Laced Up
Clothes; Long sleeve shirt + Lace up pants both by Luxirare.
I used a washed silk for the long sleeve shirt and zipper teeth.
Is this what your early twenties is supposed to feel like?? The only person you can depend on is yourself.
The cross pendant is also something I put together with random jewelry parts + charms I found. I’ve worn the stacked jewelry before in a post I did way back.
You can see I left all the edges of the shirt raw and organic in terms of hem. I used up leftover fabric to make this and this was how it was cut before I sewed the shirt on and I decided to leave it.
Shoes, Demonia wedges.
I had the pants tuck over the shoes, instead of lacing them all the way down.
I also styled the pants this way, with an Obesity and Speed shirt and Missoni Cardigan.

Goddamn, those lace up pants look good! My mom is a professional seamstress and I’ve never seen her make something that crazy!

Manfox–
Can’t wait to see your stuff either. I’m sure I will be thoroughly impressed. Thoroughly.
May 22nd, 2009 at 10:56 am
I had a dream about you and me fighting over a pair of shoes that I would never wear but was trying to get while we were shopping. They were heels not high enough for you and we some how shared the same shoe size. Clearly I’ve been away for too long or something to have such a crazy dream [and no it's not the pain killers because those ended 2 days after my surgery, haha]
I love the pants, they are so on point, it’s ridic.

fucking incredible. it doesn’t get much better than this.
May 22nd, 2009 at 11:53 am
Speechless.
You make everyone else look like amateurs.
May 22nd, 2009 at 12:21 pm
I LOVE this!!!! I wish i could make something decent.
May 22nd, 2009 at 12:45 pm
Siiiiiiiick!! oh man, i love that top you made!
May 22nd, 2009 at 1:05 pm
Very goth!
May 22nd, 2009 at 1:10 pm
WendyB–
Really? Don’t feel like its that goth.
May 22nd, 2009 at 1:43 pm
Absolutely goddess-like. Intimidating. Strong. The grommets must have taken you ages (I’m just imagining all the banging and lacing).
May 22nd, 2009 at 1:43 pm
If anything, in your 20s you learn that you can be your own best friend. Friends, family, and love are very important and wonderful things but the strongest relationship you should have is the one you have with yourself.
Now when I see this outfit, I think: sex, moodiness, rock and roll, clarity, and strength/desire to be strong… a reflection what’s going on inside of you. now, i could be way off base but at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter. this is your vision, and yours alone.
May 22nd, 2009 at 4:08 pm
Is there any way we can buy the stuff you make?
May 22nd, 2009 at 4:16 pm
Also,
You are possibly my favorite bloggers. It seems like a lot of the scene has been pretty girls with marginally good style showing off their legs in scenic outdoor pictures.
YOU are truly something else, your blog and creations are magical/awe-inspiring.
Favorite.

Shay–
Yea it did! I’m glad I’m done now but its sort of like boring tv work if you know what I mean.
Nia–
hahahah. Definitely moody, and yes there is a desire to be strong although I don’t know if I’m there yet.
Marie–
Not yet- I don’t know if I want to produce copies and sell them yet. There is already enough crap in the rag trade. Thank you for the comment though that was really sweet.

baji…………….
baji……..
oh man lux….i’m watching out for your line in the future. for real. you are way talented lady.
May 22nd, 2009 at 6:36 pm
really? i mean really? youve blown my mind again girl and the detail in your work makes me feels like a lazy cow with elementary bedazzling skills.
Did you wear this out recently? If so we must have been on the SAME WAVELENGTH, cause i was wearing these stringy/lace up pants/leggings/what have you-obv less detail and workmanship but like ann d meets spandex…ok ill stop now. You’ll see them on xbabystrangex.blogspot.com soon.
ps: i check your blog b4 perez, b4 facebook, etc etc. you rule.
May 22nd, 2009 at 7:25 pm
THIS. IS. THE. SHIT.
May 22nd, 2009 at 7:59 pm
that top makes me weak in the knees…
May 22nd, 2009 at 9:38 pm
Ok. I am obsessed with those pants!!! Seriously, you are so talented!!! How did you learn to do that?? I need a pair.

Awesome! The pants are such a great take on the slashed look…
Love the action shots!
May 22nd, 2009 at 10:11 pm
you make my heart ache
May 22nd, 2009 at 10:16 pm
damn
seeing your posts always makes me feel creatively challenged..you’re amazing
May 22nd, 2009 at 10:47 pm
I would give my left arm for those pants.
Simply amazing!
May 22nd, 2009 at 11:05 pm
Your blog is what blogs should be about. Showing off your creative talents and inspirations not just showing pictures of all the new expensive clothes you bought. Its almost annoying how much credit those people get yet they really dont do anything. You are inspiring.
May 22nd, 2009 at 11:43 pm
OHMYGOD you’re killing me!!!!! You are definitely going far far and beyond with your line in the future- GUARANTEED. I wish I was half as talented…but no, so I’ll just have to wait for your line.
May 23rd, 2009 at 1:19 am
OMG… You’re so talented!! I love the lace up legging… and you have the most beautiful hair
May 23rd, 2009 at 3:10 am
Ahhhhhh I always get chills reading your blog. This shit is amazing.
When you start your line, please hire me. I will sell my soul to you. Hehe.
May 23rd, 2009 at 4:18 am
Okay, can you please tell me how many yards of lacing you needed for all those eyelets? I’m guessing around 50?
Seriously, I admire your patience with lacing those bitches up!
May 23rd, 2009 at 8:06 am
Anon 10:47
No need to be flinging off limbs for a pair of pants.
oh lady e–
hahha
Liz!
I bought one roll of string and used about half of it. Don’t know how many yards that is.
May 23rd, 2009 at 8:30 am
I have been wanting to start up a blog for a while now – then I read yours – and a feeling of unworthiness engulfs me and makes me feel very insignificant thus halting this dream of mine. I don’t want to add another blog by an “amateur” or a girl showing off her legs with a natural backdrop :s
Seriously, what you wear is unique to you and I don’t 100% feel that way about what I wear. I guess I should stop being impatient and let me style keep progressing until one day I feel comfortable in my own skin – or at least my outfits!
May 23rd, 2009 at 8:31 am
You are brilliant by the way – I’d left that out in my pity post!
May 23rd, 2009 at 12:34 pm
WHOA the lace-up pants are FIYAH! I need a pair! holla!!!
May 23rd, 2009 at 12:42 pm
SICKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.
your ability in styling is insanity.
May 23rd, 2009 at 2:07 pm
omg the pants are insane! absolutely love it!
May 23rd, 2009 at 2:31 pm
You will most definitely become famous within the nxt few years.
May 23rd, 2009 at 4:13 pm

May 24th, 2009 at 1:32 pm
The styling is pitch perfect. As always. I can’t help but want to see more of the design/construction aspect. Your attention to detail is totally dizzying. Miss the luxirare sketches.
p.s. thanks for the most on the thousand year old eggs. My boyfriend never would try it until your post. It’s pretty much a sunday brunch staple here.
May 24th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
you are amazing
May 24th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
ahhh finalement je vois le resultat de ces magnifiques pantalon, leggings, trousers… it’s so unique I kind of don’t know how to name it!

May 25th, 2009 at 7:42 pm
stacked bracelets, skulls, spikes, pearls, and some random goth/vintage stuff I got years ago.
May 26th, 2009 at 9:53 pm
This is beyond! I m totally speechless and in awe..!
May 26th, 2009 at 11:51 pm
It’s already been said 65 times but once more with feeling: THE PANTS! AMAZING!
xx
May 27th, 2009 at 4:23 pm
all of your designs are always so simple, yet very intricate. i can only imagine how much time it took to make those pants, or the coat from a few posts ahead. you must have endless patience, and it definitely pays off.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:36 pm
where to even begin with this one, from the flowing dress to the intricately laced up pants to the ridiculously good jewelry to the presentation and photography.
truly an inspiration.
May 30th, 2009 at 8:44 pm
I adore these Pants.
There quite amazing.
I’m going to attempt to make them.
Wish me luck lol
