I'm Having Muderous Thoughts..

I want to murder my phone! I want to stab it! I want to break it into a million different pieces and never see it again. My phone is retarded (no offense to all the retards out there)...but it's truly the worst phone ever created. It's a T-mobile Dash:And the reason I hate it is the fact that it doesn't work when it's exposed to the cold weather...yes..I know...the freakin' cold weather (and I live in NY and it's freezing outside now). For some reason the battery could be fully charged but once the phone leaves the warm comfy environment of "inside" for the horrible-almost-freezing conditions of the "outside"..the battery shuts off. So I've missed numerous calls and texts from people because of this situation.

So the phone I'm coveting now is the beautiful Blackberry Storm..it's so purrty:Gosh. Isn't it adorable. Sigh. But it's only on Verizon. And I'm stuck with crappy ass Tmobile...but the sad thing is, I don't pay for my cellphone bill...so I really have no say. But yes..I haven't written here in about 3 weeks and this is what I decide to post. Sorry guys. Schools almost over. I will have more time for you guys, promise.

Btw, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I CAN'T BUT YOU SHOULD!

So I'm not American..(though I still consider myself a New Yorker)...so I can't vote. But many of you can. This is an amazing chance to make a difference. I've been obsessed with this election for the past year. I know the candidate's positions. And I wish I could vote, but I can't. So I hope those of you who can vote will also research the candidate's positions and make the choice that will benefit your future and your child's future. Do not vote based on race, do not vote based on personality. Vote on the issues. That is all.

BUSY BUSY BUSY

So...when I started this blog I had all the free time in the world. Classes hadn't started yet. I was only working 3 days a week. Well now things have changed. School started, I now have two jobs and work 40 hrs every week. So I have neglected my baby :(

BTW...

Eva Longoria wore the Marchesa dress that I loved from Fall 09 Fashion Week at last week's Emmy's:

A lot of people hated it. They said she looked like a weird shaped gift that they did not want to unwrap...also they said her hair looked like crap. I will agree that her hair looked really bad (it's like she took some thick pomade and just slapped some on her scalp and let Tony slick it back). But the dress is really cute! Maybe it was fitted too low on her chest (it should have been a couple of inches higher) but besides that, I believe she looked really good...but whatever. I just think it's cool how this dress is about 3 weeks old and she's already rockin' it on the red carpet.

THAT MOTHER CHUCKER!

I love Chuck Bass. I love Ed Westwick.

Gossip Girl was exceptionally good tonight:

That is all.

P.S. I've been extremely busy, so sorry I haven't been updating regularly.

PEOPLE agree with me!

Well...I actually mean People magazine agrees with me. They came out with the Best & Worst dressed list and a friend of ours is on the list! (more on that later). Some of the Best Dressed were Michelle Obama (I agree), Eva Mendes, Rihanna (of course), SJP, and Fergie (wtf...). But yes. Back to our old friend who made the Worst Dressed List....Solange! Ms. Color Blind, Tacky, Hot Mess Princess was on that list:

Justice has been served.

P.S. Part 2 of the previous post is coming soon!

The Best Looks...to ME.

So Fashion Week in NYC is over. Ive been watching Full Frontal Fashion non-stop. So here I have put together some of my favs. This is just Part 1. Part 2 will be tomorrow or in a couple of days. Ok, so I'll go in alphabetical order (pics from style.com):

3.1 Philip Lim

Anna Sui
Derek Lam (LOVED!)

Diane Von Furstenberg:



Donna Karen

Doo.Ri (I neeed this dress)
Erin Fetherston

Halston (umm..yes..that's Cintia Dicker in the blue one-shoulder dress!)




Herve Leger (sex on a stick...quote from style.com)
Jonathan Saunders (MY FAVORITE TWO LOOKS. LOVE IT!!):

Marchesa

Marc Jacobs! (It was more like Fall 09 than Spring 09..nonetheless...amazing...)Monique Lhuillier (I HATED the shoes...but the dresses were very pretty)


Okay. That was Part 1. What did you guys think? Btw, I really wasn't drawn to Marc by Marc Jacobs...strange I know. But my favorite so far has been Jonathon Saunders...the shoes were also amazing. I was disappointed by Michael Kors...he was doing his usual Americana designs but the use of only Primary colors bothered me....the designs were very pretty, though. Lastly, I'm so happy that Arlenis and Seisslee have been walking so much. They're ridiculously gorgeous. I do have this strange obsession with Chanel Iman but I think Arlenis and Seisslee are fiercer than her (sorry for using that word...but they're pretty fierce):

SeissleeArlenis
I'm excited to post Ralph Lauren's collection! It's totally unexpected. But anywhooo, please comment...let me know what you think about the pics I posted above. Part 2 will be posted VERY soon!

I'm ONLY 18 years late

Beverly Hills, 90210. I love this show. And I'm not talking about the new one on the CW..I'm talking about the original series that started in 1990 and ended in 2000. I'm almost finished with the first season and it's probably one of the greatest shows ever...trust me..watch it:

The fashion is hilariously bad..AND good. It's so funny to see where some of the current trends originated. 1. High waist jeans...look above. 2. Raybans...Dylan's fav. 3. Cropped t-shirts that you thought American Apparel had a monopoly on....nope, Donna loved them! Cute girly floral dresses...Kelly obviously had a whole closet filled with them. I could go on..but I won't and I'll just leave you with a pic of Luke Perry aka Dylan McKay aka wannabe James Dean aka Sexy 90s hottie:
I was probably 3 when this picture was taken.....sad I know.

P.S. It's fashion week. I'll give my thoughts when it's over.

OMG, She's Wearing My Dress!!

Prom....its a fancy party that represents the end of HS. It's where teenage girls pretend to be socialites and celebrities. It is sometimes done awkwardly. There is either too much concealer, chunks of red lipstick lodged in their braces, unflattering updos and....the list goes on. However, to the average teenage girl, those things are sooo insignificant. The only thing that would actually ruin a girl's magical/fairytale night is if some random chick was wearing her Jessica Mcclintock dress.

But this nightmare isn't only limited to Prom. It's basically a "leaving your house" nightmare. This recently happened to me at my 21st bday dinner. I bought this cute white Grecian-inspired dress from Forever 21 and my friend had the same dress! Yes....obviously I should have known that a duplicate was roaming the streets of NY, but I didn't care. I wanted a cheap white dress. Her dress was in a different color (green)....but still! I was depressed. So my lovely friend, S, kindly bought a new dress so that I would be happy on my night. But as I write my little anecdote up above...I think I might have been overreacting because I've been seeing the same skirt on all the celebs...and they don't seem to care.

Herve Leger bandage dresses have made women stop saying: "OMG..she's wearing my dress! I'm going to cut her!" to the less violent "Whatever..I look better than that bitch!"

Let's look at the ever popular Herve Leger high-waist bandage skirt that all the young girls have been rocking:

Cassie


RihannaDawn from Danity Kane (on the left)

Melissa from The Pussycat Dolls
Vanessa Simmons

It's a gorgeous skirt so I understand why so many young girls have been wearing it...but still..look above..that's A LOT of girls wearing the same skirt. What do you guys think? Is it fine to wear a piece of clothing KNOWING that so many people have worn it already? We've all spotted tons of girls wearing the same North Face fleece (atleast the ppl in Stony Brook did) or hipster guys wearing their V-neck American Apparel t-shirts. But I'm not sure how I feel about it. We all want to be different but when something feels sooo good (ie. the NF fleece) or looks cute (ie. AA tees) then who's to stop the 6 billion ppl on this earth from looking and feeling good.

Sidenote: How hot is Cassie's outfit?? (esp. those shoes!)

VIRUS IS GONE!

I re-installed Windows...all is well in life.

Noooo! Not a Virus!

I think my computer has a virus. It won't let me click on Google linked sites. It won't let me post pics......how can I have a blog without being able to post pictures??? I don't know! I got Norton Anti-Virus (no, I didn't pay for it..maybe that's why its not working). I keep trying to "clean" my computer but the virus isn't leaving...it's eating my soullll.

I'm pretty sure I know how I got it. I was Goggling pics of Herve Leger skirts and all of sudden, I was under attack! My advice to you guys: never click on a sketchy international link...even if its for your blog. Viruses do not discriminate :(

Oh well. I should stop blabbing about this nasty evil virus and start working on getting rid of it!

When Certain People Try Too Hard...

So let's talk about Solange Knowles. She's the little sister of Ms. Beyonce Knowles (don't get me started on her). She is also a singer like her older sister. I really liked her single Crush...it came out 5 years ago (it's a cute song..d/l it). But to me, Ms. Solange Knowles tries WAY TOO HARD. I believe she sees that Rihanna is considered an eclectic style goddess...so she tries to follow suit. But, not surprisingly, she fails to live up to the cool, always hip Rihanna. An example:
So.....what the hell is this mess?? It looks like she impaled two unsuspecting black cats with her feet. Here's a closeup...sorry:
So you say you wanna see MORE hot mess outfits that only Ms. Solange would wear...well then today is your lucky day!:Listen..I'm all for people taking style risks...that's the whole foundation of fashion (trying different things) But I believe when your mother is Hot Mess of the Decade: Mrs. Tina Knowles you're simply born with Hot Mess blood. I could write an essay about The House of Diarrhea but a picture says more....trust me:

Opinions are Abundant

So...the big fashion Do or maybe Don't of this week has been Rihanna's Balenciaga black & white gladiator boots:



Perez posted a pic of it and you know when he asks everyone's opinion...he probably hates it. Well this wasn't the first time she wore them...so I'm not sure why people are hating on them so much. She wore them on 106 & Park sometime this year (and no..I do not watch that show, I simply happened to come upon some a pic):
Anywhoo...so on every celebrity blog, there seems to be pics of her latest outing with the Balenciaga's...and on every site, there seems to be a lot of hate.

So since the name of the post is "Opinions are Abundant", I will give my very own opinion...I love them! And it's not because I love Rihanna..because I do...it's because I love Nicholas Ghesquière (Balenciaga's creative director). When I saw his Spring 2008 collection last year with all the structured flowered dresses and towering gladiator boots, I was shocked! It's simply art:
Btw, I know that this particular Balenciaga look is somewhat "last year" but since it was put back into the spotlight this week I have to talk about. Sooo what do you guys think?

P.S. Don't worry I will posting real Fashion Dos and Don'ts soon!
