Beauty: Effie Trinket hair lust

I want light pink hair so bad after seeing so many Effie Trinket pics. It’s so subtle and classy, as opposed to this. Cringe!

There’s some kind of sick pleasure I get out of the fashion in the capitol from the Hunger Games books. It seems so fun, cool and classy without being ridiculous, much like every single afflicted suburban ‘alternative’ kid who dyes their hair bright green or red.

I really like the way Kelly Osbourne has been dying her hair lately. She’s a pretty and classy gal, and her lightly dyed hair adds some colorful personality while maintaining her chic style. The way we wear our hair is a fashion statement anyways, and lightly colored hair, like lavender or pink, is subtly fun.

Maybe fashionistas will embrace the lightly colored hair sparked by the Hunger Games capitol kids and maybe Kelly Osbourne. I LOVE the light pink and light purple hair colors. I WANT. Now only if it wouldn’t (probably, people are so judgy about hair color) ruin my chances at finding a grown up job. Blerg.

 

Fashion: Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltrow by Terry Richardson for Harper’s Bazaar magazine

I love Gwyneth Paltrow. Her high society remarks are hilarious in a well-intentioned way. She has lived a very high society life, and I find it interesting to observe someone who lives in the upper echelons of society. I definitely admire her career success, lifestyle and family life.

Plus, she was in The Royal Tenenbaums, which is like the best movie ever.

These shots are from her recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar magazine. And holy shit, does she have a great body. I need to go to yoga more often.

She’s also relaunching her lifestyle website, GOOP, that will include city guides of big international cities and new applications.

Read Gwyneth’s entire article at Harper’s Bazaar. She is wearing Alexander McQueen, Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci and Anthony Vaccarello.

Fashion: Polyvore

My late night meanderings through the internet on this cold, dark evening have brought me to polyvore.com, a place where you can create your own style pages using a drag-and-drop hybrid of online shopping and fashion magazine features. A-MA-ZING. Pinterest but more fashion-y. I like it.

I had previously only been to polyvore to browse clothing, but I had never noticed this awesome interactive community. You can even ask for fashion advice from other fashionistas all over the world like “How can I make this shirt look supa dupa cool?” Average response time is 21 minutes. Fashion crises, avert yourselves!

You can also create your own style sets and collections by browsing through Polyvore’s stock of clothing, accessories, shoes and embellishments like print magazine articles to make the pages look like real magazines.

What a cool way to let the masses create their own magazine pages filled with style! You can like other people’s fashion sets as well and follow your favorite Polyvore fashion-magazine-stylists.

I have only just created an account and am excited to make a page! Do you have a Polyvore account? Am I super behind on the times? Let’s be friends! Follow at twentypoorandfabulous.

Fashion: Animal Circles

Animal Circles.

This t-shirt design called “Animal Circles” is my best friend’s independent-designer-boyfriend’s design. For some reason, the little animals remind me of mahjong tile pictures, if the pictures were all of disturbingly cute chubby animals that you just wanna squeeze a little too hard. If you like this design, vote for it at threadless.com so people can revel in its beauty right on their own chests.

Besides, It could be the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for your boyfriend. Because men love t-shirts and everyone hates those fucking worthless teddy bears in a bag.

Fashion: Shit Fashion Girls Say

So many spawns, so many great (and so true) videos. These are my absolute favorites so far though. There’s even a part 2!!!

“Grace Coddington is the unsung hero of ‘The September Issue’.”

 

“She kept calling it ‘Rodart’.” “She looked like ‘Grey Gardens’.”

Fashion: Jean-Paul Gaultier and Amy Winehouse

 The death of amazing singer Amy Winehouse left us all with a little hole in our soul parts. However, her memory will be honored in Jean-Paul Gaultier’s SS 2012 show, as she is the muse who inspired his new line.

The hair is styled like her signature beehive (tear!) and the clothes mimic Amy’s legendary 50s and 60s style.

Gaultier comments on Amy’s inspiring style, saying that “What she stands for above all, is uniqueness. Both in music and the way she dressed, she mixed a great many influences.”

Fashion: Toy bag

20120125-000927.jpg

I’m obsessed with this bag. I’m naming it Toy Bag, because I can’t find it anywhere on the Internet. It’s a little bigger than an iPhone! It reminds me of those toy purses we had as little girls that we would put stickers and toy lipstick in. I absolutely had to buy it, if only for the sake of nostalgia. And so I can pretend to be Cher Horowitz again. Spring is going to be colorful and wonderful.

It’s made from shiny, fabulous plastic so, you know, it can wipe clean when we spill our juice boxes (cocktails).

You can find the Toy Bag at Target in blue, pink and orange for $9.99.
