New Moon: Team Jacob

So, my sister and I have this pact for the Twilight series. We had to finish all of the series before the original Twilight came out last year. Then, we promised to see every sequel together.
Because we had read the book first last year, we were very disappointed. The movie didn't do a great job of following the plot of the book. It was not made very well at the time because the lack of funds the movie brought in.
Over break, my sister and I saw the sequel, New Moon, and it was AMAZING. The characters were more seasoned actors and the movie was made very well. I am obsessed with both leading men, Edward and Jacob. Jacob is a hunk and kudos to him for working his butt off to keep his spot in the leading werewolf role.

Fashion Icons

Everyone has a fashion icon they look to for their fashion do's and don'ts. Where would we be without the style police in magazines after huge celebrity red carpet events? We wouldn't know what to think about that weird skunk hat on that famous actress or that mop hairdo on that hollywood hunk.
Someone I personally look to for my fashion trend advice is Blake Lively. She is one of the stars of the teen drama airing on Monday nights. Gossip Girl is a wonderful series that will get you hooked after the first episode. So many of the characters on the show have great fashion sense. Blake Lively carries herself in a way in which she could even wear a ratty cloth and parachute pants and be confident in her looks.

If everyone carried themselves in a confident manner no matter what they are wearing, this could go a long way. Things could be more accepted in the fashion world, unless you're mixing brown with black of course.

Lady Ga "GAG"

So, Purdue University has kindly offered an invitation to the wonderful Lady Ga Ga for January 14, 2010. I'm not going to sit here and pretend I didn't think about hashing out forty buckaroo-skis to see what Lady Ga Ga's Poker Face actually looks like. I mean, the music videos never really do give them justice.
Another reason I was mildly interested was honestly because of her outfit choices at this year's Video Music Awards.
I'm not quite sure what she was wearing, or if it was something her doctor made her wear so she wouldn't scratch her neck, but it was definitely not ok in my book.
When people start to call her the Madonna of today, I think its getting a little crazy. No one can beat Madonna any day!

I want that Jacket!

Why do all the cutest clothes have to be so expensive?! It is very insane how this economy works. This jacket probably only cost 1/3 of that price to make, but retailers mark-up the jacket price to make it into a select target market's wardrobe. I believe the pricing in the retail industry is ridiculous. Sure the economy sucks, but shouldn't that mean we should drop the prices to give the people of the world a chance to make their wardrobes fashion forward? Think about us poor college students who can't even afford dinner, but want to look good for that next interview. C'mon retailers! Do we have to all shop vintage now in order to look good? Of course, I love bargain shopping, but settling for less than the jacket I want is not okay.

Beauty of Fashion

Fashion is everywhere. The fashionista of your school has it. The famous designer has it. Even the girl who dressed so crazy, you figured she didn't look in the mirror before she left the house, yea, she even has it.
Beauty is in the eye of its beholder, and to me, fashion is beautiful. Every person on this Earth has their own sense of fashion. Whether you are the person that reads all the fashion magazines, or the person who couldn't care less, each person has their own style. I think this concept is beautiful. God made each and everyone of us UNIQUE, and this reminds me of how each person is unique in their ways of expressing themselves.
