Oscars 2008

Can I just say yawn! The fashions at this years oscars left me wanting more and not getting more. Between matching one strap, basic sheath with train, red dresses and the only thing setting them apart is some flower embellishment....... Don't even get me started on the strapless mermaid shaped dresses with little color differences, and Camron Diaz please the next time you're wearing an evening gown do something else with your hair other then a ponytail. She looked unfinished, like maybe she had to do her own hair last minute. Yikes! The only ladies that took a risk were the ones that were pregnant. (Stepping off my soap box now.) The men looked great, but of course all men look good in tuxes. Who was my favorite? As the stars would say, "no comment". 

Hats off to Porenza Schouler!

I know it seems early to start talking about fall, but it was fashion week in New York and can I just say My hat is off to Porenza Schouler. Between the colors, shapes, draping and how they make their clothes teeter on the edge of feminine and masculine with out being ridiculous makes me swoon. It's for the business minded woman who's strong and independent and still loves to look lovely. Porenza Schouler gets my vote!

Yes I'm still alive!

You probably thought I was dead, or at least my blog was. Anywho I'm not dead, just trying to fit more projects in then there is time in a day. For instants I'm redecorating my office it will be fabulous w/ crown molding half way up(white) w/ black on bottom and a black and white grand floranteine wall paper on the top half. (maybe a black chandelier if I can find one.) Black, white and inspiring! So that on top of work(very crazy getting ready for spring) and work at home, not to mention trying to squeeze in a social life, means my blog gets bumped. I promise I'll make up for it.

So I got my hair cut and I love it. People say things like "cute hair I wish I dared to do my hair like that." etc. etc. and so on. They say the same thing about my outfits. Here is what I say to that.... you get away with what you allow yourself to get away with. Now take it this is with in means, say you're very hippy on bottom and small on top you probably should not wear skinny jeans, but you could put on a pair of trouser cut pants, a nice heel and fitted vest and still look nice and "trendy". Also make sure that your fashions and trends are age appropriate, if you're forty and still wearing screen print tees that say things like I'm not ugly you are or what ever you should probably give it to your thirteen year old, and maybe just go with a fun print or slight embellishment.So go out there and portray the fashiony side of you!

What do I have something in my teeth?

So the other day I went to a restaurant by myself during my lunch break at work, & you should have seen the looks I got. "Oh honey look she eating lunch alone how sad". Looks of pity and confusion. Sense when did everybody need a second party to eat lunch? I guess it would be another story if I was sitting alone on a friday night crying with a bottle  of half empty wine or something, but lunch on a thursday with a project and everything. Guess what everybody it's alright and I promise once you start doing stuff independently by yourself  you'll wonder why you pretended to like someone so they'll go to lunch with you.

Challenge of the day: Go to a restaurant alone! You'll be surprised how relaxing it is!

Here's another one for you!

So... tomorrow all those who live in Iowa will go out and vote,(maybe) and then wait for the results. Who is going to be in the lead? And I still don't know what I'm going to wear for work tomorrow, perhaps a dress with tights and leg warmers. (For heaven sakes it's 18 degrees outside) Well that's all for now. 

Fashion Belts! Fashion Belts! Fashion Belts!

Calling all ladies don't go throwing your belts for belting your shirts away  yet. I see no sign of them going away any time soon, the styles might be a little different but the look is the same. So if you still find yourself snickering at the lady who "forgot to put her belt in the the belt loops " stop chomp'n  at the gib and go out and get yourself a fashion belt before people start snickering at you!
