I LOVE wearing leather coats, pants, skirts, etc. (obviously not all at once...) and since the weather is so cold here, now is the perfect time!

Linda Farrow and Jeremy Scott
These are by far my favorite sunglasses EVER. I will find a way to get them! Jeremy Scott & Linda Farrows sunglasses are so amazingly unique and creative and I want to be inside their minds for like 5 minutes so I can know what thoughts go through their head. I cant get over how wonderfully weird these sunglasses are. I feel like you could wear a T-shirt and jeans (not that you'd want to) and just throw these bad boys on and look like you're on a whole new level. I'm really digging the collaborations that designers have been doing lately, like Vivienne Westwood & Melissa, because those shoes are pretty crazy/amazing too.

LAMB
More houndstooth, leopard print, and plaid please! The LAMB collection is too good for for words. I'll leave it at that.

The Man Repeller
I just finished reading an article by Leandra Medine, blogger of The Man Repeller in what I believe is the December 2010 issue of Harpers Bazaar. (I only saved this article so I have no idea.) The article questions whether you can still dress fashionably and eccentric and still get a man. While this piece seems to lead toward the word no, I happen to think yes, if you're lucky.
Most people, (and not just men) are close minded and will look at you as if you've just committed a crime if you dress like Daphene or Lady Gaga or anyone else that most magazine/blog readers find inspiring. Before you even think of dressing like you just hopped off a runway you must first ask yourself if you're crafty enough to find clothes like that or able to afford them. Then you have to get the nerve to be OK with people staring at you or even telling you that you look like a freak.
Anyways, the reason I think its possible to dress high fashion and different and still get a man (an accepting one) is because its happened to a ton of people I know, including myself. I have many girlfriends that have great boyfriends or husbands and are able to wear whatever they want and don't feel one bit of self consciousness. Most of their partners think its HOT that they are so comfortable with themselves and know what they like and go for it.
Either way, if you're with someone who isn't okay with who you are (because fashion is a part of it), why don't you run for the hills instead of waiting for them to do it?
-I'll scan the article if anyone can't find it online and is interested in reading it. Just E-mail me or leave a comment!

BETSEY JOHNSON RUNWAY
Betsey Johnson is known to be an eclectic and creative woman of all trades. She's always pushed limits and designed clothes that she'd wear. Any article of clothing that she has produced would immediately add a unique style to any girls outfit. I personally own about 3 of her purses, a vintage gun sweater, as well as a few of her dresses and onesies. Every time I wear one of these pieces I've gotten strange looks, or complements on my style (depending on who the comment/look is coming from).
Not only was she debuting her new and less expensive line of clothing, but she was debuting a whole new view on what women on the runway should look like. Its about time.
This season, Betsey Johnson was awesome enough to feature a completely amazing range of beautiful women of all shapes and sizes. The fashion industry is known for featuring girls that are a size 0-2 (which I naturally am) and for the most part, they are Caucasian.
Viewing this collection completely shocked and awed so many people's minds, and she's gotten so many positive reviews and comments across the fashion world. It's so nice to see full figured women working it and looking fierce across the runway. I, as well as many other fans I'm sure, are hoping this really creates a trend in the fashion world. Because this is what clothes are supposed to look like, this is how clothes are supposed to make us "fashionistas" feel.
