Tales of the Unicorn Queen

I wore this to Tarina Tarantino book signing yesterday. It was an action-packed day full of excitement – I got to meet Tarina, went on an accessory shopping spree with Gala Darling (loot post soon) and got kicked out of a cab, ran into Agyness Deyn in the East Village, and then somehow ended up at a 1920s/30s party with Shien Lee. All in this ridiculous hummingbird outfit.

Why hummingbird? The fluttery jacket makes me look like I have wings and the color palette channels some sort of an exotic bird. Also, Shien and I have a running joke about how we’re hummingbirds: we both love to eat (shun anorexia!) and hover around the table.


This is my new living room by the way. Lavender stripes forever!


See? A humming bird. In my pink kitchen.

  • Dress: unknown
  • Hummingbird jacket: vintage
  • Belt: thrifted (clear plastic with glitter!)
  • Space shoes: Shellys London
  • Flying saucer necklace: gift from Mark

More detailed report coming next week!

  • nicole! :} says:

    you are too pretty. i love your style so much, i wish i had the guts to pull them off.

  • Ally says:

    That dress is to die for. And the mismatched socks is an unexpected, creative decision that works!

  • Simone says:

    I love the dress :) Are you gonna be posting more pics of your living room sometime? It looks great, from what I can see! By the way, what does Mark think of your decorating choices? =P

  • Padmita says:

    That dress is perfection, and very cute with that yellow jacket! And I was wearing a similar bow earlier today, but in a lighter shade of pink lol(: This must be one of your best outfits ever!

  • Gaiya says:

    I like the outfit. Love all the colors as always. I’m so jealous you got to meet Tarina Tarantino. I do love her style. They are on the expensive end though..

  • Megan J. says:

    I was just wondering the same thing that Simone asked -what Mark thinks of your decorating choices, especially since you both live in the same apt., right? :D

    Also, why’d you get kicked out of a cab? I hope you elaborate on that part, sounds scandalous!;D

    I can definitely see you as a hummingbird with all of those flashy and pearlescent colors you like to wear.:D

  • Hana Welsh says:

    What a lovely outfit, Xenia!
    The colours are just wonderful (:

  • Amelia says:

    Rockin’ the odd socks :D
    Oh, and the dress is cute too
    xx

  • Bonniee:) says:

    ahh, sorry for the double post. >..<

  • Rickey says:

    Merlin’s beard! I was just talking with my bestie Dahling Emma about how when we get a flat (after college) together, we will paint a bedroom with purple and gold stripes! Then I had this idea to hunt down a bunch of random pipes, paint them gold, affix them in a maze-like pattern to the ceiling of that same room, and run wiring through them to create a built in light fixture (two or three lines of wires so that a bit by the bed and a bit by the mirror will turn on/off separately from the rest of the room. yay! Please excuse my random blatant outcries of excitement and doe-ish glee. Love the socks– those are two of my favorite colors! Chartreuse is the only color I can actually call a favorite, because pretty much all ultra-bright colors fall in the favorites (plural) category. And jewel tones. And… ah. sorry. all my love (yes, ALL of it) and muchos snogses,
