Daytime Emmy Fashion Recap

Monday, August 31st, 2009

Last night, the 2009 daytime Emmy’s took place and, of course, I was more focused on the evening wear than the awards themselves. I mean who watches daytime television anymore anyway. The following are a few outfits that I thought were particularly notable.

Anna Wintour, 59, has been editor-in-chief of the US Vogue Magazine since 1988. She’s seen it all, done it all and has more experience in the fashion industry than any other living woman in the US.

Shopper’s Block? Never When it Comes to Shoes

Friday, August 28th, 2009

I have found that lately, I’m not only having writer’s block, but a shopper’s block as well. I can’t seen to find anything that I’ve been lusting over lately. I don’t know whether its that I’m working in a clothing store again and I’m on shopping burnout mode, or that my personality has just began to value shopping for my home over shopping for my wardrobe. I cannot stop buying things for the house! It’s my latest vice and has been this last year of living in my new apartment. I’ve completely indulged home-wise, splurging on backyard plants and cacti, bedding and fabric for curtains I made myself, and today…my latest binge? New hand towels for my bathroom, lovely soaps, a lovely sea foam green chenille bath mat, and of course…smelly candles in pretty vintage jars. What can I say. I am a sucker for home stuff. Deals? Sure, on some of it. But clothing deals are what I should be on the hunt for. When out at the shops recently, it wasn’t clothes I was pulling at and pricing, it was shoes. I’m good on clothes right now, it’s shoes that I almost need…and of course, want. Besides, right now is the weird in between time when it’s not quite end of summer, but not quite beginning of fall. The transitional time with weird color schemes and styles that are almost too warm to wear right now. Instead, we’ll focus on feet today. As usual, I found two pairs that I liked. One will be an instant hit, the other will take some thought and consideration. Now, at a first glance, this shoe may seem really hideous to many of you…



Ashley Olsen Wants to Quit Fashion

Friday, August 28th, 2009

Ashley Olsen is a classic example of why celebrities should not be entitled to their own fashion line–just because they can.

In July of 2009, Ashley Olsen was quoted in an interview saying that she’s giving up acting for fashion.



Cute Vintage Dresses: Hey, Taxi!!

Friday, August 28th, 2009

Anyone who is a fan of eco-friendly, reworked vintage clothing, the following may excite you:  Many months ago, probably years, I was reading the magazine I too often refer to, NYLON, when I came across a little blurb about an up-and-coming independent clothing line called Taxi CDC. It was prior to me moving back to Los Angeles, so I thought finding any pieces from the line would be a difficult task to feat. Almost one year ago, upon moving back into the City of Angels, I was perusing my new neighborhood–Echo Park–when I came to discover that the actual Taxi CDC boutique was right here in my new hood!
