migration

i've moved! well, for the time being at least, but i feel like i'm planting my roots in the ground over at whiskey and women for good. if anyone still reads this, read that one instead! bye!

sexy?

this song is horrible. just, devastatingly bad. it mostly sounds like irritating talk. and the video is mostly writhing around all over the carpets, walls, probably the ceilings if that would've been possible. but the clothing is a totally different story. i don't necessarily mean it's mind blowing, but it's pretty damn good for a little pop video. feathers, fancy undergarments, bustiers (the obligatory pop singer bodysuit), and a well-picked red lip. it's like a mini editorial, and i kinda like it. though i can't get past the fact that leighton is in the limo wearing a little black cutout number, and they put robin thicke in a primary color letterman jacket? i guess it could happen.

prep in your step

i don't really like this song all that much, it's a little too...something, for my taste, but everyone (songstress especially) is very well groomed and pristinely dressed, and for that i give it two thumbs up. honorable mention to the also seemingly perfect wallpapered rooms and dark wooden bars in the background. i feel like i'm watching a long j.crew commercial. in a good way.

but i'll be hood foreva

all this leather and black and giant hoop earrings! amazing. and this song kind of blows my mind.

cool school

some monday morning style inspiration via notes by naive. this little lady and her mini-outfits make my heart melt. gingham and denim with a ponytail that says "no fuss no muss!." so cool.

product review : sula paint and peel nail polish

whenever i'm in sephora and ulta, i get this strange feeling of "i HAVE to buy something." it's like a sickness almost, i don't want it, it just hits me and it must be cured. so the other day in ulta i spotted the sula paint and peel nail polish i had read about here and there and decided to give the olive green color a go. and the results?

well. first of all, it required more than three coats. after the third coat i stopped counting, but each coat came out incredibly sheer. then, the color dried completely different from it's wet form. i'm not sure if it was just my color, but it happened, and rather than olive green, it was this weird black brown combo. and THEN, after it dried, it had this awful rubbery feeling that i felt every time my nails brushed against anything else. and the next morning in the shower? it had already started the peeling process. which was not cute. so eventually i just peeled it all off (which was fun, and it all came off in big chunks) but it took off some of my nail layers (not an obscenely large layer, just little bits of the surface) and it left a not so pleasant result. to sum it all up, i don't really recommend it. no matter how cute the packaging is. and the packaging is pretty stinkin cute.

movie fone

this looks fantastic! i like daniel day lewis, and any large collection of beautiful women all crammed into one movie/photo/whatever.

fruit punch

i don't think i've ever paid much attention to the loewe runway. not for any particular reason, but i guess till now it hasn't made much impression on me. but this season, i have clicked through the collection quite a few times, not entirely for the clothing, but moreso for the color story. the faded out khakis with punches of saturated oranges and pinks, unlike some of the other collections i've seen, it really felt like a spring summer runway. i like neutrals paired with deep colors, i feel like it's always a nice, fresh touch. and not to be outdone by the bright colors, the maroons, olives and caramel browns felt really rich and sumptuous. i'll be keeping a closer eye on loewe from here on out.
