What's better than an uber-hot celeb with impeccable fashion sense? An uber-hot celeb doing the horizontal mambo with another uber-hot celeb with impeccable fashion sense...and possibly creating uber-hot munchkins with embedded stylish DNA.

The Original. Posh and Becks did it first, did it best, still do it nasty. Stay in the US...please?

New favs. I loved Good Charlotte wayyy back when (circa 2000). My cousin went to high school with them and I'd go to the shows at these venues no bigger than a broom closet. Needless to say my tastes in music developed and they sold out a bit. BUT, that doesn't take away from the fact that one of my favorite fashionistas is the future of MILF thanks to one of the Madden twins and their tattooed, fun sized, pop-punkiness.

I want to be them when I grow up/fall in love/dress for a formal occasion. Their wedding raised the bar for my own epic fantasy fete brewing in my head.

I want to be them now. Not necessarily the Sienna/Jude ex-coupling, but the character couple, Nikki/Alfie. Wonderful Chaotic Disaster. I want to date a guy that can set the world on fire, even if I get burnt to a crisp in the process.

Not Factory Girl. Edie and Andy. They weren't really a couple per se, but god were they cool.

Doppelganger

First and foremost.....Yotam Solomon. If there were a shoe equivalent of a tantric orgasm...this is it. omfg.

Doppelganger- (orig. German) 1) a ghostly double of a living person, especially one that haunts its fleshly counterpart. 2) a person who has the same name as another, (syn. double, alter-ego)

I have been absolutely obsessed with these shoes ever since I saw the Olsens sporting them.

Lavnin is a shoe god...I shall bown down and worship. Yes... I still get goosebumps when I see them in photos. So Hot Right Now.

JACKPOT!!!! Alice + Olivia for payless $38.00??!?!?!?!?!?! I'm going after work today!!!

Side note: I really miss jorts weather. I just want to rock my jorts!!! That top is sick, p.s.

Aequitas, Veritas

"And Shepherds we shall be. For thee, my Lord, for thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee and teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine..." So Boondock Saints is one of my all time favorite movies...and oh so Irish! (Veritas= Truth, Aequitas=Fairness)

Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus....so hot....period.

I highly recommend this movie for today....this or Departed. Sick gun scenes + Boston= St. Patty's?

1.0z pint Guinness + 1.0z shot Baileys + 1.0z shot Jameson

Directions: Fill a pint glass 2/3 full with Guinness. Fill a double shot glass with the Bailey's and Jameson. Drop the shot glass into the pint of Guinness, and chug.

The episode that changed so many lives....Gingervitis.....Daywalker....are now colloquialisms

Even Marc Jacobs gets into the Irish Spirit. I would totes wear these...Celtic Shoe Porn?

Trying to avoid this scenario tonight. I can't wait for this holiday to fall on a non-work night!

The one day of the year Corned Beef sounds/looks appetizing. P.S. Those cupcakes look damn good....Cheers! rather.....Sláinte! (to your health)

Hey Ladies.....

Why can't it be warm yet? I want to wear my jorts so badly....

Tallulah Morton. She's not really one of my favorite models, but she is 1) a hair flipper, as shown above and in several spreads, which is always fun, 2) seemingly normal for being discovered at age 13. I have a small obsession with models/celebs that seem like they're always having a ball and not hung up on themselves/their life. In this spread by Marc Hunter she is pretty damn hot. I like when she's in cobra snake albums too.

Kate has redeemed herself. I am wowed. Those shoes.....I die.

Britney Spears actually looking incredible...I have no idea if this is an older photo though....

Bijou Phillips is breath-takingly gorgeous and has had such an insane life/childhood. Prior to becoming a highly successful model at age 13, and/or singer/actress, she was technically orphaned and homeless due to her inept/insane/drug addicted parents....John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas and his model wife. She was in the music video for "Wrong Way" by Sublime, followed by roles in Almost Famous, Bully, Tart, Octane, Havoc, and the most gruesome horror scene in Hostel II. Basically....so hot right now.

Loud Irish Punk

Well... St. Patrick's Day is tomorrow! I can only think of the perfect storm of intoxication this day designates....Jamison, car bombs, Guinness, Baileys, Strongbow, and McDonald's Shamrock Shake! Haha. For the rest of the quasi-responsible world, most heavy drinking took place Saturday (Mach 14), the unofficial celebration of St. Patty's, noted by the large amount of pub crawls and bar loops. Of course, yours truly was in the festive spirit.


Nothing kicks off hours of unnecessary day drinking like loud Celtic punk music and/or the theme song from Boondock Saints blasting at max volume. Angry fiddler + gnarly yelling= mosh pit, alcohol fueled perfection.

I decided (against my better judgement) to showcase some of the choice photos from the day/night.

There are no words that can summarize the ridiculousness of the day aside from this....

Taken at roughly 11pm Saturday. My friends are such classy kids....clearly not sober and enjoying the underlying alcoholism associated with the Irish Saint. They are the catalyst for every wonderful hilarious night of debauchery.

This photo was not staged. It is remarkable how it completely catches the essence of my friend that loathes his cultural/ethnic background on this holiday (the impact of South Park on his life is constantly debated), and ManCandy...camera shy and hustlin'.

Me and Anna-banana-badass...my usual partner in crime/amazing photographer and the glowing green staff at our local watering hole. Photo taken at roughly midnight. Ye be shamrocking.....

Edge of ????

I just watched half of The Edge of Love last night (stolen computer version) and so far (ok I know watching movies half-way through is a total faux-pas but Mancandy came over...) its actually really very good. Apparently, its loosely based on poet Dylan Thomas in WWII times, but my overwhelming draw to it was the main stars...Kiera Knightly and Sienna Miller.


It's open for limited release in the US next Friday, March 20, 2009. I was quite excited when I first heard about the movie because it basically translates to lots of photo-ops of my two favs looking amazingly stylish and badass in the same locale/frame. I noticed (a.k.a while stalking gossip sites) the two actresses had been photographed together more in recent months, but I wasn't aware it was for the movies' promotion. Silly me, I think the fashionable just flock-to and/or befriend each other due the cosmic awesomeness of their irrespective styles (I can dream....). Alas, The Edge of Love was released at Cannes and then most of Europe throughout the summer/fall 2008.

I wish they had worked out....so hot, such complementing styles, and so seemingly cool. Sienna's outfit is amazing. I would give my first born for the dress and boots. I loved them in Alfie too! That will be next on my list of movies to watch. Stupid, Stupid Jude.

This photo alone inspired me to impulsively purchase a leopard scarf and led to an extended hunt of the little boys department (of every store I stepped foot in) for a blazer like that...

Style perfection. Sienna looks so damn happy in so many staged/pap photos. I envy her disposition. It always looks like she's her own best friend. Regardless of how true my theory is to actual reality, she just seems so cool in real life.

I assume they dress themselves. Kudos, ladies. No single stylist could be responsible for this perfection...not even Rachel Zoe (although one could make the argument). TGIF...baby.

Sunny Days Ahead

My apologies for not posting yesterday. Take my word for it, you wouldn't have wanted me to. I had a bad day to eclipse most bad days and was in an awful mood by 11pm last night. I didn't get the job I so desperately wanted/needed, had a shitty day of work followed by a promo that involved hire-ups in the company (nerve-racking!), a date cancelled on me, annnd it was the anniversary of a good friend's death. Normally I could wash my hands of such suck-y-ness, but shutting the door to my office and crying felt so much more appropriate and/or necessary. BUT, today is a new day and an extra cup of coffee coupled with the fact that the weekend is only a day away is making me much more chipper and my sanity is restored.

Note: there is less cohesiveness to this post, and more sheer inspiration/awe.

Who would have ever thought Mick would have such gorgeous spawn? Theodora Richards....(I wonder if people call her Teddy?....Nip/tuck reference anyone?)

If it wasn't for Lily Allen wearing it, I would have never thought 1) that this coat could be remotely cool/attractive when on, and 2) that it would look so badass with green pointy peter pan boots.

Sometimes a bad day just calls for a good movie...one of my faves-Life Aquatic. I watched it the day before I took my LSATS to calm my nerves and take my mind off things. Such a quintessential Wes Anderson flick...looove all of his movies and also recommend the Royal Tennenbaums.

Hayden Panettiere's awesome tat. I want to get another sooo badly. I have one in an undisclosed location and want to possibly get 2 more. I want to get "carpe diem" either on my wrist or on my side/back like above. The wrist seems more appropriate for a motto and guarantees I will see it everyday...I mean, isn't that the point? I also said if I qualified for Boston (the marathon...yes I know I'm insane), I would get wings on my leg/ankle. I missed qualifying by 4 minutes, but the idea to tattoo something (maybe a nice 26.2?) signifying the completion of a marathon is still very appealing... I might just have to do something for my 23rd b-day....

For fans of Dimitri Martin.....

MTV "Reality"

I tuned in (as usual) to my Monday Night guilty pleasure....The City, to get the latest on my favorite vapid ladies. I was surprised to learn there's only one episode left of The City! I wonder if MTV will be picking it up for another season....or, even better, if Whitney will stay in NYC....


My favorite raisin face with girl crush. I had no idea they were even friendly. Rachel Zoe looks better these days ( I think someone fixed her "jowls" because her face was looking a lot worse a few months ago) and of course, Ice-queen looks frostily hot. Side note: I'm getting my hair done in 2 weeks!!! Legally Blond is back with a vengeance baby!!

I want her hair and wardrobe....I love love love this blazer.

Mischa actually looking good for a change. Even though she dropped the weight she was criticized for a few months back...she was looking scary and not very cute during fashion week (NYC fashion week). Here, I think she looks great. I could do without the converses, but to each her own. The SATC feather headband is an awesome touch and like the top/blazer combo.

Found out today only one more season of the Hills before they all call it quits! I'm very sad, but I think for their careers' sake it's probably a good move (not that any of them have real careers aside for LC's fashion line). I guess the ratings dropped last season because viewers realized how fake and scripted it all is/was, but I totally indulge in the fake reality of these chickadees.

My apologies for not posting more outfits recently. My 3 week long illness(es) and snow gave way to some pretty un-inspiring outfits to say the least. I promise I will post soon though. In the meantime, here's a pic from last Friday night's shenanigans out at the local watering hole. Homegirl in the middle had such an awesome necklace she got a local jeweler. The yellow combo was so hot and so spring! Yours truly on the right. You can't really see in this pic, but that top is backless...and a very deep purple. I paired it with gray skinny jeans and fuchsia pumps to match the clutch I'm holding. Oh, and I broke down and started tanning again. I'm shaming myself as I'm typing.

Workin Birkin

I'm sure every blogger mildly concerned with fashion has dedicated a good post or two to the iconic Jane Birkin. Having a highly coveted, expensive, Hermes bag named after her aside, she is everything hipster, boho-chic, 1960's style embodied. So hot, so effortlessly cool, so...French?


She oozes sex icon, but not in the Brigitte Bardot way. Powerful but understated sexy that all women secretly (or not so secretly) strive for.

Her appeal is almost as far reaching as her impact on fashion and style. She also spawned two significant models/fashionistas/(insert other entertainment sector here); Lou Dillon and Charlotte Gainsbourg.

In the above and below pics, Ms. Birkin is photographed with baby daddy #1, Serge (Serje? more french?)Gainsbourg. Note: Birkin has another daughter, Kate Barry, who has stayed out of the limelight.

This photo is why I adore/admire Jane Birkin. Timelessly Hot.

She also epitomises Bangs done right. I don't want to compare her to any modern actresses/models, but a Liv Tyler-Zooey Deschanel-Erin Wasson hybrid/platypus is the best I can come up with.

In addition to starring in movies (one of which involved girl-on-girl action with aforementioned sexpot Brigitte Bardot) she was also a singer/song writer....very good and very sixties folk-y.

Just amazing. When the current state of role models/fashion muses gets me down (cough Lindsey Lohan/Paris Hilton/Jessica Simpson...cough), I like to take a look back at women whom inspired me long ago. My friends can vouch....my apartment is decorated with timeless art (i.e. framed posters) of some of these women....Marilyn Monroe, Ursula Andress (the original Bond girl), Audrey Hepburn, Jane Birkin...and I will continue to support their badass legacy.
