Obsession Du Jour

I must be the most unfocused and air-headed person in the world, because all that is on my mind right now are THESE:

The Ferragamo Varina!

Possibly in this colour, because well, Nudes are IN this season. And I would just die for a few pairs of these in different shades!

This is why I love Liverpool. Serious Shit =)

Because I have to remember the 14th of March 2009 as the day Liverpool beat Man Utd at Old Trafford 4-1.....the biggest win they've had since 1936!!!! Not to mention the last time Liverpool won at OT was Danny Murphy's penalty in 2004.
(gosh that kind of just shows how lousy and erratic they can be, isn't it? damn)

Have been re-watching Goal Highlights. And I still love Liverpool long time. As with Gerrard and Torres.

It's not over yet!!

This has definitely been one of the best weeks yet. Yes, my life is so mundane that I now rely on Liverpool's performance to brighten it up. Trashing Real 4-0 and yesterday, Man Utd.
:))))

Trends

Just for the record, some trends are impossible to follow.

Harem pants; Boho looks with the shiny headbands that go around your forehead, embossing a mark in the process (we aren't all Nicole Richie, really); a distressed top with leather leggings, the 'Labyrinth look'; tapered trousers; purple lipstick/lipgloss......*shudders*

But as much as this may make some of your eyebrows shoot way up past your hairline in shock....I have always liked Vanessa Hudgens' sense of style. She is a huge fan of the Balenciaga city bag and the Miu Miu Bow Messenger, as am I, and she just manages to pull off everything oh so well. (Okay I admit I AM a tad biased - I am a huge fan of Zanessa). Hmmm I digress again.

WELL...the point I'm getting to is that with the 411 being: JUMPSUITS ARE IN, I have been carefully analysing these outfits online and on certain celebs as of late. And I was a tad critical of checking it off as a YES on my Trendy List until I saw a recent picture of Zanessa at the Watchmen premiere.....with Vanessa totally rocking her jumpsuit!!!!

Now I'm definitely looking for something like that. Something flowery, short and fun without being over the top in any way. Just something very subtle, as per my usual style.

There is a narrow line between pulling off a jumpsuit and looking trendy, AND looking sadly 'wannabe' in some of those badly-designed jumpsuits that make you look like an astronaut or a construction worker. To me, the trick is to go subtle and to keep in mind that long jumpsuits are way harder to pull off than short ones.

I have no doubt that these suits will probably be horribly inconvenient if you are in dire need of the bathroom or suffering from a severe case of diarrhoea....but I am willing to give it a shot anyway. My mantra in fashion has always been to try out all the trends, albeit reasonably and.....

Yup, you guessed it. Subtly ;)
