Ranting...again

So the Hills has somehow made it to another season. This time, good ol' Kristen Cavalerie (sp?) is running the show. Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but didn't she take over Laguna Beach after Lauren left that show as well? And didn't she say she was getting out of "reality tv" to begin a legit acting career? WOW, that went well, huh?

anyway, this rant is not about her and her stoner/drunken voice. this is about the epidemic known as  

SPEIDI. 


Via the premier episode, Spencer Pratt has officially hit a new low on the fashion scale. Apparently he is very much into rockin' the "urban cowboy" look. However, he looks more Brokeback than Stetson, as shown below.




 du nuh, du nuh.....du nuh du nuh du nuh...(that's the Jaw's theme, for any confused readers)

Question: why the eff do they always have to match?  Gag.



I could go on and on, but I think a picture is worth a thousand words. or buckets of vomit.


you decide.

oh Audrey!

I'm a huge fan of classic movies, and one of my favorite (and probably the most timeless) actresses of all is 
Miss Audrey Hepburn.
her movies are always well written, and with her charm and grace she manages to really connect with her character, no matter what the role is.

Perhaps one of my favorite films from her is "Funny Face", starring Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire.
Hepburn plays Jo Stockton, an opinionated bookie turned model who is discovered by photographer Dick Avery (aptly played by Astaire). The movie is shot on location in Paris






It's the classic love story (which all us romantic saps adore)

PLUS...

there are some fabulous musical bits, that surprisingly are NOT cheesy. not one bit. 
my favorite number was "Think Pink!" 


anyway...classics never die, and this flick is definitely one for the books.

calling all woodstock fans...

there is a growing fashion trend that I have been somewhat on the fence about. one that can either make or break one's image.






it can look fabulous or completely CHEESY.









drum roll please......




presenting THE HIPPIE HAIRBAND








i myself have tried this look, however i think that i bought the wrong hairbands (or...perish the thought....i have a GIANT noggin) because:

a)  my hair kept mushrooming up from how tight the hairband wrapped around my head

b) i felt like i was having an aneurysm from the pressure on my skull, not to mention the fantastic stripe that was slapped across my forehead after taking off the hairband.
while mrs. peter wentz does pull off the hippie image without looking cheesy, i'm wondering if it's a look most twenty-something fashionistas such as myself and my fabulous group of friends can also rock?



any votes? to hairband or not to hairband?


for all of you Urban Outfitter fans, here's another hairband that I found to be totally H-O-T. i am a huge fan of the vintage look, and this one really set the bar with rad and trendy hair accessories. 
 

let me know what you all think of this trend, and if you have any referrels as to where i can find some comfortable hairbands that don't threaten to squeeze my brain out of the top of my skull PLEASE PASS THEM ON TO ME!
