Fashion Blog #3- I love!

Ok so like I have previously stated I don't know that I am a real trend follower. I also don't really dress up much but when I do I try to do it big. A weird thing I have noticed about myself is that I have a closet fullllllll of shoes (heels) that I never wear! I love shoes but I almost never wear them. I live in sandals and flats. I think a lot of the time I find them uncomfortable but other times I don't think I have the right outfits to do the shoes justice. I wanted to blog about my love for shoes and post a picture of some shoes I came across that I am now in love with and wish I A. Owned them, B. Had the clothes to wear them, and C. Would want to wear them all the time! Look at picture below for fashion eye candy!

Fashion Blog #2- Swine Flu

I was surfing the web and I came across pictures of face masks for the swine flu! Designer mask with phrases like Oink! on them! This is NUTS! I think its crazy how people can make a fashion statement out of just about anything including a scary flu epidemic! I cant decide if I think the mask make a mockery of our current health crisis or if they are actually thinking that this trend will take off. If I was having to wear a mask I certainly wouldn't be worried about how I, looked I would be worried about not getting what the mask is supposed to protect me from. But then again if I was a true fashionista then maybe I would considers these masks the new best thing!

Fashion Blog #1- Trends

I was thinking about what to write in my first blog and what came to mind is trends and trend setters. I think it is interesting the trends that circle the style elite and how consumers pick up on those trends so fast! The people wearing the clothes and setting the trends are usually celebrities and I am not sure if that is because they are already in the public eye or because they are trend setting and that's why they are in the public eye. I don't consider myself as a hard core trend follower but I do find myself latching on to certain trends. I also notices that once I like a trend I tend to stick with it even after it is long gone. I know UGGs are debatable but that is one shoe I will always hold on to. I love them! But I haven't caught onto the trend of wearing them with shorts...don't know that I will ever approve of that. Its just not functional. Anyway back to the subject. Trends like the caged shoes we talked about in class and feathered hair pieces are extremes in my opinion. I think it takes a certain person to pull of the caged look or the presence of a bird in the hair. Enough blogging for today! I need to evaluate further how I feel about trends. :)
