oooooooh 90210

So I need to discuss. OK, I was literally cursing at the TV when this was all going down. I wasn’t paying attention while the 90210 2.0 girls were devising their “brilliant” plan for Naomi to take the coke…next thing I know she’s VERY obviously going into the bathroom and staring at the cop. HELLO, just WALK AWAY. IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION FROM THE DOG. Are you retarded? Why would you go into the bathroom?! JUST LEAVE. Then, you go into the stall and forget to LOCK the door behind you, clearly giving them a visual of you flushing drugs down the toilet. OK. So the drugs did go down. They saw you though. You’re what? 17? You might get halled away to prove a point, but you ain’t goin to jail. COME ON. A slap on the wrist…maybe some drug classes…done. AND if her Dad is such a great lawyer, why didn’t he just argue that they have no proof she was even flushing drugs?! OJ’s lawyer would’ve had her back.

P.S.- I hope one day I get “arrested” wearing something just as ridiculous.

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…

How I Get My Hot Eyebrows

So I got these Point Tweezerman tweezers in a gift bag back in high school (yeah, I was way cool back in the day, ha) and it’s been true love ever since. My eyebrows aren’t particularly hairy but with the super fine “point” (as opposed to the normal slant) you can grab ANY kind of hair, literally. I get compliments on my eyebrows ALL the time and people are constantly asking me where I get them done.

Anyway, I’ve tried going back to the traditional slant but once you go point, you never go back. That doesn’t rhyme…but you get the POINT. Ha.

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.

ColorOn Leopard Eyes

So ever since I saw a Beyonce video for “Kitty Kat” where she had leopard print eyes, I’ve REALLY wanted to try it…but obviously never did because 1- I don’t really have the patience and 2- WHERE would I really wear leopard print eyes? Well at least now, if I ever do actually decide to try this look, it can be done super easy and fast. ColorOn has a whole kit with other patterns as well…though none as cool as leopard print.

Harajuku Lovers perfume

So I’ve read some pretty negative reviews of Gwen Stefani’s new perfume line, Harajuku Lovers. (Sad face). But I dunno…I actually really LOVE “G,” which, obviously, I bought first since I am mildly obsessed with Gwen. It has a really fun coconut smell and how could you not think the bottle itself is adorable? I bought the smaller version thinking I wouldn’t like the smell and I could just keep the bottle but now I plan on also tring “Baby”….mainly because she has hair that I think looks like caviar.
