Style Inspiration: Salt N' Pepa

It's totally not on trend or chic right now, but for some reason late last night I was overcome with the desire to push it real good. 

Chalk it up to overexposure to the 50s/20s/70s worship that seems to be on constant rotation during every fashion week, but something in me is calling for 80s excess and cheeseball-ery. That's a word now.

Furthermore, when did matching outfits become embarrassing? Because I know I certainly am embarrassed of the matching outfits my cousin and I used to wear, but part of me wishes that it was still socially acceptable.

The rest of me totally understands why it isn't though, so don't worry.

Also, when it comes down to it, I really hate 80s style trainers that designers have come out with recently. So maybe it isn't my personal style but I guess I just like people who take fashion risks. And catchy 80s pop.  Even if I just can't with these damn sneakers. Who wants to spend $300 on these?

Happy Superbowl Sunday!

It's Superbowl Sunday, which means nachos and beer and hotdogs. There's also a football game, but it doesn't count because the Patriots are not involved*.  Now, I love nachos. And I love beer. And I love men tussling over pigskin. But sometimes things get a little stupid this weekend. So, I thought I'd make up a little list of things that are smart and glamorous. Just to keep things even.

1) This bag

Wayuu Taya Bag

Good bag, good materials, good cause. Available here.

2) This woman

But it will not be all rock & roll, oui?

3) This necklace

Kate Spade Doodles Pen Necklace

Actually, this entire brand. Gorgeous planners, bright shoes and bags, quirky jewelry, yes please.

4) This blog.

Old Hollywood

Deep, dark, Hollywood. I love.

5) This man (and woman...sort of).

I love Kanye. Haters say what you will, but he's honest, constantly seeking to improve and a genius. And, yes, he yelled at a famous, gorgeous, legs-to-here blonde chick. Cry me a river, Swift. As for Gaga, I have mixed feelings.

6) This designer

Geek chic. On a whole other level.

So, I hope you all have an awesome day whether it involves football or not. But if it doesn't involve either nachos or beer, we probably shouldn't be friends. 

P.S. Been thinking about bringing back outfit posts. Thoughts?

*and, if they are involved, they are winning. Except for that one time with the Hair Plugged Wonder, but whatever.
