Faves from Jean Paul Gaultier Couture Spring 2012

2012-01-27T12:05:00.003-05:00

For those of you who do not know, this collection is a tribute to Amy Winehouse and oddly, her father is deeply disturbed by this collection. He stated, "We're proud of her influence on fashion but find black veils on models, smoking cigarettes with a barbershop quartet singing her music in bad taste. It portrays a view of Amy when she was not at her best and glamorises some of the more upsetting times in her life."
but ...that was her image. Her first single was "Rehab" and the second was "You Know I'm No Good." Is it tragic that her addiction and lifestyle took her to the grave, yes but it is also what made her famous. Her dark, soulful, bad girl image was a blessing and a curse. Beautiful collection.

My dear Ade sent me this picture...someone is claiming these are real

2012-01-26T12:03:00.014-05:00

*takes a deep breath*

These are not real. In any way, shape or form. Let's start with the Louboutin "Daffodil" pump. Obviously fake for one simple reason. Look at the side of this shoe. Where is that slender arch that is oh so apparent in the authentic version ::here:: ? Take a look at the more detailed images on the Louboutin site and shake your head with me. Also this is a $6,395 pair of pumps...why are you photographing them amongst $2 socks and a polyester blanket?

Now for the Louboutin "Noeud" pumps ::sigh:: The foot bed on this shoe makes me want to fucking cry and WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THE BACK OF THIS SHOE?! Look at that elastic. I cannot even breathe right now. Take a look at the authentic pair ::here::. Now look at both and try not to die of laughter. Look at the horror in the back, look at that horrendous platform, the ridiculous thickness of the heel, the horrifying way the strap is connected to the side of the shoe, omg.

Lastly...the box. Not only is the material of the box wrong but the writing is horribly incorrect, nice try. If you look at an authentic Louboutin box, then look at this. You will chuckle.

Whoever bought these most likely got a "2 for $199" deal in a back alley

It is so odd to me that some people find thrifting to be "disgusting" or in poor taste. I would much rather buy a used article of clothing for $2 that has stood the test of time rather than spending much of my hard earned money on pieces of tissue paper that rip the first time you wear it *cough cough, urban outfitters*

Why

2012-01-05T12:42:00.004-05:00

I am so aggravated. As some of you may know, I started working out/dieting on November 7th. Soon after my workouts I started to feel this intense pain in my hip which made me walk in an awkward manner -_- The pain started about 2 weeks ago. After speaking to several of my health conscious friends, the advice I received was to take a break from the gym for a week. So I did that last week (I stayed out of the gym, I only took walks) and started back up with an hour a day this week...lo and behold, the pain has returned even after I took a break! Maybe I broke something.

I shall not lust over sneakers...

2012-01-05T12:38:00.003-05:00

Oops. The gold ones are summoning me.

No joke...

2012-01-05T12:11:00.004-05:00

I think this is true love. There is a certain look that they both have on their faces whenever they glance at each other...I can sense the love and it reminds me of my own relationship.

Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer

This lip balm is now my absolute favorite. The light color, shimmer and minty feeling (due to peppermint) is the best. I have Vitiligo on my lips, so they are light pink naturally and wearing lipstick gets tiring after a while. This balm adds the perfect amount of color and moisture!

Give me your opinion.

2011-12-26T13:22:00.005-05:00

I have a bad habit of bottling every single thing that bothers me. Well, I would like opinions on something that I just went through. Last week I got a phone call from my younger cousin and she asked me if I knew (insert man's name). I automatically knew that my day just went to shit because I had a 1.5 year "situation" with the man in question. I was at work when this phone call occurred so I could not get into detail with my cousin about how I was involved in a sexual relationship with this man for 1.5 years so I told her that I knew him "VERY WELL" and told her to think hard about it. Anyone with an ounce of common sense would have understood what that meant. That being said, she then proceeded to tell me that she was "talking" to him. (To anyone who doesn't know what "talking" means, it pretty much means you are speaking to someone on a level that is more than friendship and a sexual relationship will most likely ensue depending on your morals.) I ended the phone call so I could collect my thoughts. I called him to let him know how disrespectful it was that he was pursuing a relationship with my cousin given our tumultuous history. He told me that he was not aware that she was my cousin until he saw me on her Facebook page the day after their first "date" (This man and I are not friends on Facebook or any other type of social networking site because of the level of pain I went through with him, I wanted and still want nothing to do with him.) A few days later he contacted me again and asked if we could speak without me being angry *rolls eyes* I agreed because I wanted to settle the situation. I ended up telling him that if he had any respect for me, that there would be no more contact between him and my cousin, IF HE HAD ANY RESPECT FOR ME. He then attempted to turn it around and ask me why I was putting this all on him. Then he told me that MY COUSIN said she DID NOT CARE if I had history with him *long pause* I then ended that conversation and went to bed because that statement blew my fucking mind. The next day I spoke to the man in this situation and he told me that my cousin was pissed off at the fact that I thought it was wrong for them to have a relationship and that I was not being fair...I am not being fair because I feel like my cousin and "ex-lover" should not have a relationship?! Anyways, I spoke to her and said "Do what you want, you are an adult (barely). Just know that if I was in YOUR shoes, I would have the respect to stop communication with this man." She said, "fine, let's drop it." I agreed to to let it go because I was under the assumption that both parties has respect and morals. Saturday night was Christmas dinner at this cousin's house and I decided to truly be the bigger person and go to have a good time with her along with family. I had a bad feeling about how the night would end up and my gut was correct. We had spent the night drinking together and having a good time. Then she made a drunk comment, "Your ex-lover took me shopping." and she got up and went to the bathroom. I sat on the bed stunned that she made that comment and I tried to rack my brain for a reason why that was said. ONCE AGAIN, I let it slide. I am ALWAYS letting shit slide with family members. THEN while I was sitting on the bed on the phone with my boyfriend, she decided to make a phone call and I realized...she had called my "ex-lover" and was talking dirty to him IN FRONT OF ME. *I'll let marinate* My COUSIN...called my "ex-lover" to talk about "her ass" and what not...IN MY PRESENCE. I looked at her and I said, "Are you really talking to him right now?" and since she was in a drunken state, she refused to answer, ran into the bathroom and locked the door. I grabbed my handbag and then tried to go outside. She tried to follow me, So I went back inside to grab my coat and just leave. She pushed me into her room, locked the door and sat down in front of the room to force me to talk to her. I told her that she was being disrespectful by calling him in front of me to talk dirty to him. I told her that was so fucking low and she kept asking me, "How was that being disrespectful?" IS ANYONE TRULY THAT MENTALLY CHALLENGED?! Then my mother got involved because we were yelling and people outside the room having dinner could hear. I told her that I need to go home and my mother told me that I was not going anywhere until the situation was fixed. As if it were my fault -_- My cousin then started crying and saying that she never thought I would get upset at her over a guy...um, what about the lack of fucking respect?! That is what the fuck I am upset about. The fact that I am ALWAYS expected to be the bigger person and let people do the FILTHIEST things to me, while I just sit there and smile. FUCK NO. A family member who gives a single fuck about another family member would NOT do something like that. I would NEVER EVER try to fuck someone that I knew had relations with a family member of mine. That is fucking disgusting. Is it not? I ended up leaving in a fit of rage and I do not plan on speaking to her ever again. If she can do that to me, then what else is she capable of? Am I being irrational? Please let me know.

My boyfriend got me a black and white diamond ring

Marc by Marc Jacobs Nifty Gifty Python Backpack

2011-12-17T22:51:00.002-05:00

The second I saw this I thought to myself, "I need this in my life but I will most likely have to work 20 hours of overtime to afford it," but then I saw the price! This Marc by Marc Jacobs backpack is only $280. Is that much for a backpack? Yes it is but I like it and it is Marc Jacobs. I'm a lablewhore, let me live.
