It's one of my fears that I won't dress my age. In my 20's it was ok to wear certain things that, in my 40's, it just won't be. I think people hope that they are making themselves look younger when, really, they just look ridiculous and older than they are, ya know? I don't think you have to dress badly when you get older, I just think there are age appropriate styles.
This horrific ensemble brought to us by Debbie Harry is one such disaster. It doesn't make her look younger or as fierce as she used to be. It makes her look ridiculous.
Yes, I know she was a punk icon back in the day (think: Blondie) but now she just looks like a punk.
Katie Holmes has been spotted recently, on more than one occassion, wearing her jeans pegged or taper rolled. What's the deal with that? Is she single handedly trying to bring back a fashion fad that should stay dead?
She pegs them with flats and heels - doesn't seem to matter.
Turns out, they're not her jeans. Nope. They're husband Tom's jeans. *shrug* Don't ask me. Apparently her BFF Victoria Beckham borrows her hubby's Prps jeans all the time so Katie had to follow suit. Katie claims the reason she rolls them is that Tom is shorter than she, so the jeans aren't long enough.
Oh, but wait...aren't these the SAME jeans, unrolled?!?!
Yeah. That's what I thought. Katie Holmes? You ain't bringin' sexy back.
Hello!! Just checking in from vacation while I have a minute. We're having a blast, despite the "working" part of the vacation. LOL We've been able to hit a local festival, the water park, the mall (shopping!), and a concert so far. Vacation is busy, I tell ya! LOL
Yesterday my sister and I hit Marshalls looking for some shoes to wear to the concert. I sadly didn't find the shoes I was after, but my sister sure scored!!
She picked up a brand new Coach bag for $229 that usually retails for $398. It's so cute!!
She also TOTALLY scored these Kenneth Cole sunglasses for SEVEN BUCKS!!!!
Well, we're off again for the day! Hope everyone and everything is grand!
Woot! Getting ready to leave on vacation on Friday. Well, it's kind of a working vacation but, yk, whatever. We still get to LEAVE. LOL
Last night I did a little shopping and picked up a pair of super soft brown bermudas, a pair of dark denim capris and a great faux wrap shirt. I still need some shoes and a couple of tees - hopefully I can get those today or tomorrow!!
Man, I have so much packing to do! We're going to be gone for 10 days and I need to go put together outfits and lists of things to pack. It's a HUGE undertaking for a Type-A personality like me. LOL
Side note: My husband says that the 'A' in 'Type-A' stands for anal retentive. Isn't he funny? Wah wah wah. <insert eyeroll here>
Anyway. I know I'm going to forget 500 things while I'm packing. Last time I forgot to pack any, uh, underwear for my husband. HA! THAT was amusing. Well, for me anyway. What do you always forget to pack?
Ok, I'm a fan of pedicures. Don't mind people touching my feet - no problem with someone rubbing my feet and making 'em pretty. But for the love of all things polished, this is just insane!
Yeah, that's what you think it is. A salon outside of Washington D.C. is offering this one-of-a-kind pedicure treatment. Gone are the days of scraping calluses off with razors. Nowadays you just plop yer precious tootsies into a pool filled with these little flesh eating fish and let them nibble away.
Here's a look I don't understand - Rompers. One piece 'suits' for adults. Don't get me wrong - these ladies look nice in their outfits (well, the purple romper Rhianna is sporting is iffy), it's just that the concept of a one piece outfit for ADULTS baffles me.
I just have to think that going to the bathroom is a huge pain. *shrug*
What? Huh? Peep toe tablecloths? What does that even MEAN? Well, I'll explain. It means...nothing. Nice, huh? It means "heidi was out of witty titles for her blogs and chose this one." You ok with that? Sheesh. A girl can't be witty ALL the time.
In the absence of wit and a healthy dose of sarcasm - I'm just going to ask your opinion on some things today. Things like Peep Toe Ankle Boots. Yes, I purposely capitalized all the word unnecessarily. It's ok. Breathe. So - what do you think of them? Oh - you've never seen a pair before? Well you're in luck, I just happen to have a picture.
Now tell me - what do you think?
Also - what do you think about wearing a tablecloth as a dress? Well, I mean, a plaid dress. Yk, plaid all over. Oooh! Like the Brady Bunch! Maybe THAT would have been a better title "Peeping Brady Bunches". Good grief. I'll just keep my day job.
So - what do you think of these hot little numbers?
Yay or Nay?
Ok. Hit me with your best shot. Fire away. (Song implant.)
Look!! Two entries from me in one day!! Oh, you lucky people.
So, as I was browsing through some pictures online today I saw two things that make me think that I'll never be in high style. Two things, my friends, two things. *sigh*
Another appearance of a star wearing a - what's it called? Caftan? It's a bird! It's a plane! It's "Miss Jackson if your nast-eh"...
And more evidence that we need to gear up for some lion fighting. Does anyone have a sword and shield I can borrow? Rhianna traded in her umbrella for a pair of gladiator sandles. Giddy-up.
I'm just waiting to see someone wear a caftan and gladiator sandles TOGETHER. That will be the pinnacle, for me.
I admit it, I'm addicted to Project Runway. I ADORE the show. So much, in fact, that when we cancelled our cable to be frugal and to cut down on the TV viewing in our house, I sought out the episodes online. Heck, I'd even PAY for them if I had to! LOL
This past season's winner, Christian Siriano, was one of those people that annoyed you to death, but grew on you by the end of the show. He is completely adorable and HILARIOUS! I didn't, so much, dig his collection at Fashion Week though. Blech. I much rather preferred Romy's. But whatever.
So Christian has been out and about, making guest appearances on Ugly Betty and other shows. He's been designing pieces for Whoopi Goldberg, Heidi Klum, Kimberley Locke and his new BFF Victoria Beckham. Seems the boy is doing well for himself!
I wonder if he'll ever design anything for us poor commoners. The everyman. *sniff* Perhaps he can design a line and Marshalls can pick it up!
You know, I always wonder what happens to all the fabulous designs from the runway. Somehow they just never seem to translate into something the rest of us can wear. As the uberfierce Christian would say, it's all just a hot mess.
Now you can go from the stores of Beverly Hills to the Roman Empire with little to no transition! On the look out for: a toga to match. Thanks for the shoe-spiration Ashley Tisdale! Rock on with your bad Disney self.
So in my group of friends, there are a few people who are very fashion conscious for their little darlings. Ok, ok, I admit to falling into this trap more than once. Not that my 5 year old cared what she wore - but she was sure impressed when mommy kept telling her not to move because she didn't want her to get dirty and ruin the uber-expensive outfit. A memory to be treasured, for sure. (<--sarcasm)
Anyway. So there's always some dress or outfit that comes out that EVERYONE has to have. People look all over for this piece of clothing or outfit and it becomes a serious MUST HAVE. Often times the item is nearly unobtainable for us average Joe Schmoes, but sometimes it's something easy to get and even easier to afford.
You'll all be pleased to know that the MUST HAVE dress for little girls this season is THE Apple Dress from Marshalls. See? Affordable price and easy to find. Now you can dress your little girl in the must have fashion and pretend she cares! ha!
I promise that I don't set out to pick on Mischa Barton, she just really makes it so easy.
I know that tribal trends are IN this season, but I really do think these boots may be taking it a bit too far.
Look at all that fringe!
That, my friends, is a mess.
This dress, on the other hand, is seriously gorgeous. Of course it is, it's a Badgley Mischka. Someone hook me up with an affordable knock-off, mmmkay?
At least Mischa didn't pair her Pocahontas boots with a Mischka dress. That would have been so far beyond disaster!
Have some old drapes you're looking to get rid of? Are the old ones still in great shape? Good news! You can make them into a dress and be just like the stars!!!
