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 :

What I Like About You

Okay, even though I am NOT a fan of Audrina, her style, her face, and her attitude, I am LOVING the look she put together (or rather her stylists put together) for the premiere of Sorority Row. Maybe if someone like Angelina Jolie wore it I'd be like "Meh, she could do better" but on Audrina it's just the upgrade of all upgrades.

You're all probably thinking "The look is okay." But it's not. So in order to prove how great this look is, I've put together some pictures of her past looks:

While most of us would like to believe this is what she wore to her "Pretty Woman 2- Bikers and Booze" audition, we must not deny the truth. This girl has zero sense of style.

Another look I quite enjoyed mocking was this one, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Whoretles look. The only reasonable explanation I can think of for the dress is that she probably wore it to sneak into whatever party she's at.

I have no comment for the above. Except I do believe it's another costume for the Bikers & Booze Story. (IF there is a Bikers & Booze story, I think she should get the part, she's obviously determined. Who's with me?)

"Ohmigod Lo, guess what! You'll never believe it but I was at this candy shop yesterday, and one of the wrappers caught my attention 'cause it was like.. shiny! And so when I asked the worker-dude about it, he told me he could make me a dress that looks exactly like the candy wrapper! Isn't that just like.. Wow? I'm wordless."

The shoes. The innocent shoes. Adopted into a home with an abusive mother who thinks she can be stylish AND a hobag at the same time! For shame.
