Love or Fug? Cat Eye Sunglasses

Clare — Sun, 27 Feb 2011 20:36:11 +0000

For years I have been sporting my oversized pseudo-celeb sunglasses but recently I have seen tons of cat eye glasses popping up. So what do you think? Do you love these feline frames or will you skip this catty trend?

RIP 80′s Shades

Clare — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 00:14:58 +0000

I bought my delightful 80′s inspired shades from a street vendor for $5

they were perfect.

today I discovered them at the bottom of my ridiculously large handbag

a crumpled, broken mess *insert sad face here*

80′s shades, you were loved and you will certainly be missed

Perhaps I should invest in a smaller bag…

I was recently tagged by two lovely bloggers.

The lovely Halie of Archiving Fashion gave me the “awesome girl” award and the task of naming 10 interesting things about myeslf.

The lovely Ela from Extra Dressing on the Side gave me the “Kreativ Blogger” award and the task of naming 7 things about myself.

I would like to extend my sincerest thank you for these lovely awards!

Also, please do take the time to check out these wonderful blogs! And don’t forget to leave fun and useful comments.

Since I recently did a post naming five things that make me happy, I will simply add 5 more things about myself to make it 10. However, the next five things will pertain only to fashion and beauty.

6 Summer Resolutions:

Clare — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 22:34:01 +0000

Now that summer is officially upon us, I thought it would be prudent to compile a list of things that we shouldn’t be doing this summer:

Going without sunscreen: This should be a no-brainer. Any girl going out on a hot summer day without her SPF is a crazy woman. Unless you want to be a wrinkled mess at 35, slather on that SPF 30.

Wearing tiny jean skirts: I must admit that I am a SLAVE to the tiny jean skirt. Especially those cut-off ones. But they really aren’t that cute, they are actually quite trashy. Since we want to avoid looking like the trailer trash, put the tiny piece of jean fabric down and move on.

Forgetting the fierce shades: Nothing is sadder than reaching into your purse and realizing you’ve forgotten your oversized sunglasses. Also, the sun’s rays can damage your eyes. So, buy two pairs. One for your purse and one for your office, locker, car, whatever. For those of you who insist on wasting your money on designer shades, this rule doesn’t apply to you. You should be taking $250 sunglasses everywhere you go. Heck, you should sleep in them. For the rest of us who buy cheap sunglasses, splurge and buy two.

Drinking soda: Summer is the best time to break your Diet Coke addiction. Soda stains your teeth, weakens your bones, is full of preservatives and calories, and doesn’t hydrate you. So since it its basically like drinking a can of Worthless Juice, try some water instead.

Blaring your obnoxious ring tone in public places: When summer hits come out, everyone seems to feel the need to make their favorite song their ring tone. It may be YOUR favorite song; but it isn’t anyone else’s. Put your phone on vibrate and save us all the headache (and save yourself 2.99).

Wearing a bikini when you know you should be in a whole piece, girl: When whole pieces are as cute as they are right now, you have no excuse.
