Aretha Franklin's Hat

January 20, 2009 in Asians, Celebrity, Fashion by Moye | No comments

aretha

I’m sure you’re all very familiar with the hat that Aretha Franklin wore while singing at Barack Obama’s Presidential Inauguration this morning.

How FABULOUS is this?? I never wear hats, I don’t know a thing about hats and I’m sure hats wouldn’t look on me, but I LOVE THIS HAT.

There is something just so faboo and adorable about it. It’s got a huge bow bedazzled with Swarovski crystals in what looks like a very warm wool material (felt?) cocked at a jaunty angle that’s like HEY EVERYONE. I’M FABULOUS. Aretha’s a diva and can only wear the most divalicious bows.

I would totally wear this. I wonder if Mr. Song Millinery will be making copies anytime soon.

Anyway, is Luke Song an Asian hat maker? If that’s true, this hat is even more awesomer than ever. EVER.

Miu Miu Tote

miumiu

Someone give me ONE reason why I shouldn’t spend $1250 on this gorgeous bag.

Okay, you’re right. It doesn’t have a long shoulder strap, which I really would like.

Give me one more reason. Yeah, I guess so. White leather always gets so dirty so easily.

Fine. Give me five solidly good reasons why I shouldn’t. FIVE.

Excuse me while I wipe the drool off my keyboard.

Rethinking Wolf Shirts

September 6, 2008 in Fashion, Thoughts by Moye | No comments

I haven’t really talked about those horrible wolf shirts since the beginning of this year, but it all started with this post over a year ago. I hate wolf shirts.

They make me angry…but I’m wondering if I have to rethink my stance on these ugly tops.

Check out the comments on this page selling the long-sleeved shirt above. Do you think they hold any truth? I might have to get one. If I still liked Chuck Norris jokes, I’d say that this was the Chuck Norris of all T-shirts. But I hate Chuck Norris now, so I’m going to say that this is the Michael Phelps of all 100% cotton, machine wash warm and tumble dry low woven apparel.

Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery

July 23, 2008 in Fashion, Thoughts by Moye | No comments

Or just another way to be a jerk.

One of my favoritestest blogs (besides this new one about CAKES! Yay cakes!) is Fashionista, and my favoritestest parts about their blog is when they point out the blatant copyright infringements that run rampant in the fashion industry. Most of their posts deal with Forever 21 but I just found my own on ModCloth.

I present you with the “Dreamsicle” dress by a clothing brand named Shulima. Never heard of it, but the dress looks mighty familiar.

Oh, I know why. Because it’s a super popular dress by Marc by Marc Jacobs.

If there’s a plus side to fashion copycats, all the cheap material will drive smart consumers to purchase the real version with better quality. Note to self: if I ever try to sell a cheap dress online, make sure to iron it well first.

Anyway…what else is going on? Oh yeah. Did anyone else notice how much eyeliner the mayor (played by Nestor Campbell) was wearing in Dark Knight? What the hell was up with that?

I Hate Myself

June 11, 2008 in Celebrity, Fashion, Thoughts by Moye | No comments

I mean, that’s the only explanation, right? I mean, usually I’m so stubborn in my beliefs and I hate being a hypocrite (then again, I change my mind about things ALL the time) but really, how else can you explain the following?

I just bought a cute jacket from Clandestine Industries, which is Pete Wentz’s fashion line.

UGh.

PETE WENTZ.

Does it really have to be him?? Granted, my hate for him has died considerably, ever since I realized that there were better things to hate, like bananas and squirrels, but I still refuse to really listen to his music, or really care about whatever he has to say. So what if he knocked up Ashlee Simpson? One can only feel sorry for him, right? Think about it, Pete. Joe Simpson is your new father-in-law, and now you’re going to have to share your new wife with him. Gross. Look what happened to poor Nick Lachay.

As hardcore and punk rock and hip as you want to be, you’ll never be able to live down the fact that you are now officially a member of the Simpson family.

Right, anyway. This jacket I bought? SO CUTE. I think I debated about buying it for 30 minutes solely because of Pete Wentz’s attachment to it, but in the end, my need to look as good as possible while wearing a jacket with thumb-holes in the sleeves so you can look like a hobo won out.

Sorry, Pete. You may have $60 of my money now, but we’ll never be friends.

PSA: Seriously Not Funny

May 29, 2008 in Celebrity, Thoughts by Moye | No comments

It’s always fun to run into Lifetime in real life, like seeing an Army Wives poster on the commute to work, or trying to explain to your old classmates what exactly you do (besides answer phones and be slaves).

It’s even more fun when you run into Lifetime around the Internet, because you’re basically getting a different perspective on a place where you spend over 8 hours a day a week. For example, one fun fashion blog that I’m starting to peruse, Fashionista, actually devoted a small item to our wondrous network.

Former intern Brett wrote in to let us know that Lifetime’s changed its logo – and it kind of looks a bit like Interview‘s. (link)

It’s true! We did change our logo! I think. I didn’t really know until I saw a new bag, but anyway, fun! Yay! Things I do actually get out into the world! Right?

But seriously, people? The joke is getting old. The whole “ha ha Lifetime original movie about endangered women” thing? Not funny. No, really. You think you’re being really original and witty when you bring it up to me, but you’re not. Because not only have I’ve heard the same exact joke the other day and about 50 billion times before, it’s also really not that amusing. So stop.

Can we please talk about how Top Chef isn’t worth watching anymore now that Dale is gone?

Open Letter to Penguin

April 11, 2008 in Fashion, Thoughts by Moye | No comments

Hey Penguin. I like your clothing–like, a lot but usually when it’s on sale at Loehman’s or at the bottom of the discount barrel at Buffalo Exchange (as much as I hate that store) cause honestly, $300 for a cotton dress? No, thank you.

Anyway, just a question: whose idea was it to label the beige color of your “Hampshire” button down shirt as “damp”?

That has got to be the worst name for a shirt. Damp. Why not go all the way, with “mildew” or “sweat” or “drippy”?

I also like the following:

moist
sticky
soppy
dank

Those words alone just bring up images of the retro, cute and sleek clothing that your fashion line has to offer. Right?

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING.

March 5, 2008 in Celebrity, Fashion, Thoughts by Moye | No comments

There are very few people in the world I admire more than Katie “Jordan” Price. I’m dead serious.

She’s like the Paris Hilton of the UK, but with brains, bigger boobs and an overall fantastic personality. I mean, I don’t even know what she does, but I love her. She’s so not sophisticated and kind of chavvy (is that a word? Is that even a word that an American can use?) but she makes loads of money through writing books about herself and children’s novels about ponies and making deaf/blind/mute babies and selling perfume and showing of her gigantic boobs and I LOVE IT.

She recently debuted her new lingerie collection for George at Asda (which I guess is either a department store or clothing company in England) and blah blah blah she posed in her knickers, bluebirds chirped, a rainbow came out from the clouds and all was well.

Here’s why I love her:

She said: “I decided that I wanted girls from my fan club to model [the range] with me in front of the press so I got them to write in and then I chose six girls.” (link)

AMAZING. She selected a group of 6 girls who properly reflected the range of sizes and styles available. LISTEN. Katie Price is one smart, generous gal. She knows who loves her (ME!!) and she knows that her clothes will fit anyone.

I love it.

Let me just say this.

February 25, 2008 in Celebrity, Fashion, Thoughts by Moye | No comments

Apparently I don’t remember too much from a couple years ago. For example, I just came across this old entry from the WOW Report and I was shocked to learn that once, some lady fainted on me on an airplane and it really pissed me off. Really? I have no recollection of that. That’s pretty funny, though.

But ONE thing I remember is wearing a new black dress from H&M to work on a hot sunny day, and deciding to pair it with these DARK BROWN Seychelles flats because I didn’t really have time to look for anything else, blah blah blah. Of course, Randy had to point this out in outrage, took a picture of it AND posted it on the blog for the whole world to see. Thanks a lot.

LET ME JUST SAY THIS. If Daniel Day Lewis can wear the same color combination on the red carpet to the Academy Awards, then goddammit, SO CAN I.
