Fashion: Kitty swimwear, nuff said

OBSESSED!

No, it’s not swimwear for your cat. They hate water silly!

This amazing cat swimwear is brought to you by Wildfox. They should definitely come out with calico and orange cat ones. A black cat would be way fierce too.

Fashion: Geri Halliwell’s Union Jack line

Yes please! Photo via Getty Images

YES YES YES YES!!!!

My 8-year-old Christmas list consisted of witch’s potion, magic spells, and Spice Girls clothes. Well, one of them has come true. FINALLY.

Geri Halliwell, formerly Ginger Spice or the one who left the group and subsequently ended my childhood innocence, is coming out with her own line of Union Jack clothes for Next. “The Union Jack dress was my favorite stage outfit and with everything that is happening this year such as the Olympics and the Jubilee it just felt the right time to design an updated version of the dress for my range with Next.”

They BETTER sell this stuff at H&M or Urban Outfitters. It’s our collective childhood dreams come true. Now all we need are some sick platforms and 4 friends to get this shit started. Girl Power, woooooo!!!!!!

Can we get a big designer to do an actual Spice Girls-inspired line? I would spend my yearly salary on it. Which isn’t saying much, but I would regardless.

Remember how everyone always wanted to be Baby? I had a sports bra so I had to be Sporty. She’s great and all, but I’m girly as fuck so it didn’t gel. But if you had a blonde friend, they “had to be baby”. Jerks! And now I just want to be all of them. So I will be. Ahh. the joys of growing up.

Here’s “Say You’ll Be There” for your nostalgic enjoyment.

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.

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.
