I’ve never worn a pair of flats to work, so I know how hard heels are on your tootsies during a long day at the office. That being said, I HAVE NEVER WORN A PAIR OF FLATS TO WORK. Not sure if you know, but beauty is pain. If you’d like to look like a 4’9 midget, please, feel free to slap on your Tory Burch flats and strut on in to the office. Be prepared for no one to pay attention to you or take you seriously. It’s been proven that women in heels are perceived as more “powerful.” I am also aware that unless we’re taking cabs/being chaffuered to work, our heels can take some serious abuse on the commute. So, I get it. We need some alternative footwear. However, there is no need for you to strap your feet into these:

Oh… yeah. Cause I need to wear trash bags on my feet. So, so, so unattractive. Why not opt for something a little more upscale, like custom flip flops if you must swap out your footwear.

Hey, either way, it’s better than tights and sneakers.

VMA(F)- Very Much A Failure

Eminem, Rihanna

Um, so first and foremost, I’m going to pose the question: When is the last time MTV actually even played a music video? Do people still make videos? Why? Seems like a whole lot of money to dump into something that has zero return rate, no? Kinda like a first wife.

Anyway, I’m not going to even bother with any type of fashion recap, cause quite honestly, it was all wretched and I don’t want to suffer through it for a second time. It’s bad enough that MTV will now continuously replay the VMA’s for a solid two an a half weeks. So, in case you missed it (and you miss it for the next 465 times they play it), here’s all you need to know:

  • Eminem is the smartest man on the planet. Demand that you open the show. Collect your money. Get the eff out of there.
  • No one felt like actually singing last night (minus Usher and Taylor Swift). Lip synching is the new black.
  • Lady Gaga is still a freak.
  • Chelsea Handler (god lover her) needed more vodka. I was almost as uncomfortable watching her as she was delivering her punchlines.
  • Taylor Swift and Kanye apparently still aren’t over it.
  • It seems hair streaks are coming back in “style.”
  • Justin Bieber is going to be a huge dickhead in two years.
  • Rihanna still looks like a muppet.
  • Speaking of muppets, Lindsay Lohan stopped by.
  • I need to watch more TV, cause I didn’t know who half the people on my screen were.
  • MTV probably needs to start playing more music videos or stop having the VMA’s. One or the other.
  • It would appear that Pharrell drives a Chevy.
  • There’s only one way to tell the difference between Justin Bieber and Hilary Swank
  • EVERYONE has a British accent.
  • Jared Leto is channeling Ellen Degeneres.
  • Taylor lost her shoes. Oops.
  • Kanye does not grasp the concept of irony.

And there you have it folks. Nothing to see here. Keep the line moving.

Oh, there it is. That familiar nip in the air. Fall has arrived. Fashion week, pumpkin spice lattes, boots, and chunky cashmere are all the best parts of fall. This week’s frocks are dedicated to one of my very favorites, the sweater dress. Always comfy, always cool.

The List Volume XVIII

Oh yes, it is, yet again, that time. In honor of the fashionistas version of Christmas (aka Fashion Night Out), this list is going to be strictly fashion and beauty related. Brace yourselves:

  1. Mandoras. (Fedora + a man wearing it = mandora). Didn’t we go through this once already with JT? I blame you, Kutcher. First the trucker hat, now this?
  2. Long toenails. I’m actually currently an offender. My Minx stayed on so long that it’s time for a trim. Ew. I hate myself.
  3. Men wearing a lot of jewelry. Mr. T was from the 80’s and even then it wasn’t cool.
  4. Dirty shoelaces. 99 cents and you’ve got a new pair!
  5. Open toe booties STILL make no sense.
  6. Backward sunglass wearers. You know who I’m talking about. Having “eyes in the back of your head” is merely a saying.
  7. Adult braces. One word: Invisalign.
  8. Cuffed jeans. Never okay. Ever.
  9. People who attend “fashion week” and are not one of the following: model, designer, editor, buyer, photographer, journalist, stylist, makeup artist, hairstylist, PR, famous. Why not just stay in town for the VMA’s?
  10. You are NOT a model.

Happy Fashion Week!

WhyDid Wisdom: Shut Yo Mouth.

Have you ever been minding your own business when someone came out of nowhere and told you what to do?

A gentleman once informed my girlfriend when she was just wearing her sunglasses and trying to cross the street that it was not, in fact, sunny. She looked at him baffled. “I mean, well thank you, sir. I wasn’t aware that the well being of my pupils lied in your hands. I do, however, appreciate your concern.”

I understand the general comments like, “Your shoe’s untied” or “You’ve got something on your bum” but what about these unnecessary bits of advice? Are they necessary? Probs not.

On the other hand, my bf was manning the Gilt City Sprinkles cupcake truck, when he saw a man give his dog a CHOCOLATE cupcake. That’s right, chocolate. You know, the kind that kills dogs when they eat it. Anyway, he was concerned (as any normal animal lover would be) that the dog was going to die on the spot after ingesting such large quantities of cocoa. So, he said to the man that dogs are not supposed to eat chocolate. What did the man do? He gave a death stare and turned and walked away. I pray that poor pooch made it through the night and then packed his bones and left home.

So when is it okay to give advice and when should you keep your mouth shut? Remember the episode of Sex and the City where Carrie’s friend, Susan Sharon, asks for advice about whether or not to divorce her husband? It’s one of those tricky situations where you lose no matter what you say.

My vote? Unless your friend has spinach in her teeth or is about to fall down a manhole, it’s probably best to keep your mouth shut with the unnecessary commentary.
