A Mistake

After spending a weekend in the glorious Montauk area, I finally got to see Sex and the City 2 (SATC 2) with two of my friends. Although many of my other friends have expressed their discontent with the sequel, we still wanted to see it...and almost wanted to leave. It was absolutely terrible: the plot was...well there was no plot, the characterization of our favorite four was completely off (since when does Charlotte get CRAZY obsessive and Miranda is the peppy one? WRONG),majority of it wasn't even in the City (Sex and ...the Desert?) it was all too cheesy and didn't have that sophisticated wit we all know and love. WHAT IS THIS?! But you would think that this terrible TERRIBLE movie would have AMAZING clothes that we aspiring fashionistas would toss and turn over...I mean... Pat Field is a genius when it comes to costuming Carrie, Charolette, Samantha, and Miranda, right? WRONG! WHAT HAPPENED, PATTY POO?! Everything was either TOO basic or just TOO ugly. Of course, Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, had the best fashionista opportunities - they were all really boring. And that stupid clover necklace she always wore pissed me off TOO MUCH. Usually, Pat Fields dresses the ladies up in sophisticated, unique, AND classy ways I saw NONE of this in the movie: everything was expected, boring, or ugly! I envied nothing. And that's what bothered me MOST about the movie. So instead of HATING Sex and the City ... let's remember the good times...or we can try.

Minnelli: "Losing My Mind"...are you really?

Along with the rest of the female population, I am VERY excited for Sex and the City 2: I wish I could go to the midnight showing but Saturday is the big day (so a blog about it will OBVIOUSLY follow). I just am anticipating everything: the fashion, the plot, the fashion, the characters, the fashion, the return of Aidan (one of my favorite boys, OBVI), the fashion...I'm really excited for the fashion if you couldn't guess. Of course there are many celebrities who make fun cameos in the sequel: Miley Cyrus, Tim Gunn....and....Liza Minnelli. While the first two are credited with a keen sense of style and usually impeccable choices, Liza Minnelli- thanks to the picture you currently avoiding like the plague- does not. My question is...WHERE'S PAT FIELD TO SAVE THE DAY?! THAT WOMAN HAS REMARKABLE STYLING STRATEGIES, WHY COULDN'T YOU HAVE WORKED YOUR MAGIC ON MS. MINNELLI?! I am completely honest when I say that my jaw dropped and I was SPEECHLESS when I saw this. I think it's very funny that Daily Mail mentioned who other celebrities were wearing but NOT Minnelli! Coincidence? I think not!! The only word I can use to describe this is AWFUL. So bad. It's as if she wanted to be in Mama Mia but failed. Although fashion's beauty is in the eye of the beholder, this borderlines social decency...just kidding...it passes that line...There is no excuse for this. Cover up, Minnelli.

The Cocoon.

Chanel is without a doubt one of the greatest fashion houses of our time. Although it's rare, even the chicest people can commit a fashion crime. And Chanel did it with this bag from the Cocoon Collection. This collection contains a bunch of "sleek" handbags that are also reservable, ultimately sticking to Coco's original theory of interior and exterior luxury. What is so luxurious about this? Once upon a time, when I was obsessed with materialistic and unflattering Lacoste polos, I had a UGG bag that looked a little too much like this. I loved it back then because I thought it matched my UGG boots well...a little too well. I finally let go of that bag because, let's face it, it was ugly. I don't care if this has the Chanel logo, this is is NOT chic and NOT pretty. Personally, I feel like this is just some kind of scheme to get money, no offense Chanel. I don't care if Chanel deems this chic, I am not falling for it! If Chanel jumped off a bridge, would you? Stupid question...because we ALL would. But not for this bag!

I Love the 90's?

I like to think of myself as a positive person, therefore, I don't love writing negative blog posts. But there are some things I simply can't stand for. Let's run through my day, shall we? Even though the weather was absolutely horrific, I still wanted to go jogging. Usually, I wear a baggy T-Shirt and nylon soccer shorts (they move so well). But it was so hot today, I unfortunately had to wear two sports bras and my shorts (sorry for the TMI). But I tend to not "shake what my mama gave me", so I pulled up my shorts to hide navel. So I'm on the walking portion of my regime and my shadow looked EXACTLY like a crazy 1990's fashionista. And then it hit me: Beverly Hills 90210 fashion. The 90's provided great television shows on Nickelodeon, and I do love my old school and new school 90210, but some terrible fashion. I think what bothers me the most is that there was absolutely no rule. It's quite hypocritical of me because I do believe fashion shouldn't have rules...to an extent. Anybody has the right to wear anything, but there are some things that are deemed "trashy" or "trendy". NOTHING WAS TRASHY AND EVERYTHING WAS TRENDY! Baring navels was not sluttish, it was hip. And so was wearing feminists blazers with obnoxious shoulder pads...and baby dolls dress...and tacky Hawaii print (Luke Perry, I'm coming after you in the selected picture)... and baby doll dresses...and overalls... and baggy pants...and tight pants....WHAT IS THIS?! The only appropriate way to define 1990's fashion: too much of everything. Take 90210, for example: the farther they got into the series, the more ridiculous the outfits got! Like Donna Martin. First of all, she's my absolute favorite: I just love her ALWAYS. But her sense of style circa season six went so downhill. But at the same time, it didn't because THAT'S THE 90'S FOR YOU!! It's a love-hate relationship, essentially. I don't really know how to end a rant appropriately...so yeah...other decades are better...
