Trend Alert: Clogs are in, but I maybe out.

Posted by Michelle August 17, 2010

NEWSFLASH:

Let’s talk about one of this fall’s biggest trends: clogs

I must warn you I’m slightly horrified. I think they are *gasp* ugly, and hard to wear!  Chanel brought’em back and now they are everywhere!  They’ve become mainstream, and exactly on trend for the fall. Target and Aldo have CLOG categories on their websites!

 

I have a few problems with these shoes

A) I’m short, when I wear them, I look like I have hooves and even shorter legs. 

B) I’m confused how to wear these, I guess with pants only right?

C) I get horrific flashbacks to when I was 10 and had a pair of patent leather black glitter clogs. Oh Yes, I did.  While I loved them at the time, looking back that was a bad fashion moment!

D) I’m clumsy, I need a strap on the back or I’m gonna fall flat on my face.

I’m not completely sold on this trend and probably won’t participate!

What I really want to know is, what do you think? Are you going to wear clogs this fall/winter season? How will you rock yours?

 P.S. I like the look of these “clogs” from Target though they don’t seem so “clog-like” to me.

 

Hhm…I see a visit to target in my future and at least 2 pairs of shoes!

Quick Style Guide: Mens Casual stepped up!

Posted by Michelle March 9, 2010

 A few days a go I had a twitter follower ask for a few tips on how to dress up a casual wardrobe. Pretty easy right? Well this follower happens to be male!  Men’s fashion is an area that I usually don’t do, but let’s try it out. 

 Just to be clear, I judge Men’s fashion on if my boyfriend would wear it or not.   I love some of the runway looks, admire them, and then think “he would never wear that”  So these tips come as if my boyfriend asked me.

 Quick Tips for dressing up a Causal Wardrobe

watchThrow on a big metal watch!

                  Never underestimate the power of a watch.  The bigger the better.  I have a friend who is a t-shirt, jeans, boots wearing guy (its Texas, they all wear boots).  But when he puts on a gold watch, I always find myself commenting on hdark jeansow good it looks.   It instantly adds a sleek “man-with-things-to-do, must- have-watch-to keep-track” vibe.

 Try a darker wash jean!

Darker denim is just sleeker.  That’s just the fact.  Women can get away with dressing up darker jeans for a more put together look.  It works the same way for men.  A darker wash of denim will seem more formal.shoes

 Try a different pair of shoes!

                  Always wear tennis shoes with your button down shirts? That instantly makes an “outfit” more casual. Trade for a nice pair of loafers or slip on shoes.  Another way to instantly add a touch of dress, wear the same color shoes and belt.  Makes you looks incredibly well put together, thus dressier.

 shirt

 Go graphic, but not logo!

                  Take your t-shirt to a new level.  Try a graphic print.  AVOID logo tees, phrases tees, and certain brands.  (These are the brands I recommend avoiding and why….you however are allowed to make your own decisions. —Ed Hardy, Christian Audiger, Affliction, Tapout)  These brands sometimes make the wearer look like a wannabe UFC fighter or just a plain d-bag. 

 There ya go! How to dress up a causal wardrobe-Men’s edition! Maybe I’ll try Men tips more often…..

 Got any more tips? Let me know I’ll add them!

Dead Winter Days= Dreaming of Spring Feet!

Posted by Michelle January 13, 2010

We are now in the dark days of winter, where the fun and anticipation of holidays is over, and now we anxiously wait for spring.  I love my boots and tights; I really and truly do.  My collection is perfect and I wear either, or both almost everyday.  But deep down inside, my feet are already itching for spring and summer shoes!

Pretty painted toe nails, sumptuous sandals, cute flip-flops, killer wedges! *sigh* I’m especially looking forward to wedges.  I happen to be getting married and honeymooning this spring.  My mind is wandering with all the pretty wedges I want to wear to wander around some tropical locale! 

 I’m slowly thinking of a check list to the kind I need:

  • White cork
  • Black Wood
  • Brown/bronzy
  • A fun colorful pair 

Shoes and packing are a painful topic for me, since I usually want to take all of them and should probably only take 3 at most.   I like wedges the best. Since I’m pretty short, the height is always the biggest plus, and the solid base doesn’t make my feet hurt.  Here a few pair I’m lusting after for spring/summer:

Christmas Honesty

Posted by Michelle December 9, 2009

The shopping season is in full swing as people rush to find the perfect gifts, and hope to receive the perfect gift.  TV Commercials are ripe with deals and sales. My favorites has been the Target ads, with the little girl who confesses all her bad behavior when she thinks her parents spent too much and her utter shock, when they reveal they haven’t. 

 In that spirit, here’s a little of my Christmas honesty: I’ve done most of my woman-with-giftshopping but still have a few people that are just difficult to buy for.  And I fear that I’m becoming a difficult person on other people’s lists. 

 The Reason: I don’t ask for clothes, shoes, purses, etc. from others because I’m so damn picky.  Last year, I wanted a pair of black boots from BF.  I wouldn’t let him pick them out, nor did he want to because he knew I would be so particular.  Of course, I knew the whole time what I was getting but I was ok with that because I knew they were perfect.  (After all, I did pick them out!) 

 This isn’t to say I’m not grateful!! No one has to give a gift and just the thought alone is meaningful. But I would never intentionally ask for anything fashion related because I am so picky and would never want someone to think I didn’t like their gift.  I don’t like hurting people’s feelings! *frown*  When people do give me those things, I usually end up loving them (example: My aunt got me a cardigan last year that has be come one of my go-to cardis this year!) But I would rather not even take the risk of (a) not liking it [me being picky!] or (b) disappointing someone.

So, I’ll stick to asking for movies, music, and tech gifts instead, which I know I’ll love! That way no one has to be shocked when opening gifts.

Do you have a Christmas confession? Spill away dears! 

 Oh, and in case you haven’t seen it here’s the hilarious Christmas morning confession Target ad!
