Stylish with Substance

Glamour argues that the black, short blazer makes Cindy Crawford look square, and the white, long blazer is slimming.

P-shaw! Cindy doesn't need to be slimmed! I object!

We argue that the short blazer is a slightly better fit for this particular woman. She is tall and slim. The "boxiness" gives her the look of curves. I say she looks curvy and sexy. In the other picture, she looks tall and thin, sure, but don't give in to the media and assume that is always best.

For tall, slim, or hipless girls, go for shorter, fitted blazers. You want the look of curves, and yes, wide will do it for you.

Granted, a long white blazer, paired with a low-cut black tank would be perfect for ME, because I am struggling with weight issues right now. I still love the look of curves, and bigger girls still need to accentuate them, we need the look of a WAIST. How WE should wear the first blazer, put a lighter or contrasted color underneath. That is the one of the best tips most of us can take from the 2nd picture.

Another detail to pay attention to, see the pink underneath that rolled up sleeve? It's a delicious detail, and also helps accentuate the curves. While we're on the topic of details, that scarf on the second Cindy is a worth-while accessory!

So, yes, both are DO. Pay attention to your own body type and sexy desires (oh, you know what I mean).

While we're chatting about this. Look at those wide leg trousers with pointy shoes, see how delish? It's a much better look than the boring, straight jeans with a boring round-toe boot!

I'm sorry this is being posted so long after fashion week. I've had many busy things in my life. Now on to it!

New York Fall 2005 Fashion Week's Heatherette Show

The theme was on "toy dolls." The line is the creation of former-cowbow and club kid duo, Traver Rains and Richie Rich. In spite of their wild designs, or because of, they've clothed the likes of Lil' Kim, Britney Spears, Pink, Justin Timberlake, Paris Hilton, Gwen Stefani, and even Alicia Keys.

But amidst the colors, Care Bears and head-dresses, there were a few great singular pieces at this show in February.

Here is a stunning dress suited for the modern-adult fairy-princess. There was a long gown that had lovely points, but it didn't make the grade like this gem. Want more like it? There is a very similar purple one, although hidden underneath wintery gaudiness.

Here is one of my favorite pieces. I would so wear this dorky throw-back to school days. It reminds me of my favorite television character. This lovely-orange cardigan features a doll's head on the right side. It also features a large, full doll on the back - unfortunate for those who'd wish it to be understated. It's still very cute, and if I had money for designer wear, I'd buy it and wear it.

These boots are probably not to be worn by you or me, but they are very interesting. They are an ankle boot, with strap-like pump detail. It looks like a lovely pink pump with an orange sock. It's innovating.
