Full Moon In Leo

I AM SUPER

Break out the entitlement, because a Full Moon in Leo requires a diva attitude. Reign supreme in your life and rule your school. Yes, despite this moon opposing the pesky Mercury Retrograde, there is power in enforcing your ego now. As for areas, per sign, to push the envelope with added flourishes that celebrate your fabulousness:

Aries: Buy something beautiful for yourself and decorate as necessary. Think of yourself like a Christmas tree and stay bright!
Taurus: Get in family time or at the least, get into homebody mode with style: food deliveries, internet shopping, movie marathons, booty calls on speed dial, bubble baths, etc.
Gemini: Your creative flow will be on. Write, speak and express yourself to an audience, whether or not they are in front of you, others will be listening.
Cancer: Polish up the silver and enjoy the material things you own or covet. Attachments are attachments and it’s totally okay if you’re feeling emotions for physical objects.
Leo: Your confidence will be soaring higher, believe it and love it. Be extra generous with the love.
Virgo: Heavy bouts of sentiment will occur, making reflection necessary. If this means solitude, don’t hesitate to close your doors until further notice.
Libra: Socially, time to rise above the jealousy games, mediate arguments and mend the madness.
Scorpio: Toot your own horn. If you want others to care about your projects, be responsible for your own PR. Remember, you’re the sign of persistence.
Sagittarius: A metaphysical journey will begin now. Be open to the opportunities to peer into new dimensions, but don’t get lost in the fanfare of idealism either.
Capricorn: Showing your trust is an intimate affair. Don’t be scared to pull someone closer, because trying is the only way to learn.
Aquarius: Challenge in relationships will feel extra dramatic, but knock those walls down, as contrast is what will make your rainbow now.
Pisces: Giving yourself to others puts you at your best, but that doesn’t mean to go overboard, as you will also have a case of hypochondria to battle now.

Mars Enters Leo

Unleash Your Inner Superstar!

Today, at 10:05 P.M. EST, Mars, the planet of sex, passion, and aggression will be settling into fiery, ego-driven Leo, which rules creativity, romance, and leadership. So, until October 15, expect a hotness to burn in your brain that won't let you do anything half-ass. Yes, good times. However, realize with every bonus, there is a minus, as in dealing with egotistical assholes at a higher rate too. Of course, who ever is left standing will be the winner, so prepare to make life grander by showing the world your inner superstar!

Yes, time to feel your power and embrace your showmanship, because this is the time of year when the universe wants you and nobody else to get into the driver's seat and steer your fate onto sunnier horizons, where all the world's possibilities will be there for you to pick and choose from. All you have to do is believe in it and then work it.

As for where this power will come in strongest in your life, it is as follows -- and don't forget to read your sun and rising, as both are always relevant for anything dealing with predictions!!!

Aries: As a fellow fire sign, you'll be feeling this transit in your confidence and your ability to move mountains. You thought you were a superior leader before, but with Mars in Leo you will be able to kick-ass in any direction you choose. Plus, good hair days will be plenty throughout this phase, so don't be scared to head to the salon and try something daring and new!

Taurus: Your home is your castle and this is when you can spread your territory out! Yes, moving or expanding is now -- and anything involving the people in that space with you is also beneficial, if you put all of the pieces of the puzzle together. So, don't get sedentary, because laying down foundations will take verve and creativity!

Gemini: Your brain will be on fire and it will be absorbing new thought and creative new ideas at record speed. However, all brains and no action will amount to nothing, so don't be short-sighted to let yourself run off in every which way, because having a definitive plan of action will matter. Remember potential is nothing without the humility to explore it.

 

Cancer: Thinking for the long term is your gold, and this is your time to forge ahead with financial commitments and put your money where your dreams are.Of course, nothing is a guaranteed, but the least you can do is go after your happiness, as that is the only way to gain the ultimate comfort and security you crave.

Leo: You can do no wrong and the universe is backing you up on that now. Just don't get too cocky and think that ruling the world is just about barking orders. No, it's your time to carry out justice in the highest form you know how. Be what you believe and others will follow. Your example is crucial to keeping all in line, so don't fuck it up!

 

Virgo: Your imagination will be working overtime and can drive you to seeing visions that can create beautiful masterpieces that can inspire the world for ages to come. Think of your talents as a way to show your compassion now, because it is within you to express yourself at a larger scale. Of course that will mean sacrifice, but trust it will be worth it. If not just for you, for the world.

Libra: People love you all the time, but in this phase, they'll be going nuts for you, giving you power and prestige. So, don't just bask in the glory of the worship. Use it to make wishes and dreams get into your reach, as it'll be now that you can cash in your karma. See that there is power in numbers and they'll all add up for you to succeed.

Scorpio: Fame and fortune is something you can handle, so don't shy away from the spotlight now, as all the work you've paid off will get acknowledgement. While it can get a bit out of control, don't sweat it when it comes to taking on too much, because if anyone can go beyond human strength now, it'll be you.

Sagittarius: You were born with a smile on your face and this week, you'll have the power to spread it all over the world. Yes, open yourself to international opportunities by way of forcing them open yourself or taking on something foreign that comes your way. Yes, sex, money, love, etc., whatever fuels your fires, let it be your passport to an adventure of a lifetime.

Capricorn: Your intensity can get deadly now, so be careful with whom you share your powers with and on what, because a little will go a long way -- and because of this, don't be too trusting with even those you do know well, as they might not have the insight to do as you want now. Detach yourself to see more and ultimately, you will gain more financially, mentally and spiritually.

Aquarius: Working in pairs will do wonders for your morale in many ways. Not only will you be able to cash in on two expertise, but it'll give you the confidence to know there is more than just you out there with such progressive ideas. So, if you need to seal any deals now, go for it, because there is no losing when you commit to a team.

Pisces: Your health is your wealth and although you want to take in all the excitement in your life now, you are going to have to prioritize. Sure, practicality has never been your strong suit, but so it life and this new direction you are taking and if you see there is logic to the universe, you'll see that luxury and longevity can be one in the same.

Take Creative License

Hola! Hola! Yes, it's that time of year when Mercury goes into Leo and it's all about setting your brain into a more egotistical mode. If this means posting something already late on the wrong date, then do it, as it's all about taking creative licenses to do as you wish.

Anyway, these are our first since we all got back from our respective holidays 48 hours prior. I slept for a day after returning (not even kidding), so I was ready to hop back into saddle, complete with a new dress I bought in Amsterdam, during gay pride -- a nautical theme dress (you can't see the cute anchor on the pocket below, but it's cute). I was inspired by the canal parade (movable porn) and the festive mood of the city. It was amazing (slideshow to come), one giant party! Even the Bank of The Netherlands replaced the country flag with a rainbow one on top of their headquarters.

I was with my amazing friend Mazy MazelTov and she was quite the sensation!!! ...but more on that later.... Until then, this week's series is chock-full-of-cute-moments. My favorite is Virgo -- as I get to live out my fantasy as a twin. (Although I am playing best friends that dress alike in the video.)


As to Bite My Style:
Yes, the cute dress is from somewhere in Amsterdam... Wilma Flintstone necklace is of course the ones from my friend Mina, my earrings are my grandmother's, as is the red scarf I wore as a headband. I wanted to wear it as a neck scarf, to complete the nautical theme, but Jeffrey, my producer, thought it was too sock-hop and overrode it. :( I love him anyway...I barely remember what else was happening, I think I wore a bracelet from my friend Tina's Sangeet, some new stackable rings from Amsterdam (a red bow and a sparkly number) and my Scorpio Glyph ring in gold from MarieKDesigns on Etsy. Marie was so sweet. I originally got sent a silver one, but when she realized the order was wrong, she sent me a gold one and told me to keep the silver. Awww...Can't wait to get the Gemini one, so I can have all my main signs adorning me! Yes, I'm whore for astro jewelry!

Look For The Spotlight And Assume The Position


Part two of our shooting marathon:
Bite My Style
I love my red denim Dickies dress, which I scored on eBay! I auctioned my ass off for it and it became mine!!! Weee.... To dress it up, I paired it with the same rings and necklace from July 29's week, but switched the earrings to gold hoops and my bracelets for a leather strap I got in Istanbul, at a store called Hotic and added flair to my hair with the red polka dot wire headband I got somewhere in Tel Aviv. I have to say the headband is brilliant, why they are not sold on every street corner in NYC, I don't know. The wire inside is lightweight and allows easy tightening or options in whether to have an antennae or not. (I always prefer to have the antennae.)...Anyway, I was hating myself that I didn't load up on more headbands, in every color. So, I had to have my friend send me more... However, it's the polka dot red one I always use...As for my shoes, my Marc Jacob white clogs worked overtime...

Flaunt It!


Howdy!
Due to the fact we had to shoot two weeks of Style By Sign in one day, there were only pics of the main outfit...

As for how to Bite My Style:
Thanks to my new eBay addiction, I scored this lovey dress....although I wasn't sure if the small would fit me, I was able to stuff myself in...Although when I got the dress in the mail, I put it on and it was super hot in my apartment and argh, it took me forever to get out of it, since the zipper only goes part way and the top is narrow. I got so frustrated I called my friend Mina half way through to moan...Anyway, after that, I realized I was retarded and since, have not had problems...And the dress is beyond cuteness! It's from a British company called Hell Bunny. I have to say I was way impressed with the quality and would for sure venture out to buy something from them again...and as for my cute white clogs, they are from Marc Jacobs--and they are comfortable as hell!!!!! I got them a while back, before a trip to Seoul and was able to walk all over their crazy sidewalks, side streets and hills for hours on end! 

As for the other accoutrements, my gold fan earrings are from G-ma; Scorpio nameplate necklace from some boutique in Brooklyn and bangles are the ones from my cute friend Ingrid. As for my rings, which may be hard to see: one is a cute "Zombie's Lunch" ring I found on Etsy, at a shop called CatrinasToybox and another is my Scorpio glyph, also from Etsy, from MarieKDesigns. She is a sweetie and her rings may look delicate, but are totally durable. She does the entire zodiac, but Gemini, which she is still working out, but once she does, I'll be sporting it, as it's my Rising Sign! Also on my right hand is my Kiki nameplate ring, that I got in all the weirdest places -- Disneyworld! (At Epcot in Mexico!)

My fave Style By Sign video of the week: Leo!


Bite My Style
In honor of Leo, we (Jozie and I) went for a new approach to my hair. Plus, on a day we had to do 24 videos, we had to make it more structural, to not f-up the green screen magic you see in the background...Anyway, as for the outfit, I scored this gray number on eBay--which I can see why it was being sold off, because it makes one look like a hippo...So, to offset, I have my lovely In God We Trust "Sweet Tits" necklace, dangle earrings from my grandmother, pyramid ring from Patricia Field, mint oblong ring from somewhere in Istanbul, mint green ring with sparkle from Modcloth, leather strap bracelet from Hotic in Istanbul, and lucky charm bracelet from Archie McVee's jumbo super awesome surprise box -- one of my favorite b-day presents ever, from my friend Arion, AKA LaLa, and this was back when they had a jumbo box, which was enormous and filled with the most ridiculous things ever! Love!

Be careful of what you wish for... It is probably obvious, I'm a gal that likes to having her get ups, but with Style By Sign, I'm now on a shopping treadmill! Yes, I spend many of my spare waking minutes hunting for new looks and have found a new appreciation for eBay.... And that's where I scored this cute scooter dress on this week's segment. It's actually a part of an adorable suit, which will be seen in full in the fall... And argh, learned again not to disregard label tags. It's made of rayon and says dry clean only, but I decided to hand wash anyway and duh, it did shrink. That made me sad to know, as I realized I fucked up something new I bought, but it made me happy to know I didn't gain a few mysterious pounds in just days.

As for the rest of my look: earrings are my grandmother's; horse shoe locket necklace from CosmicGirl on Etsy, inside a pic of my favorite Santa Claus; gray shirt with black bow from Forever 21; brown booties from somewhere on 23rd St. between 5th and 6th; and adorable collar socks made by Salome Mamrikishvili. I met her at Artists and Fleas in Brooklyn, where you can find her every Sunday hocking her cute wares.

As for this week's characters: The eccentric aunt has a amazing DollsvilleNYC pink flamingo fascinator. I bought it a while back and got to wear it to a camp wedding and have been dying to have an occasion to break it out again--and here we are! My pearls are from various sources and the dress is my mom's from the 80s.

My Dorothy Gale intepretation is comprised of white chiffon top from American Apparel, Blue Gingham skirt from American Apparel, collar socks are made by Salome Mamrikishvili and Red Bow Wedges are from Melissa.

Laced Glamour: Reboated

When one ship sails, in comes another -- at least in my life these days... Missed Friday's ride, but today another boat adventure turned up via Judy and her fun writing assignments! This time, we hit the water and cruised about the southern tip of Manhattan during twilight. We couldn't of been bothered with the NYC view, where everyone else was cramming to see and just enamored ourselves with views of Jersey....Ah...Anyway, my inspiration for today's look was Marcia Brady and Mary Ann from Gilligan's Island...but buzzed before boarding, I didn't get a full shot before the sun went down, so I just piecemealed it together, in-between snapping blurry skyline pics...

Laced Glamour: Blue Sunday

I love when you can pull something old out of your closet and make it new again--like I did with this top. I got it ages ago, when I got my column in JANE. I also have it in pink, because I couldn't decided which one I wanted, so I celebrated my new column with getting both. They're basically just a piece of silk with two long pieces sewed on that can be draped and tied in a gazillion different ways. I love it because when it's hot out, it's like wearing nothing. Simple and chic! If I could sew, I'd make a dozen more. If you want one, here is the shape to sort out your pattern.

Laced Glamour: The ZZZZZ Edition

There will be no picture today because this day hardly existed for me. Seems I broke my own sleeping record, as I slept from 4am Saturday morning until 10am Sunday morning -- no joke. I did get up at 7pm on Saturday for 20 or so minutes, to go to the can, but it was all a bit of a blur. WTF? IDK.
