More Evidence BK Target is GHETTO SQUARED

So I was trying on a few things in the Brooklyn Target just now, and I have to tell you what transpired. I was bringing in this item:



Xhilaration tie-dye bikini, $30, and the very nice Jamaican lady attendant told me that there had been "a problem" and I was not allowed to try on the bottoms. Shady, huh? So I tried on my stuff, and the bikini was great, by the way. On the way out I asked the lady if it was at all Targets or just this one that you couldn't try on bathing-suit bottoms, and she said just this one, and repeated the ominous phrase "there was a problem." I asked if someone had bled on them. She nodded sadly, and then there was a whole "aren't people disgusting" exchange. And then she added that it had happened more than once. WTF people? Who is so hard up for emergency swimwear that they have to do this? Gross. Just gross.

Anyway, here's what I "purchased" (that Christmas gift card was burning a hole in my wallet) in addition to the bikini:



Skinny patent-leather belt, $9.99 in store. Apparently I'm in a skinny belt mood these days, despite the fact that I'm not really a belt person at all.



Mossimo printed hoodie, $19.99. So cute.

Thanks Mom!

Spring time!

Click for bigger! Background found here

So Spring is here, even if it is colder now than it was in February (or at least feels that way). I always find in Spring that I'm suddenly aware of the new year and start really thinking about what to do with my life/year/wardrobe, but in an excited way, rather than the 'ohmygodit's2008whatthehellamIdoing' real new year way.

Of course, this is just my way of leading up to my Spring 'if I was a boy' wishlist/inspiration boards. I realise that I'm doing a lot of inspiration board type things at the moment but... well, it's been raining pretty much constantly for a week and it doesn't look like stopping so these have been a welcome distraction. So here we go:

1. This chap, courtesy of the Sartorialist, I'm sure you must've seen... he's wonderful. If I were you I'd be scouring second hand shops for a similar jacket and swearing off skinny jeans and trousers forever.

2. Umbrella from Fulton Umbrellas. I would've thought this was a pretty obvious one. This is tiny and would probably fit in the pockets of a decent sized overcoat, or in that manbag you should be carrying. I know some men don't like carrying umbrellas (more on that at a later date) but frankly, if it's pouring down with rain it's better to carry an umbrella than to get soaked.

3. Slim wallet from QuietDoing (another Etsy find!). I've never been one to have a 'long term' wallet. You know what I mean: leather, expensive, faaaahbulous stichwork. So Spring is the right time for me to get a new, fun wallet and mix it up a bit with my accessories. Plus you've been carrying that hideous wallet you got for Christmas for 3 months now, you're not obliged to use it any more.

4. Adidas Grey Marl trainers. I know, I know, get over the Adidas already but I really like these. The look really fresh and I think you could dress them up a bit or just wear them with jeans. Plus, I'm blatently going to get them as soon as they're in the sale.

5. Another Sartorialist chap. Aside from the fact that this man is godDAMN gorgeous, I really love this look. His shirt is absolutely fantastic; the little flecks of colour in it look fantastic against the plainness of his coat... and what a coat! Also, if someone could arrange for me to have his hair, that would be great.

6. Mjolk Stone trench coat, for obvious reasons. Trench coats are everywhere at the moment, but I especially like this one which is part of Topman's new season LENS collection.

7. Blue Fairtrade cotton hoody. This is a bit of an odd one out, but I love the colour, it's in the sale and I love the buttons. Plus it's Fairtrade if you're bothered about that sort of thing.

8. Engineered Garments Overnighter bag. I know it's a bit pricey, but it's also beautiful, and handy if you go visiting a lot.

9. Silver Converse. I could say I'm influenced by the Converse worn by 1., I could say I'm influenced by the reflections in the puddles, but really I just like shiny things. I'm a simple soul.

First Lady of France style

Carla Bruni, Prima Doamna a Frantei, i-a cucerit pe britanici prin eleganta, diplomatia si atitudinea ei umila. In timpul vizitei la Londra, Carla a purtat trei tinute create de designerul britanic John Galliano pentru Christian Dior. Primul ansamblu a fost unul gri cu o haina navy, a la Jacqueline Kennedy, al doilea a fost un costum cu pantaloni, tot gri si cu haina mov, iar pentru banchetul de la Guildhall a ales o rochie burgundy si bijuterii Chaumet. Pentru ca Mr. Bling-bling, asa cum este poreclit presedintele Sarkozy, este mai scund decat ea, Carla a purtat balerini Chanel, iar el pantofi cu toc de 2-3 centimetri.

Fashion Bloopers By Claudia Schiffer and Sarah Jessica Parker

Celebrities are not perfect for they are humans too. But in the world they lived in, mistakes are not easily forgotten especially if those moments were captured by paparazzi's cameras.

Let's talk about Claudia Schiffer, a supermodel and mother of two. She posed for Chanel's maestro (Karl Lagerfeld) photoshoot in New York's Central Park when she stumbled to the ground. She looked stunning in elaborate spats and a beret but falling to the ground appears be a big joke.



This scence is like a dejavu of what happened to Sex and the City actress Sarah Jessica Parker as she slipped at the top of a flight of stairs during a glamorous shoot for Vogue with famed photographer Annie Leibovitz.



However, what's important is how they stand up after the big fall.. :D
