How To Tigh Roll Jeans



I'm back! And, I come with a lesson that I learned the hard way (not really, just wanted to say that) about how to make your own boyfriend jeans!

If you want to use super skinny jeans (I suggest this for somebody more full, because baggy jeans that are tight at the ankle tend to make your legs look heavier and shorter)

1- Roll them up as much as you'd like! It's an All-You-Can-Roll-Rollet!

If you want to use regular or baggy jeans (this should be attempted by slim (or slim-ish) women)

1- Pinch the hem of your jean tight around your ankle (but not too tight if you want them to be cropped)

2- With your other hand, take the extra material and fold it so that it lies flat, wrapping it around your ankle.

3- Roll the hem up as much as you'd like. I would suggest 3 rolls minimum.

You're Welcome
!

This Is Fabulous

Sienna Miller, you are so glamorous that I don't know whether I should thank you, hate you, or be completely envious of you. So, I've decided to save my hatred for someone (or something) that actually deserves it (coughlegwarmerscough). And I'm keeping my envy for people who have the ability to Just Say No (to chocolate, that is). My thankfulness is aimed at you Sienna.
Thanks, S (I feel I can call you that now, because I don't hate you and all. Also, because I don't want to type out your full name again) for being nothing short of glamorous everywhere you go. I appreciate your efforts, and even though I don't always agree with your fashion choices, I still like that you always try to look good and not just different. Consider yourself my style icon (until someone better comes along, of course).

So glamorous.
I want to steal the coat and run.

If I saw this dress on a rack, I would never buy it. But looking at her, it looks so good.

I love how this outfit is so simple, yet so detailed with accessories.

Once again, simple but fab.

How adorable and neat is this outfit? *sigh*
Remind me to go shopping soon.

Kitten Heels: Back In?

Well, It seems the kitten heel is coming back. Don't use this against me in the future when I become totally in love with them because I saw Beyonce rocking them or something, but I totally hate them right now. They're just so unflattering! I mean, sure, they were perfect for me when I was 12 and dying to wear heels but too young to pull them off, but I highly doubt 12 year olds will be the only ones walking around in kitten heels. Damn you, Michelle Obama! It is your incapability of wearing anything but kitten heels that has brought them back on the runway!
Being the joyful optimist that I am, however, I went through a number of kitten heels online and decided on which ones were the least ugly so that you guys can be the first to rock this returning trend before anyone else does (I know, I know, I shouldn't have)

Take a look:





Cole Haan (this one is my favorite)

Enjoy, fellow fashionistas!

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.

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?

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.
