UGG Boots

When the UGG boot first became popular to the general public people swarmed to get their hands on these fuzzy, comfortable boots. Now the UGG boot has lost its appeal. And this isn't just because we are all trading in boots for flip flops and sandals.
I was not aware that UGG boots were no longer a mark of style until I was watching an episode of America's Next Top Model. I am the first to admit how addicting this show can become. I love watching photo shoots and making comments on how each girl is doing; "I like her but she's always posing to same way." But I digress.
At least two of the models chose to go to their go sees in UGG boots. It seemed practical, why would I walk around Argentina in shoes that always had blood in them after I wore them? However I saw at least one designer, when commenting on what they thought of the model and where or not they would higher them, criticize the model for her choice in foot wear. It caught me by surprise. In my small town UGG boots were worshiped, so much that someone started stealing them from the girl's locker room. Only those who were fashionably aware realized that this trendy boot was no longer in style.
I looked around me at school the next day and saw many girls still sporting the UGG book and looked at them and their style. Not to be prejudice but the kind of girls I saw wearing it in my school wear them everyday, long with black yoga pants, something on top and usually a Northface jacket and a major attitude to go with it all. Not exactly the most stylish on the block.
I agree with the fashion industry this season, UGG boots are no longer need to grace the fashion magazines and the streets of Beverly Hills, even if they still do in B.H. I am not saying throw out you UGG boots with the trash, there are comfortable and even I break them out when its wet, cold and I want to wear sweat pants. Just don't wear them if you want to show that you are up to date in the fashion world. It could do the exact opposite.

Pretty is Pretty Again

I think we're all aware that for the last few season we have seen star and star parade down a red carpet rocking the "Edgy Girl" look; Taylor Momsen and Kristen Stewart to name a few. Personally I was never in favor of this very much. I couldn't help but feel that a dark cloud of fashion had rolled up to the flashing cameras. Although I was never in favor of the trend some people like it and that is your personal opinion. However, after everyone rocked the edgy look it began to loose it's edge.
Thank the good lord above Pretty is coming back. Although I am not always a fan of hers Selena Gomez is one young starlet who is staying away from the studs and military jackets in favor of soft dresses and more polished looks.
I can not thank the fashion gods enough for this blessing. Although edgy was hot for a while pretty and polished lives on forever. There is a reason Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly, two of my personal favorite idols, are fashion icons even now. Please, please, please give this some thought. I know that I am looking forward to a season of polished rather than punk.

Expanding Horizons

It has come to my attention that I am probably one of very few theatre bloggers. I may be the only one who knows? But so far no one has read any of my posts. I know I am a tiny speck in a very large very full internet. Myabe no one will ever listen to me.
However I realized this weekend that although I love theatre that is not all I can write about. I would like to think of myself as a stylish person and so I could blog about fashion. I am also a swimmer. I can't imagine my life with out a pool. So I could blog about that. So I am. Why should I constrain myself to one topic and get only so many readers (if I've ever gotten any. I don't think I have) when i could blog about tons of things. If you don't like it then only read my posts about the things you like.
In the mean time I will hopefully be blogging more frequently because I will have more to blog about. :)
So if anyone out there is actually reading my little speck (please please please keep reading :) then hopefully you will keep reading. I have much more to talk about now.

Recently I opened my May issue of Teen Vogue. As I flipped through the pages I came across and article by the magazines style blogger Andrew Bevan called "Class Action". The article praises the book Classy: Exceptional Advice for the Extremely Modern Lady by Derek Blasberg. As I read the article I was slowly convinced that this book was something that I wanted to read. The book is a guide for young women who do not wish to be grouped together with the way many other young women act.
Bevan opens the article with "We live in an era in which Heidi Montag's plastic surgery escapades make the evening news, Gossip Girl characters are revered, and a Twitter war can turn a nobody into a paparazzi princess. So what's a gal to do in this age of tacky pseudo-celebrity?" I couldn't agree more. I can say honestly that I do not have a Twitter or follow anyone on Twitter and I find Gossip Girl confusing because I can never keep up with the constant musical chair style of dating the characters have. I have every intention of reading this book. I look forward to writing a review of it once I am done. I have yet to start the book but I soon will!
