Hello Kitty for ELLE Taiwan

Why, hello there, stylish Kitty— A very fancy-shmancy Hello Kitty graces the glossy covers of ELLE Taiwan December issue in honor of the publication's 20th anniversary. HK—the most famous feline of them all—dons a pink feathered frock, rhinestone embellished hairbow (hello, bedazzler), satin boots with gem encrusted soles and bejeweled bangle for even more sparkle. In the second shot she wears a polka dotted dress, signature pink hairbow, pearls, and black flats to complete the retro look. You guys, I'm sensing a fashion movement here: classic animal characters wearing couture and flaunting it in front of cameras. Remember Miss Piggy's big fashion moment? Mind you, she was wearing Jason Wu, Prabal Gurung, Brian Atwood + more! Check it out here ! meow.

Embracing My Dark Side

So I realize that I've taken WAY to long to post these babies considering how in love with them I am so for that, I apologize.

Anyway- Today I jumped the gun on Fall... I just can't wait for colder weather I guess. It was an uncomfortable 80-something degrees today and I was regretting my outfit choice. Good thing I was in air conditioned rooms all day I suppose. ;)

Looking at my pictures I now realize that this sweater isn't at all flattering so no need to point that out. Haha. I kinda look like a potato.

These shoes make me want to play up my darker side! I know there's all this black lipstick on the runways and in the magazines, but I just cant pull it off with my blonde hair. I opted instead for a super dark almost black plum, topped with a super sparkly bright pink to soften it up a bit. I'm also loving this black/gold instant smoky eye. Just rub it on and voilla!

As for the shoes, they're as killer as they look! One of my favorite shoe quotes EVER is from Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes when she says "A lady never admits her feet hurt!"

Well, I won't admit it but I'll let my Hello Kitty ice pack do the talking...

Damn You Crocs.

I hate to have such a negative Friday so this wont be my last post of the day, but DAMN YOU CROCS! You've officially crossed the line. And damn you too, Hello Kitty. I thought you had higher standards.

Tisk tisk. I am so ashamed.
