Fashion Nazi

I know, i know. Fashion should be all about freedom, self-expression and all that. But sometimes, I can't help but cringe at the many fashion offenses i see on a daily basis. Now, I'm not saying that I'm the end-all,be-all to dressing and style. I'm simply talking about my personal preferences and pet peeves. That's a fine line to looking original and then looking ridiculous. With all that said and done, I just wanted to list done my absolute pet peeves in dressing. In no particular order..

1.I CANNOT stand it when guys where jeans and wifebeaters in public (the mall, the streets)! i just had to get that out there!Yes, even to the beach. A wifebeater and some shorts, are perfectly acceptable beach garb.
2.Tights as pants are not ok! This happens when your crotch area is exposed because of a too short top! On that note, camel toe is unacceptable too! Please take time to invest in underwear that has more coverage.
3.Those long winter boots in a tropical country? I don't think so! Wearing them with the skimpiest shorts and barely there tops does not make them look better. In fact, I think it looks oxymoronic, if anything.
4.Stop it with the denim on denim! It is not cool. You are not a cowboy.
5.Those tights with the lace at the bottom, especially when layered over a denim mini drive me crazy!
6.Low rise jeans that show your butt crack are equally unacceptable. What is that?A piggy bank slot?
7.Lastly, shirts as dresses! enough said.

Paperdolls Version 2009

When I was little, I used to love playing with paperdolls. Does anyone else remember those? You'd sort of cut them out and swap outfits. I distinctly remember one having the same name as my aunt. Anyway, a visit to littlemissdressup revealed looklet.com! What it is is an online paperdoll of sorts. You pick out the models and dress them up! I have to say I am in love! It's extremely addicting. Here are some of the looks I came up with, and now, you'll have to excuse me because I'm off to make some more!

Happy List from the weekend that was

I've decided to take stock of little things that have been keeping me happy. There's nothing like the power of positive thoughts to attract more positive thoughts. I wallowed in my little happy pool on the weekend, which mainly consisted of:

1. Dinner with an old friend (Kaith to be more specific). it was fun to catch up and just talk.
Pictures from the dinner.


2.Late, late night deep converations about nothing and everthing. I went to cy's house after dinner and ended up staying until 3:30 am.
3.Downloaded shows (I'm currently downloading top chef, the rachel zoe project, and project runway, with jason's help of course)
4.Room revamp- My saturday afternoon and night was spent at home, rearranging my room, after I was inspired by Cybill's new and pristine one! I'm really happy with the way mine turned out- all "hotelly" and shiz haha, I just need a flat screen tv (any cheapo one will do)
5.Online shopping- i think i need to stop rambling about the merits of forever21 and elf to just about everyone i meet.
6.Coffee with Sheila- i love how this random thing has become a mini-ritual for both of us. It's simple- we meet up to have coffee and mainly vent about everything and anything.

Sure, I still constantly lust about this bag, or those pair of shoes, or this perosn's life, and I will forever keep on wishing for some things (for jason and i to just be together really), but its nice to see what things i have going for me too. :)

Travel Dreams (for The Secret Purposes)
