I know I shouldn’t talk about people, but this kid setting next to me at Barnes & Noble has the craaaziest dreads I’ve ever seen. They are sticking straight. up.
Oh, this is awesome. I’m completely distracted.
Kay. What happened this week? I mean, other than THE WORLD PREMIER OF LADY GAGA’S “TELEPHONE” VIDEO.
Actually, I haven’t watched the whole thing. But I will. And I’m sure it will be a-glorious. Has anyone seen it? What are we thinking?
I saw the first little bit, and I am consciously looking to incorporate more chains in my accessories, like this young man. Yes, it should be a bit fussy, and it should look dangerous. Worth it.
Another planned adaptation is a new placement of my bracelet to become a handlet, a la LiLo. I don’t know if that’s the proper term for it, but I’m coining it.
If you’ve been inside my apartment, you know I’m a big fan of Lindsay (cite: framed photographs of her. mhm). Aside from the rehab and Ungaro stints, she can do no wrong by me. The handlet is further proof of her greatness. Now, she just needs to rejoin the Gang of Gingers. We will welcome her with open arms, this I can assure you.
If I can’t have a bejeweled handlet, I may opt for something as sparkly as this. We’ll see. Not sure if that’s completely appropriate for my denim-and-flats day-to-day uniform, but it’s worth a shot.
One thing I am still embracing is military jackets. I just saw them referred to as “marching band jackets,” and I fell in love all over again. Being a huge band geek (with four years of drum corps in my past, thank you), I am surprised I never connected the military look to my good ol’ geekery. Balmain, my love, keeps the trend going by adding some padding to the shoulders, and belting it. Boom.
Something I’m going to avoid is the domestic abuse make-up look. Check out model-of-the-moment Tati Cotliar in these Vivienne Westwood accessories ads. Her face looks busted.
In case you are running out of fashion inspiration or ever wanted to sleep again, chictopia.com has the solution. Go on. Just flip right through there. I’ll leave you with that. Good luck stopping.
