Suffering for fashion?

Even though the weather is starting to hit 40’s and below, people are still fashion conscious. When I was in the city a few days ago freezing from the unexpected cold weather, I couldn’t help but noticing the shoes that most of the women were wearing. I was shivering in Uggs while most of the others around me were wearing ballet flats. The strange thing is, is that they seemed perfectly fine with the weather as if it were still 80 degrees outside. Is it really worth it, to suffer for fashion and then put on a front like your fine, when everyone around you is not fine wearing socks and boots?
Some alternatives to wearing thin flats are the newest trend; loafers. I think they are just as cute just more warm and practical. If you are willing to spend top dollar, you should buy my all-time favorite: Louis Vuitton loafers. Not only are they very practical and look good with anything ,but they are warm and you don’t look stupid wearing them in this weather , since its not getting any warmer anytime soon. Another alternative which is more affordable and still very warm and cute are the ones made by Ugg.

You can find the Louis Vuitton flats on eluxury.com & the Uggs can be found on their website : uggaustralia.com

Keeping up with the Kardashians

Keeping up with the Kardashians , a new show on E recently premiered about the life of socialite Kim Kardashian and her crazy family. She is famous for being the daughter of the famous lawyer, Robert Kardashian who defended OJ Simpson during his famous trial. Her stepfather is Olympic medalist, Bruce Jenner and her mother was a former model. The show also follows Kim’s 4 sisters and stepbrother. The mother could barely be considered a mother and more a friend, usually gossiping and keeping a secret from her daughter that her daughter’s boyfriend was cheating on her. Kim had a pretty interesting life, going to an all girls high school and getting married at only 19 yrs old. Then she also got divorced 2 years later and even though she doesn’t have a "real" job she is a self proclaimed entrepreneur.
One time she saw a pair of Manolo Blanhik boots on the runway and instead of buying one pair she bought 10. She bought them for $2,000 a piece and sold 9 pairs for $10,000 each. Just like any other semi-famous socialite she plans to write a book documenting her fabulous life and starting a clothing line. During the first episode, the family threw a party for the parents anniversary. In that episode one of the little girls danced on a stripper pole and the other served alcoholic drinks. It always seems too crazy and that the family is acting and not being real. Either way it’s entertaining, look out for the show every wed night at 10:30 p.m.

An Alcohol Monitoring bracelt is the newest accessory

The most unexpected fashion accessory spotted in Karl Langerfeld's Chanel runway show , was the alcohol monitoring bracelt. Yeah i know , an alcohol monitoring bracelt a fashion must-have? Celebrities are considered to be trendsetters but when Lindsay Lohan has to wear one because of a DUI doesnt mean that the average person should go out drinking and driving in order to get one of these so called "accessories. " Maybe im blowing it all out of proportion , but i would think wearing one is more of an embarrasment then something to walk down the runway with. Maybe Karl Langerfield has been reading way too many issues of OK mag for his own good. I do think for his own good , this should not only have been the first time he features that in his shows , but it should also be the last.

Chick by Nicky Hilton

Nicky Hilton kicked off fashion week by unveiling her new clothing line, chick. Just because her sister has no talent, doesn’t mean you should automatically discredit her from having talent. The line was full of really cute mini dresses, different shorts and flirty tops. She incorporated apples into most of her pieces, since that’s whets trendy this season. Her clothes are also much priced inexpensively ranging from $60-$160.Her parents and boyfriend came out to support her. She also has a jewelry and handbag line that’s been out for a few years now. Her bags are all very trendy and bright, colorful and young. Her clothes are made for young girls not for older women which is a downside because the clothes are too young and not really sophisticated.

The most stylish clown shoes ever made

What’s the one fashion item you think of when winter comes along? A fashion must have... Uggs. They look like clown shoes and come in many different colors. I personally love them just because of how comfortable and warm they are, not because of how they look. I hate how they make my feet look 5 sizes bigger and fatter then they are. Every celebrity walking down the street is wearing them once November comes along. You can spot Britney Spears wearing them with a sundress and sunglasses in L.A. since they are not only made to keep your feet warm when its cold outside, but when its hot outside they just adjust to your temperature so you don’t die in the heat wearing them. There have been many imitations such as Emu, Steve Madden made a few pairs and etc , but those aren’t the real deal because they wont keep your feet as warm and comfortable as Uggs since they aren’t made from sheepskin. This year they came out with many new styles also. Now they come in leather, some are heels, short, tall, crochet, solid colors, multi colors and patterns. If you want to keep your feet warm, you should compromise fashion and invest in a pair of uggs.

Nicole Richie

Nicole Richie first came on the scene as Paris Hilton’s partner on the Simple Life. She was pretty much just the chubby nobody that did stupid things with Paris to entertain the audience. By the next season of Simple Life she started losing weight and took out the pink and purple extensions. By the 4th season she weighed 98 pounds and cut her hair into a chic bob and was more in the spotlight. The show was no longer just about Paris Hilton , Nicole Richie was developing her own fan club. These days she has gained back the weight because she is pregnant. She became a fashion icon wearing couture gowns , and making skinny jeans and a t-shirt into a fashion statement. Even as a mom to be she still looks just as classy walking down the street in 4 in Gucci pumps and a trendy maternity dress.

Memories ..

By definition memory is the power of retaining and recalling past experience. Whether it is a bad memory or a good one, if it was a significant event, it makes it difficult to forget. Sometimes recalling a good memory can put me in a better mood, if I wasn’t feeling good about something. People write memoirs in order to share a very important event that happened to them or a few significant events. A memoir is written from a first person point of view and captures meaningful and important memories of a person’s life.
They usually remember very small significant details about the event to make it more meaningful. It is usually written in a higher emotional level since the series of events is so important to the person. Even though most of the memoir is true, some details are fictional because it would be impossible for a person to remember every single detail of an event and may not recall exactly how he was feeling and exaggerate a bit. An autobiography is when a person writes about every little fact of his life as a whole and it is not as detailed as a memoir. An autobiography is usually longer then a memoir and contains a lot of information about the person’s life.
