I like this girl's style


I like everything about this girl's look. The flowers in her hair. The platinum blond hair color. Her red lips and bold eye makeup, The colorful scarf. The cool biker chick jacket. The bright red shoes. The only thing I'm not sure would work for me is the dress with horizontal stripes. It's something that I wouldn't have thought of, but now I'm thinking that I might be interested in trying something like this if i were to see a skirt or dress like this on sale. The flowers in the hair reminds me a little of Frida Kahlo, who is one of my favorite artists.

House is one of my favorite TV shows


I like this picture from last week's TV guide. Are there any other House fans out there? Hugh Laurie is now my favorite actor on one of my favorite TV shows. I like him because he is smart, witty, good-looking and complicated. I particularly liked last season's final episode where he was involved in Amber's death. If you've never seen the show, it might take a while to understand the story and the characters at this point.

Real motorcycle boots






There have been a lot of motorcycle boots on the runways this season. I really like the look, but buying from a big fashion designer is definitely outside my budget. I'm thinking about getting some real motorcycle boots from somebody like Harley-Davidson, even though I have never riden a motorcycle. They are definitely more "authentic" and I would imagine that they are much more reasonably priced.

Obama comes to my hometown!













Last Friday Obama came to speak in my old home town of Chillicothe, Ohio. Although I could see him, he was too far away for me to get a good photo. I really like this picture of me and my dad.

Victoria's Secret has wide leg jeans



A couple of days ago I was searching the internet for some baggier jeans like I had seen recently in the news on celebrities like Katie Holmes and Victoria Beckham. Thanks to the Asian Cajuns (blog at www.asiancajuns.blogspot.com) for telling me to check with Victorias Secret. I don't usually shop at this store, but I might if I decide to buy some in the near future. I noticed that one of these was called the "70's jean." I was in high school during the 70's and maybe that's one reason I like this style. I am also fairly tall and broad shouldered, and this style usually suits my body shape.

Hel-looks.com blog features black leather jackets



It looks like a lot of people are wearing black leather jackets in Finland these days. Some of the people look so great, it makes me proud to say that I am part Finnish. Does anybody know where I can find these wide-leg pants in the US?
