"I'm a real big fan of yours, but I'm quite the joke to you..."

Your Biggest Fan :: Never shout never
Five words. Jason Wu Fall 2010 RTW. (Okay, so technically eight, but who's counting?). In the words of Rachel Zoe, "I DIE". I swear I'm going to die from the overall awesomeness/gorgeousness of this collection. So, usually I would never ever wear anything straight off the runway. I mean, everything is way too over the top and short, and what whatnot. But, seriously, like paramore says "Darling you are, the only exception." I would so wear almost every single piece straight off that runway. You know, that is if I were a size -4. I'm obsessed. Too bad I can't buy any of this,  I mean, I don't even want to think about the price. BOO. The collection had two sides. There were the more masculine pieces. Blazers, collared shirts, slacks etc. And then, there were the more, girly pieces. Light, feathery, pink, white, you know what I'm talking about, right? Oh, right! There were some in between pieces as well. Skirts in darker collars, etc. Gah, I think I'm going to die. It was so beautiful. I can't even describe the beauty, so I'm just going to put in some pictures now.




The two girlier pieces are at the bottom, and the more masculine pieces are at the top. My personal fave is that feather skirt with the mustard yellow cardigan. I would wear that in a snap. Actually, I would wear all of them. I swear, you wouldn't even have to ask. Maybe for my birthday. Please, pretty please? Haha, umm, I'm thinking that's a no. I'm going to stop before I drool over the amazingness that is this collection. You can look at all the Fall 2010 RTW stuff over at elle.com
On a side note: Holy Canolies! It's the winter olympics! AHHHHHHHH!

"Only the good die young..."

-Only the good die young :: Def Leppard

When my friend told me I seriously hyperventilated. He's dead. At only 40. I cannot believe this. What has happened to the world? First Christian Lacroix closes and now Alexander McQueen dies. This is a tragedy. Okay, I admit, I hated his recent line, but that doesn't mean it wasn't original. I mean, he obviously designed whatever he thought was his style, and that deserves props. What are we going to do without him? This is horrible, absolutely horrible.

Houston, we have a problem

Dear Mr. McQueen,
Your latest RTW line was a disaster in heels. Please allow it to go back to whatever watery cave it came from and die.
Thanks,
Natalie



Really. did anyone see it? It was supposed to be underwater theme. Actually, it was just bizarre. I mean, the shoes were totally un-wearable and the outfits. He made a crystalled ballet/jumpsuit/?. It's on the side. Decide for yourselves what it is and comment down below. Umm, his line just left me confused and ready to gag. You definitely know you have a problem if Lady Gaga starts wearing your stuff. Did anyone listen to bad romance? She wore that thing! yes that weird sparkle jumpsuit ugliness. And, some of his totally unwearable shoes. SCARY SHOES. They defy gravity and logic. How do you even walk in those? I was thoroughly disappointed by his line. I know his whole thing is avant-garde, but this crosses the line. Only Lady Gaga would wear this. And when that happens, boy have you got some problems.

(on a side note. You know what spring RTW 2010 line I loved? You guessed it. Chanel. except for the clogs. euwwwwwww)

"And when the world treats you way too fairly, It's a shame I'm a dream..."

All I wanted :: Paramore

Brand New Eyes (Paramore's new album. duh) is totally obsession worthy. It's great. But, you know what's really great? These genius little footzyrolls things. Plus, they are so cute! And only $25.  They're little flats that roll up so you can stick them into your clutch, tote, bag, whatever. I mean, have you ever tried walking in heels for more than an hour? That horrible burning sensation in the balls of your feet? Yup, that's what these are for. They totally solve that little problem. Just stick them into your bag, and poof! All foot problems officially solved. Now, I don't really like the current colors that much, but the patent ones will be totally cute, I'm positive. Much better than carrying around a regular pair of flats.

"I've never made a bet, but we gamble in desire..."

Jasey Rae :: All Time Low


Oxfords. Yup, I'm obsessed with oxfords. I mean, this season is so menswear inspired, so why not wear a pair of girly oxfords? I love the steve madden ones in cognac.  Plus, they're not too expensive! In actuality,  my favorites are the louboutin fred flat in glittery silver. Everyone needs a little jazz in their life, right? Don't even say they're old man shoes. I don't see old men wearing glittery shoes do you? They'd look great with a boyfriend blazer and a floral dress. Or, some menswear shorts over tights. It doesn't really matter though. Insert large sigh here. These go for about $700 I believe. The steve madden ones will have to do. Although, those are not exactly cheap either. ($70) But they are $630  less. So, in fact they seem pretty attainable.

It's the vanity cam!



So, I know this isn't fashion related but it's just too uberly awesome to pass up. Samsung just came out with a new camera (pre-order. duh), the TL225. Which, totally solves all future self-portrait conundrums! It has two screens, one on the back, and one on the front so you can make sure your in the picture. No more asking potentially strange strangers to hold your camera! (what if they take it! the horror!) It is a tad pricey, it goes for around $350 for the TL225, and $300 for the TL220. Of course, you could always get it from amazon and save around $50 for the TL225. I'm pretty sure this is the raddest point and shoot I have ever seen. Maybe except for the nikon coolpix, but anyways. Hmm, would you rather have that new pair of marc jacobs flats or the vanity cam?

"If it's a million to one shot, I'll make sure I'm the one..."

Before I fall to pieces :: Razorlight


I'm pretty sure I'm obsessed. No surprise there, right? Ah, but what am I obsessed with? Well currently, it's the 5preview amor cavour shirt (pictured left). And, it is so obsession worthy. It looks slightly chanel, slightly graphic tee, and totally cool. Jeans and urbanoutfitters keds? Ta-da! gorgeous outfit. I'm not obsessing at all. Nope, not at all. I was thinking, Wow! this could be the one obsession worthy item I could actually afford! How fantastic would that be? Alas, it was not meant to be. The only place I could find 5preview tees were on their website (5preview.blogspot.com) and they went for around 68 euros. Wait, WHAT? Yup, 68 euros. Of course, the one I want is on sale. It's practically free at 58 euros. NOT. Plus shipping it's 63 euros. (side note: Is anyone else annoyed by the cost of shipping? You could practically buy another item with the amount of money it costs to ship things. The HORROR!) That translates into somewhere around $94. That is so happening. Anyways,  I love that tee, and practically all 5preview tees, I mean come on. Look at that gorgeousness! Every time I look at that shirt I sigh. SIGH SIGH SIGH SIGH SIGH SIGH SIGH. Maybe it'll be a christmas present. A girl can dream can't she?
