Dress Me Up in Pictures

Jimmy has already made me go see halloween decorations.

And since it is still August, and this is completely logical. I begin this Halloween season with things that Jimmy should dress as:

1. A goat herder

2. A goat

Tale of Eye Makeup Terror

Okay this is not really a scary story.

BUT, it is scary if you are me.

I’m currently not being allowed to wear eye makeup because of my weird dry skin. So I have only been allowed to wear mascara and blush pretty much. And as people know I have never not worn eye make-up outside since I was 15, and I find it terrifying.

And now I look like I’m 17 again… 

But I didn’t thankfully turn into Zac Efron.

This last weekend I was asked when I was going to college by a teen, and also asked out by the same teen. ICK ICK ICK. I told him, “I’m really old, and this is not right.”

So to look like I’m age to vote I’m trying to figure out if I can get fake eyelashes. Perhaps I may look like a gogo dancer, but at least I’ll look like a real grown up.

The End.

That was today’s story with Lauren!

Professional Emails

I got this in my email.

It’s so professional:

I must say I really like those red shoes.

It also makes me feel so terrified that I have worked so long with the Professional One that I may be a professional now too.

Pretty soon all my clothes will look like this:

Bring on the Power Suit.

You Can’t Stop the Dot

I am so always about things that look slightly retro/vintage.  

When I saw that polka dots were “in” this year I could have thrown a party!  

Which could look a lot like this:

I suggest that every one should have at least one polka dot item this year, it makes everything nice.  

I am a huge fan of polka dot dresses, because it brings quirky vintage fun to everything!  

This polka dot dress is great for everyday… and I think Christine needs this:  

  

This polka dot dress is from Jessica Simpson…. Yeah I know but the dress is cute. And I’m thinking if I run across it… this dress will be super mine:  

  

I also love this polka dot sailor outfit, it’s nautical and dottie:  

  

Here are some other Polka dot outfits that are really cute for the rest of spring and summer. All of which I would wear to work and on the weekends:  

  

But after seeing the dress on the right I’m so all about formal polka dots:  

  

I’m also crazy about bathing suits in polka dots.  

When I was looking at a mighty fine magazine that was telling me about the splendor that is polka dots it showed me bathing suits.  

I of course like this one but is it for sale. Come on, Ava Gardner some one should sell this swim suit:  

  

So I found some really cute ones from unique vintage in Burbank:  

  

 Also I found some super cute polka dot shoes which shout out to Isabel would look great with a lab coat!    

and these ones have polka holes:  

  And just for good measure I put in this video which shows Meghan Smith in a super cute dress:

   

 Dot it up,

It’s the time of the season… for sweater vests

Not only is it the time of the year for sweaters… but if you are one of the select lads who look really good in a sweater vest I suggest slapping one on.

If you need any sweater vest style advice I’d look to the following peeps:

Joseph Gordon Levitt can really wear a sweater vest, he is like the lord of sweater vests in (500) days of summer:

Mr. Schwartzman cand handle the implications of sweaters… without sleeves:

River’s Cuomo is like the definition of sweater vest:

Ellen Degeneres is looking pretty swift in her vest too!

Even Michael Jackson has sweater vested:

 

And also this bunny was made for a sweater vest:

And just in case you are still not sold on the sweater vest… have a gander of Johnny Depp in one:

So why don’t you give it a try:

So I suggest to all… wear a sweater vest especially if your arms are much warmer than your torso.

Glee: “Vitamin D” & Doe-Eyed Fashions

Episode 6 “Vitamin D” Fashion Recap!

This week after watching glee I felt a lot like this:

But, before I carry on about the happy drug faces seen through out this episode, let’s share Emma’s wicked fashion this week.

As usual Emma’s clothes don’t dissapoint!

Here she is removing mustard from Mr. Shue’s chin… check her green skirt!

She makes the best “celebrity judge” for the glee kids:

If you totally like the skirt like I do it’s Anna Sui at Antrhopologie… but their site says it’s no longer available.

On a positive and equally yellow note…

I think her fashion sense may be rubbing off on the girls:

Wouldn’t it be nice if they started a fashion club?

SPOILER! SPOILER!

This is a cute blue boatneck shirt, this is not exactly a spoiler…

BUT this is:

This not cute engagement ring is the spoiler!

OMG!

But now back to bow week!!!

Here’s Emma in her Dolphin Shirt and Coral skirt; it’s a great retro, yet bow filled number.

And just in case you had too much bow…

here she is in ruffles, and a coral skirt:

I love how she accents everything with yellow. I’m sure I’m not the only one.

Glee: the Fashion Club

It is incredibly obvious that I like “glee.”

Which has lured me with it’s “Bring it On” meets “Miss Guided” meets “Grease” plot…

Not just because the whole office is still singing “Single Ladies” or because I have been listening to Montell Jordan “This is How we do it” on repeat.

Nor is it because I want a button that says “gleek”

But because I cannot get enough of OCD(elicious) Emma Pillsbury played by the adorable Jayma Mays…

She’s the most adorable guidance counselor since… well, “Miss Guided’s” Ms. Perky… she is also in love with the Spanish teacher/Glee Coach Will.

hmm the parallels :)

But I digress

She really does.

And I adore her Mod-Preppy Chic-ness. It’s very “That Girl”.

She wears pretty much every color…

And she wears it well:

Green!

Purple!

Brown!

Yellow!

Her preppy adorable-ness makes her one of the hippest teachers at this Ohio High school. I could just imagine the immaculate closet of rainbow colors she must have! I wonder how many sweaters she owns????

and her lonely sweater is J-crew tastic…

I must also make this comment about her wicked cute accessories:

She may as well start her own Fashion Club… watch out Will:

But I know some people object to her cuteness due to her ulterior Will motives…So although she may have ♥’s for a married man most people can agree:

also…

Anyone want to go shopping for some cute clothes???

Lady Gaga’s Inspiration

You may see her shirtless and sometimes pantless action… but is Lady Gaga hiding something?

 

No I’m not talking about the people who says she’s a Mister Gaga… I’m talking about her fashion inspirations….

Is she hiding the fact that her “look” & fashion come from the hit cartoon Jem & the Holograms?

I think Lady G looks a lot like Jem/Jerrica…  you can note the similarities yourself….

Lady Gaga:

Jem:

Do you remember that Jem’s theme song promises you “Adventure… excitement… Glamour and glitter, Fashion and fame!” Doesn’t that sound like Lady Gaga’s game?

Jem thinks this is truly outrageous… 
If you are an 80’s child you remember the wild fashions that happened on this more than rad cartoon. The makeup, the hair, the uneccessary drama, the boyfriend who is in love with the same girl more than once. This sounds eerily identical to the happenings of Lady Gaga.

 But I really don’t mind….. because Lady Gaga is fabulous without holograms… and if there were a movie about Jem (that wasn’t Hanna Montana) I think Lady Gaga should star in it.

Ohhhhhhh the lovegame.

 

Have a truly Outrageous Day!
