Tavi's Hat (read: HairBow) Causes Commotion at...
Oh my goodness!
The blogopshere is all a-twitter with tears of outrage! cries of sympathy! eye-rolls of irritation! over the drama caused by little Tavi Gevinson, fashion blogging wunderkind, wearing a large bow on her head as she sat front-row at the Dior couture show this week in Paris.
Before we take a look at the offender in question, let’s discuss a few issues:
1. Wearing Hats in...

Blame it on the weather
I am blaming the weather for everything. My excessive eating. My lethargy. My inability to get my ass to the gym. And the general lack of inspiration in my outfits as of late.
It’s been gloomy, grey and getting cold again, with promise of more cold weather in the subsequent days. I’m not pleased about this.

Monday Night Troublemakers
SHIRT: XXI SKIRT: Zara SHOES: thrifted, Thrift Town
Last night a group of us went for cheap mex marts at Trudy’s and I decided to get kinda dolled up since I hadn’t posted photos of myself on her in a while and had spent the entire weekend in jeans and t-shirts.
I got the skirt at Zara a few weeks ago when they were having an epic sale. It was on $19.99 down from $39.99. Meowww!...

Feels like Spring
SHIRT: XXI JEANS: Zara BOOTS: UO SUNGLASSES: some bodega in NYC PURSE: Strut
I’ve been very lazy about getting dressed up and/or taking photos lately. I think a large part of it has to to with S.A.D (seasonal affective disorder). I leave work between 5-6pm everyday and it’s already dark and gloomy.
The past few days, however, have seen more sunshine and warmer days (74 degrees!) so...

Re: Get Stupid
I’m going to have to agree with you - it’s a very stupid campaign. You can’t make stupid sound cool, not through Diesel at least, or possibly ever. If they’re trying to say “be ballsy” or “daring” or “take risks” and challenging the hegemonic notion of being smart, doing what’s correct, or being rational - rather than being guided...

Beyonce vs. Gareth Pugh
Is it just me or does Beyonce’s new video for “Sweet Dreams” seem very similar to Gareth Pugh’s video for his Fall/Winter 2009 collection? Of course the two aren’t identical, but I feel that there are enough recurring images in both that I can’t help but wonder if Beyonce and her team weren’t heavily influenced by the Gareth Pugh video. The two don’t...

Get Stupid.
Diesel’s new ad campaign is up and running around NYC and all over the blogs and people are all a tizzy about whether it’s clever or.. well.. just plain stupid?
Bloggers are wondering if this is Diesel’s weak attempt to counter or comment on Levi’s Go Forth ad campaign (which, let’s be honest, is far more clever and wistful and beautiful).
I don’t quite...

Zoe Saldana at the Critics Choice Award
Love, love, love this dress and I think the turquoise earrings look fantastic with it. Exceptional job, whoever Zoe Saldana’s stylist is! She looks phenomenal!
EDIT 9:22PM:
Julianne Moore! She looks beautiful! Stunning!

Jean Paul Gaultier for Target
The world waits with breath that is baited for the JPG collection to drop at Targets nation-wide and for the ensuing, inevitable onslaught of trendy, fiscally-challenged girls in heels as they trip all over one another and battle for that TRENCH COAT ($59.99).

Little City
Yesterday after work I braved an hour of traffic and rain to meet my sister up north at the Domain for drinks, eats and discounts at Banana Republic. She had a giftcard from our mom from Christmas and they were having a 30% off thing for cardholders (25% for non-cardholders) and I had promised her last weekend that I’d go with her.
She had basically already picked out what she wanted when...

Family Shopping Trip!
While my parents were visiting this weekend we decided to do a little shipping since both my sister and I had giftcards from Christmas. We went to the domain, a sprawling outdoor shopping center/apartment complex bizarro-mini-city shopping/living hybrid thing. It looks like a tiny fake European village and music plays outside and it’s extremely weird, but they have the only Zara in town...

Strange little girl
This is not a cute face photo of me, but I think it shows the clothes off well, especially my new shirt with awesome sequined shoulder patches. My mom got me a $100 giftcard to Forecer 21 so my family and I went shopping yesterday and my sister, mom and I all got things while my bore dad stood by idly.

Texas!
I’m back from N.Y.C! I’ve actually been back since Tuesday, but with work and errands and getting back into the swing of things, I haven’t had time to even think about posting. Hell, I haven’t even done laundry or cleaned my apartment.
I’m about to go spend time with my family who are in town for the day, but more posts will be arriving shortly. For now, here’s...
