It's official: I've busted out the leggings. The sun was shining gloriously as I perused the market today, but it just wasn't enough to take the slight chill out of the air. Sadly, I left empty-handed. As much as I wanted to buy the baked bread and the deliciously thick Belgian brownie that was calling my name, I knew it was my starvation mode kicking in--big time. That'll teach me to attempt to cruise the market on an empty stomach. I knew if I bought one thing, it would be the beginning of the end, so I did the sensible (weight-conscious) thing and went home. I came very close to buying a Christian Dior denim jacket that I came across in a charity shop, and then realized that the name was the only reason I wanted the jacket in the first place. As much as I was trying to talk myself into it, it just wasn't my style at all. Even though it doesn't seem like it, today was a win! I saved myself from a lot of useless buying today, which will only lead to bigger and better things later. Pace yourselves, my fierce fashionistas. What you don't buy now will come back to you tenfold! Fashion karma is the best!</div>

As the daylight lessens and the cold air moves in, my sadness at leaving neon colors, short flouncy skirts and bare legs quickly turns into excited anticipation--Fall is on its way, which means hello again to leather jackets and boots! It's finally cool enough to wear this oh-so-cool biker jacket that I snagged at H&M over the summer. I can't confirm or deny, but I'm pretty sure the mere presence of this cropped creation upped my cool status a few notches, and, when paired with these accessories...oh, let me tell you: I am obsessed/head-over-heels in love with my black fedora and Raybans. If there were two accessories I could save in a fire, these would be them. I don't know what it is about this killer combo, but every time I wear them, I have to hold myself back from strutting the streets a la Saturday Night Fever style. Tell me, my fierce fashionistas, what favorite accessories make you want to strut your stuff?</div>

Happy Monday, my fierce fashionistas! Hope the glorious weather of this weekend treated you well! I made the most of mine by color blocking this summer's fiercest colors, while I still can. I must say, these Primark trousers that I came across last year have served me well and are one of my favorite pairs! With a simple switch of a top, they carry me through all seasons, which is going to benefit me this month, as I will not be spending money for quite some time. My four day jaunt in London spiraled me into a recession. What can I say, London is an expensive town and I am an expensive girl! Oh well, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade, right? This is the perfect opportunity to get creative with what I already have and make the most of my already fabulous duds! Stay tuned and...</div>

Since today's outfit post got rained out, I decided to take this opportunity to upload some of my London pics taken in Spitalfields--an artsy/trendy area. When I wasn't busy gawking at the street art and other catchy one-liners, I was combing the vintage shops. I tried my best to emulate the punk/hipster look of the area's natives, but I couldn't, for the life of me, imitate their "slouchy too-cool-to-care" swagger. I guess my cool points don't reach to such levels! If any of you fierce fashionistas happen to venture to the London town, I highly recommend you swing out that way. The ethnic cuisine and quirky coffee shops are a delight, the art is plentiful, and the fashion finds will keep you busy for hours! Until next time...</div>

Good day to you, my fierce fashionistas! Today's theme is comfy and casual. Frolicking the streets of London has left me wiped out! As much as I'd like to spend the next few days in recovery mode, I am sad to report that they will be spent in the gym, shedding the pounds I put on during my macaroon marathon. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I took my first outfit opportunity to rock my Fashion's Night Out souvenir! Not only is the cotton super soft, but it hangs in all the right places. I bought it on Bond Street and managed to snag the last one! How lucky was I? I offset it with stilettos, of course, and this AMAZING clutch I happened to stumble upon during one of my shopping escapades. I was in such fashion shock that I don't even remember the name of the store! Isn't it a studded dream come true? I am officially OBSESSED and am a proud owner of two different colors. It was the highlight of my trip! Have a fantastic day, fashionistas and...</div>

London has taken me by storm! No stilettos for this fashionista! As much as I would love to martyr myself for fashion's sake, I opted for sensible flats and added some color pop in accesories. As you can see, I finally made it inside Buckingham Palace! If you happen to go, you can get your ticket stamped for a free admission! Who knows, I may be back! Stay tuned for more pics to come and...<br />

Is it Special?For every fashion enthusiast lies an equally exacerbated critic, forever accusing our industry's finest of slapping a fancy name on a mediocre product and charging an astronomical price, all in the name of "fashion." All I can say is, oh boy, are they going to have a field day with this latest fashion debut!<br />
<br />
Jil Sander (one of my most favorite designers) has escalated the latest and greatest in designer accessories to a whole new level by throwing out the time honored tradition of conventional handbags and going with...well, an actual paper BAG. Behold *drum roll* the Vasari bag! The days of brown paper bags being reserved for the exclusive use of elementary youngsters are no more! Why? Because Jil Sanders said so! Move aside, school aged children. Fashionistas will take it from here. <br />
<br />
What makes Jil Sander's paper sack more special than any lunch bag found in any supermarket? Wax-coated paper and reinforced seams, that's what! And, for a whooping 185gbp, this embellished sack can be all yours! While I don't see myself rushing to buy one of these Jil Sanders creations any time soon, I am in a rush to find out who will! Tell me, my fierce fashionistas, will you?<br />

You know what I'm talking about; the top secret indulgences that we dare not speak of. For some, it is something as harmless as those visually fascinating Hostess Sno Balls that draw us in every time we set foot in a convenience store. For my Mom, it's singing along to the vocal stylings of Chaka Khan. My guilty indulgence? Paris Hilton.<br />
<br />
Ever since I first saw her Simple Life debut in 2003(which I still continue to watch to this day), I knew I was in it for the long haul. As a socialite, jet-setter, and fashion extraordinaire--What's not to love? Not to mention, anyone who knows how to dress is high on my list of People to Love. I saw her in person while on the red carpet for the MTV Video Music Awards in 2007, and her trademark side-look and wave that she gave me still remains one of my most cherished memories, so imagine my delighted surprise when I found out about her spread for Russia GQ! Her Simple Life days may be long over, but she is still looking fierce, fashion, and fabulous!<br />

Am I complaining? Absolutely not! If it hadn't been for this lovely English weather, who knows when I would've completed my post today? The sunny days are getting more few and far between, with each passing day as dreary as the next; a sure sign that summer is on its way out. What better excuse than to adopt the re-emerging goth trend that is sweeping the Autumn/Winter runway shows! Why fight the gloom? You know what they say: "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!" I don't know about you, my fierce fashionistas, but I am totally on board!<br />
<br />
If there's one thing to be learned about this season's collections, it is that black is back! More and more designers have crossed over to the dark side, and I'm tickled pink! Or should it be black? And, as always, when trends change, it's usually in both the fashion AND makeup scene. <br />

Burgundy lips paired with light foundation are all the rage and I am loving it! It gives a very dramatic "porcelain doll" effect. Have no fear if you are not a fan of burgundy or if *Gasp* it is not in your color wheel. Darken your favorite lip color with a brown eye pencil, or, if you're feeling particularly daring...use black. If this trick is good enough for the industry's premier makeup guru's, it's good enough for this fashionista!<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Prada's Autumn/Winter show revealed an opposite approach in going for a (very) dramatic eye and pale lips. Eyes a little too extreme for your liking? It's nothing a little smokey eye can't fix! Definitely a more subtle approach, but still VERY effective. Make sure to tread this season's makeup trend carefully because it definitely has the potential to become too much too fast, and before you know it, this could be you:</span></div>

I mean, what's not to love? Its classic color -combo has held strong through countless fashion fads and is as timeless as Coco Chanel's Little Black Dress. Its magic ability to make any fashionista look oh-so-effortlessly chic forever keeps me spellbound. <br />
<br />
Don't get me wrong, I love color-blocking as much as the next fashionista, but sometimes it's nice to take a break and go back to the basics. Will you be strutting black and white this fall season? I know I will!<br />

Ever since its 2009 debut, Fashion's Night Out has been a huge success! It was started as a way to help boost the industry's economy by spending the night in celebration, and over the past four years, has evolved into a thriving fashion extravaganza. Fashionistas fill the streets as music blares. Designers launch their latest lines as loyal enthusiasts cram their way in, in hopes of being among one of the firsts to be "in the know." And the "cherry" on top of an epic night is the exclusive "place to be seen" party hosted by Mulberry and Vogue!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh, and the promotions...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can bet your stilettos I'll be punching/shoving/kicking my way into Chanel for a chance snag a souvenir from their one-of-a-kind vending machine that's being displayed especially for FNO! Oh, and of course, I'll be purchasing this year's Fashion's Night Out commemorative t-shirt designed by Jonathan Saunders! At only 18gbp, AND with a portion of the proceeds benefiting a charity for victims of domestic violence, how could I not? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is once again that time of year for Target to make high end fashion accessible to the common masses, and what better way to kick off this season's Designer's For Target collaboration than with the dazzling stylings of the infamous Roberto Cavalli! His trademark prints will soon be gracing the bodies of fashionistas everywhere, and with last year's Missoni's line making record (and website) breaking sales, Cavalli's line is sure to be a huge success! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is, however, only one thing I find alarmingly wrong Cavalli's future line: It will only be available in Australia! I am hoping/praying/lighting candles that Target will come to their senses and make the line available in the U.S. With the gi-normous popularity of the Missoni collection, how could they not? If you happen to live in Australia, clear your schedule for October 31st and head to a Target near you. If you happen to fall into the "geographically challenged" category (like myself), cop a squat behind the nearest computer and do the following: Type <a href="http://www.target.com.au/">www.target.com.au</a> as fast as the wind blows and be prepared to pay a hefty sum in shipping, but fear not, my fierce fashionistas--it will most certainly be worth it. Until then...</div>

<b>Greetings and salutations, my most fierce fashion followers! How goes it in Fashionista Land?

<b>Like any other die hard fashionista, I have my own set of fashion philosophies in which all my ensembles revolve around, and one of those philosophies is: tight is right.

Greetings fellow fashionistas! Today's ensemble is what I like to call a "down with brown" theme. A makeup junkie at heart, I usually first decide what theme I'm going to do my makeup, and the rest just falls into place like magic. My desire for a glowing bronze face trickled down to my tank top and accessories for, what I like to think, is an overall causual/cute look for summer. Maybe I'm hoping the brown will transfer to my ridiculously pale legs, I don't know. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm sorry to say, the pictures are not the greatest. Any fellow military wives know how much our husbands work, which means I have to fend my photographic needs myself. A blogtographer will most definitely be at the top of my list this year! Until next time...</div>

<b>How are my fierce fashion followers today? Hope you all are doing fab, as always. As for myself...I'm feeling <span style="color: blue;">BLUE</span>; as in cobalt blue! I don't normally wear the same color shoes and shirt. It has always seemed like some sort of unofficial faux pas. Then, I thought to myself, "Why the hell not?" One of my favorite things about fashion is going against the grain, taking a risk, and making it work. I'm glad I did, or I would've missed out on this fabulously flawless ensemble! Lesson for today: If you think it doesn't work, go for it anyway. You might miss out on what could've have been, a shamelessly chic opportunity. Until next time...</b></div>

If there's one thing I've learned while living life in the "fash" lane, it is: DON'T DISCARD THE DISCOUNT AISLES! I've found some of my favorite duds cruising the unwanteds. In fact, my outfit today consists of one of the clutches you will find in todays pictures, and I am wearing a lovely oversized cobalt blue silk blouse that I found in the...aHEM--Older women's section. I am NOT ashamed! Cruising the unwanteds section is my favorite weapon of choice. Yes, my lovelies; I said WEAPON. It is a fashion battlefield! Don't knock it til you try it.

Hello, my lovelies! As many of my UK fashionistas know, the sun has not been kind to England for most of this season. In fact, it started to feel like a fleeting image I once imagined. Just when I was going to throw in the towel (or shall say, "duds)--lo and behold! Summer arrived, and just in time for the Olympics. Maybe it was the Greek gods, I don't know. All I care about is FINALLY not having to wear a sweater, and most importantly, I get to wear my fashionably delicious outfits that have been sadly hanging in my closet wayyy longer than they should have. What better way to kick off the late season than with neons and stripes? It's all about color. Now, if only I can get some on my legs...Til next time....</div>

The lawsuit heard around the fashion world is in full force. With an array of red-soled YSL pumps in hand, lawyer David Bernstein went straight for the jugular, claiming he held the definitive proof that YSL came out with red-soled shoes wayyy before 2008 when Louboutin claimed it as his trademark. Bernstein also managed to invoke a few chuckles from the audience when mentioning Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz wearing red-soled shoes. </div>

Not only was it the number 1 exhibit for the Costume Institute, it was the eighth most popular exhibition since the opening of the Met 141 years ago! For the lucky 661,509 people who visited, they once again got to immerse themselves in the raw, mystical, sexy, and dark world of Alexander McQueen, a gifted visionary who was not afraid to push the boundaries of art and fashion. In no particular order, here are my 6 favorite pieces from his collections.

He will be greatly missed, and I don’t think we’ll never be able to gaze upon the latest Haute Couture creations without wondering what his latest vision would have been. He was an artist with a unique outlook on beauty. It is hard to lose some of the world’s best talent. When it comes to coming to terms with death, no one puts it better than Alexander McQueen himself:</font></p> <p align="center"><font size="5" face="AR BERKLEY">“It is important to look at death because it is a part of life. It is a sad thing, melancholy but romantic at the same time. It is the end of a cycle—everything has to end. The cycle of life is positive because it gives room for new things.”</font></p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center"><font color="#ffff00" size="6" face="Lucida Handwriting">Stay Fashionably Fabulous!</font></p> Theresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16071612341699533736noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4831016116918974925.post-25552593999319777292011-08-06T07:39:00.001+02:002011-08-06T16:11:14.357+02:00How Young is too Young?<p align="center"> </p> <p align="center"><font color="#ffff00" size="7" face="Copperplate Gothic Bold"><strong>Drawing the Line: How Young is too Young?</strong></font></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-jTbE3Sey0Qk/TjzTmXJTngI/AAAAAAAAAaw/YmnYN3l53bY/s1600-h/thythelifefiles%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="thythelifefiles" border="0" alt="thythelifefiles" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-i0zeDSTxnwc/TjzTnAL-NsI/AAAAAAAAAa0/3qIbKJohHHU/thythelifefiles_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="382" height="475"></a></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-29DfRlN05EY/TjzTn3oqWpI/AAAAAAAAAa4/0hVDTFBh9V8/s1600-h/thyl2%25255B14%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="thyl2" border="0" alt="thyl2" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-X1-ChbbV4Go/TjzTo7W5Y1I/AAAAAAAAAa8/UUeOZHlOXOs/thyl2_thumb%25255B10%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="527" height="354"></a> </p> <p align="center">Such seduction; appealing allure; enticingly enigmatic. What’s wrong with this picture? Oh yeah…she’s 10-YEARS-OLD! The recent pictorial spread of Thylane Lena-Rose in French Vogue has ignited the latest hell-fire in the fashion industry. Thylane, decked in stilettos and sultry pose, has caused outrage in all media outlets and spawned accusations of exploitation and “child sexualization (opposingviews.com).” </p> <p align="center">In order to consider this from all points of view, I must play the devil’s advocate: Possibly, with the industry’s unwavering standards getting slimmer and slimmer (literally), resulting in new weight regulations, it seems only natural for the industry to turn to the next best alternative: children. Most runway models weigh almost as much as a child anyway, so why not?</p> <p align="center">On the other hand, Europe has always been the leading forefront on the fashion horizon. Without France, we never would have been gifted the genius of Coco Chanel. She revolutionized the way women everywhere wore clothing and changed the core of fashion forever. Paris is the beating heart of this industry, and every year, people from all over the world flock to see what they will be wearing next season; however, is there a boundary, and if so, where do spectators draw the line? With some of the faces gracing designer labels as young as 13-years-old (dailymail.co.uk), could this be the start of a new era? Will 10 be the new 20 and 20 be the new 40? Could the saying “gone with the old and in with the new” be replaced by “gone with the young and in with the younger?” </p> <p align="center">NBC’s headlines were splashed with Thylane’s pictures, with some American’s refering to them as child pornography. Is this any worse than an episode of Toddlers & Tiaras with children around Thylane’s age and younger, parading around with fake tans, an entire M.A.C. cosmetic line on their faces, and costumes reminiscent of a Burlesque show?</p> <p align="center">Despite the controversy, there are a lot of people in support or indifferent to the pictures depicted in French Vogue, and she has the Facebook following to prove it. Age aside, beauty is beauty, and requires no specific age. </p> <p align="center">In spite of negative regard or the different view points I have written, the most important thing remains uncertain: What kind of psychological effect will this have on her as she blossoms into adulthood? Many models before her have told their stories of psychological ramification the industry impacted on them. Can she handle it at such an impressionable age? After all, these are the most critical years that will mold her into the woman she will become. In a superficial society such as ours,where looks are so scrutinized, the never-ending strive for beauty can be a lot for any adult to handle. Even more so if your job depends on it. Our lifestyles and ideas have completely evolved into a way of life that was completely different from my childhood/adolescence. I think it is safe to say that children and adolescents have evolved with the times. Maybe our society has bred her to be unscathed? Only time will tell. So tell me, my fierce fashion followers: What do you have to say about our 10-year-old pictorial debutante? Until next time….</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-GwK14k5B6O8/TjzTp78XjFI/AAAAAAAAAbA/drJdzF6pvYQ/s1600-h/thylane%25255B18%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="thylane" border="0" alt="thylane" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/--YagcLLWxzU/TjzTqgbp3vI/AAAAAAAAAbE/8cVmM6JJVBQ/thylane_thumb%25255B12%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="422" height="315"></a></p> <p align="center"><font color="#ff0000" size="6" face="Lucida Handwriting">Stay Fashionably Fabulous!</font></p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center">**Images from dailymail.co.uk**</p> Theresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16071612341699533736noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4831016116918974925.post-29703917885687607292011-06-24T21:52:00.001+02:002011-06-24T21:54:24.171+02:00Oops…she did it again!<p> </p> <p> </p> <p align="center"><font color="#ff0000" size="7" face="Bodoni MT Black">Going Down (hill) in Style</font></p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-8HadML-sVpE/TgTrFPUBtcI/AAAAAAAAAag/v5dzwBU9qUw/s1600-h/lindsaylohan%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="lindsaylohan" border="0" alt="lindsaylohan" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-aWu7KCt6VKI/TgTrGSpsJ_I/AAAAAAAAAak/mlwuUO_a5dc/lindsaylohan_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="440" height="529"></a></p> <p align="center"> That’s right, my fierce fashion followers: Lindsay Lohan landed herself back in court AGAIN!

LiLo may have lost her sense of right and wrong, sense of morality, and lets not forget her sense of MIND, but thank GAWD she did not lose her sense of FASHION! She ditched her “cleavaged” courtroom past for a more conservative, “please-don’t-throw-me-in-jail” look and rocked it with flashy aviators, a Chanel handbag, and Balenciaga heels (tmz.com).
