Jump on the Bandwagon

I'm so sorry. But it has finally happened. I'm in love with Twilight. I told myself that it would never happened, no I swore that it would never happen. But it did. And part of me is ashamed but the other part is asking why?

Why should I feel guilty for liking a book series? Before recently, I thought of myself as better than all those screaming girls standing for hours outside of book stores just to get some book about vampires. My thoughts were somewhere along the lines of "really? why vampires?"

But now I understand. :) Twilight: The Movie was no where as good as the book. There really was no comparison. (I know that I've just angered thousands of girls across the nation. I'm sorry but that's just my opinion.)

But that doesn't mean I'm any less excited for New Moon. I'm currently working my way through the third book. I'm so excited. :) Eeek!

I'm sorry for all of you who don't like Twilight. I know this constant talk about it is probably boring and tiresome. I felt the same way until I gave the books a chance.

And so with a sigh, I say with great joy: "Yes, I'm one of those crazy girls obsessed with Twilight." And I mean crazy in a totally normal, non-stalkerish way! :)

Happy 9-9-09!

This is so Wrong!

This is the look for Spring 2010. Or at least that would be the way of fashion in the world of Jean Paul Gaultier. This picture is from his men's fashion show in Paris.

I just recieved an email that was entitled "What do you think...". Imagine my surprise when I opened it and saw this poor young model trying his best, but completely failing, to look like he isn't completely concerned by the fact that he is wearing a moob top. It's probably a position he thought he'd never find himself. :)

I'm sure his clenched jaw and strained neck aren't signs that he's enjoying himself. But in the mainstream world, meaning everyone other than models and fashion designers, this moob top isn't going to catch on. :)

But maybe fashion will prove me wrong. But boy I hope not!

What do you think? Do you like the moob top? Please Comment and Follow! :D

Hit or Miss

Yes, the smell of tennis balls are in the air. As many of you probably already know, Anna Wintour has been seen cheering on (maybe not cheering but definately watching) these lovely ladies and gentlemen as they fight for the chance to be known as the best.

And since this is Ms. Wintour's favorite sport (Yes, and I mean Ms. Wintour as in editor in cheif of American vouge) many of the tennis player have tried to up their fashion sense and show Ms. Wintour what they're made of.

This attempt to dress well and still look great (I mean athletic attire isn't supposed to be the most flattering, just look at what gymnast are forced to wear) is sometimes a hit but also can be quite comical. We'll start with the comical.



Rafael Nadal. He's one of the best tennis players of the moment but his man capris aren't really working here... And if one man-pri isn't enough of course Nadal stunned us all with the fact that he had another pair waiting to meet the world. The red white look is a little better maybe because they don't seem so long or baggy.

Next we have Vania King. I can only say that her dress looked like something I would wear when I was five. I can only as her what. What was she thinking?

____

Now we will move onto people who looked completely put together. :)

Serena has gotten much better with her style. I love this color against her skin. The red is gorgeous. :)

___

I mean don't we all remember some of her previous looks? Well, if you don't here's a little something to refresh your memory.


Huge improvement I know. :) I love it. :) But her sister wasn't doing so well. I'm still confused about the stripes that are coming down her dress. Its a nice dress otherwise but the stripes in my opinion are a little dsitracting. Get it together Venus.

____

But another look I really liked was Victoria Azarenka's blue look. She looks like a mature girl ready to play tennis. It's slightly less fashion forward than Serena, its a more classic tennis look, but its beautiful. :)
___

So, that's it for now. This blog is a lot longer than I had originally intended. But oh, well. This is what I've been doing this fine Labor Day Weekend. Super exciting, I know. I wish you all fun on your long weekend. :D

Is It the Blair in Me?

If you've ever seen the show Gossip Girl, you will notice that in almost every episode Blair wears a headband. It is one of the few things that actually stay constant in this series. Blair wears headbands.

I was looking at preview material on the CW's website and I saw a clip where Dan rips Blair's headband off her head and tells her that in college there should be no headbands. Maybe its because of the fact that I'm still in High School but I like headbands.

I normally wear them to keep the hair out of my hair when I'm exercising but I also like to wear them to school. It makes it easier when I don't have to constantly keep my hair out of my face.

___

Idk. :) Maybe its the Blair in me.

Distorted Perception

For the longest time I have heard about this commercial. I've heard my friend speak of it, and she said the change was astounding but up until this week, I'd never seen it before. Let me tell you I was floored. Shocked. And a little...I don't know fascinated.

___

Its the dove commercial. If you haven't seen it click here. This is a link to the Dove, Campaign for Real Beauty website. Really, if you haven't seen it. Go. It will make you think a little more.

____

You see this woman, and at first she's not a beauty but she's not horrifically ugly. She's just a woman you would see on the street. But in less than two minutes you see her transform, or should I say evolve into this woman that is nothing like how she started.

____

This commercial does make you think a little more. Its a little like SuperSize Me but in commercial form. It makes you take a second look and question the world we live in, in a way. I thought it was an interesting commercial and I want to share it with all of you even if you've already seen it.

Wallet Friendly Style

As most of us learned at an early age, money doesn't grow on trees. And with this tough economy designers have started to realize this too. That is why many of them have become to designer and manufacture for the middle class.

Yes, finally designers like Anna Sui, Alexander McQueen, Max Azria, Isaac Mizrahi, & Anna Sheffield. They are all going cheap and that is only for the benefit of the customers of Target and Walmart alike.

Alexander McQueen & Isaac Mizrahi were one of the first big name designers to partner with Target and create a line that was fashion forward, wearable, and more importantly, cheap. Both have had lines available to Target shoppers online and in stores but that time is long gone. Their merchandise is no longer available but they have led the way for other designers ready to branch out.

Max Azria

Now we've all seen the commercials. It's Miley Cyrus' new line for Walmart but what most people are forgetting is that that fame Max Azria from BCBGMAXAZRIA. He's talented and has stores that litter the world. He and Miley have combined forces to put out a line that is mostly aimed at teens. It heavily focuses on t-shirts and doesn't seem to showcase Max in all of his designer wonder but maybe next collection....

____

Anna Sui
She has been called by Time magazine as one of the Top 5 Style Icons of the Decade. Not to mention she's one of the most successful living American designers. Inspired by the hit show Gossip Girl, Anna has partnered with Target to but out a line made for the confident woman. She designed the clothes to be worn by the fashionistas Blair, Serena, Jenny, and Vanessa. They are available for purchase on Sept. 13 and I know you ladies are biting at the bit. :)

Anna Sheffield

Target has a thing for Annas. But this one is going to bring jewelery to a store near you. This New York based designer has worked in collaboration with style icons such as Marc Jacobs and fans of her work include Cameron Diaz and Jessica Alba. Anna is not afraid to mix silver and gold, as you will find both in her collection. Hearts, charms, and lightning bolts are also strong in her work.

Maybe this is a growing trend for the future.

I promised myself that my next blog would be fashion related as the last few have been really off topic. But I will tell you that I am so excited for the U.S. Open! (Yeah, tennis!) But I'm keeping myself contained to that little shout out. :)

Abandon Ship

Do we all remember the days? When there was no Spencer, seemingly no drama, and all the girls were awkward and civil? *sigh* Well, I do. I remember The Hills before it became "The Hills". Earlier this week as I was skimming through my beloved tabloids I spotted a picture of Heidi before her plastic surgery.

She wasn't a drop dead gorgeous beauty (but then 99% of the females on this earth aren't). She was pretty and although she was a little unreliable, she seemed like a girl with a good head on her shoulders.

What happened to that girl? I liked that girl. I miss that girl. If I haven't made my position already totally obvious, I am on Team Lauren. I don't like to have anything to do with men with flesh color beards. (Sorry Spencer but even he has to admit that he is a little bit of a douche bag)

Although the show is no longer at the height of its fame. The Pratt vs. Conrad storyline is getting a little old. But this show is still very popular. But then its star left. Lauren is being replaced by Kristin but this is old news.

My question is why all of these reality stars are ditching their roots and trying to make it on their own. Audrina Patridge has decided to leave the show. This apparently will be her last season. But again the question is why? Why now?

Since I doubt that I'll get my answer soon, I'm going to try to make this blog have a little bit to do with fashion and I'd like to mention Lauren's hair. I love her style but let's be honest she put the braidy-hair thing (not sure what its called) on the map. Juicystar07 has a video explaining how to achieve this look. Just click here.

She's chic and that's why I'm excited to see what she's planning for the future. :) I just bought her book on Amazon and I'll do a review for it in the future. :)
