What Everyone Wore Today

Susie Bubble has done it again. Her post, discussing about blogs that only post about what they wore that day, was so in depth and honest- I really admired her for it. And it got me to think, as a lot of my blogs I daily read is mainly composed of outfits. Is posting of outfits without descriptions fashion narcissism? Possibly. Yeah, obviously if someone says look at me, I'm so fashionable, as Susie put it, it is. But even if it is fashion narcissism, I thoroughly enjoy it, for reasons unkown.

What I see in a lot of people that post outfits is that they have a lack of self esteem in their style, and that they want to be reassured that they are fashionable. If that's the way they want to establish and form and be confident in their style, that is honestly the most foolish thing I have ever heard. What I do admire about posting outfits, however, is that it takes somewhat courage to post them. I mean, it is online- you can get as easily criticized as praised.

However, this is NOT the reason I am not posting outfits. It is because of pure laziness. HAHAHA. And I am not technologically advanced to take photos of myself and too cowardy to ask one of my friends to take a picture of me, fearing I will look like a narcissistic fool.

How ironic.

"She is among those turning their backs on ostentatious styling, and especially on the owlishly super-size frames popularized a few years back by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, in favor of scaled-down rectangles in bi-colored plastic, imitation tortoise shell, wood, titanium or even gold."

Funny... since MK and Ash were one of the few that introduced the popularity of the Ray Bans.

Shame on you NY Times... Really. I thought you knew better.

I was never really into Target's private collections (or whatever it is called) but these bubble shorts are completely NECESSARY for my summer wardrobe.

Target here I come! :)

Tory Burch... the epitome of New England private school style

Out of all people, Tory Burch was won a CFDA award for accesory design. I find this incredibly ridiculous, since her designs aren't even that ingenious- she just puts her logos everywhere, therefore, making it popular. It really drives me insane when people like this win such high honors such as the CFDA award. Sure, they're popular, but are they truly a good design? Honestly, no. I could name dozens who should've won this award- Linda Farrow, for example. Quirky, and most of all, creative.

What's going wrong in this world?

Bloodstain

If you know me (or is very observant) I absolutely despise the color red. I don't know why, because red's quite a lovely color, and I am dearly stricken in love by its near relative, pink. But I think I look awful in red and I just don't like it for clothes. It's quite strange.

So obviously I was puzzled when I fell in love with this Marc by Marc dress. It's very gorgeous and retro. Too bad I'll never buy it with its $250 price tag.

Holy Shiznits YSL died!

Marc Jacobs Daisy was named Fragrance of the Year at the FiFi Awards in the women's luxury category. I personally have this perfume, and have to say it definately deserves it. Its aroma is absolutely heavenly! And the packaging is very cute too.

The one thing I didn't understand about hte FiFi Awards (which is like the Oscars for fragrances) is that Vera Wang was given the Hall of Fame Award. I absolutely despise the scent of Princess- it smells like stupid mall brats.

Agyness or not, this is the creepiest mannequin ever.

Gucci much, Bakers?
