disappointing news...

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm extremely sad this evening. The Dark Knight has offically dropped down to sucky number 2 at the box office. Tropic Thunder at number 1. If it wasn't for my love of Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr. I'd probably be 10x more pissed but I'll let it go. I plan to see Tropic Thunder next weekend, I hope it's worthy of the number 1 spot, and whats more, worthy of The Dark Knight's place.

Other disappointing entertainment news is of course Harry Potter's been postponed and the gayest book alive Twilight is a movie, and I know 2 out of 3 kids will be vampires this Halloween. The other 1 out of 3 will be the Joker.

But enough movie talk. Let me use this moment to quickly express my love for Siri at Marc by Marc Jacobs:


I'll be doing this every week or so. It's something I call "Hit or Miss". A showcase of 'could anyone pull it off and not get laughed at in public' fashion.

Hit or Miss: Oscar de la Renta Fall 2008:

Miss:

There is nothing that can be done with this skirt. No matter what cute boots and hot blouse you pair it with, it will always look ghetto and always look cheap.

Hit:

The bright blue hue might scare you at first, but if it's combined with a low key black dress and patent black pumps, I see it as a total hit

Hit:

Plum is the perfect color for fall but the leather-like appearance is a little much, but once again using a low key blouse and shoes with some nice (but not too fancy jewelry) could make this a hit instead of a miss

Miss:

I think this is an obvious one...

Hit:

The texture and frills seem overwhelming at first but it's actually really lovely and expensive looking. The color is so beautiful and a pair of black suede boots like seen on the runway complete it perfectly

Hit AND miss:

The skirt is hideous. Did they get the fabric from some 1980's Hawaiian shirt? Anyway, the shoes are SO cute! But are they too cute for anyone over 10 to wear? I don't think so, not unless your skirt is a tutu and your dressed in tons of costume jewelry.

tres chic

Fall and winter fashions have been really looking up and are much better than last season. Prada was one of my favorites. I liked many of the looks and it's where much of my style inspiration is coming from this season:


This blouse is flawless:


I don't like the blouse with it, but the skirt alone is gorgeous:



It's very Victorian, which I love but it still has a modern edge to it so it's not too nostalgic and costume-y. I can't say much for the make up (or lack thereof) but otherwise the styling is nice. The opposite can be said for Dolce & Gabbana which had good individual pieces but the styling was off and the make up was great:







Now Phillip Lim was great this season as well. He really excelled past his usual grungey looks:






Now the hair this season hasn't been impressive with an exception. Christian Lacroix couture. The make up is also very flattering and pretty:




Very stunning and very chic.

my [somewhat] new favorite models...

Sort of in order:

10.Vlada Roslyakova
9.Gisele Bundchen
8.Sasha Pivovarova
7.Jourdan Dunn
6.Natalia Vodianova
5.Du Juan
4.Jessica Stam
3.Kate Moss
2.Catherine McNeil
1.Lily Donaldson

Okay Gisele, Natalia, Jessica and Kate are kind of a given. Most people pretty much love them and I always have but Lily and Du are models I took for granted. I never noticed how pretty they really are. They both have stunning eyes, perfect skin and pretty, unusual lips.

To me Du is the epitome of elegance and prettiness:










Lily looks like the stereotypical rich bitch but I LOVE her look. It's very retro (like 1940's) and she has extraordinary features:














Unfortunatly most new models aren't as impressive as classics like Lily, Gisele, Natalia and Kate :(
