A FUCKING LEATHER TEE SHIRT?!

That is exactly what this is. And no, I couldn't believe it either, but 'tis true. Diane von Furstenberg has outdone herself with this one. I'm so excited I can't even think/type straight! It literally took me 82354031975 attempts to type this short little paragraph!



Saks describes this as "Your favorite tee look- this time in smooth leather and finely tailored with gathered sleeves and chest patch pocket." 100% Italian lamb leather, with silk/lycra lining so you don't sweat your tits off. I'm not sure how I feel about wearing leather that isn't a jacket or boots, but judging from the photos it looks supple and soft, comfortable and breathable enough to be a jersey. I'd so be willing to try this.


In other news, I'm driving up (or is it over?) to Michigan tomorrow to train for my internship. At Kohl's, which should be interesting. I'm rather excited of the fact that not only is this internship paid, (and paid A LOT) but I get to do some traveling. More updates to follow on my journey into adulthood.


*So this gets labeled as a WTF but this time in a good way.

Amateur Modeling at its Finest

And no, for once I'm not talking about America's Next Top "Model." I'm talking about this lovely thing over at Moxsie.com- I was cracking up and the girl's "posing," or lack thereof. I mean seriously, who okayed these photos?!



I'll break this failure down for you guys:


1. The Generic Catalog Pose: There is, quite literally, no life in this arm. There are no angles, no interest, no posing really. Last time I checked, the point of catalog modeling is not to make garments look shapeless. This does nothing to make me want to buy this dress.


2. The Over-Exaggerated Shoulder Hunch: Clearly, someone has been doing her homework and reading Vogue and W, and has equated that a hunched shoulder equals high fashion. But, when you only lift one shoulder with the rest of your body erect, you only look rather lopsided.


3. And finally, whatever the hell this is. I mean COME ON what is going on with that right arm?! Who directed this photoshoot? Who told this girl that this was a good idea?!!

However, this dress is hella cute [I will link it here]. I just get too distracted by the crazy arms and deer-in-headlights, trying-too-hard expression. She's a pretty girl, but LORD please give her some guidance in the modeling department.


I've come to the conclusion that the girl's right arm is just dead.

The worst jeans in the world.

Okay, so I've started to enjoy Twitter, mainly for the fashion sites and blogs who regularly update with me with exclusive sales and the like. I found a series of interesting posts from Ideeli.

Like, the worst jeans in the world.

I can't decide which ones are more unforgivable.



These, apparently, are big in Japan... the "Bikini Jean." Now, I don't know who in the world would ever want to wear these and be taken seriously. They are beyond trash. Like WAY beyond. They are by a Japanese company called Sanna, which makes another pair of unfortunate jeans they've deemed as "the lowest in the world." See below...




I mean, how could you even fucking sit down in these? Do these people actually think that ass-cleavage is sexy? Because I can assure you that it isn't. Whoever designed these jeans is either on crack or a dude, either one of them with about as much class as a drunken beer-bellied redneck or a stripper. If you've never heard of having to get a bikini wax simply to wear jeans, well... now you have.

Oh but wait, it gets worse. Good lord does it ever get worse.


The "Winking Jeans." By some "artist" names William Jones. They are supposed to wink at you when you walk, but in order for them to work you need to have some "junk in the trunk." However, if you are going to cater to those women that possess such "junk" shouldn't you make a more flattering jean? And who the fuck wants eyes painted on their ass? I sure as hell don't. And apparently, Jones hasn't stopped with the eyes. Oh no, he has even made jeans with ducks painted on and they are supposed to give the illusion of opening and closing their beaks and quacking...(?!)

If you'd like to read more, you can click here. But I would suggest otherwise.

Good GOD.



Unfortunately, I don't think any NIN photo can save this post. Even if it consists of special guest Peter Murphy (of Bauhaus) hanging upside down, during a performance of "Reptile". I think that may be one of my favorite songs =)

These aren't even WORTH a witty title or song lyric

Okay typically I love (or at least appreciate) almost everything posted on Notcouture, but I just do NOT get these booties by Jump by Steve Madden... or why anyone would think them fashion-forward or even cute enough to post them. I don't know if it's the oddly shaped heel, or just the shoe itself that initiates my gag reflexes. But I am completely baffled that anyone would design a shoe like this.


I mean seriously, WHAT THE FUCK?


They aren't even remotely cute!


In fact, they look like glorified CROCS, the devil-spawn of shoewear.

If you're going to do perforated leather, at the very LEAST do these booties by Steve Madden.
THESE are cute.
THOSE up there are NOT.
