Third time's a charm

Are these boots made for walking? Das boot? Can I possibly be cheesier with my puns? Shouldn't cheesy be spelled with a z? Cheezey.

American apparel I wish I had

I know these items are a bit ridiculous (to say the least) but with the right skirt, pant, jacket, etc I think they would look really good. See Song of Style pic for an example of how I would like to wear them.

Socks as accessories

I think the right socks can make any outfit instantly better...and more comfortable. Examples below. Also, note that this is a unisex trend; I like that about it as well.

Photos

The other day, my boyfriend and I were tooling around the internet looking at different photographers' work and I happened upon the website of Laura McPhee, a woman I used to babysit for.  I think her photos are really amazing.  Below is probably my favorite one, but I also love the ones of India. I posted a couple of Calcutta and the Western US as well but check out more here.

Overload

Whenever I fly somewhere, I chalk myself up to a tired, weary traveler in need of some comforts - which usually amounts to a pile of fashion magazines and airport candy (taking escalators and standing behind slow people in the security line, who somehow still don't know that they have to take their computers out, takes its toll - what a hard journey it is).

Flipping through magazines all at once reveals just how canned and reproduced they all are (but i stupidly still read them). Their covers are maybe the best example - apparently 500+ ways to do something is not enough, 600+ is the new benchmark. Another example? The over romanticized descriptions of the featured clothes and products.

A few favorite words of a fashion copy-writer: slouchy, moody, luxe, chunky, demure, crisp, inky, polished, lipstick-red.

Sometimes..

Fashion is ridiculous.

Another Try

Ideal Hair

Two words: Ideal hair!
Seriously I have no other words. This is the hair I want. I want it. Right length. Right cut. Right volume. Well, actually, mine would be exactly the same but shinier.
