this post is not about fashion

just a few words.

texting. in church. REALLY?

it saddens me to know that the world has lost pretty much all respect for anything.

picture found here.

another pic that i am just digging.
this is from my close, personal friend scott schuman over at the sartorialist. just kidding about the friend thing. but i DID meet him in nyc in sept and he's quite cute and nice! oh and my sister got him to autograph a copy of his book for me - sweet!

timeless? classic?

i would like to clear up something. i think people get confused when someone refers to a certain piece of clothing as being "timeless" or "a classic". yes, there are certain items that are timeless or classic but, it's more that the IDEA of them is timeless/classic-not the actual piece itself. for instance: a white, button down, collared shirt. a classic, no doubt. BUT, if you think that the white, button down, collared shirt that you bought from casual corner back in 1985 is going to fit well and look good on you today, you're crazy. hem lengths, overall fits, etc have changed over the years. another example is a denim jacket. always a good thing to have in your closet but, not if it's big, boxy, and acid wash from 1980. today's fit is more cropped, fitted, and a darker wash. even just the simple black pant..today's versions will fit much differently from those made back in 1995.

which came first?

i noticed today that the ashley stewart store (plus size clothing) and weight watchers are located right beside each other in a local strip mall. hmmmm....wonder if they help or hinder each others' business?

just a random thought.

more ri-ri love

got this one from coco perez.

rihanna love

i love rihanna...her music, her style, and especially her hair! (i take a picture of her to my hair dresser each time i go in and she reminds me that i'm a white girl..) anywho, saw this pic today and i think it's GORGEOUS! all the chanel baubles, the turquoise skirt, the red lips. LOVE it.

christmas

i know, i know - it's only october and christmas ads are starting WAY too early. BUT, i just found out that i get to go to NYC for a few nights in december and the best part is, i get to take my 4 year old with me! he's heard me talk about nyc since he was born and i've told him all of the things we'll do when we get there. we might have to alter some of my plans b/c it's going to be C-O-L-D but one thing we are definitely doing is going to the christmas spectacular at radio city music hall and i'm super excited!
