dont stop till you get enough

so today i had a fashion show for my art class. i had so much fun even though i was reall really really nervous. i made two dress but im not going to say anymore more because it was special and blogging about it wont do it justice. my memory will do just fine

but there where alot of crazy things. like i was scared the iron would burn the dress or that the saftey pin and double sided tape wouldnt hold up. but it was all good in the end. then i figured, other people have the same problems with clothing like stains and what not and wrinkles and oh my favorite perportator - pasta scauce.
so here is your ultimate winter clothing care guide courtesy of the things ive learned;

stains
_red wine. though i am not of legal drinking age i have been around many an old person who lacks balance after their first glass. hand wash with club soda. the salt absorbs the stain and prevents it from adhering and the bubbles lift it out of the fabric.
_white wine. again with the balance you old people. rinse in cold water or boiling milk.
_lipstick. remove as much as possible with a credit card or butter knife. dab with a wet wipe and then rinse with hot water to remove oils.
_tomato scauce. i love pasta so this trick has come in handy many a time. i mean alot of the time like once a week. if its small scrape it away then rinse it with cold water and liquid soap. if its big do all those steps then dab it in white wine vinegar.
_beer. rinse in cold soapy water. or pure vodka. thats right folks, vadka.
_oil. rub cornstarch and leave for at least 20 minutes. brush off with dry towel. it works better on silk and wool. when you get home pretreat with citrus oil or gall soap.
_make up. sponge that spot with a slice of white bread. no im not being racist toward potato and wheat bread and rye. white bread just works better.

care
_sweat stains. diluted vinegar.
_pilling. there are pill removers these days but i prefer the gangster gangster approach: a steady hand and a sharp razor.
_hanging. use wooden hangers. put dresses up with the lining facing out and hang creased trousers with the creases aligned.
_sweaters. fold and stack sweaters. when you hang them up they loose their shape. fold em just like shirts.

travel
_keep your best things in your hand luggage. have you seen those news segments on airport storage rooms full of lost travel stuff? those joints are huge!!
_wrinkles. after your done flying put your clothes on a hanger. hang them in the bathroom and take a nice hot shower. you'll be clean and your clothes will be unwrinkled.

prepartaion
_first aid kit. i used this a lot today. you have no idea. lint brush, sewing kit (saftey pins work for parties), and double sided tape. you'll thank me about that last one when those pictures of your boob arent on facebook...
_apron. thats right hosewife, strap it on to keep the stuff off in the kitchen. betty crocker would be so proud.

laundry
_put soap on stains the minuet they happen. its harder to remove them when their dry. theres always gall soap for you procrastinators.
_no bleach. remeber micheal jackson? enough said.

daily fashion tip_bow tie. the tuxedo look is always a winner for parties. if your hip wear some mens style pants or if your young do it with a bright colored cardi. dont forget that white shirt. ya lookin slick already...

resting on the l

so i went online today and to my utter dissapointment i realize that they do not make dr martens in my size. (big heavy sigh inserted here). i really wanted some. okay well actually i wanted the electric blue ones and the ones with the flowers on them but i have realized over the years that womens size twelve is not a common size. i am a minority. but here are some awesome dr marten pics tht i kinda like.

they are just too cool for school

daily fashion tip_dr martens. they make you instantly punkier grungeier and hipper. you be so rock and roll people will ask you if your last name is jagger. ok not really but it will definetly give you this tuff as nails kindof vibe evn if you wear them in neon pink but imgaine how cool neon pink dr martens would look with a little white dress. so get some cause you aint going out like a suker now way...

eggelton and bacon

this title is for my friend who likes dijon mustard. she knows who she is.

so i just got my self a hat and gloves and scarf from hm. the ones i had last year i absolutely loved they were cream elbow length kintted mittens from urban outfitters, a cream knitted hat with the little pompom on the top (i wore it to the side cause im gangster gangster like that) and a cream chunky knit scarf from hm. today i got blue ones, all different shades of like blue, navy, russian navy combo going on here. i really dig it becasue the different colors mean i can wear it together or mix them with last years still loved slightly darker from wear cream set.

today i played tap tap revenge for the first time!!!!!! it was amazing i had so much fun playing with chels ipod touch. i have a nano that i am quite content with but i would buy a touch just to play tap tap revolution, maybe i would i think. i was sitting there at lunch bobbing my head and tapping the screen like a maniac. i probably looked like a whole fool but i was having fun. check out the link at i want to know about the screen tapping game so im gonna click here

on the other hand, there are only eleven day until rodarte for target!!!!!!!!! go check out tavis page to see her very cool interview with the sister is east bubble funk nowhere. a very nice looking east bubble funk though. this may sound weird but i, a fifteen year old weirdo, have a girl cruch on tavi. she is awesome in ways i have yet to unlock the doors to. i wish her the very best.

if you didnt see it before go watch the paris-shaghai chanel clips and vids. im really considering stealing my grandmothers kimono. well ive considered it before but i think it would look pretty cool as like a sorta kinda jacket in the spring time you know? anyway check out the behive hair and the sparkle and the interesting jade dark red colors and fabric treatment here chanel paris-shanghai

daily fashion tip_hm mag. check it out online if you cant find it in stores. every country has a different one and its really interesting to see whats col and whats not beyond style blogs and profiles. check it out for internation inspiration and when someone ask you why your wearing that say because it very big in such and such place and i just loved the concept...

_the chanel shanghai show is now available online, well technically it happened on the third but those of us not in the jet set crowd now have the luxury of watching it from home...

_sonia rykiel at hm is awesome... i was a tad skeptical (i so srry) but the other day i saw it and i was like ok i can dig it. loving the whole striped thing go check it out.


daily fashion tip_make up bag_my desk is cluttered with eyeliners, mascaras, and lip stains and blams. my besties house is even worse. she has this plastic sandcastle buket she keeps in her bathroom and fills it with all her makeup. one time she couldnt find something so she dumped the bucket upside down. it was like a cascade of color before my very eyes, powder falls is the perfect name for it. her mother had to call for the carpet in their hallway to be cleaned what with the lip gloss smears and the eyeshadows that ever so kindly got trapped in the fibers. cautionary tale loves. if you have an extensive makeup collection then i suggest an ikea drawer thingy with the pullout drawers. put each thing and a seperate drawer and call it a day.

Pssssst...

so so srry so so so srry but the spring accessories post will not go up until tmrw because i have to write and essay tonight nd there simply is not enough time to do this slightly long post. so instead im going to humor you with gossip in hopes that youll be tied over until tmrw.

street cred
_the christian louboutin barbie is on sale, it has been for a while i think but if you fear that a young relative may fall into the carvern of non style when they get older give this to her as a gift. your doing the right thing by teaching the younger generations what is proper you know.
_the chloe spring collection is available. i was not a huge fan of this collection but i did enjoy the blazers so buy those and maybe next season i will once again be wowed by the line that claims to make clothing for femme fatales (my words not theirs)
_twilights eclipse official release date is june 30th, 2009. i will be in there like swim wear.
_if you missed it lawst night rhianna and blake lively where on snl (lively hosted). it was quite hilarious. i do love me some snl/comedy (in tina fey we trust).
_anna kendrick's (jessica in twilight) film, up in the air starring clooney and her self was named best film of the year by the national board of review. i suppose ill be going to see that next weekend then.

daily fashion tip_hairspray. yes the musical is essential too but im talking about the stuff tht holds your hair up. what with all the wind in my neck of the woods i need to buy y self some. somethings are just not cute, including my french braid after its been attacked by winter breezes.
