Les Chic, Les Chien (Week Twelve)

Each week, I review one hundred looks, half of which induce the phonetic uh-mey-zing and half of which induce more violent vomit than the night Jake chose Vienna. With this series (translation: the cool, the rotten), you will ascertain, via my eyes, why an ensemble should spend an evening as your apparel or why an ensemble should spend an evening inside a nondescript box whose ultimate destination is the Salvation Army.

Seriously, Kate Middleton is so flawless. She defines the world beautiful. Just about six months after giving birth, she rocks a gorgeous white gown with lucid jewelry, simple, black clutch and her handsome Prince. Seriously, it just couldn't get much better than this. Perfection at its finest. Well done!

Robin Thicke, after your stupid 'Blurred Lines' video that ended up being banned from YouTube and now this grungy, homeless look, you make me realize the real truth... Blurred Vision. You are an adult, you are a parent and you are not a sixteen year old Justin Bieber. Therefore, dress and act your age. You are welcome in advance. 

Happy Birthday Barbie!

On Friday, Barbie celebrated her fifty-third birthday and throughout her two decades as Mattel's most iconic merchandise, George and Margaret Roberts daughter has been a busy girl. From architect to McDonald's cashier, plastic surgeon to United States Air Force Thunderbirds pilot, Barbie has had sixty-three careers (the next time someone questions your career path, tell them Barbie's your role model). As recognition of Barbara Millicent Roberts cultural impact, here are a quartet of women who made life modeled in plastic just as fantastic.

                

 In 2012, Shawn Johnson should join Barbie as a two time Olympian and hopefully Barbie will join Shawn as a Dancing With The Stars champion.

Diane von Furstenberg and Barbie may each line the catwalk with some fierce skirts and stilettos, but Skipper's sister simply can't match the wrap dress.

Barbie never received the two billlion pairs of eyes which watched Kate and William's wedding, though Barbie has been a princess since 1990 while Kate is only princess consort.

Hilary Clinton may not have achieved the Oval Office, which Barbie attained in 2000. However, Barbie has never served as First Lady, Senator, or Secretary of State.

Bows Bows Bows

With the harsh winter just around the corner it is easy for one to slip into comfortable clothing when it is cold and drizzly outside. The best way to add some spunk and spice to a casual but comfy outfit is by adding a cute flat. There are many options you can take with flats. The most popular flat right now is flats with bows. To upgrade your comfy, causal outfit, add bow flats to make it much more adorable. Try the Bow Buckle Flats at Anthroplogie for $118 or Target Xhilaration Sandee Bow Flats for $20.

Bow flats don't always have to be paired with just a casual outfit, they can be paired with a cute dress for a holiday party or event you have to attend or even just for a day of running errands. They add class, spunk and sophistication to any outfit you choose to pair them with.
