beyonce’s red carpet uniform

one problem i have with beyonce is that she is not creative when it comes to red carpet attire. celebrities of her status get clothes for free. she goes to multiple red carpet events a year. why not try something new?? she has a great figure yet she wears a trumpet dress every time, and it’s boring.

it is common to find a style that works for you and stick with it. (i finally found jeans that work for me and no longer look at other brands!) but, many people, myself included, look to celebrities for fashion ideas and for a pulse on what’s trendy and if it works. beyonce fails to inspire.

it’s like a bad halloween costume thrown together 30 minutes before leaving the house

anything off the rack at target, marshalls, forever21… anywhere! would have been better than this
maybe her dad isnt paying for a stylist

at least she looks happy…

ashanti –  when is highlighting your knees ever sexy?

travis barker – isnt a grammy the highest award for a musician but you couldnt wear sleeves?

mary j. blige – HOT! love the color

lady gaga – her creativity is infinite. i think she looks amazing. love the hair

adam lambert – this heavy makeup thing isnt going away…

taylor swift – beautiful gown, but she doesnt have the chest or hips to pull it off.

i have a lot to say about beyonce, but that will be another day :-P

unveiled this morning in san francisco. it’s pretty and sleek like all apple products. from the iphone, palm pre, droid, and google phones we are definitely moving toward touch screens for everything. apple just decided to speed up the timeline. steve jobs said there is a need for a product in between a smart phone and a laptop. is there? i’m not sure i agree.

the screen is a little less than 10 inches. it would be like just using the screen portion of most netbooks. i like my netbook and am not ready to give up a physical keyboard just yet. but, it is pretty…

Guest Post: Rain Boots Go Away

It’s rainy season, which means an inordinate number of hideous rain boots have crossed my path. If you have eyes, you have noticed that a lot of liberties are taken with rain boots than with other kinds of boots. For instance, this pattern would be silly on any other kind of boot:

target

On these, I don’t hate it. It’s simple and cheerful and doesn’t annoy me.

But then (cue ominous organ music, please) there are these:

shopbop

Tell me, People Who Wear Weird Patterned Boots, is it because you just want something different/weirder/more cheerful/just ridiculous when it’s raining? Or perhaps, Wearers of Huge, Chunky Rubber Boots, you think nothing better exists?

If you want to wear ugly shoes it is your right to do so. If you want wear rain boots that don’t scream Juvenile! or Pretending I Don’t Give a Damn! or I Am Not Having A Mid-Life Crisis!, here are a few to consider:

1. The London Fog Wales are only $99 and come in cement (my personal pick) and black. I know from experience they are comfy, lined in something warm and fuzzy, and can be worn indoors as well as out.

2. The Kate Spade Randi is a cute- and cheerful- heeled option.

3. And then there is the Hunter Original: classic, sturdy, available in a ton of colors. These look sleeker than a lot of other rain boots and in solid colors instead of a pattern, they are extremely versatile.

zappos

Now that you know you have options, do every one a favor and get rid of the Barbie-print/graffiti/overpriced & revolting Pucci print boots. Please help stop the madness one ugly rain boot at a time.
