Can't get enough of this site

Okay so I already commented on this (on their site) with a necklace suggestion but I want to provide some more because - I love it

"The first thing you should understand about Justice Hall's mom: she's 17 in this picture. When I was 17 I still hadn't learned how to look directly into the camera, and you better believe I wasn't bold enough to blow up and sex out my hair and be all "what?" But Mrs. Hall was born with style chutzpah. That's probably why she became a cosmetology teacher who taught hair stylists how to do what she was doing as a freaking teenager." 

I adore her necklace as well so I'm on the hunt for a substitute - there's something almost Star Trek about hers which is the aesthetic I would love to duplicate but frankly sci-fi jewelery is hard to come by...

 LOVE THIS ONE.  It's so delicate yet has a presence and a strength that says it WILL get noticed - and I love that you could hang a pendant from it or keep it as is.

Yay for creepy mannequins!

 

 

Just incase you want something a little more subtle.

Look og the Week: Angelina Jolie & Knox

Oh honey.  LOL
The range of faces is priceless.



:O

Oh and by the way...

You wont regret it.

WAAAAAAAAAAH

I LOST MY OLD COMPUTER
AAAAHHHHHHH

Lost in the sense that a person who is on the operating table whose "gone" is "lost".  It didn't get up and wander off when I was in the other room and hasn't heeded my cries of "Computer? Hard Drive? All of the files I've been saving for the past 5 years?"
I've been rebuilding while also attempting to get into colleges (Arcadia University and Cazenovia College are a GO so far!) so that's why I haven't been here.  I'm just forgetting about the rest of the award shows because there's too much to do and too much back tracking that would have to happen to do it.  Next season, I promise. 

Time for me to turn you onto another blog! Wait...why would I do that?  Oh right, it's completely and utterly STELLAR.

This is a site dedicated to awesome moms and the awesome kids that love them.  It showcases their mom's (and sometimes grandmom's) style and includes a little blub about the strong woman in question.  Urban Outfitters is doing a piece in cooperation with them and the latest New York Mag Weddings issue is too (LOVE IT)
There has yet to be a post on this site that hasn't inspired me and or tickled my fancy.
I <3 moms.  I'll be finding a couple of pictures of my own (and maybe grandma too) and sending them in.  You should too!


Finally just a (mental) image that I love:

[At first glance, Melissa's parents look like any spirited beatnick youngsters who may or may not know how to play the dulcimer. But take a closer look at her mom's shoes. Says Melissa: "the bows would come off and inside each bow was a little tube of lipstick in a colour that was complimentary with the lovely orange/green/yellow hues of the dress.'"

THAT'S CRAZY TALK.]

LOVE IT

The other GG: Post One

Whoops, this took awhile.  College aps are the Grendel to my otherwise Beowulf like demeanor.


The Globes where great!  Surprisingly great!  Ricky Gervais was hilarious (of course) some great people won and some adorable/touching speeches were made.  I know they're usually the butt of award show jokes but I think they've been getting steadily better and more credible as the years go on.  Oh, and the people looked GREAT.
And can we just point out how awesome all the color was?

Shall we?

Christian Lacroix Spring 2009 Couture

I know, the first thing I post isn't purple after I make a point of picking it out, but Diane Kruger KILLED IT.

She looked absolutely amazing; the asymmetric neckline and bodice was so intricate and different, not only for that carpet but just in general.  The shots of white were so welcome as opposed to black or another pink, between the bow, the clutch, and her adorable ballerina-esque jewelry, she gleamed.  The ombre-without-being-ombre effect was great, because I've been getting a little tired of that anyway.  The lack of train did not detract from the almost regal quality it possessed.  Yes, I said regal, in the land of Far Far Awesomay.

Lanvin

BOW DOWN.  Extra Kudos to Rose Byrne for braving the rain with that hair, I watched the tables like a hawk during the mingle cam sessions and reactions shots and I noticed that it stayed perfectly in place all night, you go Rose Byrne's hair (team).  She was the first person I saw (after Maria Menunos) and she really set the bar for the whole night.  Dictionary definition of Elegance (yes, with a capital E).  The color is outstanding on just about anyone but it might as well be named Byrne because you couldn't have picked anything better.  Her hair is a great retro look but her color(s) make it modern.  

Christian Siriano - edited

One of the best non Mad Men things she's worn.  Christina Hendricks would be sexy in a potato sack (Two Project Runway references in 2.4 seconds) and that seems to frequently be what she gravitates to.  Some people say she looks stuffed into this but that how she looks in ANYTHING, she would look stuffed into a mens 3XL tshirt.  The color plays off her skin and hair beautifully and I think shows off her curves to the best of their advantage.  The sharp clutch is a nice contrast to the floaty dress.  Snaps for not only letting your hair down but also for doing it in such a modern way.  These actors become so attached to their characters that people usually don't like seeing them without their suits, twinsets, full skirts, and bouffants so GO CHRISTINA!  Love her lipstick color too.

Never looked better.  The color, the hair, the makeup, jewlery, pose, and the dress itself.  Awesome.  I love when people wear shorter dresses to the Globes as much as I love the awesome gowns that are worn.  Are those shoes high enough?

Post two coming soon

Currently CAN NOT STOP listening to "Five to One" by The Doors

Okay yes these are made THAT much better because they have Val Kilmer in them - but come on, they're pretty great +Just about anything can be made better when Linda Evangelista is there.

The 90's were not long enough ago for all the magazines and articles to be fully archived yet, which blows.  I would give a kidney for perfect copies of these, I'd give the other one for the outtakes.  I love fashion in the 1990's, it was all about fun; it was artsy without being preachy, and you had real personality, something the industry is seriously lacking now.  I love when they brought in celebrities as well (see here) because it wasn't all about them, they were models just like everyone else; if they had the personality, it came through.

Okay I can't help it, one last ode to our two stars:

  

Oh and the colors were fantastic.
