caution: color and prints
i usually steer clear for prints and vibrant colors. not that i think it's distasteful, but it's just not for me. i like to stay within the muted solids like black, navy, white, off-white, and the occasional red, and then add accents like gold, silver, or a discussion-worthy jacket. i think i'll tread outside of my comfort zone this Spring. i can't help but be willingly obliged.
sunnies
i understand. it doesn't feel like summer in this corner of the country. it's quite depressing. but hey! let's not be debbie downers. it's the season of sunnies, so bust 'em out (cause the sun's still really bright, even on days with an overcast). in the past, i didn't feel very encouraged to buy designer shades; i lost my Michael Kors, my Marc Jacobs, and my Chanel. if you were me, you'd feel the same way. soooo i've been playfully investing in $10 wannabes at Urban Outfitters, Forever 21, and Nordies' very own Brass & Plum. this year, i wanna start investing in the real stuff again. here are some toys and some that are not... which do you like best? i like all of 'em... naturally.
this one also comes in black and tortoise, but it's only $65 so why the heck not?!
this comes in nude, too... but i like it better in black. and bc i look fugly in nude.
i'm torn between tortoise and black...
too sexy to ignore.... don't lie. you love it too
Prada's "Postcard"s
Spring's almost here! And the highly anticipated Prada plastic sunnies are almost touchable... The collection is supposed to represent different favorite summer cities: Pars, London, Lisbon, Manhattan, Los Angeles, and Milan. I lufffff it! Have some fun this summer!! I think we all deserve it :)
The Grammys
I was disappointed Lady GaGa didn't win as many as I thought she would have, but at least Beyonce beat out Taylor Swift. Mind you, I don't hate the cute blonde goddess. She's great... for a model, that is. But honestly, that's all I see in her. So she won the award for Album of the Year. Great. She has a huge teen fan-base. But when I saw her performance at the Grammys last night, I had to look away in remorse. I've never heard anyone as pitchy as she was other than that one time when I saw The Starting Line in concert, but then again they were guys trying to sing like they were 14 years old, screaming to reach that high note their post-puberty vocal chords can't possibly reach. (now that I think about it, if she was to audition for American Idol, her clip would be in the "fail" collection.) I saw her perform live on SNL, and on other award shows and it's all the same. She was pitchy and off-key. I felt really bad for Stevie Nicks, who had to perform with her for one number. Ouch. No legendary music artist deserves to perform under such harsh conditions. It was like needles going through my ears.
Buuuuut, on the other hand, she looked absolutely stunning in her Kaufman Franco. She always looks her best for the red carpet and that is pretty much the only reason why I like her; she has great style. Plus she's actually v. cute. Once she comes into her own, I can see her doing a handbag ad for an edgy Louis Vuitton editorial spread in Vogue (think Madonna), or even a raw Marc Jacobs ad photographed by Terry Richardson with minimal makeup and less perfect curls. I love that girl for her blonde curls and sensible style, but as a music artist? Forget about it.
Anyhow, I rounded up some of my favorite dresses and suits for the evening. And on a side note, I was v. impressed by Kings of Leon's attire. It was v. unexpected from a rock band as theirs, and they looked really good.
