No Is The Correct Answer...

...For The Question: Do you think all celebrities are always stylish?

It's time to take another look at the week's mishaps.

Too red, too shiny.
Too short, look there's her hiney!

Carrie, I gotta ask, if for some weird reason you had this strange compulsion to wear this dress, like when I have to buy a pair of shoes I've got my eye on, why the lace, fingerless gloves? And Carrie, why is the dress the color of toothpaste colored vomit? Oh, and Carrie, last question I swear, why did you style your hair like you just won the Miss America Pageant? Because if you were to win the Miss America Pageant, wouldn't you wear something more classy, less trashy? (Again, not judging the dress, I know what it's like when you have an uncontrollable desire to buy and wear)
Sorry about the long letter, Car :)
Love,
A curious and troubled human bean.

I don't know. I mean, it looks fine. But looking closer, it's not fine! It's... weird. It's like.. lace.. with stretch cotton.. and some sort of strange sweater material. And there's a very peculiar, almost trashy face attached to that body.
I'm just... lost. Like a puppy, but stylish.

"Aunt Demi, tell us again how, when you were short of dresses during the recession, you stole your ex-mother-in-law's curtains and had your latest hubby/boy-toy/Ashton Kutcher make it into a dress for you? I think it's just so inspirational. Women's Rights! Yay! *giggle*"

DVTheft

Okay, flashback time. Does anyone remember that episode of Project Runway with Diane Von Furstenberg? The one where she asked all the contestants to design an outfit for her upcoming line? Okay, good we're getting somewhere. Now, try to remember the dress Korto (the proud African) designed for the challenge. It was a black and white dress with a yellow slip underneath, and it was in the top 3. Unfortunately, the look didnot win, because Leanne's was awesome-r. But, I do remember reading about the episode on Jezebel and this is what she said about Korto's dress.

Korto's pop of yellow: Divine. The judges approved. Diane von Furstenberg was eyeing it like she wanted to add it to her collection, for real


And it seems she was right. I was just skimming through some photos of Celebrities' favorite items (Thank you People.com, for being the time-waster of the century) and I couldn't help but notice Jennifer Lopez's favorite item (aside from her glitter suits).

Recognize it? You should. It's DVF and it looks too similar to the dress Korto designed for her.

Um.. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was Leanne who won that competition. So why is Diane Von Furstenberg stealing Korto's dress? Changing it a little doesn't make it her own, does it? As one of DVF's biggest fans, I'm a little shocked right now.

The Beautiful Rings: TBR

Oh Ma Gawd. I was watching The Beautiful Life the other day, and I couldn't help but notice the GORGEOUS rings that Raina and British Chick (I didn't care to learn her name, not a fan.) were wearing at the Versace shoot.



I need those rings.

Post Secret Of The Week

I want her to be my best friend

Mischa Barton Lookin Good Bad.

Mischa Barton seems to be on a roller coaster ride of good and bad these days. Every look is a hit, but lurking between each hit, is a miss. Let's go from old to new:

Perfection, I believe.

Lindsay Lohan is that you wearing Samantha Ronson's hat? Wha.. No? But.. who else can it be?! Oh yeah that's right, the latest addition to I'm A Crackwhore Get Me Out Of Here. Well, I guess it's true what they say "You are what you eat (or snort)"

Gorgeous in Red. I love this look, it's so glam and she so doesn't look like she'd just been through.. a dental surgery :)

She looks like a madwoman here. The facial expression, those bangs, that black cutout paper thing she's wearing.

I fly like paper get high like planes

All I wanna do is *gun sounds*
And *more gun sounds*
And take your money :)

Wow, I think I found THE song!

So simple. So pretty. So elegant. And once again, so normal.

This reminds me of something, I just can't put my finger on it.. Oh thats right, she looks like one of Tim Burton's characters. But you know, if one of those characters were a celebrity who's mere existence sometimes made everyone really sad.

You all know who we need to thank for this, right?
Herve Leger, for making such flattering and gorgeous dresses.
And BCBG for bringing us Herve Leger.
And Max Azria for bringing us all of the above.

"Somebody ring the alarm! My Aunt Gertrude escaped the building!! She's wearing an unflattering black and white striped dress and it has these sleeves that she claims once made all the boys go wild. Oh and she's wearing Naturalizer shoes. She shouldn't be hard to miss, please look around!"

Dee's Emmy Coverage

As we all know, the Emmy's Red Carpet is usually home to the best dresses and the biggest fashion disasters. Lets go over the 2009 fashions and fashouts (you see what I did there?)

The Hot:

Leighton Meester in Bottega Veneta

January Jones in Atelier Versace

Chloe Sevigny in Izaac Mizrahi

The Extremely Far From Hot:

Sweetheart, I'm pretty sure the Hookers Have Class Convention is that way. Just turn around- No wait. No. I don't want to face what the back of that dress might look like. Okay, new plan: Walk backwards to the gate. Then, when you get there, turn around really quickly and run. Thanks, Hon.

I shudder. Why would Christina Applegate wear something that looks like it was stolen from Punjabi By Nature? Maybe it's to piss of the producers or whatever, because the show was canceled.

That 70's Show premiere? No. J-Lo Wannabe's Anonymous? No. The Red Carpet? Unfortunately.

Blake Lively, didn't your mother teach you to leave a little mystery? I mean, we can see your boobs. We can see your thighs. We can almost see your belly button. And we can see your back.
What's left?

Quote Of The Day

"There are alot of people who are stylish. They just don't have blogs." - S

Tale of Two Days

Wow. So instead of going over the fashion disasters of this week (because that would take too long), I am instead going over the fashion disasters of the past TWO DAYS. Ballsy, huh?

Looking at this, I am speechless. How dare she steal her Nana's quilt and make it into a dress! And who gave her the permission to kill Salem the Black Cat and use his skin as a trim!? Where is the shame?!

Miley, sweetheart... No :)
a) Only
Beyonce can pull this look off, and even for her it took me alot of self-convincing to decide that it's okay. (oh, and she's 30-something and not a Disney star)
b) You look like a hooker. Fishnet stockings? Really?
c) Tell your mommy I said hi, and that I think she should give Dina Lohan a call. She'll know what I mean :)

Lauren: "Audrina, comeon, when life gives you lemons, you wear them to a Nanette Lepore fashion show. It's the lesson of life"
Audrina: "Oh.. I thought you were supposed to throw them back and scream I WANT CHOCOLATE"
Lauren: "Um.. no, thats oranges."

No, it's not the Corpse Bride. It's not Minnie Mouse on crack either, before you ask. It's the bride of Chucky.
Oh crap, no wait, I was just informed that it's Lady Gaga. Damn, how could I have missed that one.

Drew BarrymoreLESS

Lord, talk about fashion hell-no's. I am yet to see a picture of Drew Barrymore this year looking slightly acceptable.

"Hello, Drew? Yeah, the 80's called. They want their crap back. Oh, and Smurfette wants her legs back. And, um, while I'm at it, this Emo kid called me up too, and she wants to let you know she's suing you for stealing her hairstyle. Kay, thanks."

Maybe if the dress wasn't yellow. And maybe if the tips of her hair weren't BLACK. And maybe if she didn't look so damn happy dressed in something that looks like.. well.. that.

This is another one of those cases where the mother (a.k.a the shopper) adopts a beautiful child (a.k.a the material thang) and abuses it and forces it to hang out with it's ugly step-siblings (a.k.a that shirt and that hair)

It doesn't look that bad, right? I mean, yeah, there are those damn tips again. And yes, she's wearing Avril Lavigne's skirt (and her bracelet). But aside from that, she looks great. Really. I mean it. :)

Umm.. What? Why? As if the dress weren't enough, she had to wear Justin's shirt underneath too!? And then a patterned scarf? AND THEN SHE WORE COMBAT BOOTS? WHAT KIND OF FRE- Hey! The tips aren't there!

Oliva Palermo

A month back, I was looking around in Zara trying to find a pair of heels suitable to give a friend for her birthday. A pair of gorgeous yellow strappy heels caught my eye and put an end to my frantic search, until I discovered they didn't have them in her size (or mine, for that matter). Glumly, I put the shoes down and continued to look around (I ended up buying a red snakeskin pair of heels, totally high, totally gorgeous) Anyway while browsing through the pictures of celebrities at fashion shows yesterday, I stumbled upon a picture of Olivia Palermo wearing the yellow shoes!
Aren't they hot? I totally wish I bought them now, despite the shoe-size-issue I faced.

Not Chic Of The Week

My favorite thing to do after a long week of fashion disasters is to gather them all up and look at them over and over again until, finally, they don't look to bad. I'm finding it very hard to do so with the following:




Pretty Reckless indeed. When I first saw this picture, I laughed to myself thinking "That Taylor is so clever. Wearing a horrendous outfit to look Pretty Reckless." However, after much consideration, I have come to the conclusion that she is NOT wearing this outfit ironically. In fact, studies have led me to believe that she might actually like this outfit.

RoboCop. This is the Rihanna installment. It's the part of the movie AFTER Rihanna gets beaten down by Chris Brown. This is the part after she wakes up in the hospital with nothing but the memory of his face as he beat her that night. This is the part after she wore that dress, the feathery shoes, the spikey bracelet (to stick in his throat, naturally) and the glasses that resemble a fly's eyes (for better vision, duh.) This, fellow readers, is the part when Rihanna starts her mission to hunt Chris down.
Before the paparazzi intervened and made her go to some event.
Dang, talk about an unexpected ending.
Another unexpected twist to the Robocop storyline, Vicwhoria Beckham stole Rihanna's boots.
And then she stole Janice Dickinson's dress.

Lindsay is looking at the camera like "You wanna be me, dontcha? :) "
Yes, actually, I do.
I wanna be you so I can call up a proper stylist who doesn't dress me like I'm Elton John's daughter/son-with-cheap-extensions
"Hello? Pussycat Dolls? Can I PLEASE replace Carmit Bashar? I've got the whole outfit and everything! From the sheer top down to the tacky shoes! All I'm missing is the red hair, but if you guys want me to, I'll dye it!"

Tell-A-Vision


What? TV Addict?
Who? Me?
Hell nah.

The One Thing Ring I Can't Live Without

Okay, so I bought this ring a while back from H&M, but I have not been able to pry it off my finger. I wear it all the time and with just about everything.


You wanna see?



It's big
It's weird
It's chic.
It's so me.

The Downfall of Taylor Momsen

Taylor Momsen, a teenager/actress/rockstar/"artist" is an unpredictable little minx. Over the period of two years she was able to go from the the innocent Hollywood newcomer :


To the starting-to-discover-cliched-fashion-trends-teenager :

To the rocker dude (shaggy 'do included, and emphasis on the "dude" part. Maybe it's the makeup. Maybe its the over-shadowed rapist eyes. Maybe it's the fact that ever since the rocker look was introduced, she just refused to smile and chose to glare like a 15 year old "mature" teenage girl that looks like a teenage boy with his/her hand in the cookie jar and no shame for it whatsoever) :

And finally her look of the moment is the "It's a hobo! It's some crack! No.. it's Courtney Love" look :
