here's my deal. recently i've been obsessed with fashion police. and it's entertaining as hell, but i'm confused about one aspect. why do they slam the celebs that sport horrid looks and not the designers? maybe the above case doesn't illustrate my look, but especially with red-carpet looks, why do the designers who made the horrible gowns not get blamed for the disaster?
here are some examples....


emily blunt/designer

lea michele/designer

i feel like some of these aren't really the celebs fault-i mean obviously the designer thought it was a good idea... :P

frustrations. but anyways, keep it classy kiddos.

lets discuss KE$HA. and my obsession with her....

Untitled by nwilke featuring chain sunglasses

so we're talkin lots of glitter, sequins, jewelry, black, teased hair, lacy tights, band tees and bomber jackets.

i just like how carefree she is about fashion--and how at the end of the day, she has a good time. her style is so eclectic and just a mishmash, that it works. with the right dose of confidence, that is.


however, don't try this at home. take maybe 3 aspects into your wardrobe at a time, because if dont wrong, it's reaaaally wrong. and just unfortunate.
*not recommended for DAY looks either.

why leopard print is rad.....natttt.

i'm going to divide this into 4 parts; a,b,c,d.
leopard print. it tends to have many different effects and possibilities. it can be awesome and sexiiii if done right, but entirely trashy if done wrong. here are 4 possibilities.

a. leopard print tends to be tacky. case studies:::


in these cases, leopard print was overwhelming and just plain ridiculous.








b. dont destroy the LBD with skanky leopard print heels. please?

i mean it's just tacky-ifying a perfectly cute dress. be classy ladies.







c. no wait, a HINT of leopard is cute. moderation, ladies, is key.



then again, gwen stefani could make a garbage bag look chic.




d. oh the Snuggie.

beware the snuggie.




so moral of the jungle survival story?
MODERATION. less is more.
personally, i believe leopard print is only for handcuffs and cheesy lingerie, but hey, i know everyone isn't quite so.....animalistic.

cougar style 101

Cougar Idle; Demi Moore.
She's hot, has ASHTON KUTCHER, and is super successful. and she has AHSTON KUTCHER. damn, girl.
Anyways, typical cougar style tends to be....a trainwreck. like... really? tends to involve lots of makeup, Botox, and Ed Hardy.


I posted this because of my own cougar involvement.

prom and a cupcake.

So this is my prom dress which I must either not eat for the next 3 weeks for, or just wear hardcore Spanx.












...I want a cupcake.

So here's the skinny...

We all know and love Emma's blog : Young and In Style. And I want to make a spin off, or its cousin :) It's a little more witty and sarcastic, and less intensely fahsion related. But still awesome in every aspect.


I say skinny as an intro into this first post.


WE MUST ALL BE SKINNY.


This is because I just went prom dress shopping-hate the cliche'd phrase- and I realized that I must not eat until AFTER prom in order to fulfill my dress. This then reminded me of anorexia and the big "models are too skinny" fad...
Let's love our bodies yall. Focus on being HEALTHY. and being confident.
I mean it's even infiltrated lovely establishments like Starbucks--"skinny latte".... Since when can steamed milk be skinny?

Anyways, Welcome to the cousin of YAIS.

xoxo,
nicole
