How To Not Wear Your Blue Jean

For $88 you can get this outrageously bad taste jean in your wardrobe. And you can even dispose of it how you please – cut it in little tiny pieces just because it’s so ugly or by all means, wear it (at least please have the decency to wear it at night or with something covering it at least knee-length!).

Made by Sanna’s Brazil Fashion, the jean is called “bijini” and I find it completely appalling. I don’t understand how someone could actually launch something like that on the market. I can hardly put it under “fashion disaster“, it should have a “don’t wear unless you’re a Spice Girl in concert” tag allover!

From time to time I ask myself what could I do/wear to make my hairlife easier. For almost 4 years I’m bidding high on headbands.

Of course I had my fringe days but soon over because I had to take care of it, straighten it almost every day, keep it in one place. Exhausting. I confess, I love the “natural” way of things and my hair is wavy to curly, not an easy one to discipline. Then again, I had my pregnancies keeping my hair in a particular mood – half year gorgeously locked and the other half in a pitiful mood making me dream I’d shorten when first laying my eyes on the scissors. The moment I get myself flirting with boy-cuts, my hair begins an amazingly functional period. And .. I go back to headbands.

So now I’m actually wearing one to exhaustion – black and red print in little squares with a tiny bow on the side. I started matching my outfit to my headband instead of the opposite!

Are you fond of headbands? And if so, what kind? With/without bow? Slim? How do you make it through the day without having bad hair?

I guess when playing a part in a superhero movie (Ironman, set to appear this summer) gives you superpowers too (or at least makes you wish you had some).

Like for instance the power to be as beautiful as you’ve never been before, to proudly go and show new self to the world, all dressed up like the alien queen (Oscar de la Renta pre-fall 2008) on the Vogue Cover.

I have rarely seen a cover title so appropriate for the cover itself “When Good Work Goes BAD”. Or “Photoshop meet Gwyneth, Gwyneth, bye, darling!”. Oh, Anna W, you’re playing God, dear? Can’t just make people up all over again!

What do you think? Does this cover reminds you of real-life Gwyneth?

“I want to improve myself. I do not want to live for eating. Isn’t that what you expect from life when you are old – dinner parties and only sleeping?”

The 86 years old legend talks about life’s pleasures and recognizable style. He knows the world’s turning around wallets but he also says that one should begin the construction of its name with a personal style, not with a heavy banking account.

That, of course, doesn’t elude paying for originality and talent in any creative field and since his story was “my talent made the money, not the money made the name”, he’s selling all his empire for $1,2 billion.

It makes a world of difference from the full-of-wisdom-antisocial-Kaiser, doesn’t it? Stepping down to taste the pleasures of life and communicating with people. Why can’t the world spawn more Pierre Cardin?

A while back I let you know that there was going to be another Chloë Sevigny involvement in the fashion world – the UT Uniqlo Project.

Well, it’s released! And it looks at least outrageous (not that I would have expected less of her). La Sevigny poses like she’s struck by some gastro-trouble or touched by some love misery.

Either way, the pose that’s saying all by itself is the one with the white t-shirt where she shows not “the finger” but both of those mythical middle fingers.

Like she’s sending this “you’re bugging me!” message to all of you watching these advertising photos right now! All polite, this cute little blonde button!

What’s wrong with you, woman? Can’t your big head understand you’re making too much fuss of your fashion-self?

Not long after Naomi’s Heathrow luggage trouble, Kate Moss finds herself in a similar situation. Living England for US sunny shores with her daughter and 8 suitcases was all fine.

Coming back with her daughter and 10 suitcases wasn’t quite the same. The Heathrow Terminal 5 is a luggage twilight zone since 28,000 bags were lost in a month from the opening of the terminal.

And that’s not the only thing I found out from the incident! It seems that, somewhere in the 10 Louis Vuitton was also the prototype collection of Kate Moss’s line for Topshop fall edition.

I really hoped this was coming to an end with the present flop. I guess it’s far from it. And plus – they appear to have located the luggage, hence the collection will be returned safe and sound.

Is someone famous more entitled to require special treatment? Naomi made a splash out her luggage problem at T5. Kate Moss chose a low profile but the news still made it to the media so it’s a big issue nonetheless.

How’s a “famous” bag more different than your bag for instance?

What do you do when you’re having a crowded house? You’re being inventive over every inch of space available. I know I am!

With toddlers at home and relatives popping up from time to time, I thought this sofa would be excellent. That is if you have no problem with heights! Just like a normal click-clack system, this sofa turns into a bunk bed. With safety elements and ladder integrated.
What space savers do you dream of or have back at your place?

Harper’s Bazaar features a photoshoot in the April 2008 Issue called “Couture in Bloom” with a gorgeous fresh-faced Doutzen Kroes.

Nothing unusual until here. The photos show a princess-ballerina-like-Doutzen with almost bridal fairy tale-ish dresses from Christian Lacroix, Givenchy, Armani, Chanel, with hair arrangements from Bumble and Bumble and makeup from Chanel.

Well, with all that Chanel in sight isn’t anything ringing a bell? A tiny one? Then let me tell you who is the photographer behind this pictures – Karl Lagerfeld!
