Ankle Boots Is the New Fugly

The boots that are the form of the devil in but in a shoe, are ankle boots. They make my eyes bleed. I know a lot of you like them and think they're fabulous, but I find them simply, and utterly fugly. You may agree with me, and you may not. And if you post a whiny comment how fantabulous they are, and how I am "sooo... wrong" I don't care I will still find them fugly to me. Sorry if you think I sound like a bitch, i'm not don't worry, simply irritated.

What I am excited about though, is orange this season. I'm really liking the colour. I have already got two fabulous orange shirts, and I really like them. I'm not talking about bright, bright orange, I'm mean like a fall-ish orange or a burnt orange.

I don't have this shirt,but I sure do like it: Calvin Klein Jeans Cap Sleeve Top

New York Fashion Week
Spring 2007

Ah yes, New York Fashion. How wonderful. Plenty of fabulous shows, designers, parties. WHy couldn't I have been there. haha. But don't you find it odd that designers display spring 2007 collections, even before fall 2006 has begun? Anyways I'll make my writing short and sweet. Here are three of my favorite shows:

Oscar de la Renta
Classic Collection. This is why I love Oscar.

Diane Von Furstenburg

I love bold prints and colours. And after a long winter, this is the kinda stuff I wanna see to light up my world.

Nicole Miller

I love the flesh tones in this. The boho-chic look was well done, and the patterns and prints were very nice as well.

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT???

Someone acutally fell during a show. I feel so bad for that model. In the Proenza Schooler show, a model fell flat on her face. Luckily while everyone was in shock, one kind hearted soul helped her up. She finished the runway, and came out in the end in giant sunglasses, to probably cover up the red eye.

Grey Is The New Black & Celebs For Aids

A few things I found browsing the Internet ce soir (tonight)

This is piece from the 2006 fall collection by Emilio Pucci. I love, love this. The dress is great, sexy, yet sophisticated. The black pumps and bag are fabulous as well. I'm not so keen on the hat though, possibly a cute black or grey lady fedora instead. Although Pucci has been disapointing lately, and has lost that allure it use to have, it's great that they still make some gorgeous outfits.

I found this great ad, for aids awareness. I think it's great celebrities are doing these things. (like the chains at aldo and the ads) I think more people are noticing it, and celebrities should always do more to help, especially when so much people look up to them. People in this ad include: David Bowie, Gweneth Paltrow, Heidi Klum and her husband Seal, Richard Geere, Lucy Liu, (can't remember that chicks name) Iman, Lenny Kravitz and Giselle Bundshen.

What The Fudge ?!?!

Honestly what the f***?. This fall 2006 collection by Vivienne Westwood is by far the fugliest collection I've seen this year, if not more. For such a famous and well known designer, hey? I don't know, maybe she was trying to be original, if so, she was. I mean look at the clothes. I've had horrible colds, and sneezed out prettier things. Anyways, Vivienne here is like 90 billion years old, maybe she's just losing it. Take at her, and the collection for yourself.

Who would buy these pieces of fuglyness clothing? Viv right on top

A Special Mention: Tights & Sights

Lately my dear friend Marissa has actually been updating her blog. She does such a wonderful job, and I love her blog. Except, (unlike the cool me) doesn't get much visitation. So I thought I could spread the word of her blog like a messenger. Anyways she blogs about anything really; fashion, home decor, movies, annoying things, etc.... So go check it out.

Ain't No Other Look?

Is it just me? Or is it when any celeb gets a makeover they go for that 40's glamour/Marilyn Monroe look, or they always have had sported that look. You know what I mean; red lipstick, bombshell blonde hair, black eyeliner, (like Marilyn) and classy looking outfits.

A recent one who's given up her skanky backround is Christina Aguilera. Although she looks a lot better, she has taken up the Marilyn. One to finally give it up is Scarlett Johansson. She threw away her red lipstick, and is going for the more au-naturel look.

Celebs who do sport the look or have recently: Christina Aguilera, Gweneth Paltrow, Scarlett Johansson, Gwen Stefani, Renee Zelwegger, Drew Barrymore, Kelly Osbourne, etc...

What do you think ? Hollywood Glamour or New Natural?
