Oh, Jilli. You need to acompany me on my commute to work. There is a stretch where all the young women (and men, but they tend to be boring and walking around holding their baggy-to-the-point-of-pants shorts up by the crotch) are decked out in the latest trendy fashions. It makes your eyes bleed. I've seen just the outfit you describe but tighter, skimpier and with much more shiney.
Weirdest so far was a couple times this week. Chick was wearing a pair of mid-calf bulky boot, lined with fur, that presumably zipped up both sides of the ankle. Except they weren't. So the front half flopped forward over her foot a good two inches and the back trailed at her heels. Everything else she was wearing was the usual high trend and she was walking normally, so I guess it wasn't an accident.
Dammit, I missed the Great Potato Debate!
I wanted to say twice-baked...
Anyhoo, carry on with your wacky LA fashion review, darlings!
Fashion bemuses me. I'm a little ticked that
this
year Target is offering the styles of swimsuits I spent so much effort tracking down last year.
I don't mind being trendy -- it makes it easier on a lazy shopper like myself. It so rarely happens, it seems, and about never in the spring.
A Lush question -- how the hell do you get the Bollywood bath bomb to not stain the bath? I pretty much had to bleach mine out. Will I be washing the tub while still in post-soak glow? It smelled so nice ... and I still have half a one left.
one of those pink & brown shrunken tweed jackets (that ties shut with a limp satin ribbon bow)
I'm sorry, I broke after that description. I hate those tiny, ill-fitting jackets, and I haven't even seen ones that don't button close.
Um, er, ita? I broke after that picture, too.
I like the Mizrahi skirtini.
Note to everybody else on the Internet:
PLEASE LEARN TO SPELL.
Thank you.
Is the key to shrunken the not closing in front? I tried on a small jacket last weekend, with fasteners that extended past the jacket instead. It looked ... okay. A bit mod, a bit futuristic, but there wasn't the love required.
Burrell, I am
so
glad to break you. I thought of you especial.
Follow-up lush question -- is there a simple way to find out which bath bombs glitter and which don't?
Um, check the ingredient list?
Fairy Dust (Polybutylene terephthalate & Acrylates copolymer),
I kinda like the shrunken look. I can wear my pre-pregnancy stuff that is still way to small and look in style.
Last night my friends and I were playing the "Incredibly Drunk or Are Her Shoes Just Painful (or both?)" game as we drove down the row. Way entertaining. Also, lots of visible butt crack, on girls with jeans that were just way way too low. Weird.
WHOA! They brought Absolute Delight back!
