These Are a Few of My Favorite Things! *& a Few Not So Fav

I'm in a Fashion Frenzy tonight, having spent hours scouring the sales at Designer websites and sales sights like:

Ideeli CLICK HERE www.ideeli.com/invite/ZenBetty  and 

Beyond the Rack CLICK  www.beyondtherack.com/member/invite/B19A74B5 

Awesome sites, and I managed to snag a Lovely Cocktail Ring for $12 and a wicked cool tote bag for $24. After using credit I had, I paid $26 for $80 worth of loot!

I love Designer, but I hate paying retail, and these sites are perfect for such times. :)

Now that I've Raved, back to the Rant(s)... A few things I noticed while shopping online, that I just don't care for:

1. Empire waistlines Ack! If you're 12-21, by all means, go ahead. But other than that, no thank you. Especially if you're over 30, you'll look like a misplaced Prom date. I bought some strapless ones a few years ago, never wore them and then took a loss when I sold them on Consignment. *I bet a 15 year old bought every one of them!

2. Bubble Dresses Just no. Enough said. Being super thin, you would think I would love anything that added curves, but those types of curves are not what I am looking for. *They make me think of Snookie, from Jersey, and she is not a Fashion Role Model, by any means.

3. Wearing Multiple Trends (All At Once!) Seriously. Jimmy Choo and Ugg, I am talking to YOU! Yes, Animal Prints are super hot. Yes, Metal Chains are awesome. Yes, Fringe is in as well. But all on the same shoe? Shame on you! Yuck. I always thought Jimmy Choo was beyond reproach. I was wrong...

4. Dumpster Appearance Models You may be modeling a hooded sweatshirt, but it is a sweatshirt/hoodie you want me to pay $300+ for. Glam it up a bit Ladies! No need to look like you crawled out of the dumpster.

5. Derby Sized Crochet Hats All that glitters is not gold! Example (see Right).

What is that on her head? It looks as though she has the Evil Eye... The brooch alone may be ok, maybe as a headband or barrette. But with the slouchy, over sized crochet hat, it's a tad silly.

There are many more things I could rant about, but it's about time to Power Down.

If you want to tell me why I am wrong on these topics (and more!) hit me up and we can discuss at length.

*I'm afraid I won't budge on the Empire Waistlines though lol...

Oyasuminasai!

XOXO
