What a Shit

So I had almost completely forgotten that Chris Brown was such a little shit until the other day when I saw info on his sentencing on both TMZ and Perez Hilton.
I had no idea how bad Brown's attack on Rihanna was until I read all the police report stuff yesterday. Poor girl! And apparently it had happened more than once! Of course, he went right out and partied after his sentencing (http://www.tmz.com/2009/08/26/chris-brown-club-party-sentencing-assault-rihanna-photo/).
Chris Brown was talented but now I'll just think of him as a douche. Let's hope this wrecks his career. And I'm also kind of secretly hoping he violates his parole and ends up in jail.
But hey, according to the Eagles, ex-cons should get a second chance and become superstars and get paid millions of dollars.
Anyway, I hope that this doesn't happen for Brown. I hope no one ever forgets what a shit he is.

Same Blog, Same Old Jealousy

So I'm feeling kind of violated because, judging by this photo, Olivia has entered my mind and stolen all of my style wishes for herself. Then, because she has money and I don't, she went out and bought everything I want. Rude.
No- I'm not so crazy that I really think this happened, but I am so crazy that I stared at this pic for about 15 minutes. Her combo of the cute black shorts with the basic, slightly oversized button up is fantastic and accessorized perfectly. The black wayfarers (one thing I actually do have!) are cute, the bag is on my list of pipe dreams, and the necklace... oh God the necklace! That is hands down one of the most fantastic pieces of jewelry I have seen EVER. I would love it if I could find something similar. I'm assuming the piece Olivia is wearing cost way above what my budget will allow, but does anybody know of anything comparable?
I originally, judging from her appearances on The City, hated Olivia for being such a stuck-up bitch, but my hate has been replaced by admiration and a desire to raid her closet!

The Green Eyed Monster

So I was just browsing some blogs and happened upon Stephanie Pratt, who, although she may be one of the most clueless bitches of all time (e.g. "it used to be a hamster but now it's a guinea pig"), has been looking quite fabulous lately. She's finally giving back by attending a Much Love Animal Rescue event, not to mention the fact that her blazer and dress are adorable. So I was willing to give her a pass when my gaze happened to travel down towards her ankles and... GASP!!!! She has dared to don one of my most

desired items ever... these purple MiuMiu cutout booties! They are so gorgeous that I gaze at them at least once a day on the Neiman Marcus website. I'm going to have to drop by the store at KoP one day after work to check them out in the flesh. So in conclusion, any credit Stephanie got from me for looking cute and helping homeless dogs has evaporated and been replaced by a crazy jealous rage. I'm seeing red.

Need it Now: Top 5

As fall is fast approaching, I don't welcome the blast of cold weather that is sure to follow, but there is always something exciting about fall fashion. This is when the best, latest, and most imaginative looks emerge and when I always feel there are a few fashionable staples that could really give my wardrobe a jolt. Of all the desirables on my wish list, there are five standouts at the very tippy top.

You'd have to be blind to not notice that a good basic, oversized blazer is a must-have. I have been shopping around for one that is high in fashion but also in quality and comfort. Elizabeth and James seem to have the best choices this season. I expecially love this one because it is stretch knit. ($395) And obviously ripped and ravaged jeans are in as well, but this trend can be a little too wild for some, myself included. I love this Citizens of Humanity pair because they are perfect for someone who wants to be in fashion without being too intense. ($185) I also could use some really great blouses. Clean, white blouses with detail are a must and I absolute love this one from Joie, which is a fun basic. ($220) Another blouse, this black Elizabeth and James number is slightly bohemian but also clean looking. I love the button sleeves and the tie waist. ($295) And lastly, I absolutely cannot step foot into fall without a perfect pair of cutout booties. This Joie pair is perfection. They're sweet and clean but a little rough around the edges. They are definitely my number one most wanted for fall.

So Annoyed: Psycho Drivers

So I was driving back from the Jersey shore on Sunday when a guy in a Mazda merged about two inches in front of me so that I had to slam on my brakes, then shot off at about 80. And we weren't even on a highway!
Now don't get me wrong, I love to speed just as much as the next girl, but speeding combined with irratic driving techniques are what makes, in my book, a psycho driver.
Of course, I met this Mazda guy at the very next light, so it was totally worth it for him to act like he's in such a hurry... NOT! Which brings me to my next point: Where the hell was he going in such a hurry?? Was his wife in the back of the car ready to give birth? Was he being chased by an armed hit man? Actually, he was not. He screeched to a stop at WAWA!!! Oh yeah, cuz that hoagie was totally worth risking everyone's lives over. He needed it RIGHT NOW!!!
In these types of situations, I always find myself crossing my fingers and hoping for a cop around the next corner. But of course, there isn't one when I need him, only when it's 5am and I'm drunk wandering around Philly.

So Exciting!!!!!!!!!!

I am so pumped for the Project Runway season premiere on Thursday on Lifetime. I am also super excited for the special that with air beforehand, which will feature past designers from the show - Project Runway All-Star Challenge. Like a huge nerd, I have reviewed some of the designer's portfolios online already.

I think some of Louise's looks are cute, while some are kind of weird. I feel like she must be a lingerie designer or something.

I also like some of Althea's stuff: But really, who knows who I'll actually like

HOT

So some more premieres, some actresses looking super hot and some I just plain love.

First of all, I can't even try to lie in this situation. Kaitlyn Olson doesn't really look all that interesting or different, but I love her. Being a Philadelphian, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is one of my favorite shows and you never see her anywhere. So I'm just loving that she's out and about. Try some higher heels next time, though, hmmm?
Another of my personal faves, Diane Kruger always looks uber amazing. It doesn't hurt that she's gorgeous. Just try to ignore Sara the best you can (WHO wears jeans, a t-shirt, and a hoodie to a premiere???!!!).

SEXY backless shiny number with a glamorous Mardi-Gras feel. Plus the matching blue shoes. When doesn't Diane look undeniably fantastic?

Christina has been hiding in some cave somewhere for awhile now, but she's looking pretty good for her first night out in forever. Simple but sexy.

And finally, I've saved the best for last. Angelina, who has going more for glam lately has totally called on her sexuality again - and I love it. That's one hot mom.

Something I'm Pissed About

I am so mad that the Eagles invited Michael Vick to play for them. Not only did they extend an invitation, they are going to support him with a 1.5 million dollar contract. That is so shitty. They are bringing a huge mess into Philly that the Eagles most definitely don't need.
As a dog lover, in my eyes someone like Vick is a bad, heartless, unforgivable person. You have to be a real shit to not just dislike dogs, but to murder them like that for sport and money. He should have come out of jail to an absolutely destroyed career, not a brand new opportunity. I am so disappointed in the Eagles for making this decision.
Checking out blogs and Twitter, it looks like I'm not the only one that feels this way. On Craigslist, people are talking about staging protests, some even going so far as to avoid buying products from companies that support the Eagles.
And Eagles, you know I love you, but you deserve everything you get. Not only are you hiring a criminal, you are bringing someone back into football that just got out of jail! I mean, I'm sure he's been working out to avoid being stabbed or having cocaine (or something else unpleasant) shoved up his butt, but it's not like that amounts to, in any way, the amount of training other non-jailed football players get in the off season. What if he's a fat sack??
In conclusion, I think the shittiest thing is that, while Philadelphia is currently outraged about his addition to their team, these feelings will instantly vanish when he actually somehow manages to play well and he'll be embraced like an old friend. Cuz, Philadelphia, I love you but you are oh so fickle.

Christian Louboutin Fall '09

So, somehow, as an untreated shoe fanatic, I had never been to the Christian Louboutin website until today. Usually designer's websites aren't super great, so I never checked. To my surprise, CL's site is fantastic. Apparently, they have a Total Madness page that features 3 special pairs for the season/year. Below is a shot of the TM page and the 3 pairs for fall '09. I also found enlarged photos of the Stelis (left) and Bridget Strass (center), but the Calypso (right) was no where to be found. It looks like these little babies are rare. I looove the Stelis. I can only hope one day to have a pair of CLs all for my very own!

I wish...

I wish I were actually at these parties and fashion shows, however I am not. So, instead I flip through photos at style.com and imagine myself there. In my imagination, these would be my favorites from those events.

Now don't get me wrong, I am not a fan of Olivia Palermo due to her bitchy attitude, but she always looks fantastic. On the last season of The City I wanted to kidnap her blazer.

Is it just me or does Claire Danes always look amazing? She's simple but elegant and adorable. She matches Zac Posen below!

Here she is again - still looking fantastic at a screening of Taking Woodstock.

Lily Donaldson, at the same screening, is so cute and sexy. The all black casual but quite not with the booties makes me want to spend everything in my bank account.

Is it just me or does Molly Sims look super gorgeous? With Joy Bryant in the front row of the Michael Kors Fall '09 show, she looks fantastic. I don't usually really notice her.

And last but most certainly not least, Kate Moss (one of my personal favorite people ever) is looking fantastic as usual, accompanied by Mario Testino and Claudia Schiffer. Claudia is also looking exceptionally lovely with the red lipstick.

WOWed by Fall Fashion

Browsing style.com, I discoverd some fabulous fall fashions from some of my favorite designers. This is all I had time to check out today, but I'm almost certain I'll find even more treasures.

Oscar de la Renta:

Marc Jacobs:

Michael Kors:

Dior

Marc by Marc Jacobs

Oscar de la Renta just makes me want to go to a ball and Dior, with their bright colors, keep my spirits up even though the weather is doomed to get colder. Michael Kors makes me want to be a high powered career woman, Marc Jacobs is so 80's fabulous, and Marc by Marc has awesome warm fall colors and pattern combos. I love some of the shapes this year along with the fact that even though fall is on its way, no one is scared of adding a little color to their wardrobes. Just because it's gloomy out doesn't mean our clothes have to be!

Quick Rant: Way Too Sloppy

I know the sloppy look is in and I like it, but there is a definite threshold that can be crossed where sloppy is no longer stylish and becomes way too over the top. While many do and will disagree with me, one such offender whose look I absolutely hate, but she just keeps creeping back onto fashion blogs and style pages is Agyness Deyn. I used to think she looked cute, but recently my opinion of her has changed.

For example, her looks below really turn me off. She looks like a confused soccer mom.

Posted a few weeks ago by one of my favorite sites, whowhatweardaily.com, I was totally yucked out by this. Chloe is so cute, and yet I am not a fan of that giant denim display, especially buttoned up so high. Below Chloe, is Alexa Chung (on the right) - giant shirt shows itself again, this time paired with... WHAT?... overalls! Also was an outfit featured on WWWD.

And finally, I will conclude this post by showing some slightly sloppy style I actually am a fan of.

Not so oversized to begin with, but Kate's T is still stylish. The skinny jeans help to balance out the billowy shirt.
