motorcycle mama


I saw a shot of Taylor Momsen in the new Teen Vogue (similar to the one above except she's wearing a leather jacket over the outfit); and while I was scanning the page I realized- I must have her shoes!!

a close up:


and more motorcycle boots:




I've been seeing alot of leather/strap-laden/zippered/sexy boots/heels posts on peoples blogs recently. I think this is an epidemic.

[EDIT] I found out more about Taylor's shoes through Gossip Girl Closet. The shoes are Nine West Cuzza Booties (Cuzza??), and you can find them for sale on Amazon for only $45!! Sadly they don't ship to Canada, but I found them and bought them on Ebay! They are so bootiful...

Movie Star Style: Pretty In Pink


I got so excited while watching 'Pretty In Pink" that I started working on this post before the movie even ended.
Angie, played by Molly Ringwald, shops at the Sally Ann, sews her own clothing, wears prints that clash completely, and most importantly, wears lots and lots of PINK. She probably has drawer upon drawer of jewlery, and reworks clothing whenever she gets tired of it. She's eclectic, eccentric and a total trendsetter (maybe not to the 'rich girls' in the movie...). She has a pink car too!




As soon as I saw her in the pink mens' shirt I thought "AHHH I TOTALLY HAVE TO DO THAT!!" so I have to go to Value Village asap for a big mens shirt, and to Fabricana for some fabric dye... it's too easy!

be my little rock n' roll queen

a rock star, olsen-twin, celeb, grunge socialite all wrapped into one- Dsquared²'s fall 09 line is pretty easy to attain; all you need is a starbucks cup, a cigarette (lit or unlit) and some leather pants.
i like how you could just throw this stuff on and walk out the door yet look fairly chic and put together (in a cut off jeans with heels kind of way...).

How To Prevent Wrinkles?


Sensitive and dry skin is more prone to wrinkles, therefore, women with sensitive skin should not use soap, they should always clean their face with cleansing milk. Hot or chilled water should never be used on these types of skin. Pat a rich cream on the face every night before going to bed.
Do not massage it in as this will further stretch the skin. To make this cream, in a small bottle of cold cream, add 1drop of lanolin, 2 drops of almond oil and 4 drops each of vitamins A & 0, mix well, and use it. Since winter further dries up the skin and gives rise to more wrinkles, you should take very good care of your skin, during this season. A good wrinkle chaser is egg white beaten with a few drops of honey and lime juice. Allow it to dry before rinsing off. Mashed banana mixed with a little honey and applied as a pack on the face, helps in avoiding skin tautness, which leads to wrinkling. Protein deficiency also leads to wrinkling also.
A lack of proteins in the body can lead to early wrinkling of the skin, therefore, always eat protein rich foods. Poor vision can be the cause of gathering lines around the outer eye areas known as crow's feet. To remove these, apply daily egg white mixed with honey and a little cream found on top of boiled and cooled milk. Wrinkles around the mouth can be an unconscious expression of concentration or disapproval. To remove these lines, dampen a piece of cloth with warm water and apply it to the face to open the pores, pat in some oil, apply the warm cloth again for 2 minutes and then again pat in some more oil. By spreading the line gently with your fingers as you apply oil around the mouth you will make them appear less noticeable apply them horizontally and do not use force, do this for several months to achieve results. Tiny groovy lines on the upper lips are associated with poorly fitting dentures. Also, prolonged use of Vitamin B 12 may also cause them.
