in the house of the rising sun

well only ten days left in 2009. i suppose ill spend them reviewing what trends we idulged in these last few years. oh, it was only yesterday (2000) that i started the first grade. and now look at me; im a moody, tall teenager, who wears black all the time, with a straight across bang, and likes to read and write. my how times have changed.

well anyhooo im a big fan of pants and being such i decided to reminisce on the jean trends of the decade. hold on tight loves...

_2000_hipsters. thank god i was young and unawear of this trend but it seems that the exposed hipbone jeans from the ninteies found away to trail themselves into the 2yk. we still have hippsters. but luckily we've reformed enough so that our crotch hair isnt peeping out from the waist band.

_2002_skinnies. by far one of my favorite jean trends because they show of the slimness of my legs. it came back around the influence of rock and roll. you know stokes-inspired and what not and that is how the silhouette of the decade came to life.

_2006_wide-legged. another favorite of mine. the broke in with a vengance; high waisted and flarring ready to throw skinnies out the door.

_2008_boyfriend. this is the chich baggy of jeans, no more homo-thug style. these jeans where stolen from a bf's closet, rolled up and tied with a belt or scarf to fit the waist. plus the idea that you found them off the floor made them tres tres chic.

_2009_distressed. my grandmother always said that if i ever wanted jeans like this she'll buy me a pair from wallmart and i can destroy them myself. i agree with her. but the simple fact is that the broken down, ripped, discardedness of distressed jeans is so appealing. the too came from the rock and roll and thanks to balmain(they featured a $3,000 pair) stores rolled them out like they where the only thing being made. all you need too know is that their tight, bleached, and ripped into shape.

daily fashion tip_jeans. choose a style from above and bring them with you into the next decade. before you know it, maybe a few more decades or so, they'll be vintage and you my friend will be ahead of the curve.

shocking!!!!

ohhhhmmmmgggggeeeeee! its snowing and baby it is cold outside.

so this weather has caused me to lose track of time and my though process so everything i planned to write about pink for this blog has been forgotten. i will however tell you what i can remember.

my favorite color is shocking pink used widely by elsa schiaparelli. i saw her exhibit when i was pretty young with my grandmother when it came to the philadelphia museum of art (god i love that place). after that i knew i wanted to be a fashion designer when i grew up. i've wanted to be an artisit since kindegarten but thats when the fashion bug bit me and im still infected to this day.

now just this year i watched funny fave what with my addiction to musicals and audrey hepburn. this opening number made me excited about the film before it even got to the nitty grity.



now we've got victoria secret pink. i love their sweat pants btw. plus its just comfy. im not into parading labels and i nvr wear sweats outside unless its gym class, which thank god i dnt have this semester, but i do like to sleep in them. pink is where the heart is, after all.

like, you cant even lie and say that that show doesnt look like oddles and oddles of fun to be in or watch.

now theres this pink phone id really love to have from fredflare.com

kind of like molly ringwald circa sixteen candles ya know?

nd some pink stuff from forever21.com
im not really into ruffles but i think this would look slick with some boyfriend jeans or some leather shorts and a blazer.

but i think the pink thing id most be into is this_chanel. they know what a girl wants (rst 09 nd spring 2010)

daily fashion tip_rodarte for target. one more day till the product drops. you just better be in their like swim wear cause i already know what im getting. opportunity is knocking, go open the door to fantasmical and fairly priced clothing. go what r u waiting for go!!!!

Public Enemies

so the first thing i see when i go to the basil soda sight is dull colors, somefunky graphics, and some funky high fashion sounding music is assulting my ears. so im like ohh boy what am i about to enter...

so i head to the bio and it turns out this guy, basil soda, opened a house in 2001 after being in the industry for a few years. so now he's at the "forefront of middle eastern chic" and hes gettin gbig in europe and the usa. which is evident becasue not only katy perry (see yesterdays post) but kim kardashina (oh and christina applegate!!) have been spotted in his haute creations. hes all about curves and "femine allure". i can dig that, though i lack curves. i think he's saying that he wants women to be elegant from what i can conclude. check out his most recent collection and see for yourself. dont forget to check out his sightin the shoppers paradise link on the side of my blog.

ok so it turns out i cannot find adequate pictures to copy and paste so this link will have to do
http://en.flip-zone.com/fashion/couture-1/independant-designers-41/basil-soda-862

i love the intricate design its absolutely fantastic. im all about simplicity when it comes to my own life but when it comes to fashion its the details that make each and every garment special and thats where the beauty comes from. at least, i think so.

daily fashion tip_chiffon. a chiffon dress with some lovely classical necklace arrangment will not only make you look floaty but extremply elegant, if its cut correctly. so float on love, float on.

xoxo_stella

put one foot in front of theee otherrr....

so ive been peeping a ton of people with funky walks. the sad thing is, they dont do it intentionly.
wake up people! edjumacte yourself on posture and what not. its just really sad. now i cant lie though, i have a pretty interesting walk too. .im rather tall so i try to walk in a straight line and then i pick up momentum and it's like im speed walking (i actually just have a really long stride.) but if i mess up the momentum i start to sway or i loose the rhythm in my walk. hey! nobodys perfect. but i do think a walk is something we could all improve upon.  take a look below

ok so i know wikihow is stupid but there is some method to the madness
http://www.wikihow.com/Walk-Like-a-Catwalk-Model

i like this one alot. dont be bashfull if you recognize yourself in the vid below



now runway shows are probably the bestway to practice your walk. listen to the beat and try to match the rhythm of the model. but when you leave the house, don't act uppity. remeber, not every model has a good walk



i can only tell you so much with my speed walking swaying style so listen to mac daddy





last tip_be nonchalant. dont act snobby, smile, unless your actually on the runway. just be like "oh yea i do this all the time, whatchu talking bout willis?"

now practice dears try this slow one first and try to stay on rhythm, then do the nxt one...




i put that last one in so you could walk like a boss cause you run this!(confidence is wat im saying if you don't cath my drift.)

now go get em tiger.


daily fashion tip_an awesome playlist. below are ten of my new favorite songs. eac hone has a different rhythm and beat so play around and if you cant take all the walking just bust out and dance like no ones watching. its the funnest thing ever.

1. my metro card                          le tigre
2. say ahh                                     trey songz
3. uprising                                     muse
4. white deamon love song            the killers
5. all the pretty girls                       fun.
6. satelitte heart                            anya maria
7. saturday night                           the noisettes
8. bulletproof                                la roux
9. listomania                                 phoenix
10. tik tok                                      ke$ha

and your super duper bonus track is.......
money to blow                                 drake ft lil wayne and birdman (drakes part is the best wayne nd birdman need to go somewhere)

now i bet your wondering why i gave you songs well, its so you can practice how to walk like the fierce jungle cat you are. fellas you too. theres nothing more attractive than a guy with swag, that means no pimp walk. take a hint from chuck bass.

Grandma, what big ears you have...

daily fashion tip_a red cape. just think about how gangster you'd look in one. hell do the whole thing with a woven picknick basket. just do it. its totally crazy but i had a red cape like jacket when i was in preschool nd ive never gotten over the fact that i grew out of it. just think of your city as a woods. oh boy, i can see it now one with a hood is perfect (check out the grace coddington vogue spread with model natalia vodianova below) whose afraid of the big bad wolf?

Supersize Me

hello...
k so heres the deal, im still working on that other part of paris fashion week, im trying to narrow it down.
i'll post it as soon as i can seperate the awesomeist from the awesome and good shows.

daily fashion tip_oversize mens shirt. i think they look really great. just roll up the sleeves and slap some tights on. if your doing a night out but on some thigh high boots. and just think how easy it will translate from now to summer.

xoxo_stella

Characters Welcome

the best halloween costume is not store bought. i can assure that fifty million women have also decided to be maids, bunnies, polices, pirates, and strippers and any other store bought costume that requires as little fabric as possible. please, if i may, steer you towards decency, take a look at my favorite costumes below and see what you can do with what you already have in a quick i just realized today was halloween type way. they may look bland at first but they too have multiple personalities.

cat_ tail, ears, eyeliner, and black leather (the new black leather shorts will just be darling i found some at h&m that made me squeal.)

anytimecostumes.com, cat deluxe set ; eyeliner tutorial from youtube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oI0Bwai83k&feature=fvw ; and mike and chris, jake leather shorts, shopbob.com.

detective_trecnh coat, magnifying glass, righteous tipping hat or sexy messy bun.

i bought my trench at the gap but a second hand store will carry a ton of them; dollar store; target, felt fedora with peacock feather; slightly tease the hair, just enough to create texture. once the hair is prepped, gently brush it back, leaving you without a part. place the bun at the nape of the neck - a low bun is always flattering. To hold the bun in place, use a hair-tie or bobbi pins to secure.

vampire_teeth, dark lips, tousled hair, and the smokey eye of death.

walgreens, custom vampire fangs in coffin; try chanel noir collection or sephora (tip: if u ask them to try a look and they'll do it on you for free!!!); and one inch curlin iron, take even sections of hair and wrap around iron as if making a spiral curl, then unravel, run fingers through hair and shake your head like a rock star.

daily fashion tip_black nail polish. why of course, for your pretty nails, my dear. mwah hahahahahaha!!!

Costume National

so im feeling better. i went outside today (three cheers for moi.)

so like i said yesterday i was watching the titanic and afterwards it hit me on just how important costume designers are. it is the language as well as the clothing in a movie that let us know when and where we are. if the hero in a pirate movie is wearing dolce and gabbana your like, wait a minute, this just doesnt seem right. however, if he's been covered in dirt, his coat tails ripped, shirt untucked, hair a mess, and he's got a cut on his arm, then everything clicks.

deborah l. scott_ this lovely lady has won an oscar and worked on just about thirty three movies (correct me if im wrong.) my favorites include et, titanic, wild wild west, and transformers 1&2. her designs are quite versatile and i mean you gotta love her for vamping up megan fox's look right?

eric daman and meredith markworth-pollack_this is the pair that merrily dresses my favorite upper eastsiders, the cast of gossip girl. the show, believe it or not, is actually alot better when you watch it without sound. wether you dig serenas roll out of bed beauty, blairs preppy perfection, jennys good girl gone bad, or vanessas' boho baby doll theres a style for everyone. let us not forget chuck bass, he could charm the pants of any one with one of his signature combos.

fabio toblini_ he's a costume designer for dance, opera, musical and theater productions. this man has a magic needle, i swear to bob he does.

adrian adolf greenberg_this man is by far the most famous american costume designer. he designed costumes for everthing from the wizard of oz to anna karenina and pride and prejudice. he did right by metro-goldwyn-mayer because an entire genration grew up watching his films and trying to dress like the lovely ladies he worked with. they include greta garbo, norma shearer, jeanette macdonald, jean harlow, katharine hepburn and joan crawford.

daily fashion tip_pen. you never know when your going to need to write something down. i find that keeping a pen in my bag makes it easy to remember spur of the moment things. of course, if you don't want scribble all over your hands i suggest you buy a note book. it's also helpful if u have a phone thats at the end of its life and you dont wanna give it to the daddy asking for your number....not that i would know.

xoxo_stella french

Stomp The Yard

heyyy! so i have yet to fully recover but i am feeling much better then i did yesterday. thank god for chicken noodle soup. i think im entitled to stock in campbells after all the cans of their soup i downed yesterday.

anyhooo. today will be my thirty first blog so technically, this is my one month anneversarie of blogging because some months have thirtyone days right?

now i was going to rave on and on to you about louis vuitton and valentino, but i think i just might have something better; sneaker culture. now, i cant unmask to you the entire world of rubber sole collecting, pimped out graphics, and limited edition kicks in one blog, but i can share with you what i know about the world of high and mighty treaded soles.

converse_an american staple. thats all i really have to say. they are the badass dress up dress down shoe. the one shoe that even when the soles are flapping off and ur laces have chewed themselves, do not give up. i think they kind of body that "american" spirit. the idea that ur down for whatever but you do your own thing even when the odds are against you. in the shoes case this would of course be concrete, exterme weather, and dogs. go to converse.com and personalize ur own chucks for (red) the proceeds go tot aids funding. now, personally i have never owned a pair of chucks (see the thing is i wear a size twelve in womens, and chucks give me clown feet) but i am absolutely inlove with their ads. here is my favorite.

nike_just do it. what more motivation do you need then that. not only do they put out a kick ass shoe but the boast a ton of other things; athlete training. check out their ad with serena williams her rhymes are tight but her back hand is fierce. the company started in 1964 but was named nike in 1978 after the greek goddess of victory. so grab a pair and hop to it.

puma & adidas_call it a war call it a rivalry , but if you mess with a mans sneak you mess with him. this could never be more true as adidas and puma where founded by rivaling brothers. they started making shoes together in thier moms washroom in the 1920's then they fell out over their political diferences and set up shop on different sides of a river in southern germany. in 1948 when the brothers set up their seperate buisneses the town was split, if you worked for puma you where a puma man and if you worked for adidas, you better not be on the puma side of town. to this day tensions run high in the town, your best bet would be to visit wearing unbranded flipflops. its just a shame that adi and rudolf dassler never made up. i can say though, that i have a pair of navy pumas that are the shiznip. on the other hand, when i was in the six grade i got these stan smith adidas white with clear bottoms, you know i was fly. check out these...

adidas

puma

daily fashion tip_personalize. help out a starving artist by giving them ur old kicks and asking them to doll you up a pair thats all you. i got my bff chels mula to do up my old adidas (the ones form sixth garde) and o golly wolly i do believe dmc wrote a song for me. sneaker sites have a way where you can coustomize ur own but giving a fresh new coat of paint to and old pair will do just fine, after all it is a recession.

xoxo_stella

i do believe

i do believe i've caught a sickness. so much for my happy one month blogging annversarie. nevertheless. im sick and its making me very unable to stare at my bright computer screen.

daily fashion tip_satin. it makes any dress or gown, as long as its already tasteful, spectacularly more formal.

eww i just sneezed.

xoxo_stella

Grand Gestures

this is my twentyninth blog. its almost been a month. im gonna be writing something kickass for tmrw tho.

so ystrday i i said i would tell you about the chole and chanel shows and im keeping my promise.

chloe_i was not pleased. not in the leastest. i mean... the clothes are great and all but, i was just expecting more. there was that same never changing color pallet, some boy like clothing, sheer dresses, camper looking looks. i saw some shoes, leather, strappy like and all. yet, i was kinda like...thats it? form your own opinion wtch the show your self, tell me what you think. i just was looking for more after last years spring show i was like wooooh mama!!! but now im think i might need a hug, and a cup to hold my dissopointment in.

chanel_this was a definite pick up. my frown was turned upside down. i mean goo gobs of happiness are arrising from my spirit this very moment. it was a barn raising event. as always, the set was incredible!!!! lilly allen provided the livest sound track and the just shiftted like well oiled tracktor gears. there where fabulous tights, clogs(which seem to be the new it thing these last few years), poppy prints, basket weaves, aprons, and peasenty pieces. there where some ruogh textures mixed in with the ivory, beigey, transperent, and black pieces. everything was skillfully themed but the presentation in no way resembled a hoe dowm. though at the end there was some rolling in the hay, but whatever works, and this friends, worked well (insert your applause to karl lagerfeld here.)

daily fashion tip_tweed. tweed is excellent, specifically in suits, like say a chanel suit.. if it not in your budget not to worry. a matching pair of tweed shoes and a bag will keep you just as classy. besides, tweed is the perfect texture for fall; strong and bold.

xoxo_stella

Rise of the Cobra

good evening ladies and gentlemen.

i just want to have a huge round of applause for alexander mcqueen (insert your applause here.)
i saw his show yesterday and after being mind bloggled to a point where i could not condense the information, i decided to write on it today. packed was the word, the air was sparky and it was a production if i ever saw one. ap-perently the site that was supposed to stream the show live, crashed. it's up and running now, but my goodness it was just electric.

snake scale replications, heels liek pointed toe ballerina feet, and hair liek fangs! the mans a dreamweaver because the show was cosmic. before the final run through people where clapping. that is a good show. all the dresses where short with reptile prints the colors change from green, brown, and blue shades that complimented the construction of each garment. fantabulous!!!!! i've put in some of my favorite looks for your viewing pleasure.

p.s. tmrw i will be giving you my thoughts on chanel, chloe, and valentino. get ready for a whole new world.

daily fashion tip_list. now everyone lieks to splurge but as your friend i want you to write a list of things you want for this spring. everything from furniture to clothing to a promotion or kick ass report card or vacation. write it down. then mark the things you already have in green (try higlighter), the things you want in red, and then circle the things you can make happen. as you get each thing done check it off. it's an it list for an it girl.

xoxo_stella

Such a Star they call me Star Spangled

so spring collections are starting to wrap up. *tear.
i cant share with you every collection i've seen but i hope the ones i've written about got you excited and inspired. however, yestrday i promised i would tell you all about stella mccartney (if it werent for my extreme fatigue i could have told you earlier)

stella is just an awesome name, at least i think so. for awesome names there are awesome collections and boy was i pleased when i saw those flouncing ruffles, military like patterns, bright burst of color, and more sheer pandamonium flounce down stella mccartneys runway in paris. (in case you didnt already know im color biased. i do love blue, it looks fantasmical against my skin and waters just so delicious) so it was no surprise that i was thrilled when out comes a pair of menswear style bright blue pants. I almost yelped in joy. i also believe i saw an asymetrical long sleeved shirt with bloomer liek bottoms. talk about ur sexy back. check out the looks for your self on her website, found in my shoppers paradise links. i do adore the ruffles as well.

daily fashion tip_moderation. i think that the perfect closet is a qunique mix of masculine and femme. leaning towards on side is great but dont discrimante the more you mix the more your outfit reflects you (this also stems from my belief that wearing and outfit entirely designed by one person is tacky (this excludes dresses, suits, and shoes) if ur cap is polo, and ur shirt is polo, and ur socks are polo, and ur watch is polo, ur boxers, ur sneakers, jacket, colonge, and undershirt are polo, you damn well better be in a polo tornament or else ur just a walking hunk of polo.) i just wanted to throw those observations out there. logo city is just not pretty.

xoxo_stella

TIme Drains

hey it me!! i do believe this is my twenty sixth blog. *tear. im growing up.

any hooo. im freaking out a little inside because my november teen vogue has yet to come. i heard it has jordan dunn and chanel iman on the cover but i wouldnt know because i have yet to recieve mine. i never throw a copy of teen vogue out. i've been getting them since i was eleven.

on the other hand i watched the stella mccartney show today. i do adore that stella, always putting things out that i'd wear. more details on that tmrw. so much to do so little time.

i'm still trying to figure out how to put up pics of all the fantasmical things i see to share with you. lets just say it's a work in progress.

p.s. check out tonights gossip girl. hilary duff and tyra banks are sure to make a splash.

daily fashion tip_statement necklace. its perfect for a simple frock, party dress, or to jazz up you'r plain white tee. for slim in the front women i suggest long beads. no not mardi gras, i mean delicate chains and strands of pearls. if you like chunky find a long necklace with a chunky piece at its lowest part. uber curvy women try chocker like strands. no they should not actually choke you but if they have a pendant it should rest between your collar bones. mid length works for just about any size though it should be worn by those of you not sporting a to b's or d's. try not to layer to much. always take one think off before you leave the house, coco chanel taught me that.

xoxo_stella

Street Walker

yesterday i was watching the pirates of the caribbean three. oh dear god my love of pirates increses everytime i watch it. now, im no fan of johhny depp (i think hes a marvelous actor, hot? not so much) but his pirate talk is the saviest? i've watched the movie so many times but yesterday i discovered a new favorite scene. its at the very end when the east india trading companys ship is being destroyed after the whoorlpool scene. the main man, cant remember his name, has realized that the term "just buisness" swings bothh ways. so he walks down the steps towards the deck and in a beautiful moment of cinematography, the cannons blow the entire ship up behind him every time he takes a step another part of the ship explodes. then the entire ship is blown to bits, main man going with it. talk about down for the cause. how does this relate to fashion? military jackets, tailored, brass button, and those lovely wrist length sleeves. i wore the one i bought from h&m last year as a tribute. find your own and just go where ever the wind takes you. yo ho, yo ho, pirates life for me.

the balenciaga 2010 spring line is enough to get you talking. my favorite part of each of their collections? the shoes!!!! from tottering heels to this seasons open toed boots i remained stupified of the craftsman ship. this season they went for street appeal. lots of leather, lots of sheer. some of the pieces even have a play-doh look that surprsingly works. unlike the bloomer/nicker bottoms we've been seeing and the exposed lingere, nicholas ghesquière as pioneered yet again with a fierce as all get out sports wear straight leg pant!!!! all the pieces have an athletic feel but maintain the great construction we expect from balenciaga. check out look number 24 at style.com. its my favourite.

daily fashion tip_drapes. take a hint from ceaser and do the grecian thing. no im not talking about a toga party. there are hundreds of flattering drape styles out there this fall from skirts, dresses, to gowns. they enhance hour glass figures, hide love handles, and add curves where you never though you had them. helen of troy would be proud.

New Found Glory

so i've decided that your oldde enough to wlak on your own too feet. so today, your going to find your own new designer. it's time to go discovery channel on these fools so get exploring dora!!

daily fashion tip_treaded soul. yes the emo hipster writer thing is very attractive at the moment but im talking about this mirage of heel/boots that have been cloaking feet everywhere. in the spirit of adventurism, try a pair on. manolo blahnik has a pair with "lux-industrious lizard skin" vogue. even if your not excavating in egypt, these boots are flirtatious enough to be pretty but tough enough for the concrete jungle. take the hint from rosemary clooney and get to walking.

p.s. im gonna start adding picture! well i'll try. wish me luck

p.p.s. check out some of the blogs i follow. its a big world out there.

Life is a Show

bonsoir! i do believe the parisan spirit has taken hold of me today.

my show synopsis for you today is marc jacobs. i truly adore marc jacobs collections because he is fashion forward. some designers talk about their working brining the past into the future, yet, marc jacobs is one of the few who actually winks at the past and nods at the future at the same time. his fall collection was and eighties showdown. bright neons and leggings galore. if you think pat benatar is so yesterday think again. many designers for the fall have revisited the eighties because many of the new up and coming designers grew up in those times. no, it was no the grunge eighties marc gave us. he gave us the eighties of fab and glam and guarntee that no matter where you go, love is a battle feild and with an outfit like his, you must be on the winning side.

his spring collection screams a few words; ruffles, sheer, sparkle, pearl, and flats. I do not believe their was a heel in the entire show. you may think this odd, but these flats are not to be juged on their size but on the content of the simple flair. many people where siting the seventies in the softness of his collection but i think romance had the biggest effect on his ideals for spring. (romance is big for spring). he also showcased quite a few bloomers. no these are not to be worn under clothes their far to fabulous. the chloe 2009 spring show also show cased some bloomers and it seems liek under wear is making a come back. check out  the satin ones he pairs with sheer legings in a lilac, silver, and muave, ensemble known formaly as look number 35.

there is also some plaid. hint hint the youth of the east coast have become very fond of plaid  (i.e. my peers) and it proves that we knew something you didn't know. in the end, however, it seems that my favorite part of all of marc jacobs shows are his coats. a good trench is a good trench no matter how you style it and if you dont believe me take it up with sherlock.

daily fashion tip_vaseline. i can not tell you how many crusty crackly lips i have seen as the weather is getting colder. slap something on them please! burt bee's has fantastic lip balm and if u want to keep it simple stop by cvs and pick up a chapstick. even if you have tiny lips, or luscious full ones, remeber that crust belongs on pizza not your face.

The Rose Door

good evening.

so flowers, they smell great. and dont give me that, i have allergies, you know you think their pretty.
well i like lanvin. no i cant afford a tibit of it but i think its pretty.

just a recap of their fall 09 collection; the colors stayed pretty dark and neutral. their was a lovely shock of red, a coat if im correct. yet, the black and darkness works for this collection because it compliments the hardware perfectly. im talking about the accessories my friends. hardware for day wear for night wear. its so big all you probably need to do is wear a trash bag and put your hair in a bun. (im kidding, you'd look like a total weirdo if you wore a trash bag and lanvin gems and bags.) you will definetly stop traffic. the clothes are world war reminiscent. the silhouetts date back to those hourglasses figures and the higher hemlines. the clothing is draped, ruched, ruffled, and strong. ohh and did i mention fur!?! i love fur! lets not forget that steaming sound track. fierce.

the resort collection however is light and flirty. long dresses. pajama shapes and flowers. birght colors and flowing shapes complete the look.

if there is one thing i can say for lanvin, its that no matter what collection alber elbaz put out, i always want one thing from each look. clothing lust, i thinks so.

daily fashion tip_are you feeling the chill yet? i certaintly am. if indian summers got you confused on wether to wear your summer stuff or pull out the fall goodies i've got you covered. remeber all those maxi dresses? well wear those with a wrap and some boots. who said you have to choose between seasons? take a hint from the beatles and come together.

Remeber My Name

hey.

i saw fame today with my best friend.
i was more than mildly dissopointed. maybe i feel asleep and missed all the awesome parts. don't get me wrong the actors/actresses and preformers where beyond talented in their preformances but it lacked something. i  remeber the commercials where so exciting. dont let that fool you. its true that the art world is not a joke and that if you dont work you dont get anywhere. the movie portrayed this to the nines. but, i thought people saw movies to get away from this idea. documentaries are for realism (i cant wait for captalism a love story). again, great cast, horrible editor. the editors for this movie need to be black listed. possibly the director for letting them chop the film into such a... well you decide for yourself. just decide when it comes out on dvd.

on the fashion note. its getting chilly. pull out those scarves. and umbrellas. east coast falls are always a tad rainy.

daily fashion tip_lotion. keep mourstroized throught out the day with one of those travel lotions. no one likes to shake dry hands or dry anything for that matter. crusty just doesnt cut it. the little bottles of lotion are only 99cents so no excuses. the more you morstroize the raidiance in your skin will increase. and who could resist a glowing gal? touch and be touched.
