Ruffles Are EVERYWHERE

Some things I will admit that I don't fully understand. Ruffles are one of those things. Sometimes they are done in such a way that they are cute, other times they are simply way over done and take it to so far of an extreme that it isn't funny. Well, I find it funny so... there's that. I know that I am no expert on these kinds of matters, but I also know that someone has to agree (and disagree) with me. Not that I personally care where you fall on the matter of any fashion choice, just making it clear that I know you; as a reader, may not agree with what I have to say every day. That is OKAY! I do want to hear about it though! Please tell me where you stand on ruffles while you look at this picture of how (I Believe) ruffles should be done! Later! <3

Manic Monday

Did anyone catch the Screen Actors Guild Awards last night? A few of the looks we saw were really gorgeous, some were a little lack luster and some... well some were just down right flub-tabulous. Did anyone else notice that for a red carpet event a lot of these stars did not have a lot of accessories? The makeup was about what I would do for prom. As far as fashion goes, I think this awards show was pretty much a sub par Hollywood event. Maybe we'll get to see some better looks as we get to more awards shows but this was just lacking in the fashion department. I can't even begin to get into who was best and worst dressed this year. If I had to choose I would probably say Lea Michele and Emma Stone would probably be my two top choices for best but Busy Phillips and Shailene Woodley have completely missed the bar for this event.

So to sum it all up here's my choice for the two best:

Who do you guys think had the best and worst styles of the night? Let me know in the comments. Later! <3

One of Those Days

Don't you ever have one of those perfect days? One of those days where everything goes absolutely right, where you have no plans to stress you out, all the laundry is done, and you could literally sit around in those comfy pants and a tank top. That's the kind of day I'm having. It's what I like to call a lazy day.
Now you're probably wondering what any of that has to do with fashion, and to be honest it's more about being unfashionable. Days like this were made for being comfortable more than looking good.

This is kind of what my outfit today looks like, except I'm lounging and not a size 4. This particular outfit is actually for sale (the whole thing, not JUST the pants or JUST the top) in US sizes up to a medium (that part does me no good). I would love to have more days like today. To be fair, wouldn't we all? Anyways, that pretty much covers everything I wanted to talk about today. Later! <3

I Do Adore Dior

Okay, above is a party dress. I know, we're not talking about just ANY dress though. Nope. This dress is a Christian Dior original from his 2012 Spring collection. I love this outfit. From the dress, to the shoes, to the earrings. The dress comes just slightly above the knee, it gives the dress a bit of modesty to go with the light plunge at the neck. I can imagine this dress paired with my metallic heels, chandelier earrings, my black cardigan, and a small black clutch to make the perfect party dress. I think I'm in love! What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments. Later! <3

My Flubs

Alright, so above I've posted a personal photo of mine from when I was a little younger. Just what I promised yesterday. I look at this photograph and think something along the lines of, "Well, I was young and it at least looks comfortable." Sounds like a good excuse if nothing else. I call this look "Teenage Angst". The jeans that bunch together in all the wrong places and make it look like there are waves in them as they trace a false form down my legs. Besides the fact that my hoodie is Cradle of Filth, the colors I chose, along with my dark hair completely washed out any color my face or hands may have had.

Now to be fair, I don't look like a total trainwreck here. I try not to let photos be taken when I look like a total freak show. I also don't dress like this anymore, or else I really wouldn't have a leg to stand on for writing this blog. That's a whole different conversation though isn't it?

To get to one solid point of this post, be careful of the colors you wear. If you're extremely pale like myself, stay away from super dark colors that might make you look like a ghost walking around in the dark. Just be aware of the colors you wear and how they look on you. We tend to ignore how colors look on us if we really like the article of clothing or the color of the piece. Try asking for someone else's opinion of your outfit if you're unsure.

Please don't take this as stop being unique or to stop dressing how you like. Just keep some tips in mind. That simple. Later! <3

Once Upon A Dress

Alright, let me start off by telling you a quick story:

I had every intention of telling you about a fashion fiasco of my very own. Sadly, my Facebook was not working so well today and I was unable to get into my photos or much of anything else. Since this was the case, I couldn't share my faux pas with you. So instead, I'm going to show you the wedding dress that I believe is the dress to end all fairy tales and starts the happily ever after process.

Okay, so this is from the Alfred Angelo Dream in Color Collection. This dress comes in a variety of colors (including Once Upon A Time) to go with any color pallet the bride should choose. My favorite color is the Berry, which is a very deep purple/red. With all the options of color, the weaved backing, the semi-cathedral train, the optional sleeves and the beautiful bottom beading; this dress takes the cake. It is offered in sizes ranging from 2 to 28 to make a beautiful fit for any bride without being too tight in all the wrong places. Also a dress not to break the bank, it comes at a price LESS than $1,500. Okay so let's get to the part where I stop teasing and telling and start actually showing!

This is style number 1193, pictured here in Berry and I have posted a link to this dress below. Feel free to check this site out for more than just this piece or if you are getting married, Congratulations! Later! <3

DIY Review

Alright, so below I've posted a link to a cute idea to revise your old shirts, your boyfriend's old shirts, your ex-boyfriend's old shirts he left laying around your place, or a new shirt that you've decided you just didn't care for once you get home. I have not yet tried this walk-through, but I am definitely interested. This got my attention while I was researching for projects to do with my niece, and since I've done similar DIY projects before this seemed like a cute way to revamp those old shirts we both have laying around. This would seem to be a project that could work for anyone, would be adjustable to how tight or loose they would want it, and could be used on any basic t-shirt style.

Not that this is a perfect idea for everyone, but I personally think this is a very cute way to modify those clothes we don't fit in or don't care for after the purchase. If anyone tries this out before I get to it, let me know how it works out for you. As for me, I will post about this again once I get the opportunity to check it out. Later! <3

And in the Beginning

Welcome to the first post on my brand new blog! We'll be getting down to fashion reviews, things I like, and other things in my next post. This is just to say hey and make sure everything is working and looking the way I want. Celebrity fashions aren't really where I'm concerned, mostly just to make a collection of things I like, things I think are "faux pas" and mainly just have my opinion out there for the world.

A few things about me:
My name is Faye and I'm from a relatively small town in Missouri. My favorite color is purple. Not sure what else anyone would need to know that would tie into fashion that you won't learn as time passes.

So I guess that's all for today, since I have to go make dinner. Later! <3
