UGGS + Shorts

The weather has been great lately. So great that people are now starting to wear shorts. Now I don't have a probably with that. It's nice outside. Fine. Go put on some shorts. What I do have a problem with is this:

I've seen numerous amouts of people/celebs wearing shorts and UGGs. WTF? I have yet to understand peoples logic when it comes to that. Honestly, if it is warm enough outside to wear shorts why the hell would you wear wool lined boots? That's like me wearing a fucking ski jacket in the middle of July. Do you want your feet to sweat? IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE! You don't look fashionable. You look stupid. I don't care how comfortable they are. You look stupid.

Sure I can't stop anyone from wearing UGGs but please, save the UGGs for winter (or rainy/cold weather at the least).

UPDATE 5/6/09: Apparently they don't make your feet sweat. :P

*This is also my 100th post! Yay! Thank you to the 280 people who have visited my blog. Let's hope that number grows in the future. :)

Effortless

So I'm usually opposed to the 'shorts with leggings' trend (tights I can tolerate) but this girl is an exception. I saw this photo and I couldn't believe how awesome the outfit was. Here are the basics:

Where?:The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival
Who?: Jessica Moreno
Wearing: M.I.A. T-shirt and leggings, vintage cutoff shorts and sunglasses, Converse trainers

The pattern on those leggings are sick! I love the colours. I love the shoes. I love the sunglasses. I love everything about this oufit! Although, I'm sure I could never pull it off as well. I wish I had the same crazy cool style. It appears to be so effortless for some people. Psht. As it is wasn't already good enough...The girl is carrying a goddamn Sidekick. AKA my dream phone since forever.

Sorry to be lame but this outfit is truely insanely epic. Good job Miss Jessica Moreno. (photo from Style.com)

Talk about inspiration

Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen show off her modeling chops in a recent photoshoot. How great are these photos? The outfits are insane. Especially the last one.

I ♥ Vanessa Hudgens

Vanessa Hudgens looks amazing in this months issue of In Style UK. I love her. The outfits are great too! More photo's here.

As you may have noticed. I changed my whole layout. The gray was getting depressing. I'm not too big on my current header though...You like?

Balmain

Credit to JustJared: Beyonce was seen dinning out with her hubby Jay-Z this past Monday (April 13). She looks great! Without even reading you can totally tell she's wearing Balmain. The funny thing is, I posted a set on Polyvore a couple days ago and the whole outfit is almost exactly the same as this. I paired the jacket with acid wash jeans and gladiator heels. Check it out here.

Little fact: Did you know that that partciular Balmain jacket goes for $11,00+! *Sigh* there goes my dream of ever owning one. Why must all these designer clothes only be available to the super rich?!?

[insert something clever here]

I found this picture on OceanUp and I think it's from the same photo shoot from the pictures I posted a while ago. I love this whole editorial! Everything down to the wardrobe choices to the background is awesome. I wonder what magazine she did it for? If anyone knows, let me know.

Apparently it's Emma's 19th birthday today so happy birthday!

On to a more negative note. Sorry for the lame post title. I feel like my posts lately have just been endless amounts of me bashing celebrities. If not bashing celebrities, I'm criticizing other random people. When I first made this blog I had no intention of becoming a mini Perez Hilton. Although...I wouldn't mind all the success he's had. Although it might be hard, I'm going to try to lay off the celebrity bashing for a while. I don't know how long that's going to last but I'll give it a try.

*I haven't gotten any hits since I reached 200. I guess that means I won't be expecting another massive amount of visitors anytime soon. I knew it was too good to be true. :)

POLYVORE.

I've been pretty obsessed with Polyvore lately. It's so much fun! I have fun pretending to be a stylist (my dream job) for hours.

If you don't already know, Polyvore its a site where you can create different outfits (aka "sets") virtually. There are clothes, shoes, and accessories from different websites and stores that you can choose from. The items are listed in different categories based on type of clothing and you can even choose from a particular color. You can create a profile, collect favorite sets that you like, and connect to different people by adding them as contacts. Sometimes different clothing companies have contests to see who can create the best set using items from their store, and they award prizes and the winner is featured. It's fun and unleashes the inner fashion designer in all of us. Check it out if you already haven't.

Well onto my point. If you don't mind, it would be nice if you could check out my sets here (tell me if the links don't work). Focus on the most recent ones. The ones I made when I first started are crap! Tell me what you think. I want the truth! Am I hopeless? You tell me.

Thanks.

Side Note: I started Polyvore like 8 months ago. I was looking back at my old sets and apparently I was ahead of the who plaid shirt trend. Ha! :P

JUMPER

Oh boy.

How NOT to wear a jumpsuit.

How to wear a jumpsuit.

I'm down with the jumpsuit trend. If worn correctly, I think it looks rather cute. I don't like that particular one on Debby so much. I'm sure Jane could rock it though. Although, I don't think I could pull one off myself. I was thinking of trying a Maxi Dress instead. Old Navy has some nice, affordable ones. Getting it hemmed is going to be a bitch though. I hate being short sometimes.

I'm going to go to bed now...Dream happy dreams about Pelayo Diaz and whatnot. Haha.

One last thing. I just realized that blogger had spell check. I accidentally stumbled over it and was like WTF. That would have saved me a lot of time in the past. I can be such a ditz sometimes..

-G'night, xox.

Men and Kilts.

Gossip Girl star Ed Westwick modeled a kilt during the 'Dress To Kilt' Charity Fashion Show at M2 Lounge in NYC on Monday. Fashion god blogger Pelayo Díaz Zapico wears a kilt as he poses for a picture for his blog, katelovesme.

I think it's kind of obvious who pulled it off better (*cough* Pelayo). I don't think I would want my guy to wear a kilt, but if it was Pelayo I'd definiately make an exception. Isn't he kinda sorta gorgeous?

Check out his blog here. I'm probably going to post more on him later. Stay tuned.

This is so wrong

Trend overload alert! Damn, look at those shoes! Nothing says 'BFF' like matching UGG boots. You live in sunny California. Why the fuck would you need to wear UGGs? If the weather requires you to put on sunglasses, I don't think it would require you to put on a pair of shoes suited for cold/winter weather too.

UGGs in L.A. (or any hot place) I will never understand....

I'm in planning class right now. Will post more later.

Michael Angarano♥

I'm sure this post is going to get a lot of people thinking "Who the hell is Michael Angarano?!". I blogged about this way back when I first found out they were filming New Moon in Vancouver. In case you've forgotten let me refresh your memory. Michael Angarano is an actor. Search him up on IMDB for his filmorgraphy. Anyways, I use to have a major crush on this kid when I first watched the Disney movie "Sky High". This was ongoing up until like last year. I found out he had a girlfriend and he started to grow facial hair which makes him look gross. When I found out he was coming to Vancouver, the little obsessed girl in me from a year ago got all excited.

So Michael was spotted in Vancouver this past weekend to (unfortunately) visit his girlfriend Kristen Stewart.

Aww they're wearing matching leather jackets and holding hands. Give me a moment while I throw up.

I've been eyeing the first 2 pics and can't figure out where the heck it was taken. I'm pretty sure the 3rd one was taken near The Keg, the street across Joe Fortes. Looks like Nikki Reed has a case of being the third wheel. I would have loved to be there and meet them but to tell you the truth, Michael looks very unapproachable. I'd probaly end up just staring as they walked by. And this being 1/3 a fashion blog I can't help but comment on their choice of clothing. This (3rd pic) ladies and gentlemen is NOT how to wear a leather/motorcycle jacket. This is also NOT how you cuff your jeans. Sure I'd expect that from KStew but I thought Nikki would have more style than that. They should invest in some new (nicer) shoes too. Michael's outfit has potential. The jeans need to be tighter, the jacket more fitted, maybe throw on a vest or cardigan? Shaving wouldn't hurt either. Overall the outfits had potential. They just weren't executed properly. =)

Ch-Ch-Check it out, Street Fashion Blogs.

As said in the post below, here are some of the other Street Fashion Blogs I visit:

• The Sartorialist
• NAST Magazine
• Drop Snap
• Garance Dore
• The Style Scout
• JAK & JIL

*They're clickable links if you couldn't already tell. =P

If you're new to the whole fashion blog thing try checking out the blogs I have listed on the side ("Always"). Sea of Shoes, Karla's Closet, and Fashion Toast are a must see. I also love Hand me over. Wendy who runs the blog inspired me to go out thrifting. Although I wasn't as lucky as her it made me realize that there's nothing wrong with buying clothes from a thrift store. As a matter of fact, almost every fashion blogger goes thrifting. But that's another post.

Street Fashion (via Urban Dictionary)

1. Street Fashion is a type of fashion that is personal to you. It is something that displays your personality but it still highly trendy and cool. It may even be seen as controversial to others.

So basically the people who own these blogs take pictures of random people the see on the street or anywhere for that matter (hence the name "Street Fashion") who they think have great individual style based on their outfit. Sounds like fun, eh?

Hope you enjoy it and find some inspiration as much as I do!

E.W. + J.S.

How cute are they? Gossip Girl stars Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr were spotted walking around NYC today. They sure aren't afraid to show some PDA. Normally I'm not too big on the whole fedora situation, but it works for her.

Why can't all boys dress like this?

All photos from The Sartorialist.

The world would be a much better place, dontcha thing? I think I'm going to shoot someone if I see another guy wearing Nike Shox, Ed Hardy shirts/hats, The North Face jackets, or baggy jeans down to their knees. Ugh. Don't even get me started.

John Galliano RTW Fall 2009

The designer himself. Totally fierce as always.

The collection was very over the top overall. I thought the pieces in the begining were pretty costumey but towards the end it was great. How crazy are those shoes? And I love that dress (2nd pic). The detailing on each piece is amazing.

A Little "Shoe Porn" For Ya

I just had to put these up ^^. They're Margiela High Tops for goodness sake.

All shoes from Browns.

Barbie gets a makeover

Looks like Barbie is getting a high fashion (not to mention expensive) makeover.

Via PerezHilton: In honor of Barbie's 50th anniversary, Mattel is "introducing" the doll into the fashion industry.This month, Barbie and Ken will be on display at France's Colette boutique. But, making the occasion even more special, (the great) Karl Lagerfeld is dressing the dolls that will be displayed in the windows of the famed Paris boutique.The exhibit will start on March 9th and last through the 28th. They'll even be a whole week in March when the store will display the first ever Barbie and Ken dolls created. Barbie will be dressed by Lagerfeld in everything from dresses to swimsuits, jeans, and even a Chanel suit.

I wouldn't mind playing with those. They clothes alone probably cost more than my whole wardrobe combined. *sigh*

Brilliant.

Fashion fix of the day: Elizabeth and James Spring 2009

So Mary-Kate and Ashley's line Elizabeth and James has revealed their Spring 2009 collection. In my opinion the collection isn't anything too special. It consists of some great blazers as well as a few cute dress. It's comfy and casual but still manages to be fashion forward.The above crappy collages I pulled together are a few of the clothing and jewelry pieces that I really liked. The only thing I'll probably be able to afford is the brass ring on the far right ($95.00). I wish they would make an affordable line kind of like Sarah Jessica Parker's "Bitten" or Amanda Bynes' "Dear". I remember buying a ton of suff from their children's line at Walmart. I still have this pink tweed blazer that I bought back in grade 6 or 7. I never did wear it...

Dsquared²

From Style.com: The Dsquared² girls strutted down the catwalk clutching Starbucks venti lattes and Mochaccinos and toting Us Weeklys in their big leather It bags. Jourdan Dunn checked her BlackBerry, peering over the rims of her retro shades, while another model sucked on a cigarette.

The Starbucks is what got me. It gives it a nice touch. I love the effortless layering. Check out the rest of the great collection HERE.

Emma Watson Schools the cast of Twilight

Found this random photoshoot of Emma Watson on OceanUp. I'm loving it! It's cute, classy, and artsy. Much much better than the cast of Twilight (see last post). The guy in the last pic looks an awful lot like Josh Peck.

Oh and a big congrats to Emma for getting accepted into Yale.
