Kitten Heels- The Mullet of Shoes

My friend Jessie sent me a pic of her new "work appropriate shoes" the other day. While she abhors clogs, kitten heels seem to be fair game in her book. My hatred for kitten heels almost takes my breath away. I say almost, due to the fact that I am obviously able to type, and thus will be able to proceed in crucifying her on my blog. I take a kitten heel purchase as a personal attack, making revenge fair game in my books. Pay-back's a bitch.

Fortunately I have scientific proof for my intense dislike of miniature heels, making my argument safe from all critical rebuttal or backlash. Other than the fact that kitten heels are completely pointless, they also do nothing for your legs, and guarantee that everyone who sees you puts you in the same fashion bracket as those who shop at Suzy Sheer. With so many cute ballet flat options out there, do yourself and all your friends a favor and banish the kitten heels.

If you won't listen to me, at least listen to LC.

“Never wear kitten heels. My biggest no-no. They are the mullet of shoes. Go flat or wear heels.”

I just stumbled upon this site and am instantly obsessed. While decidedly hipster, it's almost like a shopping list on how to dress like the best of them. High waisted skirt? Check. Tube scarf? Check. Chunky platform boots, printed tights, grandma sweater and top not? Check, check, check. Now if only all these looks didn't have to be hidden under a parka and umbrella for the foreseeable future.

Anatomy of a Hipster Part I

Ask Darwin, or anyone who believes in evolution and they will tell you that for centuries the world has survived on the premise that only the fittest live.  Now the word "fit" is used here in the traditional and non traditional sense of the word. Yes it does stand for being healthy and strong, but it also translates into the ability to adapt, conform and assimilate to ones environment.

That being said, it is obvious why I have chosen this as a metaphor for my move to Main Street. Just as all plants and animals must adapt to evolve, the same goes for humans when moving into a new community.  One must adapt to new surroundings, learn the rules of the road, tricks of the trade, or suffer the wrath of social extinction. Easy as 1.2.3.

Well it would be, except for the fact that Main Street is Hipster Central and I'm naturally more a Gwyneth then a Sienna. Try, try, try as I might I can't seem to cultivate that look of un-calculated chaotic, perfection. At first I blamed it on having boobs (shirts don't drape gracefully) then my legs were not long and skinny enough (an essential for pulling off the combat boot) and then finally I attacked the blonde locks. Platinum is so contrived, not natural enough. 

All in all a natural hipster I am not. I could try to be, but my passion for girly dresses, well tailored clothing, and wearing clothes that do not add volume to ones frame, immediately get me voted off the island. Don't fret for me however, my survival of the fittest introduction, seems to guarantee that the hipster breed will die out before long. As natural selection would have it, no one can survive on just espresso and cigarettes, especially while forgoing cars for sketchy vintage bikes peddled by paper thin legs ;)

Stay tuned for a Part II of Anatomy of a Hipster - a piece by piece dissection, by yours truly.

Shallow Steez

Here's my super shallow style commentary on tonight's Golden Globes looks. Look, Love, Judge.

Angelina in color, without a thigh high slit? Unheard of! 

Natalie Portman. Pregnant, and still thinner than most. Bitch. P.s I hate baby pink silk on her, but I do feel bad for saying "hate" and "baby" in the same sentence.

Blah. Is that brocade? My mom wore that to prom in the 60's. American Idol made you a celebrity, perhaps What Not to Wear can show you how to dress like a one.

Has she ever looked better? Im obsessed with this outfit.

Nicole Richie called, she wants her outfit back. Oh, and it's time to break the piggy bank for a bang trim.

Is it just me or does Emma Stone look like she belongs on "The Girls Next Door?" She's so much fancier as a redhead.

Cute & original. Lose the DUCKFACE.

Angelina would never wear pink Megan. Everyone knows this. Oh...and Eat Something!

This look should now be called the Princess Kate. Monochromatic, sheath dresses, perfectly designed for those with enviously slender bodies and not even a whisper of hips.

Fashion Perfection

I'm in a summery mood today, and this fashion editorial from Harper's Bazaar pretty much says it all. Crisp white dresses, bare, tanned legs, daring pant suits and tennis to boot! All this combined with doe -eyed attitude from Heidi Mount, and a little Canadian edge by model Jessica Stam and I would without a doubt say this is my favorite Sans-Kate Moss fashion editorial of the year!
