My Least Favorite Look

Natalie Portman, you are beautiful.

You were absolutely amazing in Black Swan (even though I wish I would have known what I was getting myself into before seeing it). And, congratulations on your pregnancy. But was that pink sack at the golden globes completely necessary?

As soon as I saw this gown, I thought for sure everyone would hate it as much as I did. It made several worst dressed lists but to my complete and utter surprise, she also made some of the best dressed lists. This was probably my least favorite look of the entire evening; just because you’re pregnant doesn’t mean you have to look large and in charge. Before she announced in her acceptance speech that she was pregnant, I was actually having an argument with someone. My mother tried to tell me it was just an unflattering cut, but you know what? She had a point. I also found the rose seriously ugly and tacky (although I did appreciate the stunning red lip that matched it). But that’s fashion folks, some love certain looks, others can’t stand them.

Dragging My Heels

Lately, I've been noticing many feet predicaments that I wanted to pass along.

It appears Tivas are making a comeback?

Ah yes. If the camo shorts were enough he needs two different colored and length socks to complete the ensamble

Apparently, wearing shoes to class is vastly overrated (spotted more than once).

Fashion Don't: Ugly Shoes to work

The slogan for this shoe line is: "Warning Women, No man will ever satisfy you like this again (below the ankles)." I'm intrigued...

It seems Kenneth Cole was also annoyed with women rocking sneakers on their way to work. While it started with just a few shoes a little under a year ago, Cole is now incorporating his "925" (nine to five work day) technology into all of his shoes so we don't have to switch shoes or suffer in the name of fashion.

The shoes' technology combines several different elements: Lining, flaxseed pillow, foam layers, cellulose layer, cork layer, soft rubber sole, a heel cradle... all to add a little comfort to our feet. And best yet? The shoes are still fabulous and beautiful. I haven't tested them out yet but am totally anxious to do so.

Fashion Don’t: Look Silly While Flying... The Immense Importance of “High Flying" Style

When you glimpse through old photos it seems flying used to be a big deal. People put on their Sunday best to hop aboard the jet. Sure, flying is no longer restricted to the wealthy and glamour has certainly dropped, but how did flying attire plummet from utter chic to juicy valor sweat suits and UGGS?

While preparing for travel, I think comfy chic. You really never know who you’ll spot in the airport and I for one, will not be donning UGGS in front of a chance run in with my dream boss, celebrity crush, or influential person x y or z. And besides, when you look good, the kind gentleman in the row behind you will be that much more inclined to squeeze your overstuffed suitcase into the overhead bin for you.

Here, Will looks great! See it's not very hard.

Needless to say, we all are used to spotting extremely unfortunate outfits in the airport. But I was subjected to a new low a few days ago when returning home from Europe. While he didn’t look like a slob, per say, his outfit choice was really quite awful and frankly I would have rather seen him in valor suit rocking MUGGS (Man Uggs).

He selected a white short sleeve button down (it’s coming) and chose to only button the bottom button… exposing his rather large belly and natural “sweater.” Ah yes, his fat and chest hair was exposed and sitting next to me for 11 long hours. I know Europeans are rather open with their style (usually I applaud this) but this was just overwhelming. We’re not on a beach! We’re on a freezing international flight… It really baffles me how he wasn’t the least bit chilly. I suppose fashion is pain.

Of course I snapped some photos:

To make matters worse he will be meeting his girlfriend’s parents immediately upon our arrival and that was his outfit selection. Wonderful impression, I’m sure.

I am thinking I’ll make it my life mission to bring style back to flying. I will stop at nothing. Grass root movements, demonstrations, advertising campaigns—the works.
