I Think She's Serious

Uhhh...

Can I just say that this whole not being involved with this page at all thing was totally not my fault. Yeah.
Did that sound convincing? HA, it's the internet so you can't hear what a bad actress I am. I sound like Meryl Streep right now bitches. Read this in her voice.
And now I'm Katharine Hepburn. Boom. Oh god, this voice is getting annoying fast.
Angie Harmon, Now that's a voice. feel free to read the rest of this post as if I'm married to Jason Sehorn.

Okay this is getting weird, anywho let's just do a quick little post to show I'm still alive while I prepare a long one.
While on Style.com I was looking up lingerie inspired pieces in the Power Search (don't ask, this is what I do) and I found this

from Narciso Rodriguez' Resort 2011 show. And I was...perplexed.
This has got to be one the the blandest garments I've even seen. There's no style, no ingenuity it's just there. And under the Lingerie umbrella? Oh look he put tiny slits under the boobs, cutout's are cool right? That's what all the younger designers are doing! They're so small they just look like rips. I understand that resort collections are not the pinnacle of New but this is a total cop out, a filler piece. It's like adding an extra syllable to a word or just another sound to fill out a line in a sonnet or a song, and I cannot text you with a drink in my hand, eh.
I knew I had to see the rest of the collection to see if any effort was exerted of if the whole thing was in fact done in one sitting on a chaise lounge.
I want it perfectly understood that this is a FIFTEEN look collection. 15.

It's not that he ran out of ideas, HE NEVER HAD ANY IN THE FIRST PLACE. I'm sorry, I'm all of more minimalist or classic shapes, but this is just pathetic. If this is all you got than just cancel the Collection for this year, you've got plenty of other opportunities to try again. Missing a made up season is better than putting this out there, these "looks" are embarrassing. This entire collection has little tiny bits to try and trick you into thinking it's fashion, or that it's even cool. Lies.
Whoah crazy a ONE SHOULDER DRESS, but here's the clincher, it's white. Crazy!
That teal one is just ugly. #4 is actually pretty, but that's it. It's pretty and it's a low slung robe with a contrasting belt.
The next one I just...I can't. #6 ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
And the last one - this was the closing look, this was the last thing people saw when they left his showroom. That. My elementary school art teacher wore that exact same thing, right when she was telling us to paint with our senses and we were still learning what the senses were. Then we just drew imaginary dinosaurs for the rest of the week.

I grow weary. The long drawn out mega couture post is coming within the...day.

My Ken, the Style Icon

YES YES YES
Next month's issue of Esquire UK will feature an editorial that doesn't use Zoolanders or athletes attempting Blue Steel, it will have the ultimate men's fashion icon KEN as the focal point.
Can we get an AMEN
Ken is wearing customs designs by Burberry Prorsum, Gucci, Paul Smith, and Prada.

Main article with more pictures

Of course, Ken's popularity has been soaring thanks to his astounding performance in already-a-classic, Toy Story 3. Ken's style has always been revered by those in the know, and now a wider audience and new generations can bear witness to the pillar of debonair masculinity and grooming artistry.

If you haven't seen Toy Story 3 yet I suggest you do, like right now. But be warned, prepare an dam of tissues for an ocean of tears.

Of course it is common knowledge that I in fact OWN the famous Ken doll represented in this film. He has been my companion for quite some time, even when my parents tried to get me the "Real Hair" Dr. Ken. Can you believe all he came with was a shapeless lab coat, 1 black short-sleeve mock turtleneck, 1 pair of khaki's, and a pair of Frankenstein Doc Martens? He looked like Tom Cruise! It was an impostor - I could never give him the same attention as the real deal - now HE knew/knows how to dress:

(His bow-tie matching cummerbund is currently being used by Barbie as a miniskirt)

Look at that snazzy fella! Look at those abs! Barbie's matching Date Time outfit never stood a chance.

Be sure to pick up your copy of Esquire UK on July 21st.

Oh...snap.

I just gasped IRL when looking at the new Chanel Couture collection
I'll be doing a couture post soon with my favorites from all the collections - updating as they happen.

It really is great

No sneak peaks yet - you can go look at it yourself or wait for me - whatever. But I'll need a day to get everything together.

Here's Blake Lively when she WENT to the show - lucky little thing. Lookin' good.

I Swear...(EDITED)

I Kristen Stewart wears a short, tight dress with one or two long sleeves on it - I'm gonna flip
The whit one she wore to the first Eclipse premier?

I actually LEGIT could not believe how good she looked - sure it was the same thing she always wears (atleast it wasn't black!) but it fit well and she (almost) looked comfortable in it!
But this is all she ever wears! And it's all she continues to wear. It, like just about everything else she does, is such a cop-out, she's just being low maintenance for the sake of being low maintenance. Her other variation? The oh-so flattering straight across strapless/small strap neckline on something short and tight. And then there's all the black. I'm not saying she needs a ball gown with wedding cake ruffles and feathers on her head, NO, I just said she looked great in this! She just needs something different! She's almost been showing signs of a personality lately and her new hair color is really cute (see! I can be nice)

I'll spare you the rest of the picture because I'm trying to save space and you know what she's wearing (if you don't, take a wild guess - go on, I'll give you three chances)
Cute! HAIR and a real smile...?
Okay she's short, really skinny, and has barely and figure - she can pull off this look (sort of) but that doesn't mean that's all she can do! She had the same figure as Ashlee Simpson - or what Nicole Richie had before her babies - or what half of Hollywood has. I'm not saying she has to look like the rest of them (goodness no!) but SHE WEARS THE SAME THING ALL THE TIME AND SHE'S TERRIBLE AT POSING WHICH IS SOMETHING THIS DRESS CAN NOT AND WILL NOT TOLERATE.
Try something right above your knee! If it fits right you wont look short. Try draping, an interesting neckline, COLOR, embellishment, smiling more! Something! Just because I don't enjoy you at all doesn't mean I think you should keep doing this to yourself.
It's not helping that oh-so-stellar public image of yours. This looks like "I don't want to be here; I hate the fact that I am here; they just slapped this dress on me and now I would like to leave; when are you going to start treating me like a serious actress?"

Maybe if you started taking your big break, and all the people that got you there seriously - we would do the same for you. Until then, leave your angst on the set, because you certainly need it there.

EDIT EDIT EDIT:

I have just been alerted to this set of pictures from KS's recent trip to the Today Show

BETTER. Makeup is good, hair is still good, dress is BETTER (shoes are blegh but I never gave her any instructions for shoes so how is she to know?) and a smile
Now this a few steps in the right direction - but we still need color, the absence of color is not the same as not wearing black. Still fits a little weird too. I'M JUST SAYIN
and is it too much to ask for jewelery? (whoa, I've gotta slow down; one step at a time Eleanor)

no really, B+ for effort K-Stew (B = begrudgingly by me)

Look (Quite Literally) of the Day

Katy Perry just makes me smile - she always looks so happy to be where ever she is. Like she just got plopped down from whatever fairy tale she and Russell Brand live in and said "HELLO World! Why it's a BEAUTIFUL day! My name's Katy and I think we should snuggle!"

+ She's got fierce shoes

I would like to draw your attention to my Polyvore account (again) because I've been spending a hell of a lot of time on there lately
