Okay, I don’t know if there will ever be a way for my ear to look this fly, but I can only imagine it to be heavy.
But then again, women can take childbirth, the monthly visitor accompanied by cramping and bikini waxing. I bet the weight of this blingage will hardly scar our existence, given those.
The tragic passing of Alexander McQueen in February 2010 has the fashion world mourning. It was such a great loss; he was truly an artist, in every sense of the word. He left us with a range of masterpieces to be continually inspired with.
I am a middle class worker and there is no way, based on my current pay, that I will ever afford a McQueen. Oddly enough, this morning, his work was the first thing I looked up on Pinterest. (For those who haven’t noticed, I am a Pinterest fan. Click the upper right button to view my boards.)
Sometimes, I envy the spending power of the upper class. They get to experience and wear the genius of so many artists and designers; us middle class men merely look on. I cannot deny the fact that I do sometimes aspire to be as well off as them. But I know my limits, and I am grateful that the media has extensively covered (or at least as much as they can) the works of these modern Da Vincis.
I hope no one would mistake my admiration and aspiration as being ungrateful for what I have. I am grateful; I know I am still far more fortunate than most. I know the poverty statistics, mortality rates, feeding programs and the like. I am not unaware. But you see, high fashion is the cloud I float on. A girl can dream still you know, even at 2-.
“Each piece is unique, as was he.”
McQueen Fashion House, Paris Fashion Week, March 2010
I saw these pieces the first time on Pinterest. They immediately caught my eye, mainly because everything seems to be so dreamy. So I explored the site and I am introduced to BHLDN.
Originating from a Dutch word meaning “to keep”, BHLDN prides itself for creating dreamy, inspired pieces for not-so-ordinary occasions, making it far more memorable and inspirational than one can even imagine.
These cover-ups are just so adorable. I think I mostly loved them for their styling, but you cannot deny the fact that these are well made clothes. Well made INSPIRED clothes.
JC Penney has discontinued the sale of this merchandise. Their official statement reads:
J.C. Penney is committed to being America’s destination for great style and great value for the whole family. We agree that the ‘Too pretty’ t-shirt does not deliver an appropriate message, and we have immediately discontinued its sale. Our merchandise is intended to appeal to a broad customer base, not to offend them. We would like to apologize to our customers and are taking action to ensure that we continue to uphold the integrity of our merchandise that they have come to expect.
I am quite infuriated with this bland statement, so I’ve decided to just enumerate the reasons why.
This is so disappointing. And frustrating.
And I seriously hope they do something about the purchases of this item of clothing. My nieces Myah, Madison and Lily are all in New Jersey and I’d be stumped if one day they saw someone wear that ugly piece of crap. I do not want anything that will make them think that they are less capable and that the boys can just do all the work.
I’ve been wanting to make a purchase on Piperlime. It’s part of the Gap stores (Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic, Piperlime and Athleta), so when a friend of mine asked about Gap, it was almost instinctive to click on Piperlime.
Piperlime has all the things a little lady like me wants. The bags, the shoes, and the Rachel Zoe picks. I mean, come on. She’s the most sought after stylist in Hollywood and the fact that she gives her two cents worth means this store is fashionable, stylish and (because of its consortium) affordable! So yeah, I did some Web window shopping of my own.
I love that this bag transforms to however I want it to.
I have always loved Kate Spade for her colors, but most of the time, I can't really "work" them. I'm not a color gal. Imagine my glee upon seeing this big bowed beauty. Ahhhh. Just precious.
