speaking of hair…
Do you think this lady looks like a lesbian? Not that there is anything wrong with that. However, I am trying to not look like a lesbian but my hair is growing out and I need a good in between cut. I really like this cut but I’m afraid if I got it I would look like a lesbian from the 80′s. I think my end goal cut will be this last picture.
-
Emilily
Unfortunately, I agree with you – the woman in the top three pictures looks like a lesbian with that haircut. I say unfortunately because I too like the cut, and I like her style, but the two together look very lesbian. Cool, chic lesbian, but lesbo nonetheless. I have the same dilemma, because I really like a menswear-ish clothing style, and I am going to have short (shorter) hair soon, and I am really wondering how on earth I am going to avoid looking like a lesbian. I have nothing wrong with lesbians, but I don’t want to look like one. (Same as there is nothing inherently wrong with 15-year-old boys, and I don’t want to look like one of those either, but I am afraid that I will at some point in the very near future look like a combination of the two.)
Yasmine’s hair is absolutely gorgeous. You are so lucky that your hair, with the right styling products, can probably look exactly like hers. That’s probably similar to the haircut I have now, but on curly hair…I’ll bet you can rock that in a few months, until then…maybe just avoid wearing collared shirts, shoulder pads, and blazers.

Carmen
Will do.
On the other subject:
I wonder how you can spice up your soon-to-be 15 yr old boy/ Lesbian look…. Perhaps a colorful scarf? Some earrings? Or its possible that the only thing they will allow is a rosy color to the lips? -
Emilily
I am honestly not sure. I know make-up is allowed (after basic) as long as it is not “unnatural in color” like no electric blue eyeshadow or black lipstick. Earrings…there are some restrictions as far as size…I think you’re kind of limited to studs, too. I suppose since you have to be 18 to join, the uniform won’t make me look like a 15-year-old boy, although looking like an 18-year old boy is no better. There is a version of the uniform with a skirt and heels, so…now we’re back to lesbian.
Hey, here’s a question for you – do you think Kara Thrace looks like a lesbian?
-
Carmen
You mean this Kara???
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kara_Thrace
(how do i post a picture in the comments section?)
I have no idea if she looks like a lesbian. All I know is she’s hot and I’d do her. Ahh just kidding (i think my grandma reads this blog)! I’m not a lesbian grandma! -
Emilily
Yeah, that Kara! And even in the earlier episodes when she had shorter hair, she didn’t really look like a lesbian to me, she just looked hot! But, I am a girl, so then by default…does that mean she does look like a lesbian? It’s all such a gray area…

ha ha.
I just go back to the last post that had a picture in the comments and copy the html and replace the image source with the new image, and the image dimensions with the new dimensions. For some reason, it doesn’t show up the first time you save the post, you have to copy the new code, save the post, go back into edit the post, paste the code back in, and the second time it shows up. Don’t know why, but it works every time.

Thats alot of work. I think I’ll leave it to you to do all that. Good job.

Splitting hairs. Not everybody is as conscious of style nuances as you two are. Or maybe it’s me that has no eye for style or gender preference coding. I think that it takes way more than a haircut to make a woman look lesbian. The shoes, clothes and mannerisms are really what set the bar for women trying to show the world that they like other women. I mean what about Halle Berry? She has had some pretty short hair and not once did I think “oh, she’s a dyke” But take your Kara for example. She does not have short hair but she could easily be taken for a lesbian. It’s all in the way you carry yourself and act. Not in the cut of your hair. That’s my opinion anyway. So there.

Carmen
Oh logical reasoning, why do you vex me so???

Mai Lamore shoes
I was browsing through my Elle magazine yesterday, and came upon these lovely shoes! They’re made by a French designer, Mai Lamore. (For our reader(s) out there who aren’t Carmen or Emilily, we recently purchased feather earrings, so this is in keeping with a theme.)Here is a link to a larger picture at SBeulah’s fashion blog, because you really have to see them full size to appreciate the beautiful detail.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
When I did a quick web search to see where one might purchase these beauties, I found another stunning pair, made out of hand-painted silk and 18-karat gold, for only $27,945.I know the price seems a bit outrageous, but I think these really are a work of art, and the fact that they are functional makes them that much more valuable.
xxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Seems a little more reasonable when you consider someone paid $72.8 million for Rothko’s Yellow, Pink and Lavender on Rose. I wonder if anyone pointed out to them that they could have had 2,605 pairs of Mai Lamore Rose petal shoes instead.-
Carmen
oh geez thats so pretty… yeah i’m into feathers right now for sure. Also, when i get more free time i’m going to start making my own shoes.

Saw this in the window the other night, not sure what to make of it. Trying to figure out how to insert a joke about the Second Amendment but I’m not sure anyone would get it. Any suggestions?
-
Emilily
How about…
Nordstrom’s celebrates the much anticipated update to the second amendment, providing for “the right to bear arms, and an alligator ass” -
Emilily
Ok, it’s been like 13 minutes and I still haven’t gotten an LOL. I was making a pun. BEAR as in Grizzly, and ARMS as in limbs…(pause)*…I’ll try harder next time.
*I often think the funniest part of puns is afterwards, in that awkward pause that occurs between the teller having to explain their pun and then apologizing for making it in the first place.
-
Carmen
Oh, I’m sorry i’m late on my laugh, i had to eat lunch! (i refuse to say LOL) I get your pun man, but thank you for explaining it anyways for all our lazy readers who don’t feel like looking up the second amendment. Good job!

online today
K Dukes’ comment about the practicality of these boots cracked me up. Although I’m not particularly crazy about the boots, I always appreciate some good rationalization. (I also like tall boots, and the hidden toughness of a lug sole, but I think this model needs a little more meat on her calves to pull off this look.)I also really like Garance’s post today – do you get Vogue? I think this line epitomizes what I imagine my perfect wardrobe might look like “The masculine wardrobe, the relaxed femininity…”
-
Carmen
Yeah, I gotta say, I don’t like these boots at all. I keep seeing knee high boots around with the jeans tucked into them and each time I see it I think to myself – do I like it? and the answer is always no. I think I like the idea of it because its tied to the notion of riding horses, but unless these ladies are actually riding horses they just look outdated to me. I have sworn to myself – I will not be wearing knee high boots with my pant legs tucked in. However, calf length boots are a whole other story.

somewhat obsessive behavior
I have just discovered (thank you Dylan!) a brilliant new app for iPhone, the myPantone color app. This app is sheer friggin’ blow your mind genius. (I love love love color schematics, so even if it weren’t genius, I would probably still buy it and blissfully extol its mediocrity, I am that hopelessly besotted.) In brief, it gives you 7 or 8 pantone color books to flip through, as well as the ability to take a snapshot and then pull the pantone hues out of the image and create numerous custom color palettes.
Now, you may ask – aside from geeking out with my iPhone, what else would I use this somewhat pricey ($9.99) app for? Ah ha! Here’s what I am going to do! Photograph all my favorite clothes and create custom color palettes based on outfit combinations! Then, anytime I am out shopping, and I am wondering if I should buy something, and if so, what would I wear it with, I can photograph the item in question, pull out some swatches, and see if they match any of my in-heavy-rotation palettes. I will never again have one of those moments where I’m like, this sweater would look awesome with these pants, but I wish I had noticed at the store that they were two completely non-coordinateable* shades of ochre! Also, once you create a color palette, you can email it, and the email includes the ASE files to send your swatches to Photoshop!
* Non-coordinateable may not be a real word. Spell check says it isn’t, but spell-check also says the word geeking should not be used as a verb, and that I am spelling ochre wrong, which I don’t think I am. Or perhaps I am, and I am just stubborn.

last night…
So I was all dressed up ready to go to a dinner party with a “french peasant” theme. Here was my outfit:
Strangely it didn’t go over so well. Apparently people are not familiar with the French Basque Peasants and their traditional “basque-horn” head-dress. Who knew! Needless to say it was a little embarrassing to walk in and realize that only the food was supposed to be french peasant themed. Luckily I travel with an extra outfit at all times for just such an occasion!
I met some lovely people and ate alot of good food. Max made seafood bouillabaisse, which is one of my favorite dishes in all the world. Everyone there made delicious food and it was hosted by the guy in rabbit hat and cigarette looking pensive.
And at the end of the night we took some portrait shots. My brain is not working so good today so I’m just going to post these pictures and go get a glass of water.
-
Emilily
Well, I can see your confusion – people really ought to specify if a dinner party theme is meant to be dress-up, or just inspire the menu. I guess we were going in the right direction with the french fry outfit after all, although I fail to see how a basque head-horn would not be a welcome addition to any dinner party, themed or not.
Also, when I saw you in the bunny hat, I though, oh, how convenient, it’s both a pet and a costume change!

lookbook
I am digging our new addition to the addictions. Besides the outfits, the composition and lighting effects applied to some of the images are quite beautiful. I think my favorite are the posts where the wearer has created a collage of images, like one main outfit, then two little sections of a print or texture. Although, I swear some of those people are lying about their ages, and if not, then they ought to be, because they look way too haggard for 16.
I just read the FAQ section, and saw that it was started by two people in San Francisco!

I should have my photo studio set up soon so we can work on our submission for lookbook. Start thinking of a good european outfit!

Anthropologie
I don’t like everything at Anthropologie, but every once and a while, I find a real treasure. I can go in there 10 times, and find nothing, then the next time, just randomly run across something that I absolutely have to have, and those finds are consistently my closet favorites, even years later. (Like that fuchsia dress!) They have some beautiful sweaters right now that would really help me in the transition to fall. I love all the draping!
-
Carmen
I thought you were downsizing your closet Emily. Oh hell, you can’t where t-shirts all winter! You better go shopping! Draping is definitely in these days. However, I have canceled draping from any future purchases I may make*. In the effort to change my style I have moved away from flying squirrel shirts and drapey stuff to a more sleek look. Going well so far.
*This decision subject to change at any moment.
-
Emilily
I am downsizing my closet, but I am allowed to dream!
I am not sure if the ones with all the ruffles and embellishments are quite right for me, but I do like asymmetrical clothes, like the one on the far left especially. And I can’t help but be attracted to bright colors, like the red one, even though logically I know my wardrobe will be more cohesive if I stick to a more neutral palette…but good lord, I don’t want my style to be characterized by drapey colorful asymmetrical things!
I probably still have some work to do on my personal style…

Cloche…
I’m really loving this style right now.
Like I promised, I have been reading Elegance as I mentioned in this blog post. It is quite beautiful and I love seeing the styles change depending on whats happening in the country. My favorite style so far is the 20′s and out of the 20′s my most favorite thing is the cloche hat style. This style was invented by Caroline Reboux, who made all the hot hats for all the hot people. She was a self made woman who, like Chanel, grew up in an impoverished environment. The cloches that I have seen for sale these days are hideous things that look like fisherman hats – not elegant at all. If I can’t find one that I like I might have to try my hand at millinery and make my own! I’ll keep you updated!
-
Emilily
Oh I agree, I love the fashion of the 20′s as well. There was a decadence and riskiness to the style that was not seen for many decades afterward. Many of the dresses were scandalous for the time – and even by today’s standards some of those hemlines are high! – but they all had a certain class and grace that is lacking in a lot of today’s fashion.

On the subject of style
I thought since we were talking about personal style last week, I’d post my “idea wall.” I don’t know how it got that name, it started as a Cirque du Soliel calendar that had a kind of creepy picture one month, so I started clipping pictures of clothes and shoes I liked on top of it. Now I change the page each month, and it is always interesting to see what items make the cut from one month to the next. Some things get tossed at the end of the month, and I am glad I didn’t jump on that trend, and when something lasts for a few months, often I buy it (or something very similar.) Like those studded ballet flats from capezio (top right) have been up there for a long time….I hope soon they will be on my feet!-
Carmen
Oh, thats very nice. You should laminate it when the year is over. It’ll be like a time capsule. Maybe I’ll start one!
-
Emilily
that’s actually a cool idea. If I had saved the discards each month, and left them all on a time line, I could look back over the year and see how my tastes had evolved. While it might not be that thrilling from just a “this is what i wanted to wear last year” perspective, wouldn’t it have been cool if we had done one of these in college? Or if our moms had done one when they were in college? I think we should develop this project more!

On that note…
I’m glad you posted that last one about Lady Gaga, it segues so nicely into the post I’ve been thinking about. This post contributes to quite a few of our interests. It delves into the meaning of a word (our lexophile tendencies) and explores the branches of culture that come out of that word (i’m talking about clothes!). The word is…
Style.
Good ol’ Merriam-Webster says style is:
2 a : a distinctive manner of expression b : a distinctive manner or custom of behaving or conducting oneself c : a particular manner or technique by which something is done, created, or performed .
Little did I know, its also this!: c. the filiform usually elongated part of the pistil bearing a stigma at its apex AND! d : a slender elongated process (as a bristle) on an animal. (you just got learned!)
Lets ignore these last two and focus on the first one. My question is this – Can style be learned? If it is learned can it also be genuine? and one final question – Can one learn style at the ripe age of 33?
My first theory was that you have to have alot of money to have style. And while money certainly helps, my theory can be proven wrong very easily. My next theory was that you had to be raised around style (like The Sartorialist) but that theory can be easily proven wrong also. Obviously, people believe that style can be learned, I mean, there are piles upon piles of books written on the subject. However, if one reads a book on the subject that doesn’t necessarily mean that one could then convey style. And really, lets just take a look at the definition. A distinctive manner, a particular manner. It doesn’t say anything about being able to pick out a good outfit. Its the manner in which you wear the outfit. Its picking out an outfit that can best enhance your inner manner. Is this right?
Here is my final theory and conclusion: people who exude a natural sense of style are born with a sort of brain disorder (much like OCD!) where they must have things look a certain way or they feel ill. That much cannot be learned. Everyone else are just posers who can either pull it off well or not so well. People with true style are few and far between. I have decided to read a couple books on the subject and search for my distinctive style. I will keep you updated on this endeavor.
-
Emilily
Style. Such a loaded word. I could really talk for hours about the elongated part of a flower pistil…
I think style can be learned. But not like one learns math, out of a book, but more the way one learns courage, from an accumulation of life experiences that lead you to knowing yourself. However, just like some people never learn to be comfortable in their own skin, some people never learn good style, they just emulate others and follow trends. So we can prove theory one wrong – have you seen some of those red carpet get-ups that just don’t fit or flatter? There is an example of someone with loads of money, professional assistance, and cutting-edge dress designs at their disposal, and yet their outfits continually fail. Money can buy fancy clothes, not style…
I think being raised around style would definitely help – it would make you aware of it’s existence, the way being raised around religion gives you knowledge of God and faith, but it does not guarantee that you will grow up to be a catholic. However, that theory doesn’t really hold water because then you would have families where every generation was stylish or every generation lacked style, and I don’t think that’s the case, because it would be too obvious. Plus, there is a general consensus, I think, that children learn as much from their peers as they do their parents, so perhaps being in a stylish environment can contribute to being stylish….like, say, being French. But that just proves that style is learned.
I would agree with your conclusion, with one caveat. I think a personal style is developed as you grow older, and for people who are so inclined, it expresses itself in fashion. For example, my dad has his own “style”, but it is more geared towards economy and function, not aesthetics, color, or design. I think whenever a person’s outlook on life, their personality, their habits, starts to express itself in their outward appearance, this has to be considered a style. Some people are naturally very particular about things, whether it is their appearance, their home, or just weird personality quirks; if they also have a love of fashion, then this particularity could result in an innate sense of style.
Take Lady Gaga – she has a style for sure, even though it is not in my taste. While I was looking for images of her, I found an article where she talked about her personal style inspirations, and she said that she studied the design of Thierry Mugler, and was attracted to outfits that paid homage to his work. So even though she might have a great natural ability to don weird get-ups, she’s also done some research as to how to channel that special, um, gift she’s got. I think everyone can learn it by simply paying attention to it, and cultivating it. I feel like reading fashion magazines and looking at shopping websites (like ShopBop’s lookbooks) is like doing personal style research, and sometimes when I wear a new outfit, it is like practicing. Practicing for what, I am not sure…but I would be interested in what comes of your research. What books are you going to read? How do you decide? It seems like you will have to pick ones where you like the style, because you will probably be influenced by it…or are you thinking more psychology-type books about how and why some people have style and some don’t? Yes, keep me updated!

CK…
I don’t know why but I’m always drawn to Calvin Klein even though just saying “Calvin Klein” reminds me of cowboys in the 80′s. Why does that happen? I have no idea. Maybe it was a marketing campaign they did in the eighties that just stuck in my mind. Whatever it is – I like their stuff! Its always a well done combination of simple and interesting. I really like these dresses (even though I probably would never wear them, and I admit the second one is a bit bag-ish but there is still something cool about it) and I would imagine that you, especially, would like this jacket if only so you could run around pretending you were in Bladerunner.
-
Emilily
I think the marketing campaign they were known for in the 80′s was the one where an overly-sexed 15-yr old Brooke Shields talked dirty about her jeans, followed by that one featuring Marky Mark dancing around in his skivvies. I mean, how brilliant is that, to sell men’s underwear (and you knew that had to be what they were selling because that’s all he was wearing) with a commercial targeting every single 16-yr old post-NKOTB fan across the country.
I do like those dresses, too. I like how his stuff is very minimal, and structural, although I think I would have a hard time wearing it.
p.s. I totally run around pretending I am in bladerunner already

Emilily
And on the fashion front!
There is some interesting stuff going on with Gilt Groupe today.
I really love the structure of nearly all of the Donna Karan dresses, but this coat is a little confusing to me. Also, here are some nipples!
On Gilt Fuse’s upcoming sales calendar, Sequin claims to be “well-made, well-priced costume jewelry.” Somewhere in that phrase is an oxymoron…
And finally, I just bought these jeans! They were on special at Nordstrom’s although still quite pricey. I have been trying on various brands of skinny jeans, and they all make me look like I have the legs of a supermodel…just compressed, so they are disproportionately shorter and thicker. Then I accidentally tried on a pair that was “ankle-length” and viola! they fit. I am unconditionally against ankle-length pants, no matter how trendy they become, because the last thing I need to do is visually chop off even a few precious inches of my leg…but apparently, my leg ends where the average jeans-model’s ankle starts.-
Carmen
holy dear god who puked up a pink big bird all over that poor woman and now delusionally thinks its a coat? I agree with you that the sales are good today – I particularly like the Valentino Pret-a-Porter stuff – soooo pretty. And the Modern Vintage boots are all real nice too – too bad I can’t afford any of it… yet.

shoes shoes shoes
Okay, I love converse, and I love a high heel…but please oh please, not at the
same time. I would normally say that any shoe could be improved with a bit of
height, but NOT athletic shoes. (For example, I would also say that any beverage
could be improved with a splash of champagne, EXCEPT coffee. See, there’s an
exception to every good rule.) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxx However, perhaps against my better judgment, I am still looking for an Adirondack
boot with a heel – just like the one here, but with a 3+ inch wedge or cuban heel, and preferably not made by UGG. Somehow, UGG boots in my mind represent a very poor attempt to class up those sweatpants you should never have worn out of the house. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
And lastly, the boots that for months I have been coveting and stalking and making up little love songs in honor of, the Frye Harness Boot in Crazy Horse. I love everything about them – the walkable heel, the color, the name of the color, and the Lonesome Dove-esque androgynous cowboy fantasies they inspire…

plastic shoes
I cannot decide if I like these shoes or not, they’re on Gilt Groupe right now. I do love Vivienne Westwood, and jelly shoes bring back memories (ok, they bring back memories of being made fun of by some nasty sixth graders because my neon green jelly sandals did not match my home-made rainbow fairy costume, but jelly shoes are now super retro cool and those mean girls are probably fat and married to some knuckle-dragging mountain man and living in a double-wide in Orick, so there.) Anyways, do I love these or hate them?!?!
Plastic shoes?
-
Carmen
well, its a tricky thing, and I understand your hesitation. This trend is appealing to me because the shoes look so clean and minimal – no lines, no embellishments. However, that is the only plus side I can come up with. I too remember the days of jellies and frankly would not want to be reminded of them every time I look down at my feet. Secondly, because I remember those days, I recall that my feet do not like the feel of plastic on my feet. Ok, I just thought of another plus side though – that the colors can be so vibrant, its almost like you’re wearing drops of candy on your feet….. hold the phone – thats a brilliant idea! Shoes made of candy! I’ll get working on that right now!

Off to the the BBQ…
…but before I go, some things to note:1. I am wearing a romper. An entire outfit made out of one item of clothing. I like the efficiency of it. But I also like the efficiency of my fanny pack, and that doesn’t mean it is in good taste. Either way, I’m giving it a shot.
2. I put the Nars monoi oil in my hair. It smells tropical. It looks a tiny bit greasy. It makes me feel like I spent the night on a beach in Tahiti, so overall, a success.
3. My new camera, which I do not yet know how to use but am madly in love with anyway, is a Leica D-Lux 3. I got a smashing deal, or as my friend Mia said, I used my energy to manifest it. Here’s the link to their website: http://en.leica-camera.com/photography/d_system/digilux_3/
4. I dig this blog thing. Maybe I am just totally self-absorbed with us, but it is so much fun!
