good/bad.

so there's this blog i read called gofugyourself.com. i'm sure you've heard of it. anyways, it's quite entertaining and most of the time i'm completely horrified by the outfits that some celebrities are willingly wearing in public. with all that money and so lost...to think of all the wonderful, well put together outfits out there being rudely ignored. while catching up on the blog tonight i came across two pictures that made me take a second look. one in a good way and one in a bad way. i always take the bad news first so here it comes. people, prepare...

i mean, really?? what was her stylist thinking?? no better yet, what were her parents thinking? yeah billy ray i'm talking to you. you think just because you daughter's show is on the disney channel and she sings "inspirational" and "patriotic" themed songs she's allowed to prance around in public in a skin tight hooker skirt, 4 inch heels, and a sheer tank top? i just feel so sorry for her because this picture is obviously the foreshadowing of the public meltdown and subsequent disowning of her family that is sure to come. i just don't get it. when did this become socially acceptable? if i ever have kids i'm keeping them locked in their rooms or maybe i'll put hidden cameras in their rooms. oh you know i'm kidding. but no really this shit is out of control. disney channel needs to check themselves. and oh yeah if the jonas brothers think they are fooling anyone with that purity ring crap they can think again. wow, i just mentioned the jonas brothers in my blog. i'm ashamed. but atleast i got that off my chest.

so anyways on to the good stuff. i must say that i had my six month period in high school where i thought the ashlee simpson CD was kinda good. i still have some of her stuff on my computer and every once in awhile i listen to a song or two. don't judge me. anyways, between her horrible career, her family, and everything else in between the girl simply gets on my nerves. and most of the time when i see a picture of her i think to myself "ew". plus she married that guy who is in that really horrible band...see the list goes on. but she pleasantly surprised me here. if i had a body like that i would sport this entire outfit. i love the colors, her makeup, the shoes, everything. it's very sluty chanel which i like...so well done ashlee...but just this once.

i'm going on vacation with my sweetheart in a few weeks. i seriously can't wait. i find myself daydreaming about the beach, huge fruity drinks, the red bar, general relaxation, and cute romantic moments that i simply just can't wait for. in preparation for this trip i've been searching for a new swimsuit. they are SO expensive. i could buy a new dress (that's not on sale) or i could get 1/2 of a swimsuit. it is just so crazy to me that anyone could charge $80.00 for what is essentially a pair of glorified panties that you are allowed to wear in public. i might just skip buying a new suit this year because of the crazy prices....but here are a few things that i wish i could take with me! i might spring for the $10 sunglasses (Channeling Chanel Sunglasses - super fake and super cheap!)...but otherwise i'll probably save most of my hard earned cash for fun while we are there.

(i've posted this on my blog before, but i want this that bad and i won't stop wanting until it's mine!)

i have been super busy with work and life in general that i really have neglected my blog. here's a few things that i want really bad right now. i'm going to wear some thing super fierce out tonight so i'll post that tomorrow! also, i haven't been shopping in about one hundred years so i need to focus on making that happen.

chanel.

so when it comes to expensive clothing it would be really hard for me to tell you my favorite brand/designer, but if you had a gun to my head i'd probably say Chanel. a few years ago i tore a Chanel dress out of the pages of W magazine. I put it on my bulletin board and starred at it lovingly for about a year and half. then i had to move and the picture disappeared. i was heart broken. and you think i'm just saying that? no i literally tore my new apartment apart looking for the picture. i could remember it, sure, but i wanted that picture back. so, for the past couple of years i've been searching for this dress...online, in archives of magazines, etc. i'm not sure how i made it so hard for myself because today that dress popped into my head again and i went searching. I found it on style.com within about 10 minutes. the dress is from the spring 2006 ready-to-wear line. 

i feel more whole now that i've been reunited with this beautiful masterpiece. i'd pay thousands of dollars just to be in the same room with this dress. but i'll keep the picture safe here so that if i ever get married or do something else that calls for spending thousands of dollars on a dress, i'll have this recreated. i might have to get married in a parking lot somewhere, but at least i'd have an exquisite dress on! wow, my priorities are obviously skewed, but hey i'm in love with this dress, and can you blame me?  

clear.

I found this in the fashion section of thecoolhunter.com. I'm not sure which season this is from, but i love it. oh Chanel...you can always make me happy!
