Fashion for a Mad Woman.

Monday, November 22nd, 2010

My mom constantly tells me that I was born in the wrong decade, between the music I listen to, the clothes I wear, the movies I watch, you get the picture.  After seeing these fashions featured in Real Simple magazine last month, I tend to agree.  To say that I fell in love would be an understatement.  I was reading the magazine at the gym, on the treadmill, and well, almost fell off.  After complaining about all the muted beige and pink that was so popular this fall, the intense colors shown here were an injection of life.  The hair, the makeup, that retro classiness, I want to dress like this every day of my life.  Do you think people would stare?

Create Your Own Kicks.

I’ve long had a crush on Converse sneakers, namely Chucks.  That’s why I find it hard to believe that after all of this secret swooning, I got my first pair only a few months ago.

The other day, someone turned me onto the fact that you can actually design your own Chucks now.  You control everything, from the outside color, inside lining, laces, even the racing stripe.  Whoa!  You know I had to give it a go.  Here’s my experience.  You can try it yourself at the Converse website.

This legwear is sure to grab attention.  I’m not sure if I have the guts to don a pair myself, but I sure am attracted to the clever idea.  Available from Les Queues de Sardines.
