WhyDid Wisdom: When NOT to Fake the Funk

By |December 17th, 2008|WhyDid Wisdom|

A psychic from one of the best Online Fortune Teller Sites once told me that I was “okay with the little white lie.” While this might be true, there are a few things in life that you just shouldn’t fib about.

Herve Leger Bandage Dresses- Bebe, Express, and Alice and Olivia have all tried to replicate this trendy dress. None of them have been able to really recreate the drama of the real thing. A real Herve Leger dress hugs you in all of the right places and sucks you in in the others (think of Spanx gone sexy). There are no stray threads, the fabric is heavy and thick, and it only comes in certain styles each season. A black Herve bandage dress is worth the investment. It can be worn for a multitude of occasions. Skip the imitations though. You’ll only end up looking cheap, not chic.

Lips-Ugh! Have you ever seen women walking around with “duck lips”? So gross. There is nothing sexy about looking like Donald Duck’s sister. I understand that voluptuous lips like Angelina Jolie’s and Scarlett Johannsen’s are sexy, but we weren’t all created equal.  Learn to love your lips and invest in a good lip plumper (Lip Infusion is my favorite). Do you really want to walk around looking like Heidi from The Hills? Didn’t think so.

Believe it or not, Christmas is only 8 days away. I am guessing there are some procrastinators out there who just do NOT know what to buy. So here are a few last minute gift ideas.

Chicago, What Are YOU Wearing?

By |December 16th, 2008|Why Did You Wear That?|

Every time, I don’t think it can get any worse. It does.  Chicago has taken it to a whole new level. Get your barf bags ready… we’re all set for take off.

I’m guessing that this must have been some sort of Maxim “event.” So, why do I get the inkling that Maxim would not be happy to have their name tied to these people walking the “red carpet?”

Do you think that these girls thought that they were supposed to dress up like the hotties in Maxim? Is that why they are wearing these ridiculous outfits? Is the girl on the left wearing her outfit backwards a la Kriss Kross? I mean, I can understand why. She wants her belly ring to show, duh!! (more…)

Why Did You Wear That: Lauren Conrad

By |December 10th, 2008|Celebrity Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

LAUREN CONRAD COLLECTION

Let me start off by saying I am not trying to be a hater. I think that everyone should pursue their dreams and go after what they want to do in life. But let’s be serious… can we really call this fashion?

Not only are her designs completely uninspired, but you are also paying $168 for a jersey dress that you could have bought at Forever21.  I honestly can NOT believe they allow her to show at Fashion Week. It’s a joke. Why doesn’t American Apparel have a show while they’re at it? Next thing you know she’ll be at Bryant Park.

I will give the girl credit since unlike most celebrity brands, she actually “designs” hers.  Which is pretty obvious considering it is lacking any creativity. I get that it is easy and “accessible” but that’s just it.  You could have thought this up yourself and gathered these pieces from Express. What ever happened to designers like Zac Posen and Jason Wu? Now that’s talent.

I guess if you have enough $$ anything is possible. (more…)

Las Vegas, What Are YOU Wearing?

By |December 9th, 2008|Why Did You Wear That?|

Okay, so I know that Vegas is a lotta flash and a lotta cash… but I am having a really difficult time digesting this. Some of it was spent on the ideal charter mini bus rental we’d hired to get to the venue, but the rest I didn’t know what to do. Seriously, my stomach is churning. I think I may have nightmares after what I’ve just witnessed… Buckle up. It’s gonna be a rough one.

Okay, so I’m a little confused here. Who’s who? I don’t think your boyfriend’s hair should ever be longer than yours. The pixie cut is difficult enough to pull off, you don’t need your boyfriend competing with you!

Um, do you think she knows that her bra is hanging out? Oh… I get it. That’s part of her “outfit”! Clever little devil!

OMG. Sadly, this must be a Vegas TREND! This is so weird to me. We have spent years trying to figure out how to try and HIDE our bra straps and now we’re just popping our bras right out the front our tops? (more…)
