Wrap It Up

Tina — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 11:21:24 +0000

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

Tina — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 23:28:10 +0000

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!

Tina — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 22:07:18 +0000

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

Tina — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 22:51:19 +0000

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!

Rachel Roy/Estelle Jewelry Buy of The Week!

Tina — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 18:09:29 +0000

As we all know, love it or dread it, Valentine’s Day is coming up. This means that idiot guys everywhere will be asking me or their girl source, what to buy their special gals. And because boys are stupid, they will not know that all they need to do is buy something–ANYTHING from Tiffany’s to make his girl happy. But, if you guys or girls want to get something a little different than the typical Tiffany’s floating heart this year (which I have received, and works like a charm, btw) than you should look at the new Rachel Roy/Estelle line of jewelry. This line features this amazing gold flower ring that fits over the full finger for some major hotness; and also this gold earcuff–which granted is a little weird, but is also edgy and pretty at the same time. Plus, the line is pretty affordable at $50-$100 for each item and is super exclusive since you can only buy these items on their facebook site until February 11, 2010. Everyone loves an elitist, so get it while it’s hot!

Cross-Body Bag Madness!

Tina — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 06:03:51 +0000

Cross-body bags are suddenly all the rage. It’s like, all of a sudden, everyone is “on the go” and can’t even hold on to their purses, so they have to strap a bag all around their bodies. Personally, I’m not a fan, however, like so many things that are roach, cross-body bags are comfortable. Therefore, if I have embraced UGGs, I might as well have a comfortable bag that matches to maximize my comfy-ness. This Tory Burch fringe bag and this Marc Jacobs black cross-body bag says comfort, but they also TRY to be cute, which I appreciate. So at the very least you’re just dying a slow fashion death, instead of a fast one.

Denim Shirtdress Debacle

Tina — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 08:41:21 +0000

I know that it doesn’t look like it, but this is a dress. A huge, grungy, denim, patched-up dress from Topshop. I don’t know what YOU think this says about fashion, but this tells ME that we are now embracing clothes people wear working at the gas station as “fashionable.” No. Unacceptable. This “it’s so ugly that it’s cool” is seriously getting old because sometimes, “it’s so ugly that it’s ugly.” Much like this dress from Topshop. And to top it off, you just need to shell out $125 to get it!! Really? Really Topshop? You’re trying to pass this wretched, fat man’s dirty shirt as rocker chic? And forcing us to pay more than the energy to dig it out of that man’s garbage for it? In-credible; Topshop has some balls because I never thought that denim could insult me like that. But it does, because only a fashion idiot would wear this thinking they can pull it off. Trust me, you can’t. Nobody can. The roachness of this dress is way too overwhelming. So let the denim shirtdress with its patches die a long and horrible death at one of those Earth Day festivals, where this shirt will eventually end up getting stolen by a bum.

The New Louis!

Tina — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 01:10:07 +0000

If you like Boho, then you are going to love this new Louis Vuitton Artsy bag. With this amazing new bag, Louis Vuitton has transformed the typical ratty Urban Outfitters Boho chick, with her headbands and drapey shirts into a Boho hot chick who paid $1,400.00 on an LV. Sure, it goes against being Boho, but a girl can’t live off of hemp and saddle bags forever. It’s new, its huge, and it’s hot!

Badgely Mischka Wedding “Wow” Shoes

Tina — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 12:29:27 +0000

Badgely Mischka clearly knows more than just glittery gowns for celebrities. They know shoes!! Being only a human, you probably can’t afford to have a full-fledged red carpet Badgley Mischka gown, however, there’s good news. Your feet can now experience Badgely Mischka amazingess. And on what better day to feel like a celebrity than on your wedding day with these “wow” shoes. The silk rosette heels are high enough to make you feel sexy, but demure enough not to make you look hoochie. The perfect combo–for shoes and for your man. For those who don’t like the peep toe, there’s the white satin heels with the side bow. A-dorable. Both pairs are $200, which is human-priced considering how amazing they are. So go get your wow on!

Faux Fur Jacket Buy of the Week!

Tina — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 23:43:45 +0000

Fur is definitely making it’s mark this season. Thanks to global warming, the earth’s weather is all kinds of messed up, so winters are becoming even more bitterly cold. Which is why I am so obsessed with this Juicy Couture faux fur jacket. It’s cute, there’s ruffles, and the faux fur doesn’t feel like it came from a mangled dead cat. Imagine this fur jacket, with dark skinny jeans and heels and your favorite Louis Vuitton bag. I know, I feel ritzy just imagining it. We loves it.
