Trend Files #048 | How Much Do You Love Your Vagina? Trend Files #048 | How Much Do You Love Your Vagina?

I hope that you didn’t choke on your cup of java this morning like I did! Goodness, if I didn’t think that being a woman was hard enough, there are some people who appreciate the fact that Eve robbed us of our chance at peace and serenity here on earth. As though menstrual cramps, hot flashes mood swings, and our daily battle with pre menopausal spats didn’t drive us to Rikers Island – we can all look forward on showing the world that we love our “vagi patties” so much that we can also wear it on display for the world to see. Oh but wait, if you thought that wearing a neon pink vulva on your neck would woo you into the outer limits of radical feminist hysteria – be ready to stock your shelves with Leakproof Cloth Menstral Pads (blank stare), adorn your bed with …

Trend Files #047 | Lindsay Lohan Obviously Loves Alaia – The Question Is Do We? Trend Files #047 | Lindsay Lohan Obviously Loves Alaia – The Question Is Do We?

Ok, work with me ladies….your girl has been really preparing for something major in my life, and I can’t share it with you until NEXT WEEK! OMG so excited…but I had hoped everything would have been completed by this week. But next week, I will finally share with you my big secret. Alright, so any who….I have been on a mission to really get down to business on Lindsay Lohan. Granted her tumultuous affair with Samantha Ronson always manages to catch serious air time over the internet highway – but you and I both know that we could care less. In fact, what is more important is the fact that La-Lohan has been spotted on a series of occasion rocking what may seem (to the naked eye) a pair of hideous over the top lace up Gladiator boots. After much heavy debate between myself and my cousin, we’ve both agreed …

Trend Files #046 | Karl Who? T-Shirt Trend Files #046 | Karl Who? T-Shirt

Back in May everyone was going ape shit over Unkie Karl’s mysterious “Karl Who?” canvas bag. If there is one thing that we should know about Karl Lagerfeld- is that he is a marketing genius. Sure, why not let the photo hungry paparazzi snap shots, sending subliminal messages to the fashion deprived. First the tote….now the T-shirt! Unkie Karl was spotted shopping on the streets of Saint Tropez with a few of his sexy boy toys…(can’t be mad at that). But we should all wonder when will theses ‘Karl Who?’ pieces will find themselves neatly stacked on shelves. So far the “Karl Who” t-shirt and tote look pretty basic, so I am wondering if they will come with somewhat of a basic price point? Only time will tell! More Views After The Jump!
Side Note: The T-shirt is available now (in both black & blue print font) via Colette

Trend Files #045 | Alexander Wang Corduroy & Nappa Shorts – DO WE LOVE IT? Trend Files #045 | Alexander Wang Corduroy & Nappa Shorts – DO WE LOVE IT?

Geez, If I didn’t know any better – I’d think that the recession has really kept some of our favorite designers limited in thought. And while we can sit back and chuckle professing our affinity towards big Vogue recommended names (which half of the time we don’t even know how to pronounce them correctly)…the majority of us find amusement behind over the top price points – even in the midst of a global financial crisis. The 80′s trend has died slow as far as I’m concerned! And think that in the last two years, we did a good job of putting the final cut on things. Hence Alexander Wang, who has managed to bring back circa 2005′s “It-trend” thanks in part to a stellar collection of pre-fall accessories. But when it comes down to actual ready-to-wear garments…there are SOME things that I really don’t get when it comes down to …

Trend Files #044 | 2009 BET AWARDS – Worse Dressed Arrivals Trend Files #044 | 2009 BET AWARDS – Worse Dressed Arrivals

Ok, so I didn’t fully watch the BET Awards show – that’s because I was sucked into the realms of “True Blood”…(love that show). But when I did tune in for a short spell…Jay-Z rocked the mic with his “Death Of The Autotune” song. I did catch a quick glimpse of Soulja Boy…turning his swag on, then a usual (like with any award show) I normally change the channel. And you ladies know that we are more concerned with what some of our favorite celebrities were rocking out on the red carpet. Let’s face it….some times the BET award show brings out the buffoonery. And the one thing that will ALWAYS manage to throw me in for a loop – is to see celebrities (who indeed have some cash to burn) waste away in mortifying ensembles. It’s the kind of thing that makes you want to throw up the “bitch …
