Outfit Pick: H&M Under $200!

Friday, March 5th, 2010

One of the things that has always been a huge drag about H&M, is that you can’t shop online (unless you speak German). You can however, check out their stuff, and with the addition of their Fashion Studio, you can now waste hours of your precious time mixing and matching various outfits on an underwear-clad model (think paper dolls for big girls). You can even choose a ‘head’ for your model in order to emulate ‘your’ coloring, to perhaps get a better idea of what the outfits might in fact look like on you. I’ve taken the liberty of putting together this little ensemble, which is a most reasonable two hundred bucks for everything. It’s also a good transitional outfit from winter to spring. That is all. (Price of jeans estimated at $39.95)

Weigh-In: Guest Blogger Laura Coronado’s Copper Obsession

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Fiona Paxton Copper 'Sofi' Long Necklace $357.27

Cover Girl Queen Collection 3-in-1 Nail Polish in 'Copper Penny' $3.09

Inspired by Nine West’s Spring Collection, I am now obsessed with the copper. Spring Blues may the most popular upcoming trend, but wouldn’t copper make an excellent accent color? Think about this: an Alice and Wonderland dusty blue dress paired with a layered copper chain necklace; a blue denim shirt worn with giant copper earrings; or a bright turquoise romper worn with metallic copper heels. These looks could steal the show! Are you interested now?

Above are a few of my favorite copper picks for Spring 2010. I drool over this copper swimsuit by Marc Bouwer; it’s just so fashion forward and bold. More than likely, I will sport my love for copper with jewelry, including the Fiona Paxton Copper ‘Sofi’ Long Necklace from Asos, Candy Heart Earrings from AUNALI Artisan Metal, at Etsy.com and Copper Tone Wood Bangles from Target. If you’re hesitant to give copper a try, you can experiment with the look in a small dose with this Cover Girl Queen Collection Nail Polish, available at Target. So…are you in?

Aside from the fact that I kinda want to live here? The shoe selection is ridiculous (think Vivienne Westwood, Proenza Schouler, and Dries Van Noten). A must-see if you’re in NYC, but if not? Surf a little shoe porn in the meantime…

Currently Coveting: BESS Rollover Vintage Leather Boots

Friday, February 19th, 2010

BESS Rollover Vintage Leather Boots $460

Not unlike my huge crush on Caleb Followill or an intense craving for Cadbury Creme Eggs (gross), I was sure my boot-lust was simply a ‘this too shall pass’ scenario. Boy was I stupid. Maybe it’s a hearkening back to my 80’s art school roots, but if loving these is wrong? I don’t wanna be right.

Ten Trends For Spring 2010

Monday, January 25th, 2010

Ten Trends For Spring 2010 (Click to Polyvore for details, where to buy and pricing.)

1. Lucite: It’s not just for strippers anymore.

2.  If you’ve got the legs, shorts are the shizznit for Spring.

3. Neutrals: Nude is the new black.

4.  Loving this lingerie inspired dress from Calypso. Note: The word inspiration is key; your bra is not a shirt.

5. Bright accessories add a modern glow to warm your winter gloom!

6.  Feminine is back, complete with pretty pastels and rows of ruffles.

7. Safari styles infuse a sense of adventure, and add a rough-hewn edge that balance out girlish silhouettes.

8.  From swimsuits to sandals, patterns and prints cover everything this season.

9.  Go for sheer sheaths and translucent tees, but do yourself (and us) a favor – wear something underneath.

10. The clog sandal is so super seventies? It makes me want to throw my car keys in the bowl…

Perfecksh: January Jones in Lanvin, and black satin Brian Atwood ‘Wagner’ pumps…with her dad. Too sweet! My best dressed runners up include Emily Blunt and Chloe Sevingy (I’m ready for the backlash on that one.) In my ‘worst’ column, I’ve placed Cher, Tina Fey and Heidi Klum. Yikes. Who’d you pick…?

Guest Blogger: Deka From “That’s Hideous!”

Friday, January 15th, 2010

I’ve wanted to feature a guest blogger on LASM for quite some time now, but had yet to come across someone that I felt was a good fit…and then I found That’s Hideous. It. Is. Love. Not only is hideous one of my most overused words, the stunning monstrosities that Deka features (including both human teeth jewelry and fetus accessories) are beyond. So get ready, because without further ado I present you with: ‘Gun Hoofs…’

German artist Iris Schieferstein is known for working with dead animal parts and piecing them together to create “a new face to death.” Because she’s an artist, I’m relieved to know that we probably won’t be seeing anyone actually wearing these. I think that PETA would go crazy, and why the guns?! Schieferstein is thought provoking, but definitely a bit scary.

Deka is the founder and creative force behind That’s Hideous, a fashion blog highlighting crazy design, drastically overpriced fashion and things that are just plain ugly.  She can be contacted at deka@thatshideous.com.
