Where did you go? We used to know you.

So my mother got a call from one of my almost-friend's mother asking if I would like to help present a thing on fashion to 13 Japanese exchange students tomorrow.

YES.

Marie Claire: Fashion or Folly?

Ok...so here's something super-positive.....why I hate Marie Claire magazine.

NOT ENOUGH FASHION. I feel like there is so little fashion, and to much editorial stories about life. Blah!! Who wants to read about life in a fashion magazine? Sitting right next to my keyboard is the Marie Claire October 2009 issue, featuring Drew Barrymore and Ellen Page adorned in sunshine-yellow garments. I do have to say, the photograph is very nice and I love the fact that they used a grey backdrop instead of a white. As you flip though the first 15 pages you'll find the usual advertisements for hairspray, brands, stores and makeup. As you go further in, you'll find stuff you would expect in a fashion magazine. Fashion. But it's not until shortly after, you'll find disturbing images that should not even be presented in the most worldly of fashion magazines. Editorial columns on places in Africa where women are forced to be fat, botched cosmetic surgery jobs, disturbing images of women's full deformed breasts and much more. I will never buy another Marie Claire magazine again. I don't care if Audrey Hepburn is on the cover. A big disappointment, but trust me. Its such a waste of $3.50.

people are poos

yes, its true.

i think i hate you, twitter.

What, Bud. What.

So this whole fancah-smancha tea thing is on Sunday. Woo.

ACTUALLY, I love it. I haven't gone for a year....sad times. But for 2 years I would work at it....this time, the tables have turned!! We got a table!!!!

SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? New outfit. And it's needed.

I only have 3 skirts. and 2 of them are ugly...the other is a high-waisted green a-line. Fabulous, but I'd like something neutral.

I think i'm going to keep mah eyes peeled for a LBD...its one of the last essentials I don't own (besides a white oxford shirt...shocking, I know. But I don't have a just plain one.) Or just look for a dress I can dress up and down (which can be a LBD...). In a color. Something fun. Something inexpensive.

This beauty has been on my mind......

Sure its not exactly high-fashion but you know what? It's cute. It's fun. It's youthful.

But then again, it was love at first sight when I saw this in the catalogue....

OSCAR 2010 FASHION

I love the Oscars!!!! But sadly, I have never done an actual blog post on the fashion!!!!!!!! So, here I go. This is all my opinion on the looks that caught my eye.

NOTE: I do not own any of the photographs.

KRISTEN STEWART:

DESIGNER:Monique Lhuillier.

First off: LOVE the dress. Love the color on her. It fits her very nice, and it's a refreshing change to her is usual rocker look. But please, ACCESSORIZE!! This look is screaming for a great necklace or earrings!!!!!!!

RACHEL MCADAMS:

DESIGNER: Elie Saab Couture

When I saw this dress on TV Sunday night, I just about screamed. The colors look absolutely stunning against her complexion, and the bodice is so graceful!!! But once again, she needs a necklace!!! Love the earrings, but she needs that extra pow!

MILEY CYRUS:

DESIGNER: Jenny Packham

Her makeup and hair was so elegant and so chic!!! I'm not a fan of the bodice on her dress, but I love the empire waist and bottom half of the gown. I don't understand the lack of necklaces so far, come on people, now is your chance to glam it up a bit!!!

AMANDA SEYFRIED:

DESIGNER: Giorgio Armani

I love the architecture of this gown. I was a bit hesitant on the bodice, but now I've fallen in love with it. I could defiantly live without that chunky cuff bracelet, though...It seems like an after thought. Never a good thing.

SARAH JESSICA PARKER:

DESIGNER: Chanel

What happened here...? I'm sorry but this is just WEIRD. As much as I love Sarah Jessica, I hate this. HATE IT. The strap is in a strange position and looks like its strangling her. What's with the rock glued on just below her butt? Seriously? I don't know what went wrong........but this is just sad. I love her jewelry...but hate the dress (obviously).

TINA FEY:

DESIGNER: Michael Kors.

I'm not crazy about this. At all. I don't like the nude under the black.....ick. That's all I'm going to say. Ick.

SANDRA BULLOCK:

I don't understand whats so fabulous about this gown. Sure, its pretty. It's gold. It's nice. But it's nothing special. Her hair is blahh as well as her makeup. Meh.

CAMERON DIAZ:

Designer: Oscar de la Renta

This dress is a revolution. I CANNOT EXPLAIN IN SIMPLE TEXT HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS DRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And her hair!!! Her hair is GORGEOUS!!! LOVE her makeup, that red lip is a classic!!! 20 BAZILLION STARS!!!!!!!

MERYL STREEP:

Designer: Chris March

This dress is so classy and so age-appropriate. The draping around the neckline is spot-on. The color is super flattering and just plain beautiful.

1 Goat = 23 Horses

Wow....Its been awhile!!! Life just has been so crazy lately...I haven't had time to blog.
okok, so maybe its not SUPER crazy and I have had time to blog....its just that it takes SO much effort!!

Since the last time I posted, a few exciting things have happened:

1) Four days ago I got my phone upgraded...goodbye LG Rumor, HELLO BLACKBERRY CURVE!!!

2)I am designing costumes for yet another production, only this time, its a musical. Ever heard of 'The Big Bad Musical'? But more of that later. :D

3)I have become an expert on Native Americans.

4)I made the CUTEST sock bunny on earth.

ummm...yeah. I know it doesn't seem like all that much, but it kinda is. LOL.

One of my close friends is turning 17 on Wednesday!!! 17!!!! I remember when we went to the mall for her 13th birthday.....THOSE WERE THE DAYS. :' )

Ok....now onto the musical thing. So the theme is modern-day...not fairytale. Which is awesome. I was so excited to hear the words, "ok, we will just go with modern" come out of Laurie's mouth yesterday. Grinning I answered, "You will NOT be disappointed!!"
I am stoked. Everyone is going to be absolutely fabulous!!
I started sketching like 5 days ago....but I haven't picked out a color pallet yet. Which is kinda a problem...well idk.
I like to have color pallets....it makes everything look more harmonious.

Well, I think my 10 minutes of blabbering is about up......I'm planning on posting a thing on different ways to wear a boyfriend blazer!! So stay tuned. (Seriously....stay tuned. I'm not going to flake out...I WILL-LORD willing- POST THIS.)
