Robin Thicke's “Blurred Lines” must have influenced the latest take on Burberry's classic raincoat for fall.
Sorry, but I just don't get it... it's all too blurred.
Looks like these young designers got
it.
Again:
“I just don't get it”.
Fall 2014 is a combination of:
Madonna
meets a bullfighter
Military
khaki strips down with zipped down Hawaiian botanicals
Jane
Goodall morphs with Frida Kahlo
How
about this “you've got to be kidding me” ensemble.
Layering a
jewel embellished winter satin cocktail dress over a summer polished
cotton...
“I made it out of vintage curtains” house dress. Even
the model looks confused.
For
now, summer's still here and it's still a “Fleurs Galore” time
of year.
I
painted these white jeans and shaped a flower necklace out of kids
clay.
This
kids clay saved my breakfast plate. I simply filled in the hole,
baked it for a few minutes and painted it with clear nail polish.
Talent not necessary and..... Sculpey comes in a bazillion colors.
OK
I give up...or nearly gave up RE: these legs.
Look closer... it's a
man's arm! This ad campaign is showing up everywhere.
“I just don't
get it”.
This fall...you'll
be seeing tassels on purses, shoes, jewelry... tassels will
be trimming every accessory imaginable . “Get thee to the fabric
store”!
Pick out a few feet of tassels and start updating: pant
hems, clutch bags, belts
...trim away like your closet is a Christmas
tree.
I'm
going to continue to resist these sandals... even when they hit the
sale racks in a few weeks. Maybe because they remind me of the
Mexican huaraches with the tire soles that I resisted years ago. They may
be “trending” but they won't be treading lightly on my little
pedicured feet: pass... no thanks... nada pour moi.
On
the other hand...or foot... Adidas slip-ons are trending for Fall and
have a soft spot in my heart. My sons bought this pair of “after
soccer” Adidas for me... 25+ years ago! Who-da -thought they'd be
in Vogue today.
The
best way to keep your champagne bubbling for a week.
Simply drop a
silver spoon into the bottle & let it dangle away. Cheers!
“Keep
a water bottle cool” ice cube trays have another cool use:
swizzle
sticks... just add a few lime slices!
I
might just purchase this perfume to go with my '60s... “couldn't
toss it out” blouse.
Bummer, I didn't see: "figure included" on the perfume bottle label.
Legos
are the “IT-Fashionista” toy... and in supermarkets: Lego-like
candy too!
From
Marc Jacobs doll like model's chemise to miss-matched stripes, as we
leave summer and head into fall, soft pink will have a soft spot
light in the boutiques.
There's
a 50/50 chance... if it's in the magazines... you'll find it in your
closet.
magazine my closet
magazine my closet
magazine my closet
Cashmere
sweater full of holes: check. Put it in the washer and dryer: check.
With my handy glue gun... make a travel pillow, a pair of house
slippers & a baby cap: check.
“When
yer a hammer... everything is a nail” . I make clip earring out of
coins, champagne tops, buttons... even “eat'em up fast” chocolate
disks from The Town and Country Club! If you usually wear pierced
earrings: “get thee to a hobby shop” and glue a few clips on
to... practically anything!
I
think they should be re-named: “flutterbys”... don't you?
They
are flying through every designer jewelry store in the country.
One
is real... mine are faux-bulous-n-fun.
Back
to the shoe department: If you'd like to trip-n-twirl into the night
in a pair of these “Bojangles expensive mirror ball” boots...
just glue a bag of inexpensive plastic rhinestones onto otherwise
tired pair of old boots.
Or
how about these trending rain boots that I scored at an outlet for
less than $50.00.
“OK rain: I'm ready for you now”.
I
leave this “blurred lines” posting with a clear message on an
electrical box...
spotted...just down the road a piece.
