predictions

I found this cute little chart that "predicts" your personality based on how you use your lipsticks. I like thinking that these things are true, just like how I occasionally [religiously] read my horoscope at the back of the magazine to see what is in store for my great life. I'm the person that likes to believe the horoscope is directed at one sole reader [me]. Especially when it starts to talk about the "relationship" I'm in and absolutely nothing I read can be related to my life at this moment. I find these things fun and light hearted. What I don't find lighthearted is the tarot card reading my friend gave me this weekend that proceeded to lay out my life in the most horrid way possible with every negative thing happening to me [I should backtrack, I guess divorce and separation is better than early death?]. The thing is, at the end of my predicted divorce or separation I'll still have myself [#winning] and my closet full of amazingness.

Wild Side

I've been seeing the cheetah/leopard jean craze plastered all over blogs and fashion magazines, but haven't decided if it is something I could pull off mostly because I like to stay away from patterns on my lower half in order to disguise my debatably larger bottomus. Then I see Alicia of Cheetah is the New Black and I fall in love with the look because of her adorable styling. She posts about her Current/Elliott leopard jeans a bunch and they look so chic, not gaudy and gold lame status. I'm just not positive that I could do it yet, so I may wait to see if they go on sale or try a cheaper pair I found at Gap. Decisions. Thoughts? Am I just retarded? [don't answer last question]

Reader Request

I had a reader request last week for red skinny jeans and I think I found a respectable assortment. Colored jeans are HUGEEEE for fall and are seen in pretty much every store and in every denim line [especially color king J Brand]. Out of all of the colors red is definitely the show stopper. The red denim can easily double as a dressier pair of pants with the right heels and top and they bring the ultimate sexpot factor. It's the unexpected in an outfit that grabs peoples attention and the red this fall will do exactly that. Wear them casually with flats or let them stand as a sliver of color with boots. Any way you wear them you'll get attention [for the right reasons not streetwalker kind].

EtsyFeatureFriday NEON

So, naturally, all posts lead to neon in my life. Well, most of them at least. And today doesn't change any of that. I found a redonkulous jewelry designer that I now have the BIGGEST [neon] crush on. Her statement necklaces are insanely eye-catching and bright. Which, in my book, is great because it has the ability to take any outfit to the next level [and I think it's fair to say the level I speak of is filled with unicorns and rainbows]. The line is called Noble House Designs, made by Sara Lowery Ng based out of Houston. She has an etsy shop and a website, so there's multiple stalking venues. These necklaces are now at the top of my wants list-officially obsessed.

Tiffany Chou

I haven't featured a new brand I've fallen for in awhile, so I thought it should be at the top of my list. AND THEN I found this lovely lady's jewelry line and fell head over heels, so the timing was perfecto. I love nautical and marine style things (i.e. seahorses, starfish, the little mermaid), so when I first saw Tiffany Chou's line I loved the daintiness in how she addressed these sorts of things. They can become extremely tacky, extremely quickly (i.e. spongebob anything). Her jewelry comes in gold AND silver choices (something I feel like designers snub the majority of the time) and are reasonably priced. Two things I (and my bank account) appreciate.
