Bad Las Vegas Fashion- March Madness

I feel like Cher in Clueless, but please people, what is it with the khaki cargo shorts. Today my BF and I went for a nice lunch and a walk. We live Downtown, so we soon found that we were in the midst of March Madness extravaganza. I decided to play a game of how many people can we count wearing Khaki cargo shorts while walking home. We counted 82 pairs. 82 pairs!!! Why do men think that they look stylish wearing this get up. You look like a complete wanker, and might as well be walking around in plaid pajama pants and a white tank top. Step away from the cargo shorts circa 1992 and put something else on. There are many varied outfits that one could throw on and be just as comfortable, with a hit of chic. I promise you if you have a ceremonial burning of this horrid trend that has never gone away, then your dates and contact with women will increase by 20% immediately.

General Francophile Posting

I'm thrilled to see the news that Audrey Tautou is doing the next installation of Chanel no. 5 advert. Nicole Kidman's commercial was lovely, but this should be perfect. (insert, beautiful French woman, Paris, and Chanel, is that heaven or what!?)

Finally!

This may be Citygirl's first gardening post, and I only wish that I could get myself to the nursery to plant a veg garden, but living in the desert, does have some drawbacks other than horribly dry skin, and always being thirsty. Nothing really grows here, which I'm sure it could be done, and there are people right now that have lovely gardens here, I just simply haven't attempted anything that elaborate. I can kill a common house plant in record time. I read Alice Waters' plea to the White House when Obama was elected, for a sustainable garden. These photos today of a breaking ground of a veg garden, is just the kind of thing that keeps me loving the new first family, even if there have been some interesting decisions made in the first 70 days or so. Bravo first family!! I can't wait to see the results!

Alexander McQueen, Zoolander, and possible genius of Will Farrell

I have a lot to say about this current "Ready To Wear" collection by the fantastic Alexander McQueen. I find it hilarious that this is the collection that he chose to show as ready to wear. How funny is that?? Second, I believe this collection was first shown on the Will Ferrell runway as the Derilique collection. I'm not sure if he is commenting on where we are, or where we will be very shortly.
I don't want this to be a negative review of the show at all, it was amazing, a beautiful show, and I would seriously wear each and every piece, even if it meant that I would look like a tart. The recycling, broken glass thing was quite amazing, and just like a good film, is making me have all sorts of other thoughts about life, and fashion, which is sort of what one should do after seeing such a show.
Bravo Lee, bravo.

Barbie+Colette=cool

I wasn't too keen on all this Barbie 50th anniversary business, until I saw these windows for Colette. I'm not sure why. I like Barbie, had many of them as a girl, she is a great girl etc. I just simply wasn't into the whole anniversary as this massive global ad campaign. Next they will be selling Barbie perfume, and cosmetics for women, and that would put me over the edge. However, this window display for Colette is super cool, and I only wish I was in Paris to see it.

Horribly Inconsistant

My apologies for the last weeks lack of posting, I'm excited to delve into posting tonight and through the weekend, life happens sometimes!

Dolce in Milan

I don't know if I'm needing some opulence now in the midst of all the doom and gloom, but this collection looked so fantastic and fun, it's the first time in a long time, I have wanted to put on red lipstick and pull my hair back! This whole collection doesn't look exactly like this, but I love the print tucked into a really feminine look, somehow even though I wouldn't wear a t-shirt with anyone's face on it, this seems perfectly appropriate.
