New Year

New Year by Karalyn Factor featuring wool coats

Taylor Momsen I hate you

 It is winter break and I have lots of free time and there are just some things that I have to say. Do you remember adorable little Cindy Lou Who? Well this is what she grew up to be: Super Trashy. Girl, you're 17 and you're taking fashion advice from Courtney Love. You're ridiculous.

Is this a mugshot?

Wish List

Wish List by Karalyn Factor on Polyvore.com

The Loubiton shoes are perfect for holiday parties. The Chanel necklace are the perfect accessory for any outfit! I love the size of the Louis Vuitton bag. It can hold everything I need! The one piece bathing suit is so chic and great for those holiday trips to visit relatives in Florida. The Burberry trench and scarf are perfect for the quick shopping trip for last minute gifts.

Flapper makeup

Here are some picures of 20's it girl Clara Bow and her famous look. The Roaring Twenties was the first time that makeup (other than facial powder) was seen as fashionable. Before cosmetics were reserved for "women of the night".

The look was characterized by dark eye makeup, dark lips, and thin eyebrows.

Inspiration from the 50's

Macy's Fashion Show with Nigel Barker

Today there was a fashion show at Macy's in center city. The best part; Nigel Barker from ANTM hosted it while promoting his new book which he signed. I was filming the show but then realized that my camera wasn't actually recording. Yea. Awesome. But do not fret for you did not miss much. All the clothes were pretty much from Jones New York which you can buy at Macy's, of course.

The wise words of Coco Chanel

 

Mme Chanel is one of the wisest women of her time. I want to share some of her words with you.

“A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous."

“As long as you know men are like children, you know everything!"

“A women who doesn't wear perfume has no future.”

"Where should wear perfume? Wherever one wants to be kissed."   

Finally Gucci pictures!

The worst dress. It looks native american. Way too much fringe.

Favorite Dress

Classic Black

Love those boots

Hot contrast

Fantastic colors with subtle fringe.

Gucci spring 2011

Today was the Gucci Spring 2011 show in Milan. I was very lucky to be one of the few who watched the show live via webcam. The show was pretty amazing and was deeply influenced by the '70's. The colors were vivid from orange to purple to teal. There was also classic neautrals and blacks. A reacurring theme was fringe which I was not crazy about and I'm not alone.

The shoes were gorgeous from stilettos to high boots. The mini dresses are all glamour with fringe and feathers. Since the show was today there is no lookbook or videos for me to post. I promise I will when they become available. It is not to be missed!

Can we please just talk about Kelly Osbourne for a minute?

Recently Kelly Osbourne has lost weight and completely changed her look. But now she has an advice book called Fierce and is on Joan River's show The Fashion Police. Well first I just want to welcome Kelly to the real world. Second I want to give her and everyone else this advice; just because you wear clothes doesn't make you a fashion expert.
