WTFashion: The Kardashian Klan

September 20, 2011 By 15 Comments

These days it just seems like the Kardashians are simply everywhere. Just yesterday, I was subjected to an ad featuring Kim, Kourtney and Khloe modeling their own Sears lingerie line in a magazine….not exactly how I like to start off my work day. Now it’s Kylie’s chance to shine. The youngest of the Kardashian Klan walked during fashion week for Abbey Dawn, which happens to be Avril Lavigne’s line. Who happens to be Brody Jenner’s girlfriend. Who happens to be Kylie’s half-brother. Do you get where I am going with this? Can I scoff now? I’d like to add that Avril’s line looks strikingly like her own closet back in 2001, but that’s a WTFashion for another day.

Let’s keep it klassy. Singers sing, designers design, socialites drink cocktails, so let’s leave the models to the walking.

What the Fashion: Sandals On Stilts

May 13, 2011 By 18 Comments

 

Dear Heels,

You’re an abomination to fashion and a stain on the not-so-good name of Teva. You are not practical, nor are you good looking.  And way to add insult to injury with the wooly socks – you killed it. I don’t mean that in the good way, either.

Signed,

Sandals

what the fashion: Cable knit cardi-romper

April 29, 2011 By 18 Comments

It took me a second to figure out what was going on here, and I think it can best be described as “too many good things.” Or maybe “too much of a good thing,” or simply “when good things go wrong”? I love cable knit cardigans and I think rompers are absolutely adorable…but together? We need a serious knitter-vention.

What the Fashion: T Magazine

April 22, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Look, I get it. Right now, the whole world is up in arms about 1. going green and 2. floral fashion. Both of these are things that we like a lot here at Crossroads, but this spread from T Magazine is just overboard on both accounts.  They might have been trying to create a high fashion spread, but all I can see is salad. Wah, wah try again, T!

What the Fashion: Celebrity Fragrances

celebrity fragrances

They’re as old as time, yet somehow today’s talked-about celebrity fragrances seem really annoying. I don’t have a problem with Kate Walsh – look at that smile! – but I do have a problem with being overwhelmed at a department store.

I just don’t think I need an entire issue of Us Weekly in a bottle – or ten. Right now you can smell like Fergie, both of the Beckhams, Kat Von D, Reese Witherspoon, Halle Berry, or Christina Aguilera’s sister’s friend’s dentist.

And the absolute newest spritzes to line the shelves? You can choose from Khloe Kardashian’s interpretation of invincibility, Kate Walsh’s interpretation of a boyfriend, or Jennifer Aniston’s personal history.

You guys. My nose is dizzy. Can we just cool it on the perfumes for a while?

But fine, I’ll admit it: Beyonce in a bottle? Sign me up.

What the Fashion: Lanvin

lanvin spring 2011

Whoa – catfight at Studio 54! Seriously, is that Jerry Hall getting mugged? Is this The Real Housewives of 1975 – what is going on?!

But really, props to whoever thought of this campaign at Lanvin. Many a time have I considered jumping a girl for her shoes, I’ve just never had the guts to try it. Fierce in several senses of the word, ladies. Well done. Now take it outside before you shred the fur rugs.

What the fashion, Oscar?

January 28, 2011 By Leave a Comment

michelle obama mcqueen oscar de la renta

Let’s review the facts:

Michelle Obama wore an Alexander McQueen gown to some fancy event.
Oscar de la Renta (and now Diane Von Furstenberg!) has expressed “disappointment not to be represented for this major state dinner.”

Alright, I get why you’re bummed out but we weren’t invited either – it’s okay. And while it might not be fact, a lot of people think MObama looked absolutely stunning, so what’s the big deal?

Ohhh, she was supposed to represent an American designer. Well, didn’t she wear Jason Wu to that thing called the Inaugural Ball and put his name on the map? Or what about that time she made J. Crew explode back into popularity?

Oh I see, you have your fingers in your ears and you’re not listening. Well that’s mature…

And this might not be fact either, but we like what Michelle Obama wears because she wears what she wants – so quit acting like Oscar the Grouch! After all, being catty is really unflattering.

what the fashion: spring ads

The fashion industry is filled with creative people. Designers, photographers, stylists, editors…what gives? This is the best you could come up with?

I get it, global warming is a real issue and Lost was really popular, but no matter how much I love fashion, my response to a round of “desert island” is never going to be a Hugo Boss dress. And yeah, I get it, if I were stranded on a beach, turquoise would look really great with my tan, but I’m much more concerned with that Smoke Monster.

Still, being fashionably washed ashore isn’t half as bad as being…fashionably pushed to the ground? Come on guys. That’s just mean. Or did she drop her keys? I don’t know what’s going on but that bag is really cute…

what the fashion: johnny depp

December 17, 2010 By 15 Comments

To be fair, Johnny Depp has always done his own thing. And – to be fair – just about a thousand pictures of these two were probably taken in 10 seconds. But this one screams, “What the fashion??” – so here we are, ready to laugh at a very odd moment.

And can you really blame me for finding this funny? Acting must be hard work because poor Angelina’s face reads, “This guy is my love interest?” Maybe 10 years ago when she wore that creepy blood pendant, but even then I bet she never expected to co-star with a denim pirate. Or was he going for gondola-gangster? I have no idea. He seriously looks like he’s wearing one thing from 20 different outfits.

But again, Johnny Depp has never let anyone change his style. And he did try to dress up with a pin-stripe vest. Sexiest Man Alive of 2011? Probably not, but that doesn’t mean we don’t love you.

All thoughts and reactions are greatly appreciated in the comment section. You might even win a $25 gift certificate for your best attempt to describe Mr. Depp’s look.
