I decided to do it today because I have no social life I had some free time on my hands.

Almost everything in the outfit is thrifted except from the pink jacket (Children's Place), the pink flower headpiece-thing is actually just a headband with clip on flowers, and the tulle veil is cut from a skirt that's too small for me. 

The outfit was inspired by those five looks from the Meadham Kirchoff Fall 2010 RTW and Spring 2011 RTW collections

I think the outfit kind of fits the whole eclectic in a good way vibe that applies to most of MK's designs. In my opinion, going full circle in fashion would mean reconnecting to dressing a certain way to have fun and be creative instead of to impress or be "functional" and Meadham Kirchoff has that figured out.

Now the only thing I need to complete the look is the over the top (and by over the top I mean just utter perfection) hair and makeup.
