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?

[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. :)

FEARLESS

So I finally go myself a copy of Taylor Swift's 2nd album 'Fearless' this past weekend. I know it seems super late being a huge fan and all. My excuse? I'm cheap and I was waiting for it to go on sale. It was only $12.00 at Walmart! I already know all the songs give or take a few, but the CD booklet was (obviously) new to me.

Here's a little excerpt from the back of the booklet (you know, the part where the artist thanks people?). It's long but it's well worth your time reading it:

"This album is called 'Fearless,' and I guess I'd like to clarify why we chose that as the title. To me, 'Fearless' is not the absence of fear. It's not being completely unafraid. To me, fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death. Fearless is falling madly in love again, even though you've been hurt before. Fearless is walking into your freshmen year of high school at fifteen. Fearless is getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again...even though every time you've tried before, you've lost. It's fearless to have faith that someday things will change. Fearless is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who only hurts you, even if you can't breathe without them. I think it's fearless to fall for your best friend, even though he's in love with someone else. And when someone apologizes to you enough times for things they'll never stop doing, I think it's fearless to stop believing them. It's fearless to say 'you're not sorry,' and walk away. I think loving someone despite what people think is fearless. I think allowing yourself to cry on the bathroom floor is fearless. Letting go is fearless. Then, moving on and being alright...that's fearless too. But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. You have to believe in love stories and prince charmings and happily ever after. That's why I write these songs. Because I think love is FEARLESS. "

I don't know about you but I thought that was kind of amazing. Very inspirational. As dorky and weird as it sounds, when I first read that it made me tear up a bit (In a good way). I don't know why. I guess I'm just a loser. Haha. I cry easily.

-"'Fearless' is not the absence of fear. It's not being completely unafraid. To me, fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death. " I love that.

-"Fearless is walking into your freshmen year of high school at fifteen." I remeber that day quite clearly. I remeber being a huge dork trying to figure out how to open my lock on my way home. Freshman year was scary.

I just thought I'd share this with all of you. Reading this made me love, appreciate, and respect Taylor more than before. She's honest and real. Listen to the album if you already haven't. Everyone can relate.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Finally...ANDREW W.K.

http://www.mtv.ca/search/video.jhtml?input=andrew%20w.k.#upPlayer

Couldn't actually embed it so just click on the link. This performance made me love Andrew W.K. He gives and insane performance. Check him out singing his song "Party Hard". The engery/vibe itself was just epic. Not usually my type of music but he just excreates awesomeness..I can't help but enjoy it.

I WANT THESE!// 3 Post of the day. Wow!

I want want want these. Early birthday gift anyone?


I know I'm late on the whole MJ t-shirt craze but I really want one. Badly. Almost $100(on ebay) for a t-shirt? No thanks. It makes the "RIP YSL" shirt at $40 seem like nothing.

I also want one of these. But I plan to just make one myself. Sorry Brian Litchenberg, it's not my fault your shirts are so expensive. Rip YSL.

Ever since seeing numerous amounts of people work wonders with AA's Circle Scarf I'm convinced it is so versitile that I just have to have one. But I just can't justify paying $40-ish on a long piece of fabric sewed together at the ends..Even if it is a scarf, halter top, tube dress, caplet, skirt, and drop crotch pants all in one.....

Now I must go study for my math midterm tomorrow. Bleh.

Fashion Fix of the day: Dakota Fanning! Oh-em-gee.

Hi,

Soooo I know I usually love to hate Daktoka Fanning.Well dislike is probably a better word. I guess the way shes all super mature for her age kinda pisses me off. Now to my point...Dakota graces the cover of the latest issue of the French magazine Jalouse. I happen to stumble across a couple pics of the features. I hate to say it, but I actually really really like it. Boy has she grown-up ever since War of the Worlds! More here.

I'm loving the outfit!

Gorg! =)

Fashion fix of the day: Head Dresses//Taylor Swift!

Hey guys! So if you haven't already heard, Taylor Swift is coming out with a line of sundresses with the brand L.E.I. They'll be availiable at your local Walmart next month everywhere in the U.S. of A. Sucks for me since I live in Canada. Oh well, the next time I get to go to the States will be Spring Break...I'll just have to get one then.

My fave. She looks stunning!

I do love me some yellow. =)

In other news...Karl Lagerfeld's Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week collection '09 had some seriously insane head-dresses. They are made out of paper for goodness sake!

Loves it! Karl's is just ah-maz-ing!

Until next time.
