Hit me baby, one more time!

Wow, am I ever glad denim is becoming a "trend" again. (Not that it's ever totally unpopular, because everyone wears jeans, but we'll put it this way - I'm glad I can wear my denim jacket again without getting (verbally) beaten up by some Prada-wearing chump.) I'm especially excited with all the new innovative ways to wear denim this season. Just please don't pull a K-Fed/Britney (you all remember that picture, right? Matching denim-on-denim! *shudders*). 

Thankfully, some celebs know how to do it right.


All three of these ladies know how to make a statement with just one gorgeous piece. I also like how their looks are all undone, casual, rock-chic. That's what denim this season should be about!



Then there are the not-so-fortunate fashion-challeneged girls...




Let's clear this up: denim-on-denim is NEVER acceptable, ever. Got it, Jessica? It makes you look like an 80's love-child slob and is embarrassing for both yourself and your little girl. And, apparently, Hayden doesn't have a clue how to dress to suit her body type, because both her jeans and her shirt are incredibly unflattering and hit all the wrong places. Use your denim for good, not evil!



I have to admit I have a serious case of denim-lust right now. I yearn for a happier time, filled with terrible 90s catch-phrases, the last of the leg-warmers, and greasy, gelled hair. ..... Too bad I'll soon be a starving college kid, living in dismal 2010. :'( You guys will have to buy all these fabu pieces and wear them, just for me, mmmmkay?

  1. Oh i cannot wait. This blog is basically what was running through my mind as i 'tried' to fall asleep last night :D

    Hahaha, okay okay, jay kay. But to be serious now; I love your blog, the posts, the random subjects, the humor, and so forth. It's entirely unique. Despite even the fact that you're such a girl sometimes (don't worry, i adore it). Thumbs up, I (a guy) even stayed completely interested throughout it XD <---- (tried to do the X face, but it clearly works horribly on blogger). Dare i say, you even inspired me to touch up on my fashion? Or for better words, 'try' to touch up on my fashion, because I just may end up looking like poor Hayden.

  2. Oh lala. This is such a super duper post and I have to say that I LOVE YOUR LAYOUT. (I think I forgot to comment my adoration last time.) (Fun fact: when I was four, I desperately wanted to be an astronaut.) (Fun Fact: I want to meet an alien.) (Yes, this all relates to my adoration towards your layout due to the fact that it has a space background OF COURSE.)

    And go denim! Although I seem to only wear denim shorts these days...

  3. DENIMDENIMDENIM

    god i love that double denim is back though. it makes wearing denim jackets/shirts SO MUCH EASIER. as long as you wear them with brown/tan accessories, you look like you have an insider's knowledge on the 70s trend rather than that you're just having a bad wardrobe day.
    awsm.

    btw no worries, cartilage piercings can take up to two YEARS to heal so i may as well start fiddling about with the piercing now and get any infection over and done with :') of course i'm joking.
