“Some people think luxury is the opposite of poverty. It is not. It is the opposite of vulgarity.”

Sorry for being away...

Birthdays and holidays and vacations oh my! The Opposite has been M.I.A. for the past couple weeks and apologies are in order... as is Chanel couture, Paris streetstyle and editorials showcasing the best of Fall looks. More to come.

Water water everywhere, but not a drop to drink

I want to be at the beach so badly! The east coast has finally hit its humid stride and being beach side just sounds so amazing right now. Channeling this feeling comes this Las Nuevas Sirenas editorial from Harper's Bazaar Spain. Model: Tanya Dziahileva. Photog: Nico.

Amazing DIY

How adorable is this necklace? The DIY is from refinery 29 and you can see the full thing here.

The steps are as follows:
1. Lay strand of pearls (or beads) on top of upholstery trim and use needle and thread to secure the pearls with small stitches. If you have a broken necklace lying around, this is a great project to re-use it for.
2. Attach suspender clips onto both ends of your necklace.
3. Loop ribbon through suspender opening.
4. Finish off necklace with a big statement bow knot.

amazing.braid

I finally perfected the front braid with bun, but every time I try to do it with my hair down it always looks a little funny. Of course Jessica Stam has the look down at CFDA. I'll have to keep trying though because if I can pull it off this look is awesome.

Summer time, and the livings easy...

Studded Hearts posted a sneak peak of the third issue of Vinyl Riot Mag. It reminds me of lazy California summers and I am excited for the issue to come out. Check, check, check them out.
