From Me To You
2007-05-05 07:11:00
So I'm really just learning as I go with this whole blog thing. I am really excited, then, to announce THIS: COUTURE CULT IS #1 IN RANKING ON BLOGTOPSITES.COM, IF YOU SEARCH UNDER THE KEYWORD "COUTURE"! Now, I know this doesn't mean this is the number one fashion blog EVER (well at least, according to blogtopsites.com, that is, lol) but it really has me motivated! I have a lot if ideas for new features and fun things to add to this blog, so don't forget to subscribe so you can keep up! I will NEVER sell your email address to SPAMMERS (ew, NOT hot!), so DO IT ALREADY!I hope you all take a minute to check out the new online store COUTURE CULT! I literally sat for HOURS on end, selecting every individual item (there are now 1,000 items available!). I picked my favorite labels, and only the best of what they had to offer. It looks like the way this store works, is when you are ready to buy an item, you are redirected to the wholesaler and you buy from them, not directly from me. All...

Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.~ Coco ChanelChanel TV Belt: Spring Summer 2005

To Top It All Off
2007-05-02 09:36:00
This metallic lace top by Anna Sui is the perfect top to dress up jeans out on the town, or wear with a nice pair of skinny black pants. The ribbons on the shoulders make for a very feminine accent, and showing off bare shoulders is just a hint of sexy. The A-line shape of the garment means it will hide the imperfections of your body without making you look like you are wearing a tent. I love this! I have to have it! Buy it for me!Neiman Marcus, $259.00

Regina: Oh my God, I love your skirt! Where did you get it?Lea Edwards: It was my mom's in the '80s.Regina: Vintage, so adorable.Lea Edwards: Thanks.Regina: [after girl walks away] That is the ugliest f-ing skirt I've ever seen. ~ Mean Girls Don't get me wrong, an animal print scarf goes great as an accessory to a pin-up girl look, and a pair of animal printed shoes can dress up plain black in a fun, sexy way... But this girls outfit looks like Kelly Bundy fell in love with Encino Man and had a lovechild. Im sure she is "dressed up" (and I am using the term "dressed" very loosely, fyi) for some occasion or another, but I personally wouldn't be caught dead in this get-up: even on Halloween!

Kiss and MAKEUP
2007-05-01 23:09:00
Mascara is something I absolutely cannot live without. Even on the days where I don't want to wear any makeup, I wear mascara. Being a natural blonde, who colors my hair darker, I almost need mascara to see that I even have eyelashes at all. I have tried practically every brand on the market, both drug store brands and department store brands. And my absolute cant-live-without-it favorite is:Chanel Inimitable MascaraI have it in both black for night time, and brown for day. At $26.50 it isnt too expensive, and you will definitely see what justifies the price when you use it. Your lashes truly will look longer and fuller, so you wont have to choose which aspect is more important to you. And it doesn't get clumpy, leaving you with those awful spidery looking lashes we sometimes see around. I find that if you put on one coat, and then wait a few minutes for it to dry, and add another, you will have the perfect look. I just found it on Amazon for $23.00! YAY!What's YOUR favorite masc...

Singer Lilly Allen is coming out with a clothing line called Lilly Loves. The line will be sold in a store called New Look, with locations pretty much everywhere except here. If the clothes are anything like what she usually wears: vintage inspired dresses, ghetto gold chains... well then maybe this could be for this New Look store what I thought Madonna would be for H&M. I really expected more from Madonna. I can't wait to see what the clothes look like!

Spotted this afternoon at a horse rental place on Magnolia and Riverside by the Los Angeles Equestrian Center:Rose McGowan!I have always been a fan of hers, since I first saw her in The Doom Generation in 1995. Since then, I've followed her all the way to the outrageous Grindhouse, where she played "Cherry". So to see her there as my friends and I were filling out paperwork and waiting for our horses to be ready, was an unexpected moment of excitement in my day. She looked absolutely beautiful with very minimal makeup, wearing jeans and a denim jacket. Very inconspicous. My friend turned around and mouthed "Isn't that...", and I mouthed "Rose McGowan! OHMYGOD!", and practically swooned. Only in Los Angeles can you spot such a lovely starlet when you go riding... and not have the place be in an uproar. What's so great about Rose McGowan is her edge. There is something incredibly punk rock about this woman, while coming off as a modern day Vargas girl. Rose has a film in pre-produc...

Spotted at the Los Angeles Textile Show at the New Mart in the Fashion District, Downtown this Tuesday:Jeffrey Sebelia, winner of Project Runway! I was very excited to see him there, as I perused fabrics and trims... He was a favorite of mine all season, and I feel his win was justified! His look was a little bit raunchy, a little bit rock and roll... but also classy in a young, hip, kind of jet-setting way.A few of my favorite pieces from his line: Check out the website for his line Cosa Nostra!

" Do you prefer 'fashion victim', or 'ensembly challenged?' " ~CluelessWhen is this EVER okay? *sigh* Honey, the shirt goes OVER the bra. Not that you should be wearing that kind of bra with a strapless top, anyway. But say you do... the shades of pink in the bra and the tie clash with each other. The boy shorts over the jeans with the top tucked in? Someone please... if you know this girl, save her from herself. And save her clothes from HER!
