The Pink Shirt

I'm wearing a horrible pink shirt right now. It's one of those shirts that I bought years ago thinking it was so fabulous, and yet never really wore it. So insert now, where I am now trying to get some use out of it. It's not working too well. I know I should just throw it out, and yet I can't.

Although not to go too deep into this, but that probably stems for my love for the past. There are three different kinds of people, those who live in the past, those who live in the future, and those lucky enough to live in the now (the moment). Sometime I have reached those euphoric moments of living in the moment, but usually I drift back into the past. Maybe it's a comfort thing? Who knows.

But, this post is not about myself, it is about the gawd awful pink shirt that I am now sporting. We all have one - well maybe not a pink one, but you know what I mean ;). I wonder if I will make it through the day wearing this thing? I mean do I even dare to go outside in it?

Yeah, I think I'll change.

GUESS Tribal E/W Satchel Review

Handbags are like the personal carriers of our souls. They can enhance our personalities and are an extension of our true selves. Which is why choosing the proper bag is so very important.

The GUESS Tribal E/W Satchel is a great throwback to the Italian bags we all know and love. GUESS has always been able to create a great balance between ultra glamorous and staying casual, which is again true for this great handbag. The alligator print gives that exotic dressy feel, while also being something you could sling around your shoulder for everyday use.

The size of this retro-styled classic is large enough to store all of our essentials for the day, while also being small enough where not lose precious time while trying to aimlessly dig for those things we need. To continue with the function tone, the straps are thicker then most, creating a sure not to slip off the shoulder aspect.

For a wear with anything colored satchel, with sturdy makings, and a chic look, this GUESS bag will surely not disappoint as you strut your stuff each and every glamorous day.

This ultra conventional GUESS Tribal satchel retails for $88.

Dresses for your perfect Wedding

A friend of mine was mentioning her dream wedding to me the other day. And interestingly enough, she didn't mention the location, or her dream groom, no, in fact the only thing on her mind was what kind of a dress to choose. Now upon considering this comment, I came to realize that the perfect wedding dress really is quite important to this most significant day of your life. This dress will be seen in many photographs, by the most important people in your life, and you just may want to pass it along to your children as well for their own marriage.

Oddly enough this thought never came to me, but choosing the right dress really can be much harder then it sounds.

In my act to try and help my own friend find a truly beautiful dress that will show her off to the world as she truly does deserve to be seen as, I stumbled across a few of these lovely choices that I would love to share with you all.

Like any other piece of fashion in your own collections, this really needs to be the icing on the cake. It needs to show your true self, and make you truly feel like the absolutely amazing person you all truly are.

While looking through this year's wedding fashions I came across many themes of vintage romanticism that gives off an almost Grecian feel as well. And what better way to be dressed in a wedding as a goddess, right?

Here is a look at some of the fashions I found...


I love the sheer romantic feel this dress gives off. It's simple, feminine, and quite perfect for any wedding.


For a girly, lacy feel, you cannot find much better then this. I love the skirt on this one. It too is simply, and yet very romantic.


For the more Grecian feel, this one is perfect. I love the way the fabric lightly drapes down the back. This is extremely sensual, and yet very graceful.


For a more 'storybook' wedding, it will be hard to beat this one. I tend to more fall on the slimmer styles, but this one is absolutely breathtaking.


This dress just shouts vintage romanticism. It really is stunningly gorgeous.


I very much like the idea of this dress, but I cannot decide if I truly love the skirt. It is simplistic in a very beautiful way though.


This has a very 1950's feel that is quite great. It gives off that whole Grace Kelly feeling that we all know and love.


Vera Wang knows how to make a great wedding dress, and this is no exception. I love the whole Marie Antoinette feel this gives off.


This is another great Vera Wang addition. I love the almost 'fairy' feel this dress gives off. It's mysterious and intriguing to the fullest.


I love the subtlety of this beautiful gown.


Another Grecian feel with this one.


This is a very interesting idea for a wedding dress. I love the almost 1920's feel this one eludes. It's fun, flirty, and daring.


I love the light hint of green on this gown. Who says your wedding dress has to be all white?! I think a splash of colour is a grand idea! =)

H&M Spring 2009 Line

H&M is very much one of my favorite stores. My love for it came about when I was studying in London. Aw...those were good times ;).

H&M offers European, high style of fashions, for cheap. It really is the best of both worlds. Gorgeous looks that will make you feel like a million bucks but for much, much less then that of high-end designer stores.

So how does the 2009 Spring Line pan out? Is it really worth your dollar? Well, take a look for yourself.


The new Spring Line offers many volumes with soft pastels that give off a breezy soft, and very delicate feel. It all has a very Bohemian vibe to it, but with a much more feminine feel. These seem like the perfect fashions to jet off to the South of France, or just take a walk through a beautiful garden.


This pink dress gives off the perfect "Alice In Wonderland" feel. It really is the best summer dress to attend any tea or ice cream social. The gray jacket offers a more sophisticated look.


I love this dress. This is something I would wear often. It's fun, flirty, and looks beyond comfortable too. I love this color blue.


Sophistacation is not wasted on this one. It's classy, and really fun. It almost has a safari feel to it, that adds that little sense of adventure we all love and crave.

The Spring 2009 Line of H&M really looks fabulous! Just another reason why H&M really is one of my favorite places to shop.

Cheers! =)

Fashion In Films... Bride Wars & Push

I saw only two films this past week... yes, I know, shocking for me! lol ;) Well, we all know I have a huge love for all things film related, and it really is no exception when I look at the fashion for films as well.

The two films I saw this past week were Bride Wars and Push. Yes, one is of course a tad more fashion directed, but I will admit that the costumes for Push really were quite amazing.

Bride Wars...

Both Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway had some amazing outfits. Some of my favorites include the blue dress that Anne Hathaway is sporting... It's a very summery dress, that I wish I could have found a better picture of, because it really was cute. It would be great with a thick brown belt too! =)


This dress is gorgeous... I especially like the cute flats...


I actually really loved this suit (yeah, probably minus the blue hair though, lol). It's that perfect business attire, strong, confident, and yet sexy...


Anne Hathaway's coat gives off that perfect romantic Bohemian style that I absolutely love...


I'm up in the air over Miss Hudson's wedding dress, I like it, but I'm not loving it...


I really didn't care much for Anne Hathaway's wedding dress, I like the way the sleeves draped off her shoulders, but, that's about it...


This dress did look a little (keyword: little) better in the film. I do really like the scarf though. It gives a very Italian feel to the whole thing...


Yes, as you can see, the fashion in Bride Wars was more often then not on the better side of things. Themes of romance and bohemian influences were the styles of choice.

Fashions of Push...

Push is a different style altogether. There are themes of Asian influence, as well as almost superhero quirks to add to these characters.

My favorite costume of the whole film is definitely that which was worn by Dakota Fanning. I loved the short skirt, high black boots, simple tee-shirt, and the ultra cute 'Alice In Wonderland' style coat. It was brilliant...


Camilla Bell's glittery suit was fun too...


And last, but not least, is the amazing Djimon Hounsou...his suits were awesomely flashy =)...

I was trying to find a pic of his awesome shades in the opening scene, but have not yet scored one... I'll be on the lookout though. ;)

Well, until we meet again...

Cheers! =)

Fashion Trends 2009

Yes, I admit, I do love fashion. There is something about the way a dress falls on a person, the color of the fabric, and just the way it makes you feel while wearing it, that makes fashion truly great.

So, I decided to take a peek at some various 2009 fashion trends that we can all be on the lookout for...

Grecian Dresses Are Back!

Amen sista! I love these dresses. They are gorgeous to look at, and I love the way they almost float around us as we walk in them.

These flowing fabrics and almost breeze like feelings while wearing them will be great paired with flat strappy sandals. Feel free to bring out your inner goddess with these great looks designed by Valentino, Elie Saab, amongst many others.



As we all know, fashion repeats itself, so it will be grand to see these Grecian styles be re-vamped and brought out for us to create a whole new era of the style.

Grecian styles are already popping up on such fashionistas as Kate Beckinsale...



and Sienna Miller. I personally love this dress Miss Miller is wearing. It really is the perfect dress for Spring and Summer.



Well, as you can tell, I am more then ecstatic at these trends being returned to us. Enjoy!

Cheers! =)
