Obscene Slogan T-shirt Wearer.... You aren't cool.

Now that I have been positive in my last couple of blogs it is time to critique one particular style that has got to go; slogan t-shirts. The only reason this topic was even brought up was because today on my way to class I passed a guy wearing this slogan tee.

I was so appalled I scrunched up my face, walked by him and said, "tuhh... how pathetic."

So now that I've gotten that out, lets just look at the whole slogan tee trend as a whole...(and pray the trend ends as quick as the group Baha Men did.)

Ladies, yes men ARE probably looking at your giant fake boobs without you wearing a tacky t-shirt like this one. Stop advertising the fact you spent all your graduation money to get implants that are disproportionate to your body in the first place. You do need a brain and maybe then you could have used it to never purchase this t-shirt.

And men (much like the one I passed on the way to class), no one cares nor believes the arrow that is pointing to below your belt. Obviously if you feel the need to broadcast it, then most likely it is false advertisement. The only good thing when you buy a slogan t-shirt with an offensive saying on it is that us girls don't have to waste our time engaging in any kind of verbal conversation with you. We can just look at you.

The only thing you are promoting ladies and gentlemen who wear obscene slogan t-shirts is: promiscuity, a lack of morals, cockiness, and I am sorry, but trashiness. Why label yourself? Let people discover who you are without reading your t-shirt. 

But if you still feel compelled to buy one of these awful shirts because you are feeling that insecure and you think you will have more friends when you wear it, march right into the closest Spencer's and find the one that best labels you. And when you waste your money on it, go home, put it on and get someone to punch you directly in the face for ever thinking it was okay. 

Keep it classy,

Paris Couture Week Launched...

Instead of having the Monday blues I have just the opposite. Why? Well for starters tonight Gossip Girl will return to the CW and boy have I missed the socialite drama, the high fashion and  mostly looking at Nate Archibald. 

But more importantly today starts the week of Paris couture. This is where you are now probably thinking okay? So why do I really care about that? Or you are probably wondering what the word "couture" even means. (Not going to lie I looked up the definition). Hey I said I wasn't a fashion expert and don't pretend you knew the exact definition. Well, according to Google "couture" means, "high fashion designing and dressmaking."

So I welcome you to day one of Paris Couture Week which just happens to be the MOST expensive week on the fashion calender. 

Alexis Mabille launched his collection in 2005 and you better believe his designs are walking the runway in Paris as we speak! Known for his skillfully sewn bows and intricate lace, his designs are what kicked off the show!

While I do love these designs there were a few that really made me wonder if anyone would ever wear it besides on the runway or if invited to the latest award show. For example:

But one thing I appreciate is originality and Mabille stands true to just that. 

Quoted by NYTimes: "Alexis Mabille has a more sugary approach, but he also has a practical take on smart dressing. Among slithery dresses in subtle “off” colors, like petrol with leaf green, was a strong dose of white. Fresh as the flowers that decorated the models’ braided ponytails, the outfits were dual purpose. A long skirt would slip off to reveal a peppy short dress, delicately decorated — just right for a modern bride who wants to combine tradition with modernity, which is the strength of Mr. Mabille."
