Equal and opposite forces

This weekend I'll be spending most of my time putting together outfits for my upcoming debutante events. I've had this BB Dakota skirt for a few months and its one of my favorite things in my closet! Its beautiful sheer black lace over a black cotton lining with the lace poking below the lining's hem. I need a nice top to dress this up for a debutante event. I cruised by Net-a-porter. com and glimpsed this beautiful Zac Posen top. To DIE for, but obviously painfully out of my price range....speaking of, I need a new job. Unemployment blows, but work might blow more.

teen vogue

Lately, Teen Vogue has been really disappointing. It had all been done before and their articles sucked: their so-called recessionista tips involved borrowing your mom's vintage chanel, the editorials were uninspired, and worst of all their issues were shrinking. This month's issue definitely renewed my faith in the glossy. I LOVED the grunge spread though its really nothing new, the pictures were stunning and the styling was a fresh spin on teen vogue's typical grunge look. The articles were excellent and worth reading even though this issue was skinnier than ever. I guess Teen Vogue has been tightening its belt during these hard times...and stopped writing ridiculous articles that assume all of its readers have storage units filled with vintage designer bags.

Pullin an all nighter

You know those days when you realllly dont have time to wash your hair. Hop in the shower with a cap on because you have 5 minutes to get to class/work and its like 20 degrees outside which guarantees your head to be an icy mass as soon as you step out the door with dripping wet hair. So you go without and you end up looking as greasy as Rob Pat before a day of filming. SOLUTION! Powder that soaks up the grease! But another problem arises. If your hair is anything but corn silk blond, sprinkling on a pinch of white talcum powder will probably make matters worse, transforming your greasy hair into  a dry yet strange grayish color. SOLUTION PT 2! All Nighter Hair Powder for sale at UrbanOutfitters. I can't wait to try mine out! Bumble and Bumble has a product very similar but less reasonably priced and looks to be less portable..plus we dont have a bumble and bumble in my town.

Olsenboye

MkA announced that they will have a new junior's line at JC Penny. On November 6th the line will be made available but for now it's on sale at select boutiques around the country. The line is called Olsenboye because that is the traditional Swedish spelling of their last name.  I saw their promotional video and honestly the clothing looks disappointing. Its like printed hoodies and shirts you could buy at urban. I'm probably going to get one of the Olsenboye logo shirts but that's it.  I also glimpsed some shots of them promoting the line in new york and GOD did it look creepy. As a devoted Olsen fan, all of this is rather distressing.

Stamp of disapproval

Im pretty sure this is what Miley Cyrus wore in her latest music video. No part of this outfit is ok.

Green with envy...and other cheesy titles.

Soo, have you been eyeballing that jade green nail polish from the Channel Fall collection? Ive got newsss! O.P.I has a slightly more green alternative called "Gargantuan Green Grape." Get excited! Its the perfect addition to any dreary fall wardrobe.

furreal

Fur is big. if you havent already noticed this than god help you. Here are some of my favorite furry looks. Michael Kors goes neon, Kate Spade has an adorable faux mink cape/jacket with a bow around the neck. Isabel Marant has my favorite fur look this season. Everything that woman touches is gold. The booties, the vest, the belt. It just works.
