Sour Lemon

PREP SCHOOL

This jacket is super cute and it's on sale. Which is a good thing seeing how everyone is broke. The blazer has ruffled detailing around the collar and along the right front. Would look hot paired with the yellow Marc by Marc Jacobs pom pom heels from a few posts back. Matchstick pants or a cute skirt and tights would be fitting.

Herringbone Fiona Jacket in Sour Lemon iis available at J.Crew. There are a few complimentary colors in available in the stretch shirts that would look nice, Fresh Guava or Eggplant are fresh. I love how J.crew tries to make thier stuff seem new by renaming colors like pink and dark purple. One of my favorties from the past was Strawberry Ice, really? You mean hot pink? The Sour Lemon jacket retails for $150.

2-0 NLCS lead for the Phillies

Last nights game was good. Shane Victorino's catch towards the end of the game sealed it. Their at it again in LA on sunday.

Manny is playing good though! He added to leading baseball with the most post season homeruns, of any other baseball player, evah.

Pledge Allegiance

I'm really glad that people are getting into the election. Quite honestly, I wasn't originally all about Obama. I supported Hillary because of her views on health care and education. When she was dropped, I was bummed, but I am happy to back Democratic candidate, Senator Barack Obama. It's hard for me to get into politics considering the past two presidential elections that left me devastated. However, it is important to register and keep yourself informed. Disappointments are a fact of life. Get used to em. It is our job as American citizens to make this country better no matter what party you claim. The world and a whole lot of our own citizens view America as a bunch of idiots. I don't, I love the US. All in all, this country is ours and we have to stick together in order to maintain global supremacy whatever your issue. One Love Y'all. Oh, and one rule I totally abide by, when drinking, never talk politics or religion, shit gets heated.

Thank You

Just when you thought fashion was the epitome of superficiality, this comes out, quote of the week comes from Sarah Mower and Albar Elbaz:

Can voluptuous fashion stay relevant in an age of austerity? Can gorgeous decoration coexist with the need for something plain and simple? Ask Alber Elbaz, a man whose recipe for reductionism and all-out gorgeousness squared the circle with a unique flourish. "Whatever's happening now," he said, "it's the end of fake. What's not real will go. What we have to do now is make life easier for women."

Thank You!

Quite honestly, you and I both know that the fashion world is superficial. Just ask Karl Lagerfeld:
“I’m mad for books,” he says, sitting motionless behind his black Dior shades. “It is a disease I won’t recover from. They are the tragedy of my life. I want to learn about everything. I want to know everything, but I’m not an intellectual, and I don’t like their company. I’m the most superficial man on Earth.”

Just sayin. Last week my mother told me I was in the wrong business.

Out of the Box

Style.com has the most user-friendly website when it comes down to fashion show coverage. It's excellent because the pictures are specific to your catagory of interest. I always begin with the beauty section, so that I can get a feel for where the collection is going, then the details, and finally the complete collection, which I do in a slideshow rotation. Galliano always uses Pat McGrath to construct the faces. She is the global creative director of Max Factor Cosmetics and an absolutely phenomenal artist, check the record. The creativity between the two of them pushes the limits of conventional beauty which offers a spectrum of opportunity for anyone to achieve a desired look no matter how 'out of the box' it may appear. The John Galliano collection was so much fun to go through. I decided to highlight these amazing shoes, they truly defy the standards for footwear, love it. As well as some makeup and hair. The rest of the commentary on the collection can be handled by the people that were there and the man himself with the video attached to the post. Apprécier!



Love how the lip gloss looks like it is dripping off of Jessica Stam's lips.

Lets Go RED SOX

Now you can exhale. Oi, was this last game close! I had text messages flyin over my way from my peoples in Massachusetts at the start of the game and right at the end. Ah, the powers of technology and the intensity of Sox fans, we tight! I'm sure a lot of my buddies are going to work with bloodshot eyes tomorrow morning and taking naps in thier cars in the afternoon. Mmmm Hmmm. Luckily, one of my girls from Boston is crashing on my couch so I had some more enthusiasm up in this place. Great plays on both sides but the boys from Boston pulled through. The ALCS starts on Friday night where the Sox will have a meeting with the Tampa Bay Rays. Woot woot.

Ok, Ok. The Phillies too, I show you love too, in my own way. Been to your stadium. Enjoyed it. Will watch your game on Thursday night and root for you. Even though you are playing the Dodgers and Derek Lowe is pitching. Lowe pitched for the Red Sox in their champion season against the Yankees and I was sad to see him go AND my dear dear Manny, my favorite baseball player, is now playing for the Dodgers as well. Should be a great game and I'm excited for that as well. Citizen's Bank Park! Let's go Philly!

Life is Beautiful

Seen today at the corner of Washington and South Broad on the way home from work. I rarely walk home and caught it from across the street while strolling along on the phone with my kid singing the ABC's. Kinda sweet right?

Envoyez la Mode

I guess this wouldn't be my blog unless reviewed John Galliano's Spring 2009 collection for Dior. A little back story on Galliano is that he is Spanish and studied at Central St. Martins in London. The incredibly talented fashion designer then moved to Paris after working for himself for a few years and making his name in England. Galliano followed up by lead designing for the French brand, Givenchy, he was succeded by Alexander Mcqueen when he to moved over to Dior. The iconic French brand that was started in 1945 by Christian Dior, who in his day proved himself a master of shape and silhouette. Dior is most known for revolutionizing the industry with 'The New Look.' John Galliano is considered 'the artist' in the fashion world. His collections are eagerly anticipated each and every season by fashion critics and fans alike because of his ambitious approach to the female figure.

Spring 2009 was suprisingly tame for Galliano. The makeup was muted but the hair had an eager texture. The ensembles were also a more understated approach to the figure, respectively. However, the structure of the bodice and attention to color were noticeable as well as appreciated. As always with Galliano it was a show, and as an avid fan, I was not disappointed.

My favorite color!, neon green/yellow

The show in Baltimore will be the last before they leave the states for awhile, so worth the trip! They are playing tonight and tomorrow night in Brooklyn at the Music Hall of Willamsburg, but both are sold out.
