WTF

Was this a dare or are we trying to appear "cool" at Coachella?

How do I reference this with milkshake?

I'm deep, man

It was Miley! I've decided I like the outfit but definitely with different shoes and a different bra (though hers was age appropriate). It reminds me of this look that I loved:

Still wishing to be in the trenches...

OK, not so much a fan of the one in the middle, and the one on the end is OK--what I wanted to show you was the pink one and I couldn't find a pic of it on its own. It's Burberry, of course. It was in the new issue of Vogue. It's specifically a Burberry Prorsum petal-pink duchesse satin trench and I think I would get a little drool on it. There's this awesome site, Art of the Trench, that shows people rocking their Burberry Trench coats. Me, I have to settle for rocking my Old Navy trench that I got on sale seeing as how I'm about $1200 away from being able to afford the actual thing. Add it to the life goals, along with rocking a matching Burberry scarf. Which means I'm actually about $1500 away. Believe me I would way rather be contemplating selling organs on the black market to pay off a credit card bill that's due to Burberry rather then my mechanic because yes, my car window is stuck open. Maybe I can find some Burberry cardboard for the window...

What the Flagnog!

Vivienne Westwood is pairing with....LEE Jeans!
According to WWD, "the new line, aptly dubbed The Vivienne Westwood Anglomania and Lee collection, will bring Westwood's signature punky-meets-couture-inspired approach to style. The pieces in the collection will range from the ubiquitous skinny jean to "bondage jeans" and "microshorts" (a term which, frankly, terrifies us). In addition to dark washes, the denim will feature one design with a quirkly lace print. Alas, don't expect Lee's price points to extend into Westwood's line, which will run about $128-$320."

This seems like the oddest pairing to me. The title just rolls off the tongue, eh?

Yes I stole the pic from CocoPerez

Is Andre moving to Hogwarts?! What the name of all the is fashion is this! Take note of the shoes.

A famine in smiles

MAKE IT WORK!!!!!!

As if I needed any more reasons to be excited about the new Project Runway season finally coming to us August 20 but now I'm reading that before the actual season starts there will be a "Fan Favorite" special competition which features some of my favorite past competitors including Santino, Daniel V., and Jeffrey from Season 3!

The countdown is on!

Shoe-in

Have you seen ads for this Friction Block stick? Supposedly you put it on the spots of your feet that would get ravaged by a new pair of strappy sandals or ankle breaking heels and it doesn't hurt. Goes on clear, forms a protective barrier. I read some reviews on-line and it was a mixed bag. Personally, I think part of being a woman is knowing that sometimes you're going to have to break in shoes and it's going to hurt. Granted I make it a point to rarely rock such shoes so maybe if it were more of a thing in my life I might purchase it. But blisters build character, right? Right? Plus let's face it, $6 is like a flip flop splurge for me and bandaids are cheap. Footware isn't really an investment for me...those shoes are cute though! AND organic! Payless has 'em. I may have to check it out. They seem fairly foot friendly.

This has been product placement, shoes edition, with batgirl. You may go about your business now.

Interactive wardrobe

So the U.S. Postal service or somebody totally screwed me out of my May Vogue which, hello, I had to have since it had a focus on models and, hello, I've always wanted to be one. So of course I contacted customer service and asked for a late copy and of course they complied.

Now in this particular issue they featured an article on something called Closet Couture. When I started the article they started describing something that sounded exactly like the part in Clueless where Cher sits down at her computer to peruse her wardrobe and pick an outfit out. Then the article referenced this exact same part and I thought, OK, article, you now have my full attention.

So here's how the site works: you register and upload your entire wardrobe (I imagine one must clear their schedule to take pics of all their clothes, and all their shoes, and their jewelry...) which then becomes visible to everyone else registered. From there you can then compile possible outfits, pass them on to your friends, and they can rate it. This is actually pretty cool as there have been several times I've sent frantic group emails to the girls trying to describe what it is I'm wearing to get advice. You can also peruse other people's wardrobes, people you don't even know, and send them wardrobe suggestions. AND you can consult the site's stylists with questions and for services. For example the writer of the article paid a fee to have them "pack" her suitcase for an upcoming trip. Plus if you make one too many catty/uncalled for remarks, you get kicked off the site, which would be nice for when random stranger checks out your closet and tells you your taste sucks or something.

I checked it out online a bit. I don't have a what I consider an extensive enough wardrobe to join, plus I tend to wear whatever the hell I want and not care. And really I suppose I could just take pics and send them directly to friends ahead of an event. Or I could drive over to their apartment/house if they live locally. That all having been said--if I did have a fashionista closet I would sign up.

In conclusion, Clueless is still an awesome movie.

IDK

I was trying to figure out exactly how to start this entry and I've decided that you should go to the link with hardly any information like i did. It's a fashion blog's article written about American Apparel's new idea for tights. That is all.

XOXO

I love Target. Frankly, who doesn't? They just announced today that Anna Sui is going to be one of the next designers for their affordable cothing line and her inspiration is none other than Gossip Girl! Three things i love all in one...I take that back, four things i love:
1) Anna Sui
2)Target
3) Gossip Girl
4)Cute cheap ass gear

September 13th is already marked on my calendar.

OMG and WTF and BCF (big cothing fai)

I love the MET costume gala fashions every year and I usually love whatever weird get up Rihanna wears but seriously, I don't get it.

Apparently I only blog about magazines OR "Make it work"

I just finished my preliminary scan of Marie Claire, and in the Beauty Snoop section (where they open celebs cosmetic cases and show us what they love) was a feature on Tim Gunn! The most interesting items were as follows:

Selsun Dandruff shampoo
Clinique Almost Powder Makeup (to "get rid of the glazed doughnut look")
Tide to go Mini
Mennen Speed Stick
Oral-B Satin Floss (only interesting because it's the same kind I use!)
StriVectin Phase 2 topical Antioxidant (because apparentl he's acne prone)

Why do I find this stuff so fascinating?

Annoying but great lipstick

Kenley, from Project Runway 5, was arrested for "assault and criminal possession of a weapon after she allegedly threw a cat at her fiance." Apparently after the cat attack she also threw her laptop at him, slammed a door on his head, and threw apples and water at him. Us Weekly quoted someone as saying, "It was a breakup that went badly."

Um, yea I'll say. Crazy Bitch. I always hated her. Apparently Michael Kors wasn't surprised either.

Who is Thierry Mugler kidding?

Lately the only gossip I have had time for is the Us Mag website and the Dish- I don't get as much as the speculative stuff, but it is nice and condensed for me. 

So, I go to Us' site today lookin for some news and was intrigued by the headline: Beyonce's Rep: Dress Made Her Look Curvy.  Not shocking because she is a curvy lady- it's part of her charm. So, click on the link and see B in this fug dress that was apparently designed by Thierry Mugler for Jerry Hall. It is clearly designed to accentuate the hips and it is ridiculous for people to get all twittery about B gaining weight, apparently ALL in her hips cuz those things aren't proportional. So ok- people are so hyper critical about any weight changes and reps always have to respond.  

But here is the kicker when Thierry Mugler tries to convince us of the most far-fetched thing ever- the waist on the dress WAS 23 inches but Thierry had to DECREASE that to 19 INCHES for Beyonce. No. Sorry dude- you make some great perfume, but you are delusional.  There is absolutely no way that Beyonce has a 19 inch waist, unless she has an amazing series of intricate corsets and other waist cinching miracles.  Am I right? 

Still not easy being green

I finally watched The Dish, and I loved it. This, however, which we saw while watching said show, I could probably do without in the future, thanks.

I am lucky enough to have our 200th (!) post and I am going to fill it with questionable fashion. I don't have strong feelings for or against Jessica Alba but apparently she's all of a sudden become a daring fashionista. Those who set the trends tend to throw everyone off at first and with the first outfit and I'm totally thrown:

I don't care if it says D&G on the label, those are pj's. The next outfit though, I highly approve of:

What do you think? Come on, judge with me!
