Forever Fridays: Fat Sloppy Weirdo Edition

So... I want to look like a fat, sloppy weirdo... also I want to look cheap... what do you have?

Oh, good. I was worried I was going to have to walk over to Charlotte Russe.

get it while it's hot!

Maid You Look

So this lemon dress from Banana would be a cute bridesmaid dress... if you're into that sort of thing...

Lemon Dress From Banana

Get Out of My Dreams...

Get into my closet.  Srsly. I am about to schedule an imaginary engagement party just to have an excuse to wear this dress. So pretty.  I love this dress. It's 350 pounds on Stylemetv.com which probably means its like $500 in America or $ 0.50 in Amercia if you're a Romney.  So it's basically free, right?

buy it

Frankie Says Relax

Relax. Take it easy.  You know you want to. 

This ridiculously awesome lounger just reminds me of how annoyed I am that there is no West Elm in the County of Orange.  Come on people.  I don't want to have to drive all the way to LA or Santa Monica to get a mother effing swatch up in here.  Help a sister out.

hey friends.  I got le lazy for a little bit.   But I am back in action.  word to your motha.

Bah ha ha

Words.  There are no words for this.  I am at a loss.

Happy Summer Solstice

Happy Summer Solstice Friends!  Please feel free to celebrate by getting some fringe on your tatties and start shakin with the good lord (or doctor, or whoever...) gave ya.  Apparently, I am not the only one who is obsessed with fringe-kinis this year. They are part hippie part primal chieftess and all awesome.  This one from L*Space is $68 for just the top... I will let you know if I find one that is equally cute but easier on the pocketbook.

buy it!

Oh You're Cute.

So fresh and so clean!  The pleating detail makes this breezy little top look at least a little more expensive than $17.80.  I just want to throw it on over a cami and tuck it into a work skirt.  Totally sheer tops from Forever 21 are work appropriate right...  Cool.  That's what I thought.

Buy it.

Products That I Love: Zents Body Oil Hydrating Elixer

So, I just had a nice relaxing trip to Le Parker Meridien in Palm Springs, and found my new obsession in their spa: Zents Body Oil Hydrating Elixer. [Sidenote: Sissy has not been compensated in anyway for this review, however, dear friends at Starwood and/or Zents, please feel free to send some products my way :)]

So anyhow, on to the review.  This stuff is so awesome.  It's moisturizing, but somehow magically doesn't leave you oily... even though it's body oil.  The scents are gentle and delicious, and have adorable backstories... I am a sucker for an adorable backstory.   The scent I bought was Sun, which is a mix of grapefruit, blood orange, amber, sandalwood and vanilla. 

According to its backstory, Sun is inspired by:

"Unconditional love. Warm hugs. Reassuring words. Home-cooked meals. As nurturing as a mother's love, ZENTS Sun embodies all that is warming and gentle. Sun is about the loving comfort of home. It's a tribute to the kindness and warmth that radiates from a mother's beautiful heart, like the rays of the ... SUN. "  Ok, so if that isn't adorable, what is?

'Cause I'm a Dork: Hunger Games Inspired Fashion

Like all the other 14 year old girls I know, I am totally stoked for the Hunger Games movie.  Ok, so I am like 14 plus 14 (plus maybe one or two more).  And if I had all the time in the world, I would totally put together a kickass post about fashion inspired by the movie... but I am lazy.  And someone else has already done it. 

Some kiddo named Shannon from Boston U. put one together over at College Fashion.  And she did a pretty good job... 

So here you go:

thanks Shannon!

A Little Cagey

... So this is happening:

It's like a Project Runway challenge to make a ready to wear cocktail dress for Lady Gaga's new line for Everlast.  Make it work!

Buy it at Mod Cloth, if you're into that kind of thing...

Spring is Coming

Spring is coming in exactly one week my friends!!!  Go buy some ridiculous shoes... and get a damn pedicure.  I am totally crushing on these Ferragamo shoes at Bloomies.  I probably won't actually buy them because a skinny strap across the toes always makes me feel like my feet are going to break in two... but boy are they pretty to look at.  And at $595, they are basically free, right?

 

By them here...

Fashion Is Ageless: The Chic Gene

Hello friends.  Please take a second to check out this new blog I just found.  The Chic Gene is written by a wonderfully fashionable mother daughter team.  So go check it out... and tell your mom (or daughter)!

Forever Fridays: Loosey Goosey Tunic Edition

So this is cute.  I like the idea of the belt, though I would probably replace it with one that I already own, as I am sure the quality of the belt is suspect and would likely make the top look cheap-ish.  But otherwise it's a cute basic top that is appropriate for the over 21 crowd.  And cheap.  Only $24.80.

buy it.

I Can Haz... a Winner!

Congratulations, Malachy the Pekinese! Your adorably weird ass won best in show at the 136th annual Westminster Kennel Club dog show. 

Naturally, I have spent all morning trying to figure out how I can convince boyfriend to let me have one.


there were other dogs too. you can see them here.

Things That Are Amazing: Somebody That I Used to Know by Gotye

Happy Day After Valentine's Day, friends.  Thank God that crap day is over.  Here is a great February 15th song with a super awesome video.

Things that are Amazing: Lindsay Pavao

Oh Holy Crap.  Please behold this from the 2nd round of auditions on the Voice.  Mother Effing Amazing.

Forever Fridays: The Key(hole) to My Heart

I am such a sucker for strategically placed cutouts in clothes.  Especially on the back of clothes.  

They can take a kinda boring-ish dress like this: 

....and turn it into something that is pretty awesome, like this:

Forever Fridays: Holy Crepe

I am pretty concerned that this little crepe dress will probably look like a belted potato sack in person.  But I adore the mustard yellow color and sweet belt enough to give it a try... at least as a "running errands in the summer time" dress (aka "I am going to Walmart and I don't want to put on a bra or pants" dress).

Buy it here.

Spotted.  Tri Delta pledge new member pin at Forever 21.  The colors are wrong but it's only $13.80.

Moves Like ... Who?

This just in. 75% of all youths* under the age of 22 do not know who Mick Jagger is.  Sir Michael Phillip Jagger children! What is this world coming to.

"Wait, What?!"

*This is, of course, based on a personal survey of 4 people I happen to know who are under the age of 22.  Ironically, every one of these youths surveyed appeared to know every lyric to the song Moves Like Jagger.  For the record I think this song is absolutely terrible and I hate myself for also knowing all of the lyrics to this song as well.  But I secretly love it because it gives me the opportunity to display my own personal moves like Jagger, which, as it were, look a little more like  the moves GOB does when calling Michael Bluth a chicken (see below).

Vegan Leather is the New Pleather

The word "pleather" is apparently too F21 for the gals over at Shopbop, so now they are calling it "vegan" leather.  Which sounds so nice and animal friendly.  I am only half making fun of them because I really love this  Free People dress.... despite the fact that they are calling it "vegan."  Also, I would rather pay a pleather price for a dress like this that you can't really wear every day.  This little bad boy is on sale for $96.60, so get it while it's hot.

Buy it Quick!

Sweet Sunday

Ahhh.... It's that time of winter where I only want to shop for spring and summer clothes.  Like this tunic from CALYPSO St. Barth:

It's on sale for $109 (down from $135).  Not quite as affordable as the pieces from their recent Target collaboration, but it's probably cuter and better quality, right?

Get in my Closet!

I want this. 

Honestly, this needs to be in my closet 5 minutes ago.  This metallic jersey dress by Ports 1961 was originally $600, now on sale for $210 at the Outnet.com.  So it's basically free right? 

Buy it here.

Zara Baby

So I was really excited when I first heard that Zara was going to start selling stuff online since I no longer live Zara-adjacent.  

Unfortunately, everything they are selling online is ugly.  Everything is all looking like it came out of the Girl with Dragon Tattoo or something... except the baby stuff.  How cute is this little belted shirt dress?  Why don't the offer this in lady sizes?  It's so casual and breezy.  I just want to throw it on and go on a tropical vacation.

See!  Look how cute it is in the close up.  Don't grown ladies deserve cute dresses like this, Zara?

Forever Fridays: I Think I LOVE(21) You

I am not sure, but I think I love this.  It's a little cuckoo and a little sweet.  It's possible that I might just be distracted by the sequins.  Also, it's almost happy hour.

LOVE21 Puff Sleeve Blazer

Forever Fridays: Oh Hell No.

"So I was walking down Sunset and I was like Oh My God it's so breezy today it's really weird cause I thought it was going to be warm out and everything and OH MY GOD I just saw my reflection in a store front what the fuck am I wearing." 

(that is what I imagine this poor broad is thinking)

WTF

Oh Hai!

I'm Back!!! Did you miss me?!?!?!

Why is it not summer yet?!?!? WHY?!?!
