Oh, it’s so good to be back, dahlings. Ain’t Christmas just a killer? Sure, it’s all warm and fuzzy and what not, but goddang does it ever put a cramp in my snarky style. Couple that with the endless hours I spent hurling my brains out (and not because I drank too heavily, unfortunately) and I’m just plain glad to see the day go. But whatev. Hope your holidays were delightful, my lovelies. Gawd knows they had to have been better than mine.
Anyhoo, back to the business of fashion critiquing. Ahhhh…
I’m not one to banish supposed one-season wonders. If I like something, I generally will stick with it for a while longer. This is especially the case with ombre/gradient effects that though I have toyed with in the last months, my experimentation with this colour effect isn’t going to die away just like that. Not one when I have ordered silk, chiffon, light jersey fabrics for me to get dye happy with.
In the meantime though, I can dream away with Ostwald Helgason’s SS08 collection entitled ‘Le Tricorne’. I would not in a million years guess the inspiration behind this collection. But then again I would not have been bright enough to connect Diaghilev’s Ballet Russes production Le Tricorne with this collection (note…V&A will be staging a major exhibtion on Diaghilev and Ballet Russes…can’t wait!) Picasso, who designed the costumes for this ballet, returning to his Andalusian roots because the story of the ballet was written by Spanish dramatist Gregorio Martinez Sierra and features Spanish dance.
You might have read my About Me section on the left and know that I have three sisters and together we are wildly different in personality but together form a somewhat cohesive sisterhood. It’s a shame that I don’t go back home very much these days and therefore do not see my sisters that often because I really feel like I miss out on all the deets going on in their lives. Par example, I had no idea my sister Yonnica is becoming a bit of a fashion-obsessive until I got home over X’mas and was using her computer and found a carefully organised folder of fashion inspiration images.
I too went through a phase of saving everything in sight that would remotely jog my style brain but I’m showing my age by reverting back to good old fashioned magazine tears and messy wall collages. Of course I realise my 17 year old sister has her own style intuitions, different from my own, but it is with a bit of glee that I know she’ll understand my love of all things decadently beautiful, whimsical and not of our time.

I first told you Mamas about the new innovation in the Spring 2008 line for Pediped Footwear. The new line will now be soft-soled while still maintaining it’s stylish qualities. Here’s a first look of what the Pediped 2008 will look like:
I found this over at Christina’s blog, Ebeautydaily, and it all came back to me. Maxius Adjustacurl Velcro Rollers are surefire grat beauty tool for a great DIY curly hair look!
When I was in fifth grade, I would wonder at magazine glossies that featured women with gorgeous locks. My mum told me, “one day, have your hair permed just like this.” The picture was a n ultra gorgeous brunette with super long hair, up to her waist, with loose, sexy curls. God, I never forgot that!
The week before Christmas I was in Germany for business, and decided that not only did I need a break from the working world, but that it would be foolish to fly all the way over there and not have a little fun. So I headed to Paris for the weekend!
Not only was the city as amazingly beautiful as I had remembered it from my last trip 10 years ago, it was incredible to see the trees along the Champs-Elysees lit up for Christmas. So gorgeous!
Here are the Best Stores For Men in Portland according to GQ Magazine.
Local35
Monthly art exhibitions and a staff that’s never heard the term “hard sell” make shopping at Local 35 a distinct pleasure. Mainly, you come for the T-shirts. They’re a collectible and graphically superior lot. Labels like Brown Sound, Drifter, and the artistic collective F.U.N.—whose limited-run tees are designed by tattoo artists, anime aficionados, and other artistically inclined folks—are shelved alongside trousers and track jackets from Modern Amusement.
This is the trailer to Blonde Ambition, a new movie starring Luke Wilson and Jessica Simpson. Tragically, it will not soon come to a theater near you, as cinema executives showed little interest in picking it up after eight Texas theaters previewed it in a limited engagement over the weekend. It grossed four hundred dollars. Wait no, less than four hundred dollars. And they called her a “jinx.” When “spoiled idiotic individual of no redeemable value to society whose version of ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’ should be banned from the airwaves for inciting mall terrorism” would be so much more appropriate.
I’m not going to bore you with all the Christmas sales insanity/mess that is occuring in the UK at the moment except that I found it a tad disturbing that a woman proudly holding five designer handbags she had picked up at Selfridges, fronted the pages of The Independent today. Nevertheless, sale shopping is a chore that must be endured and investigated as I’m not about let a possible bargain slip away from me. Especially when I have been eyeing up things for a good period of time now, example being these shoes from Kurt Geiger, all with a chunky cylinder heel and gold zip detailing. Now the original prices all being in the £200 region were shockingly high. This is Kurt Geiger, a high street shoe store, we are talking about and for the equivalent price, you could easily buy something a little more high-end. Though the designs are indeed unique and quite a surprise for this shoe chain, I do wonder how people forked over the full wack price.
Perhaps realising, they were being a tad too greedy, the prices have now been reduced by more than 50% and quite rightly so in my opinion! Though by no means a bargain even after reduction, at least we’re looking at something sensible. Banishing silly inflated prices is just one reason why I’ll have to work my way through a some sort of a sales strategy.
