I've that exact shirt! Never bought into Urban but as I sit at my desk I am head to toe in AA: Cotton Spandex Turtleneck dress and their delicious n durable leggings of the same blend. I'm a bit of a slave for their colors n laid back cuts. Nothing says cool comfort quite like em!

*cringe* is it so bad?! I rock white pants pretty much all year round... I think its more than safe when I'm in RSA, but perhaps not so much when I'm on this side of the world?!

Cute or not, why Coco!? WHY? I would prefer her by any of her give names: Eliot or Pauline (maybe not Pauline) Styler (nice!) or Summer! Bad move... it actually makes me cringe. Can't stand copy cats n I'm a passionate celeb hater. Annoying!

LOVE Blair!
Gosspi Girl is my guilty pleasure! I tell my partner I watch it in the name of fashion but that's just the half of it: I'm a sucker for teen drama... : )

I'm trying to cut down on what I use. For the past few weeks I've limited myself to tinted moisturizer n mascarra... Hopefully my skin will start behave so I can enjoy fresher lookin skin for spring/summer.

: ) Taking it too far maybe!? Enhance isn't the right word at all, you're right. Enhancement is great, it's the extremes that get me down. Still my sentiment remains the same. It's sad that the WonderBra of all things has topped the charts!

Skepchick I'm right behind you. I had to raise an eyebrow at the stiletto heel. As for the WonderBra, I think that's pretty sad n says something about what we've come to appreciate in fashion. I'm not a fan of reconstructing, enhancing, reducing, swelling, whatever it is of the female anatomy. I'm a fan of expression... The World's Greatest Fashion Invention?! I'd probably say the use of stretch fabric. Blending stable & stretch fibres have changed the way we see clothing... No more elastic round the waist jeans that ballooned around my a**, and cut off circulation around the ankles! And now my fresh white tops really cling to my curves... So that'd be the greatest fashion invention in my books: stretch fabric... that n eyelash curlers ;)

I am SO glad this conversation is happening. I lost my MIND when she pronounced Givenchy. LOST IT! It didn't cross my mind that the whole ruined dress deal was scripted (silly me, I'm a lil new to the Hills)... I was freaking the hell out over the dresses... This entire episode was a lil too much for me to take. I was either completely frustrated, appalled or entirely envious that these featherbrained fowls were actually involved in the industry and yet knew nothing... NOTHING... and half the time Lauren doesn't even seem that interested.
On another note, Heidi talks just like her mom which I thought was kind of cute. That aspect of the episode was probably takes the cake in forced serious moments... and awkward ones too (step dad's interaction with Spencer in the drive way.)

I felt that eerie Anna Nicole vibe too. I think this is really great though. After looking at them a couple times they're not as creepy as they could have been... which I guess is a good thing, because they're stunning. Hottest sad clown in town.

No no no no to backpacks! They definitely present a security issue as 2:22 mentioned, as well as the problem of where to put your cell phone, wallet.. etc (unless you REALLY want to take it off, put it down, unzip it.... look for it... every time). And backpacks have never looked professional... I'm reminded of people who walk to work with. in their sneakers. and white socks. and dress pants (a part of me is dying just as I type these words)... No matter how small n stylish, there is always an element of JanSport that can't be shaken

Spring might be in NY but Mtl is still under the spell of pseudo spring... Rocking those champs in tube socks would be the only thing to do... And I too am not up for the challenge :)

They did indeed, hyphenated and everything! I thought it was pretty lame to be honest. Out of place yet not enough so to be interesting.
Howevah! the following spread featuring the Chloe and Louis Vuitton high waisted swimwear?!?! There's some can't-touch-this appropriate material. Love. it. (sorry to change topic)

See! then it would be appropriate! :) Pull out the parachute pants, the high tops n the turtleneck half- tops, then we can talk!

No... I don't think we couldn't love her more.
Thanx for the pics!

Yeah... "I can tell you're lips aren't really that big!" ;) But can someone please give me the scoop on Emily Blunt?! I'm obviously out of the loop and I'd like to be clued in... honestly (really, no sarcasm), why are people talking about her?! Why are we discussing her?

Just to set the record straight.
haha to guest at 2:42! Now that we've established that, I'm going to go off Macintosh and say that the dress by BV in the 8th shot is divine!
