It's been a long time.....

I hope everyone *snickers* is having a safe and happy holiday!! As you can see it's been a minute since the last update. It's called V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N :)

I'll see you kids in 2007!

ROAD TEST: STRAIGHT LEG JEANS

Okay, I've been a boot leg girl for a while now. Having seen the skinny leg jeans being worn so well by various coworkers I decided to switch things up a bit. If you notice I mention denim a lot it's because I wear jeans everyday and they help me pay my rent (I work for a denim company).

Fast forward 3 months and I have had to resign myself to the fact that most skinny jeans are just too severe for my body type (I'm 5 '3 " with a healthy appetite). However, I am happy to report that straight leg jeans are a slightly more forgiving silhouette that lends itself to a similar aesthetic of a "skinny" jean. With a slightly wider knee and leg opening you can wear them, eat a meal, and not look crazy afterwards. I purchased 2 pairs --see pic at inset--from the Gap (their regular jeans don't even fit me...go figure!) and have received such comments as "Have you lost some weight" and "Nice jeans". So maybe getting rid of some of that excess fabric at the bottom can actually have a slimming effect....hmmm.

WINDOW SHOPPING

I'll be adding these to my Christmas list (if only I could stop shopping for myself maybe I could afford to buy gifts for others *sigh*). A girl can never have too many shoes right?

THE BIG BANG THEORY: WHO ROCKED IT?

So everybody and their grandma has been rocking bangs lately, hell..I'm even thinking about getting some. But I don't think that anyone has done it quite as well as this young lady....

Naturally, this begs the question: Who rocked it best?

Janet is the originator of many a trend, but I think she's been one upped on this one. My bet is on Dora. I'm also feelin' her Louis nap sack, where she's undoubtedly holding all her work at.

p.s.- Chanda J. this is why we are friends! Also, I die a little inside every time you do your Dora impersonation :)
