Wrap It Up

I love drapey sweaters.  I love them so much that I own a multitude of drapey sweaters, and with each one I convince myself that they do not all look exactly the same.  But, I have to tell you the truth, I don't know what to make of these extra-long drapey sweaters that claim they can be worn 3,645 ways.  They confuse me, because, they never look like the examples shown--all cool and awesome.  Somehow, I just end up looking like I'm wearing a really weird sweater that's so long I had to wrap it around my neck, which will eventually look and feels like it's choking me to death.  But, to those people out there who can actually make this look work, this BCBG ensemble with the drapey sweater is really cute.  Two possible looks are shown.  One being the standard "choke" look, and the second is the very cute "bow in the back look", which if you decide to move will become the "it is impossible to keep this bow in the back and my sweater keeps coming off because I'm wearing it backwards" look.  Good luck and enjoy!

Down With JCrew-Leather Dress Edition

It's that time again, when I call out JCrew for selling something unbelievably ugly for an unbelievably uglier price.  Some of you may have grown tired of my attempts at single-handedly bringing down JCrew.  But, I don't care,  and I will continue my ridiculous crusade until JCrew stops charging $1,800.00 for dresses like the above.  First of all this is a leather dress with sparkles all over it.  Why in God's name any person would decide to bedazzle leather is beyond me.  I mean, if it would be cheaper to just bedazzle regular cotton, lets go with that, because you've just sucked all the fun out of leather anyways.  Second, the girl is wearing sandals with her $1,800.00 leather sparkle dress!! Come on! If' I'm wearing $1,800.00 worth of dress on me, I better not be wearing it with sandals to the freakin beach! To the JCrew designer, I challenge you.  I challenge you to design a dress that is cute--cute and worthy of $1,800.00.  This means that there cannot be thousands of pleats, rosettes, or ruffles and must be event appropriate.  In other words, you can't charge $1,800.00 for a beach dress made of animal skin and plastic sparkles, because it's inappropriate and ugly.  I understand everyone agrees with me, but nobody wants to stand with me because they can't give up those damn cardigans and gold flip-flops.  Neither can I; I own both.  But still, Down with JCrew!

House of Harlow 1960 in 2010!

When did it happen?  When was the exact moment that Nicole Richie went from being a trashy, fat chick with crazy eyes to some crazy awesome fashionista who is now the inventor of Boho Chic.  I think it's when she got thin and starting looking all strung out instead of Paris Hilton's fatter, trashier friend.  Regardless, her House of Harlow line of jewelry is seriously cool. This Abalone Stations necklace and the peacock locket are amazing with any outfit dressed up or down.  Just goes to show you what you can accomplish when you become thin.  We loves it.

The Era of Jeggings

It. Has. Happened.  The two best things in the entire world have come together: jeans and leggings!  I don't know even know how we could have lived so long without jeggings.  I mean the coolness of jeans with the comfort of leggings--simply amazing.  Sure, many people wonder what the difference is between jeggings and skinny jeans, and that answer is quite simple: umm, jeggings are way tighter of course.  Haven't you ever wished that your skinny jeans could be just a little tighter so that it could wrap your leg up like a little sausage?  Well, dream no more, because it has happened.  Go grab a pair and tell me that your legs do not look absolutely awesome after squeezing them into jeggings.  Long live jeggings!
