ALERT!

She's thin. Rail thin. Possibly even gag-me-thin.  

Ok, let's not lie to ourselves.. she probably smokes.  She's probably one of those "I'm hungry so let's smoke a cig instead" type of girls.  She's a standing contradiction.  

It's fine, in this case, that actions speak louder than words because homegirl ain't moving.  She IS, however, requesting that you...

Don't Smoke.

She's asking politely. She even threw on a "Please," which I would have thoughtfully left out.  It's not a request. 

It's a command.  It is also our message of the day...brought to you fashionably by that stick up above, and of course, yours truly!

FLORALS

The leaves are falling, the flowers are dwindling. To keep myself from going into that awful wintercoma, I decided that I'm going to pull out all of the floral patterns in my closet. As you can tell, I am OBSESSED with florals. I have floral skirts, shoes, dresses, even a cropped floral 80's tshirt that I got at Salvation Army for two dollars. I just can't get enough of the FLORALS. Although this is supposed to be a trend for spring/summer 2009, I plan on wearing florals all year long!

I especially love this outfit that Jessica Alba is wearing on the cover of Vogue. This Diane Von Furstenburg outfit is fun, bright, and bold. How can you not be in a good mood after wearing this one of a kind outfit?

I may have an addiction. FLORALS make me happy what can I say!?

Fashion Smackdown

Okay, so I'll be the first to tell you. I love a fashion smackdown. I stalk red carpet events and am always looking to see what the celebs are wearing. A couple nights ago, on October 19, 2009, Donatella Versace hit the red carpet yet again for the annual, glitzy Whitney Museum gala. She stood alongside some greats, and a couple "has-beens" (aka Mischa Barton, who obviously looked a hot mess).

Gossip Girl's Taylor Momsen hit the red carpet that evening wearing a stunning, nearly nude, floor-length Versace gown. Showing some leg, Taylor looked pretty much flawless....except when it came to her face and that atrocious weave. Return of "Raccoon Momsen"..DUN DUN DUN. Despite the lovely gown (which, as you can see above, she couldn't walk in at all), Momsen couldn't escape looking a little too much like Donatella herself. The two were practically twins, taking bleach-blonde and the smokey eye to whole new heights.

Don't even lie to yourselves. You know they look the same.

Fashion fail.

Sneak Peek

I know that as winter approaches, it's hard even to pretend that Spring will come again.  But let's face it, in the fashion world, tomorrow is always yesterday.  Clothes for next season were already introduced in September.  

Flashing back to at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, a collection that particularly caught my eye this year was (or is) the Nanette Lepore Spring 2010 Collection.  In

 about sixteen signature looks, Lepore mixes florals and stripes, satin and cotton to give the looks of spring new texture and light.  I especially like her color combinations.  But watch out! I did spot a few pairs of peep-toe booties.  And that is NOT okay!

Fashion Icon:

Okay she may just be a reality star, but she's my fashion icon. Her use of bold colors and floral patterns, makes her feature worthy.

SHOES SHOES SHOES

Traveling home, I had my ipod playing MGMT and a stack of magazines. I was in heaven. As I flipped through the pages I noticed a fashion trend that made me cringe. OPEN TOED BOOTIES. I know I'm kind of making a pattern out of mentioning some major dislikes, but I really can't help myself.

At Moho, there is NO WAY to wear open toed booties in the winter. Your little toesies would freeze. I can barely move them when wearing my closed-toe high boots with two pairs of socks.

Also, IS it really that attractive to stick two toes out of your boots or heels? Designers thought, high heels are extremely uncomfortable why not make them even more uncomfortable!!!!!

NO NO NO NO NO!

People, please, hear my plea.

I am begging you, all of you, to please just let go of the Croc trend.

Do not get me wrong! I am open-minded. I try new things. I appreciate comfort just as much as the next girl does. But I will never, ever, EVER allow Crocs to touch my feet or the feet of any of my future children.

I get it, really I do. They're comfortable. They're colorful. They're easy. But ladies, they are also HEINOUS. As I said, I enjoy comfort. God knows I love color, and when I'm running late as I almost always am, easy is perfect. But that, my dear Mohos, is why I cling to my Old Navy flip flops summer after summer and own them in many colors. Comfortable, colorful, easy, and cheap! And not heinous. I may be lazy sometimes, but I do not consider laziness an excuse to be tacky.

To make matters worse, Crocs have now evolved. There are fleece-lined Crocs for colder weather. There are Mary-Jane style Crocs for God-knows-what. There are boot Crocs for dirty things (heaven forbid you get your every-day crocs wet or muddy).

And now, there are high-heeled Crocs.

Pardon me while I gouge out my eyes.

This is a travesty and I can not tolerate it any longer. Crocs are crap: make this your mantra, repeat it each morning. There are plenty of other options to satisfy our inner slobs. Just please, for your own sake, have some self-respect and just say no!

P.s. - No. Adding decorative pins in the shape of watering cans and puppy dogs does not make them any better.
