If the boot fits....

With winter in swing it's time to break out the boots!!!
Boots are probably one of my favorite things to wear. They are so versatile. They can be worn under pants or jeans, with jeans tucked into them (my favorite), or even with a sweater dress.

Luckily, you will be able to find a ton of boots on sale right now. There are a ton of places that you can scoop up boots for reasonable prices right now. Places like DSW have really good prices. Nordstrom and Macy’s have great prices as well.
A classy tip: If you sign up for email newsletters from Aldo, they will give you a coupon for 10% off your first purchase. you can sign up by clicking here.
REMEMBER: you get what you pay for. Don’t go the cheap route when it comes to boots.

Cheep Boots Look Cheep.
You don’t have to spend a fortune but keep in mind that you only wear them a few months out of the year. So a good pair (or two) can last you a few years at least.

Picnic Time!!!!

What is this???? UGLY as HELL that's what!! When I came across this disaster and was for once, speechless. For one thing, this D&G dress is one of the most hideous things I have ever seen. Two, what happened to Jessica Simpson? I never thought I would say this, but Kelly Osborne looks better than her. WOW!!! Jessica, you have let your new found country lifestyle go just a tad too far. You’re supposed to eat on the picnic blanket, not turn it into a dress!!

you have got to be kidding me!!!!

As if it weren't already enough, Ed Hardy has made the decision to come out with a line of handbags.

Talk about saturating the market. In the beginning the Christian Audigier brand was unique, and considered by some to be a "status" symbol.

Now, it is EVERYWHERE!!- Even being made into "knock knocks" (fakes). I remember a product like this not a few years back that did the same thing.

Unless you were living under a rock- you have seen this bag. The Louis Vuitton Multicolor.

When it was first released, you would only see Celebrities carrying it. Then it was showing up on every "Jane" who decided that sporting a "knock knock" was better than nothing. I completely disagree.

If you so desire, go out and buy this Ed Hardy bag priced at $290. But I would not recommend it. Unless you are a fan of being the person who everyone looks at while you’re carrying it and thinks, what an idiot! That person spent almost $300 on a bag that makes them look like a complete moron.

Mark my words: this may be popular now, but give it 6 months and then tell me if you will ever carry this again. Unless, you are using it as a tote to carry all of your Ed Hardy items to the local thrift store.

85%...... WOW that's A LOT!

Did you Know: 85% of women are in the wrong size bra?

Neither did I. I had always heard this and thought that it must be everyone else and not me.
I was wrong. I happened to be shopping at Nordstrom this weekend (surprise surprise) when a friend and I decided to get fitted for bra's. I'm not sure why we did, but I sure am glad. As it turns out I have been in the wrong size bra for quite a while now.

I have been fitted at Victoria's Secret before, but come to find out they are the ones who have been putting me in the wrong size. Now don't get me wrong VS bra's are great, but their associate's just don't know how to "size you up" like Nordstrom does.

"Almost every woman is guilty of wearing a bra that is too large in bandwidth and too small in the cup" says Oprah on her show "O's Bra Intervention". On which she had renound bra fitting expert Susan Nethero, owner of the Intimacy Boutique's in Atlanta, New York and Chicago. Susan is said to have fitted, and adjusted the bras of more than 100,000 women.

Tip for a good fit: UPDRADE!! buy 3 top quality bras, rather than a bunch of cheap ones. You need only one to wear, one to wash, and one in the drawer.

Some might think that bras at a store like Nordstrom would be much more expensive than say Victoria's Secret. Quite the contrary. The average price of a VS bra goes anywhere from $38 to $52! Bra's at Nordstrom start at around $28 and can go up into the $90 range.

The difference is that Nordstrom has expert fitters.

(Try the Nordstrom Fit Chart for yourself)

At Nordstrom, i was able to get fitted properly and bought some bra's in the correct size, that fit and were a lot more comfortable. And did i mention, that the ones that i bought were cheaper than the "Very Sexy" one i usually buy from Victoria's.

jail house tat's = chic? since when?

Since when was it cool to wear shirts with "fake" tattoo sleeves?
I'm sorry but this is as "poser" as you get.

Christian Audigier is the designer of the popular Ed Hardy brand. He along with "Don Ed Hardy" also known as "the Godfather of Tattoo's" created this line of shirts with tattoo sleeves sewn in.


it poses the question of.... when was it considered "posh" or "chic" to have tattoo's all over your arms? especially for females. ummmm hold on..NEVER!


Audigier has several brands under his name including the extremely short lived "Von Dutch". remember the trucker hats that sold for over $60 each.

Don't get me wrong, i like Ed Hardy and own a few pieces, but i just don't like that no matter where i go i see it. Since it's debut in 2004, it has become saturated in almost every boutique or up-scale department store.

It's almost like it's not unique anymore. When everyone has something, it's not as desirable as it would be if no one had it. it's all about the demand for the product and all of the hype surrounding it.

The cost for pretending you have tattoo sleeves and looking like a jack ass. $92.00

What a CROC!!!

I know what you're probably thinking....The answer is No! This is not a new line of shoes for home depot employees. This person actually put these on by his own free will.

Yes, crocs might be cute for toddlers but not for grown men or women for that matter. I see this situation far too often, someone is trying to look "cute" by wearing the same shoes or clothes as children. Where does this logic come from? Is it cute to wear character underwear, bonne bell glitter lip gloss, or socks with ruffles around the top? I don’t think so!
Stop wearing these at once. Please do me a favor and save us all from getting that feeling when you are embarrassed for someone else.
If you're over the age of 6 there are some things you just shouldn't do, and wearing crocs is one of them.

Now the Crocs brand is even coming out with a cell phone holster for your hip, as if Crocs were cute in the first place, now they make it easy for you to show the world that you like to wear accessories that look like you got them with your tickets from Chuck E. Cheese.

If you want to be guilty of committing a fashion felony, then please by all means wear crocs. Consider this advice and insight to what others think when adults wear things that are intended for children.

Fashion Faceoff

News Flash!! Denise!!
you're not pregnant!!
show off your "Bond Girl" body and quit covering it up with this TENT! it gives the idea that you might have a "muffin top" under there. ( i think you and tori are wearing the same size)

more often than not when you try to wear a dress or top that can double as maternity wear it's not a good choice.

we all love donna martin but quit dressing like a pregnant lady!

love you denise!!!

for the love, please get rid of those things!!!

"...if the look you are searching for is that of a overweight midget – then go put on a pair of skinny jeans!!" - Anonymous

7 reasons to lose those skinny jeans (but, hopefully you never bought them):

1. 99.9% of people can not pull them off!

2. no matter what size you are, they make you look heavy!

3. people who wear them, rock them with VANS or some other wretched shoe (need i say more?)

4. they make your feet look BIG because they don't cover any part of your shoes.

5. they look like you sprayed your jeans on. (in a bad way)

6. when you wear them, other people think to themselves. "YUCK, whoever invented those skinny jeans should be shot!!"

7. I don't think i need to mention this, but lastly, they are a complete FASHION DON'T!!!

What's with the Muffin Top?

FYI: Muffin's are for eating!! It is becoming far too normal to see women, and sometimes men sporting this unsightly look.
A "muffin top" generally occurs when an individuals waistband is far too low and far too tight. As a result of this their stomach and/or "love handles" spill over the sides.

As you can see....It's not the best of looks. So, Please if you find yourself to be guilty of rockin' "muffin top" please refer to the following tips:

*Change your Clothes!!! (the obvious choice)

* Attempt to cover up with a loose fitting top until you can get some pants that fit.

*Visit Stacy and Clinton for an Intervention.

when you're finished reading this, hurry and go get rid of all of your clothes that give you "muffin top". It's not a good look for anyone!!

FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS SPORT A MUFFIN TOP!!!

Overstocked and Lovin' it!!!

I was never that big of a fan of online shopping until recently, I have shopped at overstock.com before, but not in the past few years.

For those of you who don't know, Overstock is an online department store
which buys excess merchandise from manufacturers and stores and sells it to the public and other retailers at a discounted price.

I was recently looking for a few gifts for my family and some friends that are impossible to shop for! (the athlete, the nephew, and the foodie)(you know those kind of people that have everything under the sun) Anyway, I must have searched on every website i know to try to find something but sadly couldn't find anything. That was until i remembered that i found some awesome things on overstock before. I not only found unique and perfect gifts for my family and friends, but also some presents for myself too!!

I highly recommend everyone to search Overstock the first anytime you make an online purchase. I saved almost 80% off of retail prices the last time i used them, and now I'm

Overstocked and Lovin' it!!!
