Lil Bunny Foo Foo

22 post and counting!!! go me! (insert victory song here.)
well I'm feeling quite culture warrior like today. it seems that even in my small less fashionable learning enviroment, people actually have taste. *tear. im so proud. so todays topic focuses on this and this as in hair. oh yes, one of the most versatile accesories you shall ever have. even if its short, it is still a ginormous part of your daily outfit.

hairbands have made quite a comeback since gossip girl catapulted it as the "it" essential for all queen bees. think of it as an informal crown of anarchy. this year, headbands are more animalistic. i mean everything from bows to bunny ears have popped up on the streets. i've seen rose headbands made from zippers and scarf headbands turned into floppy hair holders. their everywhere; the ears have it. so heres a breif history of this seasons bow, bunny, and mouse ears
_hugh hefner made bunny ears infamous with his rabbit ear playmates
_who could forget bridget jones?
_dont even get me started on paris hilton just google it and decide for yourself
_marc jacobs made a splash, sorry, hop, with his bunny ears in the louis vuitton ready-to-wear 2009 fall collection
_madonna wore them to the met costume institute gala
_as for younger starlets, lilly allen, lady gaga, and the olsen twins have all been spotted dotting their own ears

daily fashion tip_healthy hair is a must! talk to your dermatologist and your hair dresser about the health of your hair. try aveda for natural inexpensive products that actually work. shake that mane.

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.
