Fashion has gone to shreads!

April 16th 2009 21:09
The term 'shread's' is not always mentioned in a context of good. This time, it's 'great'! A fashion fav, jeans, are now back to shread's, worn and torn. The holey jean is back and in full effect. The fashion runways are burning up with models strutting their stuff in everything from the skinny jean to the boot cut jean, but only with the common denominator of 'holes, rips, shread's and wornage.' Designer's ranging from Diesal to American Eagle are opting to make this old but new trend apart of their collection. And mind you, they are not to expensive. Well, depends on if your opting for designer label. Of course the quality and label would increase the purchase amount. But you can also find similar fashions that follow along this trend at much more reasonable stores and boutiques.




Celebrities ranging from Kate Bosworth to Rhianna are sporting this new trend. You can find this hot style that fits your pockets at lower end retailers such as Old Navy and even Target.

Calvin Klein bore's in 09

April 9th 2009 14:39
When you hear the name 'Calvin Klein', you remember. You remember the trademark iconic jeans everyone use to wear in the 80's and 90's, and if you're a seasoned person, even the 70's. Calvin Klein is a matriarch of American fashion. Founded in 1968, CK has had a lot of different head designers in charge of making a statement with the brand Calvin Klein or CK. Since it's creation, they've expanded to not only making coats, jeans, couture, ready to wear and beauty(fragrance), but also handbags and accessories. They normally bring a sort of classic American look blended with couture and specialty.


Because I love what Calvin Klein stands for(and I love the way their jeans fit me), I try to keep up with their new fashion, designs and spreads. After viewing their RTW(Ready To Wear) Fall 2009 Runway fashions, I have to say I basically fell asleep at my computer.BORING! Believe me, I know that there is an appointed amount of boredom when viewing a runway line but I really did expect a little more from Calvin Klein's line. I feel it was mediocre. Mostly earthen tones and colors, such as white, tan, cream and black, it was a bit dead. Color is what brings fashion to life. A great mixture of color actually. I like earth tone's but I believe that CK should have added a little more color and a more diverse design line. See my pics....



Most of you probably already know that this design is a up and coming trend amongst the design scene. Similar to box shaping around the hips, it pioneers a futuristic feel, remember the Jetsons Many stars has worn this look, i.e. Victoria Beckham.



This look was my favorite design from the Calvin Klein RTW line. A comfortable, loose, free, fitting dress. It's something that all of us would wear any day of the week. I believe these two were the most trend setting designs of the entire line. Below, I've selected a few more designs from the Calvin Klein rtw 09 line......







Mostly all of the rest of the entire line resembled the above 2 designs, but some were in white, tan or cream. Boring! I need to see a more diverse design line. I need options. But regardless of CK missing the mark entirely, he is still one of my fav's.

# 9 on Countdown to things I hate about fashion and people! Skinny Jeans don't work!

April 9th 2009 13:25
I am going to scream this as loudly as I can, Skinny Jean's do not make you look skinny!. That's right! I don't really understand. Why call them skinny, if they don't really make you look it? Now, when girls that are already skinny wear skinny jeans, of course they look skinny, they're already skinny, but what about the thick one's and the stout one's or even the fat one's. The reason I'm voicing this issue is because, a pair of nice, dark blue, skinny jeans, were given to me as a gift for Christmas. I fell in love with them immediately, thought would even trim down my curves(where there's a lot more than most). To my disgust, they didn't make me look skinny at all, if anything, they only made my big butt look bigger. I knew I needed to lose about 20 lbs. of post baby weight(my baby is 7 mths now), but these jeans made me look like I needed to lose a go 40 lbs. Ridiculous

I feel that is false advertising at it's finest people. Some mike differ and argue the fact that they are called skinny jeans because they are made skinny or without any flare to them. Well, regardless of the true intention of it's brilliant creator, they don't live up to the hype for us normal women who don't wear a size negative 00. What really bother's me sometimes is seeing women that are larger than I and those that are extremely large try to wear skinny jeans, OMG! In my mind, I think,"I wish someone would love them enough to tell them that that's not for them." I did some love.

So I tried a bigger tee to camo the sillo that it was portraying. No luck there. So I decided to leave the infamous skinny jeans to the skinny people for right now. But rest assured, as soon as I've lost this extra weight, skinny jeans here I come, I'm coming for ya!

Michelle Obama mmm....Fashion ICON or Fashion MISS

April 3rd 2009 19:43
Michelle Obama---gotta love her! Being that she and her husband Barak Obama, are the first African American president America has seen. Her style and fashion supercedes most in politics, making her a role model and fashion diva, many has come to fashion after.
I'm not sure if she measure's up to all of the hype mentioned in fashion though. I do truely love her style, classic, colorful, taylored, etc, but does she truely have what it takes to become one of the most fashionable diva's in our modern history.

'To Infinity & Beyond with Collars'

July 6th 2008 05:32
Buzz Light-year quoted, 'to infinity and beyond' in the oh so popular toy story movie. Cool! I like far out things, you know, the kind that make me think and stretch my brain. Do you believe in aliens? Life on other planets? Spaceship? Believe it or not, we are headed towards space age thinking, living and technology..... Example: exploring Mars and other planets.

It's cool to me, why, because I'm definately ready to conquer untapped space age FASHION! That's right, FASHION! Designers has given us a preview of one of the top new attributes and upcoming fashion trends for this fall's collection scene and it is...dun dun dun dun

Is Kanye getting in touch with his other side?....

July 6th 2008 04:17
Kanye West is one of my fav current rappers/hip-hop artists. I've followed his career since he first hit the rap scene. I actually mourned with him when his mother passed a while back. He has
been Vuitton's poster child since he first began rapping, placing ad's in his music and sporting Louis in his video's. It's well known that he own's part of the Vuitton fashion empire, but, 'What's up Kanye, who knew you were thinking about designing?'

Kanye is currently working with designer's at Louis Vuitton regarding an upcoming men's shoe line. Sweet! I love the idea, but I'm indifferent. Kanye has a unique style, but have you seen his shoe's? His SHOES! They're not always as 'chic' or 'on', fashion wise, if you get my drift. I'm really hoping that the top designer's at Vuitton really help Kanye gear this new line's design in the right direction, OK

My Checklist:Summer Do's and Don'ts

June 28th 2008 04:35
I've been asked a lot for opinion on what to wear and what not to wear this summer. We all wan't to be in fashion and in line with current Summer 08 trends, but we can do without the fashion mishaps or miscommunications. The definition of fashion miscommunication is wearing an ensemble or piece of fashion because you might have seen someone else wear it or 'do it' that way. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS PEOPLE!!!! So I've brainstormed my own personal list of Summer fashion do's and don'ts.

Do's:

Want to be Rufflicious?

June 20th 2008 16:15
Want to be Rufflicious!

I remember as a little girl, growing up in the 80’s, my mom would put these little light colored dresses on me all the time, and all seemed to have large, small or medium ruffles…uh….I thought ‘THIS HAS TO BE THE MOST HIDIOUS THING EVER, I CAN’T WAIT UNTIL I’M ALL GROWN UP, SO I DON’T WEAR THIS STUFF
