A new week, a new topic

But first, I would to address a comment left this week, disapproving my dissing of crocs.
First off, this blog is about expressing our own personal views. So I’m sorry if people have different opinions.
And secondly, you state that crocs did not claim to be fashionable, they claim to be comfy.
Well, I've never said they claim to be fashionable. I just said I didn’t see their big appeal, style wise.
Keep in mind, when a shoe is designed, two important things are taken into account, style (fashion) and practicality (comfort).

This week?

My favourite celebrity fashion icons.

People sometimes don’t realize that celebrities don’t often dress themselves. So you can’t truly say it’s their style. They get a lot of their clothes and bags for free. So technically, they do not spend fortunes on clothes, like the girls spending fortunes to look like them do. So instead of unrealistic dreaming (and aiming for bankruptcy), let’s just admire them, and take a lesson or two.

Coco’s favourite fashion icon’s.

1. Vanessa Hudgens.
Not only did she come back from a nude photo scandal, she came back fabulous.
Vanessa loves? Jeans, Balenciaga bags, beige, keeping her clothes on, and Starbucks.

2. Hayden Panettiere.
My favourite hero. Save the fashionista, save the world.
Hayden loves? Pencil skirts, hoodies, sweat pants, diamond earrings, and Milo Ventimiglia.
3. Audrina Patridge and Lauren Conrad.
If you're anything like me, you too are obsessed with The Hills in an unhealthy manner. Although people always refer to Lauren as the stylish one, I actually prefer Audrina’s edgy sense of style to Lauren’s preppy ways. Either way, they both hold a place on my list.
Audrina and Lauren loves? L.A, Brody Jenner, anything un-Heidi-ish.

Why I love them?

1. They dress age appropriate.
2. They don’t try so hard, they keep it real. And I appreciate real people.
3. They make pumping gas and going to the gym look fashionable. Which are two things I doubt I’ll ever accomplish with the ‘oomph’ that they do.

In conclusion, fashion icon’s love clothes, and I love looking at their clothes. Not meant for idolizing. That would be a sin.

Love your skin, and love the skin your in.



Less is more,

Coco

Hi! I'm Lauren (yes, thats my name). i'm 17. I came across your blog whilst blog hopping and i just wanna say that this site is really good. (Finally! people who know how to pronounce Hermes and YSL) anyway i really love the way you girls blog. keep it up!

p.s - i really hate the fake anya hindmarch "I'm not a plastic bag". i have two original ones at home and it annoys me so much cos people go "oh you got that for 55?? theyre selling some at sunway pyramid for 20" my god.

p.p.s - could you do a post soon abt flaunting? some girls think that wearing micro minis with tube tops are hot. i know "less is more" but geez thats just sleazy. i mean, you either show one asset or none. not both!

Hey, Lauren :)
Thanks for reading! I totally agree with you about Hermes and YSL, we got a little tired of people throwing the names around wrongly so Mischka thought it was only fitting to make a post on it hehe.

And I've always wondered what was up with the fake 'I'm not a plastic bag'.. I think it is a little overused, seriously. The bag is nice but when I see some being sold for way less than the original price, I feel bad for the designer.

p/s : The idea about flaunting is a good idea :D We'll keep it in mind and when the time is right, we may just do that.

Cheers,
Westwood

i'm not a big fan of fakes. but i guess sometimes people just love something so much they have to have it, and fakes are just more affordable.

but then again, sometimes it's better to research the fake u are buying, because there are times the fakes are just too fake. it's like buying 'gukki' instead of gucci.that's just too silly.

at least buy something that looks real.don't buy it just because it has a tag that reads prada or 'prado'.haha.
