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.

spring 2010 paris trois

ok k k. its time to blow this popsicle stand. it's done. now read up:

karl lagerfled

god bless this man. he had shorts in his collection. not bermudas or hot pants or bloomers. shorts!! my cry for moderate decency has been answered. he showed off his playsuits again, one in leather was quite attention getting. some interesting jackets and the amps in the background definetly screamed rock and roll but this show wasnt heavy metal, unless you count the silver filgree overlapping outfits.

louis vuitton

this show had the best song. (hands up, thumbs down, representing that...) they also had fabulous fros (with bows in them) and a color pallet out the wiz-aow. there was a lot of mixing and matching. the vibe of the show had this im a backer packer feel but there was also some sporty, military, and native american things in there. the bags where backpacks and satchels with fur tails hanging off them. my favorite piece was the wrap style pant, definetly gonna have to get some of those.

maison martin margiela

they like to break rules, what more can i say? they say it was a study in volume and texture but what collection doesnt involve volume and texture. oh and for the love of bob what the hell was going on with those boots? they better just be some paper bags because i felt that was a waist of leather. i could totally work with them though, if they werent so floppy. the show itself, was a flop. actually scratch that, make your own decsion. my favorite piece was the, well see the thing is, i didnt really like any of it...

miu miu

i loved the animal prints!!!!! i dug some of the pants suits. there where some little girl dresses in there with cutouts...idk but prada did not dissopoint me thats for sure.

sonia rykiel

there was a clear plastic trench trimmed in black. that sums up my love of this collection. but the models shimming up and down asile, suits covered in studs, lace, anf flirty dresses where ok too. the quilting thing was a nice touch to everything too. but come on, nothing can top a plastic black lined trench. maybe im baised.

stella mccartney_see previous blog entries

valentino

well there where no red dresses. lots of nude and lavender, rose, gold, and gray. i dug the black orchid print on the chiffon. plus there was swirling organza. the shoes had lace wings on them. fly home buddy boy...

victor&rolf

tulle ball gowns (deep breath) cut in to pieces (another breath) and they turned out fabulous (and exhale.) it was awesome. the dutch duo is awesome. they also did a little lace trip putting their two cents into this season lingerie trend.
vivienne westwood

its all about stoping consumerism and being pro green. the few pieces that stood out from the deflated bra cups and unfinished hems, where the suits. the whole thing was crazy, and i can appreciate that. (check out the flame like hair.)
yves saint laurent

surprise i suppose was my reaction to this collection. it was odd, the laderhosen and strawberry scattered dress. there was no definite statement. very minimalism and lady like things. the suits, well, at least i'll all ways have those.

well thats all for paris. next stop...london.break out those wellies.

daily fashion tip_hair pin. their great for windy days when pieces of your hair randomly go flying about. i have a pearl one, its a bit old but it doest the job. their are tons and extra cheap too if you get them from claires or your local beauty store. in the summer i tend to wear bright plaid patterned and flower one and in the winter i break out the monochromes and jewel pins.

spring 2010 paris deux

its what you've been waiting for. lets not prolong this shall we so start reading.

prepare to be ed-ju-ma-cated:

christian dior

i felt lauren bacall the entire show. its like she was whispering tips into gallianos ear when he was creating the collection. the whole thing screamed femme fatale and i wouldnt have expected anyless because after all dior did start the whole undies peeping out of the clothing thing that every designer has hopped on. it stareted with trech coats, which i love. chiffon dresses, a semi-transparent gown, and a red vamping gown stood out. it was provocative, but who wouldnt want to be? now only if i could get me some humphery bogart...

comme des garcons

i love how rei kawakubo infuses a sense of humor into her shows. the shoulder pads placed oddly_definetly a jab at our current obsession with the strong shoulder this past year. irony the best part of art and she does it to a t. love the collage like mash up of fabric with red glitter over it.

costume national

vegatable died leather biker chick ensemble stood out in the collection. but it seems that using the lame trailing threads is really where its at for capasa. he used it before but the effect is pretty awesome almost floaty gohst like. plus the slashed dress are tottaly for the vamping. nd by the way is it even legal to make shorts that short???

elie saab

curves and a little bit of skin guarenteed. some fifties fit dresses and some floor sweeping gowns plus crayon colors. defiently a collection for the redcarpet lady.

giambattista valli

a contrast to the fall collection with shorter hems. a lot of drop wait dresses. some cocoon coats and a few jazzy like numbers and oversized carpet looking prints. i loved the bright pops of color at the end.

givenchy

high waist lines and print covered everything. the first look was a geometric jersey jacket with draped pants and a logenze fronted top. very roman arabic thing goning on. i like the kilts and the tulle swathed dresses a ton. peep the multilayered tutus. the white dresses at the end are definetly my favorite.

hermes

tennis was the theme. different variations of the tennis skirt, some long cardigans, and club ts. the blue suede umpire blazer screamed to me. hermes clothing is perfect because its instyle without being trendy. you know if you buy it you can where it again and it will still have the same affect no matter what the year. plus there where navy or white ankle skimming gowns that had absolutley no competition. game.set.match.

issey miyake

a floating black gown did it for me. patchwork and handpinting had their mark, but that gown. it was interesting, kind of like all the spots on a compass where like hey lets get together and make clothes. and the best part is, it turned out pretty awesome. (peep the saddle shoes.)

jean paul gaultier

he named the collection, "the g spot." there was the cone bra corset. there was a model who came out with quite a bit of bottom heavy paddign and she looked a little embarassed. i loved the overalls though.

john galliano

hollywood hollywood. and not in the micheal kors way, in a way about film noir divas losing their influence. (did u see the bubbles on the runway? awesome right?) it was kida a story about how old was getting kicked out by new technology. i loved the coats covered in film gel flower clusters. there where some bias cuts i dug. the creepy doll make up? well that, i kinda dug too.

to prevent you from having a brain overload spring 2010 paris trois will be posted tmrw.

daily fashion tip_dark chocolate. i love it and thats why you need it. not further questions please.
