I <3 Obama but OH NO Michelle!

So I’ll be the first to admit that I had an “OMG, WTF?” reaction when I saw our new president-elect first lady in her dress. Then, when I found out that it’s a Narciso Rodriguez (one of my all time fave designers), I was SHOCKED. After looking up the dress on the runway, I saw that Michelle had, for some ungodly reason, added a black 3/4 sleeve cardigan over the dress which in turn, threw off the proportions and completely ruined the look. I guess what’s done is dunzo but I’m sure Narciso isn’t too thrilled!

Jem: Truly Outrageous (Halloween Costume)

So I’m kind of in love with this Jem costume idea I saw on BellaSugar.com. I mean, who didn’t think Jem was “truly outrageous” when they were growing up in the 80s? Anyway, you can easily be Jem for Halloween with the right pink wig and pink face makeup. The video on BellaSugar is kind of unnecessarily long (and super cheesy) but it has a few good tips for how to do the pink stars around your eyes! AND I even found a great Jem outfit…oh and they have one of the Misfit outfits too! UGH, memories…

Zoe, Rachel

So I’ve had a mild obsession with Rachel Zoe since I met her at Super Saturday two summers ago. She is, indeed, just as skinny as she looks on TV, btw, but also super nice! I saw her (and remember this is right around when all the Nicole Richie hooplah started) and all I could mumble out was “hi, I’m a huge fan…” and she smiled and said “OH! Thank you!” and sort of waited for me to elaborate…but I couldn’t. Ha. Annnyway, I LOOOVE her show on Bravo (The Rachel Zoe Project) and I also love her style…regardless of what anyone says about her. Fashion is fashion and SHE has changed things the past 2 years.

LC’s Style

So there’s just something about Lauren Conrad’s style that I love. She never really takes any kind of risk, which can sometimes be a little boring (her Emmy’s dress) but then again, she always looks great. This casual look here is so simple- basic skinny jeans, a long American Apparel-type t-shirt, heels and a few simple necklaces and bracelets…yet it’s super cute for a night out or a fun dinner. Now if I could just afford the Chanel bag…

It’s All About the Texture and Pattern

So I’ve been all about the textured tights for the past couple of years now. It all started when an upperclassman in college gave a great presentation in my Journalism 101 class and I couldn’t seem to pay attention because I just kept staring at her patterned tights. They looked so chic paired with her black knee-length skirt suit and teal button down shirt. It was professional yet trendy and sexy at the same time. I immediately went to the mall with a mission and I found a similar and, in my opinion, even cooler pair at Nordstrom Rack that looked like fish nets but with out the holes. “Classy fishnets,” as I called them. I wore my classy fishnets to every internship interview and even my first few job interviews…and I actually just stopped wearing them about a year ago. It got to the point where every toe had a hole and there were quite a few “hidden” runs, but I just kept it going…and the compliements never stopped. I think it’s time to move onto LACE. This pair from Urban Outfitters might do the job…

I Spy With My Little (White) Eyes…

So I had a total deja vu moment when I saw images from the Spring 2009 Lanvin show today. White eyeliner is makin’ a comeback! I used to rock the white lines back in high school -in fact, I only lined the top eyelid, which is definitely not as cool as this updated version. Annnyway, if you want to try out my old staple, check out the Wet ‘n Wild version…but be warned, I just remembered when one of the hottest guys in my class said “ok, I’ll bite…what’s with the white lines on your eyes?” Be warned -I am NOT reccommending my OLD version…this new version is definitely the way to go.

Does This Look Natural to You?

So I love fashion; my mother will tell you the story about how I’ve been obsessed since I could talk. But you know…I really miss the old models from the 80s and even early 90s that actually, you know, had flesh on them. I know this subject has been beaten to death but the model on the left (from Spring 2009 Louis Vuitton) looks damn near death and it’s really just not attractive. I will never understand why it takes a 5’11 108lb. woman to present these beautiful pieces of art when I know they look just as good (and actually BETTER) on celebrities, who, by all means, are still very thin. I guess I’m just longing for the days of Cindy Crawford…ah well, at least the Victoria’s Secret models still have some meat on them and HELLO, they are so much hotter.
