"Everything You Need to Know About What This CURLY head CRAVES"

I’m so sorry that I totally ditched you all last week. I was so busy doing a photo shoot for the lingerie company Cupcake. You can see some of the photos later tonight!!! OMG What a fun time! I’m back now though, so get over it! It was so fun dressing up and playing different characters...so being that Halloween is just around the corner I thought I would share with you some costume looks that you can wear on the daily.

Remember Cruella De Vil from 101 Dalmatians? Though she’s evil, Cruella is all about glamour. To emulate her look, go out and find a form fitting deep red or black dress, sheer tights, slingbacks, and, of course, a fur coat. If you want to be real ballsy go out and buy some white hair clips or feathers and attach them to a side of your head. If you have light hair, get black hair/feather clips..duh.  You can also use fashion icon Daphne Guinness as inspiration too.

Glamour-face Liv Taylor embodied her, and rumor has it that Angelina will be next. In fact, I don’t think there is a woman out there who doesn’t fantasize about being the next Queen of the Nile for just one night. I mean all of those jewels! Marc Anthony! Well there is an easy fix for this one. GET OUT YOUR SNAKE RINGS AND GOLD JEWELRY. Be Cleopatra as many days of the week as you want. 

Who doesn't want to be a witch? I remember being a little girl and begging God to give me magical powers. I'm still waiting though. Why not dress like a witch if I can't actually be one? The key for this look is oversized long dresses, lots of lace and velvet, as much black nail polish and eyeliner as you can. Since you can't really carry around a broom, why no start wearing a witch hat...I guarantee you will start a trend!




Thats enough of that for now! Let me just tell you about what I've been doing. Last week I went to see the amazing artist, Nick Cave's Soundsuits. They are wearable sculptural forms based on the scale of the artist’s body. Bellow are some photos. The suits are so fuggin amazing!!! I would love to wear one!!!! 

I think that is all for today. Shervin and I are off to LA tomorrow...so stay tuned for some awesome LA fashion.

  My people! How are you?! I'm feeling really shitty today. I guess it's that time of the month? That is probably TOO MUCH INFORMATION, but Sorry. I don't keep anything to myself anymore. I'm not going to be talking about fashion today.. at least I don't think I am. I am going to ramble. I'm going to just tell you what's going on with me. I have been wearing wigs around my apartment again and I know things are bad when that happens. The photos above are 4 of like 100 photos I took in the black wig. I'm just sick of myself and the wigs help me pretend I'm someone else. Don't you ever wish you were someone else, living somewhere else, doing something else? That's how I feel today. 

 I just finished reading the book Go Ask Alice. The book is about the torture and hell of adolescence. The author, who is anonymous, swings between optimism and despair (boy can I relate). The book really captures the insanity of a drug user and how cunning and baffling drugs and alcohol can be. Maybe I need to start reading more uplifting books? The author of the diary is said to have overdosed and died at the end of the book. NO HAPPY ENDING. But are there ever any happy endings in the world? And if there are.. does it last for more than 5 minutes? Blah Blah Blah

 Quick story... Last night I was driving to go meet my boyfriend, Shervin, for Pink Berry and I got stuck behind a garbage truck for like 25 minutes. I was literally right behind the garbage men as they lifted and threw each black garbage bag into the truck and I couldn't help but ask one of the men if he realized how ridiculous it was that they wouldn't just let ME get by. Ironically the song You Can't Always Get What You Want was playing on the radio and of course it made me even more upset. Didn't they know that I had somewhere to be? Didn't they know I had a plan to meet my boyfriend? NO THEY DIDN'T KNOW. THE WORLD DOESN'T REVOLVE AROUND ME. Unfortunetly.. I didn't get what I wanted...and I didn't get pinkberry. I did however get to see how impatient and crazy I am. Thank God I have such a forgiving boyfriend... that's all I will say. 

 It doesn't stop though...today I woke up even more vicious than last night. Will I ever stop being a monster in the morning? It's one thing when I'm by myself and I could just give myself the silent treatment until I get food and listen to It's a Beautiful Day by U2, but when I'm with my friends, family, or boyfriend its beyond embarressing when they say good morning and I growl like an angry dog. Im thinking I may have to start sleeping with food under my pillow or something. Who knows? That could get really messy. 

 I think this is about as far as I'll go before I start telling you too much.  

Will the real Charlotte Cutler please stand up?

Come back next Tuesday for a real dose of Curl Crave.

In honor of fashion week I thought this post would be devoted to all things fashion! First things first...LISTEN UP BOYS AND GIRLS, I gotta fill you in on what I think you should be wearing. For the ladies, you gotta go out and get "little girl" inspired accessories. Nothing is sexier than a woman who looks like she's barely legal. It is the ultimate fantasy for most men...even if they want to pretend they don't crave it. WARNING: If you're over 40 this doesn't apply to you! There is nothing weirder than a 40 year old woman with pig tails or bow in her hair. So please don't try this look...just tell your daughter about it. Things like backpacks, hair scrunchies, bows, pouffy shirts, overalls, etc, are perfect! The cuter the better! Movies like Lolita, Lisa, The Crush, Clueless, and Girls Just Want to Have Fun are perfect movies to look at for style inspiration. For the men, it's time to bring it back ...way back. Old school is back with a vengeance! Get inspired by the 40s when men were wearing top hats, velvet, suspenders, smoking jackets, kerchiefs, and zoot suits. 


Whatever you do, DON'T follow these people:

  


If you're going to wear suspenders..don't make the mistake this guy made and get wild with other accessories and patterns. This guy is a joke. You don't want to be too.

Mom's gone wild! This mama is so old I told her to act her own age, and she died..Don't even think about trying the "little girl look" if you have grey hair! It is way to frightening. 






















A few days into Fashion week I can already get a good feel for some of the elements that we'll carry through into next year as fashion trends.
1. That 70s Show- From the wide-leg trouser to the sexiest classic halter top, the 70s are back (AGAIN) in a big way.


2. Minimalism- silky, simple separates, neutral tones, white-washed palettes, and future-friendly utilitarian details are IN, so give this look a try.


3. GO LONG- fuller, longer, smarter looking skirts, shirts and dresses are going to be giving minis a major run for their money. Call it a grown-up moment; you can bet your bottom dollar that those thighs of yours will be staying nicely covered!


4. Pajama Party!- loose and lovely loungewear inspired many runway looks. Trousers paired with LACE tops and nightgown-esque dresses. While this might be a tough trend to pull off, I dare you!


5. Pass the Mustard- Now granted, only a small percentage of people will look good in this color, but if you were blessed with the right complexion, you will positively glow this fall if brilliant goldenrod pieces 


6. Go get Granny- Most designers are showing head-to-toe "grandma looks" that country-club-going grannies might love, but when the time comes that you want to try this look out, just sport one plaid piece at a time.




I'm going to stop there for today, but I hope you've enjoyed  today's sneak peak into what to wear this season! Just so I don't get kicked off the internet for plagiarism I want to give a shout out to glamour.com and refinery29.com, WHAT UP SOURCES!? Make sure you've added ShervinsWorld to your bookmarks tab! You need to be keeping up with me! Also if you haven't already follow our blog! All you need is a google email to follow us..you don't even need a blog.. so click bellow!!!!

   Like my video says.. The summer is O-V-E-R! It's time to say goodbye to the days at the pool and the beach! I have to say... overall I had an AMAZING summer! My favorite summer memory? I have way too many to count, but I did love spending nights with my man by the pool and going on day time adventures. Thank GOD I had a fantastic labor day weekend in the Hamptons, but it's time to get real... School is about to start  and the weather is gunna be NOT SO CUTE. I'm going to try to stay positive though. To my Ladies- if you have someone or something in your life that has your thong crawling up the crack of your a$$...SAY GOODBYE! There is no need to enter the school year with anything driving you crazy! To my Fellas- if you haven't already it's time to get a J-mutha fuggin-O-B...you men need to start saving up money for Hanukka and Christmas.

   I'm most excited for Fashion Night Out this week. It's going to be SO MUCH FUN. Head over to fashionsnightout.com and the website will help you to plan out your night. I know Shervin and I are super excited and have a lot planned out. I have the most outrageous outfit picked out and we have our parties lined up for the night. IT'S GOING TO BE AMAZING THIS YEAR! Get pumped up! We will be taking photos and videos of the night. So make sure you stop by the site to see our footage. 

  My obsession this week is Michelle Phillips. She is most famous for being a singer/songwritter and a member of The Mamas & The Papas. She was the ultimate sunshine, beach hippie. She was gorgeous and not a BIG BIMBO like most singers today. To get her look try wearing a rock n roll band t-shirt with shorts and a barret. Check out a photo of her bellow.















































Alright people.. That's all for me this week!! Make sure you are following us and I'll see you same time, same place, next week.

It's Curl Crave Time

Curl Crave 

"Everything You Need to Know About What This CURLY head CRAVES"

   Oh-my-hurricane!!!! I wanna take a minute to thank my hommie 

G-O-D for protecting all my loved ones, and I'm sorry to everyone who got hit with it. I gotta admit... in the heat of all the madness I realized that I'm not ready to die. I have SO much to do! If you haven't heard already, Queen B (aka Beyonce) is pregnant. Not only did that woman kill it on Sunday night at the MTV VMA's but she also managed to look AMAZING with a baby bump! Now, I'm not saying that I need to get knocked up anytime soon(definitely gotta put a ring on it first)..but one thing I gotta do before I die is get knocked up. What about you? What's one thing you GOTTA do before you die?

   Moving right along, I want to share with you all my fashion icon of the week SKY FERREIRA. Not only can this girl sing her heart out, she is also a model and an actress (WORK IT!). Ferreira is of Portuguese, Brazilian and Native American descent, so she is one hell of a good lookin mix. Her style reminds me of Drew Barrymoore in Poison Ivy and Alicia Silverstone in The Crush. To get her look try matching long prairie dresses with sharp vintage jewelry or a 70s-inspired mini dress with large gold hoop earrings, some lace socks, and platform heels. 

            ^Sky Ferreira looking SEXY in ELLE Magazine
   Another new obsession of mine is the movie BOOT CAMP, I watched this movie last night and it was SOOOO intense. The movie is about a group of at-risk teens who are sent to a "rehabilitation program" on Fiji, what they are really sent to is a prison-like camp where kids are abused and brainwashed. This movie is MEGA. If you think you have it bad, I challenge you to watch this movie and see if you still feel that way.

  I know you all wish I would go on forever, but that is all for today. 

XOXO

Curl Crave is back

Curl Crave 

"Everything You Need to Know About What This CURLY head CRAVES"

Curl Crave is back... and So is Charlotte Cutler!! Just in case all of you didn't know I put a lot of time and sweat into Shervin's World and because of it's cute blog title I am often thrown to the waist side and don't get the credit I deserve. That is about to change though because.. I AM Shervin's World and I am as much a part of this blog as he is. Now, just in case you forget that it is as much my blog as it is Shervin's blog, I am going to have a special post dedicated to me and my thoughts every Tuesday morning. Today I want to talk about those feather extensions all the girls are wearing. Although roosters are being raised by the thousands in battery-cage warehouses, slaughtered and destroyed, merely for a few feathers from each bird’s body, I think they look SO good in  people's hair! I do think feathers look better when they're clipped into your hair though, because once they're glued to your head you have to shower with them and there is nothing worse then the look of wet feathers in your hair. I recommend that you wrap them in saran wrap before going in the shower. Another thing to talk about is girls dying their hair "rihanna red". Please stop! Rihanna is a multi millionaire.. she could get a tattoo of Charlie Sheen on her neck and it would be cool. For everyone else it just doesn't work, so stop.

  If you haven't already you must see the movie She-Devil. Roseanne stars as Ruth, a wife and mother who tries to please her husband, but finds it hard because she is fat. When her husband begins an affair with a strikingly beautiful romance novelist, Ruth goes berserk and demands revenge. When he leaves her for good, Ruth devises a list of evil tasks to make her husband pay. The movie is outrageous and this week because I quit smoking, (its been 7 days)I've really been acting as ridiculous as the main character. Just watch the a preview of the movie on youtube and you'll know what I mean.   

  I think now is a good time to talk about the plans for the week. Besides photographing people on the street, Shervin and I have photoshoots set up with a different NY local celebrity every day this week. I am planning on becoming a member of a public library (does anyone recommend a library?) and Shervin just joined THE Sports Club/LA on 61st and 1st and is LOVING it, he is playing a lot of basketball so his body is looking really delicious. YUM . There is so much to say, but I think I'll stop for now.

Get ready people. I'm back...and this is just the beginning. 

xoxo
