Balmain's Spring Collection is Rock Chick's dream

I have loved the rock chick look for years, and tend to wear this style a lot. I love Balmain's latest colection because it looks like my style, but I'm inspired to add some new touches. I absolutely love the rhinestone sandals. If they are not available in my price range, I might try to make something similar!

Project Runway: Kurto wins, Suede offed

Last night was a fun competition on Project Runway. The designers were each assigned to design an outfit for one of the other designers that was inspired by a music genre. The winning designer was Kurto, who designed the punk rock outfit modeled by Suede. Suede was eliminated because his design for Jerell was not considered to be very creative or exciting. I thought Kenley should have been eliminated. She designed an outfit for Leeann that was supposed to be hip hop, but it didn't look at all hip hop, and the pants were poorly fitted. I am somewhat sorry to see Suede go. I always thought he had such a pleasant personality.

Gucci has beautiful pantsuits for "real women"

I love a lot of clothes that I'm seeing on the runway for spring, but there are not that many that I would actually wear. I love these outfits partly because I could imagine myself wearing them, or possibly something similar but less expensive. I love the bright colored jeans and matching jackets with the fedora. The ankle strap sandals are beautiful with the rest of the outfit.

Diane Von Furstenburg has beautiful colors and prints for Spring

Looking at Diane Von Furstenburg's spring collection makes me want to have a fancy garden tea party, with white gloves. The colors and flowery prints are beautiful and the headpieces remind me of something that a pretty summer bride might wear. Almost makes me wish I was getting married (again!)

Andy Warhol at Wexner Center: Drag Day

Here's an event that sounds wild and crazy: I love it! Wouldn't it be fun to dress up and take pictures?
Warhol First SundaysDrag Day
Sun, Oct 5, 2008 1:00 - 5:00PM
Wexner Center Galleries
We’re rolling out the red carpet on the first Sunday of every month, with free admission to Andy Warhol: Other Voices, Other Rooms for everyone plus hands-on workshops and other special events and activities to help you explore the wide world of Warhol. Activities are free and designed for visitors in their teens and up.Our first Warhol Free Sunday focuses on ideas about identity and the art of drag—both of which have strong connections to Warhol’s work. You can investigate those connections on interactive tours, catch a poetry reading by Peter Oresick from his Warhol-o-rama (a poem-by-poem serial portrait of the serial portrait pioneer) at 1 PM, and a drag show featuring a special performance by Nina West, 2008 National Entertainer of the Year, Virginia West, Alexis Stevens, Maria Garrison and the Rev from the Royal Renegades. You can also try drag yourself: we’ll have make-up, wigs, and outfits to try on, or you can bring your own.Gallery admission is free all day, 11 AM—6 PM, and Cam’s on Campus will be open from 11 AM to 4 PM featuring a special brunch menu.

What's with the Mary Poppins hats?

O.K... I admit I like some pretty eccentric stuff, but I'm not sure about these Mary Poppins hats, seen first at Marc Jacobs and now at Moschino Cheap and Chic. I just can't imagine myself wearing this style of hat. Also, they seem to be sitting in a not-so-secure position on the head, like you might need a lot of pins to keep them at the proper angle. I don't think you'll see me sporting this trend in the spring.

Punk rock Nails

I love to try different nail colors and decorations. Getting my nails done is always a nice relaxing activity and I really enjoy looking at them. I also get lots of compliments on my nails which also makes me feel good. These were created at the salon by painting the nails black and then airbrushing on the design in white.
