As we ponder
A Healthy Love of Fashion?
It’s unfashionable to complain about the models being too skinny. You come off like a hater. I mean, some people are just naturally thin. We want to see these models, this is our ideal. No one wants to buy clothes from a normal looking person. It’s too close to reality. Who wants that? We [...]
The Black Issue
It’s no secret that the fashion industry is a little biased toward tall, skinny, blond hair/blue eyed young, young women. The past few years white has dominated the runways, and we’re not talking about white fabrics. This July Vogue Italia is publishing for the first time, a “Black” issue, one issue featuring mostly black [...]
The Stylebytes Mystery
She left us with a note saying she was off to Stockholm for a long weekend. That was almost a month ago. Were it any other blogger, you might say “oh… they probably ran out of ideas”, or “they just got sick of blogging”, or it’s just a lot of work with little returns… but [...]
This little girl is a natural in 5-inch heels…
Kids never cease to amaze me. I know, when kids are related to you, they seem to be smarter… today I was amazed by my little niece. A year ago I shared with you how I learned how to walk in high heels, as a girl, you couldn’t turn your back without me digging [...]
Knickers in a twist
Ok, I’m going to go out on a limb here.
Yesterday my friend forwarded a Jezebel article about the latest American Apparel cry for attention on YouTube. It made me ask myself… why is American Apparel’s advertising so troublesome? Honestly, I like their advertising… it’s a bit Terry Richardson with less skill, and the typography [...]
Be nice, how to build your style from the inside.
If you have ever noticed someone wearing sweats and a high ponytail looking wonderful, and a person wearing all the right things and looking like an uncomfortable mess, you’ll know that true style comes from the inside. Inner beauty is something anyone can obtain. It’s simple, but not always easy.
When am I ever going to get this season’s handbag?
As a self-proclaimed retail hag, I recommend to everyone that they do take a look at Story of Stuff, especially if, like me shopping or fashion is your passion. It’s inspired me to begin exploring other ways to cultivate creativity (yes, fashion-wise).
Maybe tonight instead of watching re-runs of Seinfeld, sit down and watch the [...]
Growing up can be confusing
I am going through a style crisis. Mentally, physically, emotionally, it’s happening. It’s probably why I’ve refrained from posting any ‘todays attire’s‘ although I can tell you, I’m wearing an outfit I’ve worn before. I know, I know, you’re probably thinking, “Oh god, what next? Think of the children!” Ha. Ha.
As a species, we’re supposed [...]
Eight ways to be your own internet fashion hero
(photo via going.com)
I don’t know, I just click and end up in random places.
Honestly, that’s how I’ve gotten anywhere in life, not that I’ve gotten very far. But there are certain keys in learning how to find my content, and I thought I just might share a little about my sources.
You might think ‘oh wow… [...]
Beyond Pink: Women & Electronics
Blue is for boys and pink is for girls. My first bike was navy blue, I told my dad it was a ‘boys’ bike, but hey, my sister had one two, so in our house this rule did not apply. Actually my mom discouraged the use of pink with us, she thought it was tacky. [...]
