More Beautiful

J. Crew recently arrived at the local mall. Everyone is incredibely happy about it, except for my dear friend Olivia who buys all of her clothes at J. Crew. Now, everyone owns atleast one article of clothing that she has. Which is why shopping exclusively at one store tends to be a bad idea, but whatever.
These J. Crew shorts are...the shiznit. I can't believe I wrote that, but I did and that's what we are stuck with. I went into J. Crew twice today and each time I stared longingly at these shorts. Some of my friends think that it's funny that I adore J. Crew, mainly because it's not my style at all. I mean, I'm wearing a Heatherette mini-skirt as I type this but I love it all the same. J. Crew shorts, $68.
Another thing that I fell in love with today? Gap's men's t-shirts. Super comfortable, especially their stretchy ones. Maybe it's because for the last 4 days I was wearing t-shirts (oh the joys of camping...) but I've rediscovered my love for them. Especially v-necks. Plus the two hairy chested old men who came to my work yesterday wearing low cut v-neck t-shirts certainly helped. It was sexy. $16.50 online. Cheaper in store.

P.S. I am a sarcastic person. Hairiness is not sexy. I just thought you guys should become aware of that.

Put Your Feet Back Down on the Ground

Someone wanted men's fashion, I don't know men's fashion.
I was at the mall with my best friend's boyfriend the other day and tried to get him to buy this (right) jacket, he refused, but the manager tried to give me an application (jokingly, but still). He kept on shouting about it being $92 but it looked great on him.
I don't understand how the majority of boys I know dress, but really this outfit is fantastic. If only it was what he actually wore (he has come a long way though, it used to be just awful).
I do have two guy friends with all around great style, Gerry and Eric (left).
Eric's wearing real Ray Ban's, not the knock-offs that recently showed up at Forever 21 (seriously, that store has taken over this little blog) and a Lacoste sweater he found at Goodwill. Actually, most of his clothes are from his mom's closet or Goodwill but he pulls it off amazingly. But he's an indie kid like that.
That picture doesn't really showcase Gerry's style as much as this one does on the bottom. A lime green t-shirt,a charcoal and purple striped cashmere sweaterand $2 sunglasses from Italy are a perfect mix. I know for a fact that Gerry really works on his style (he constantly calls...everyone asking what he should wear the next day) but there's no shame in that, he looks fly. Now I just feel kind of creepy making a post about my guy friends. I'm done.

The Week in Retrospect

This is what I remember from this past week:
1. Sleeping. a lot.
2. Managing to get a 96% on a paper about street children in Brazil despite the fact that I quoted Fight Club
3. I woman touring my school while wearing Apple Bottom jeans and an Apple Bottom jean jacket. I was kind of frightened.
4. Forever 21 has the best t-shirts. Hands down. Nice solid v-necks, very American Apparel but without the sketchy "do they or do they not have sweatshops?" controversy. You can basically garantee that Forever 21 has some sketchy labor practices.
5. Scheming to buy this shirt and take pictures with red dixie cups while wearing it, purely to rebel against the administration at my school and their sheisty crack-downs.
5. This is the alternative to the Hawaiian shirt. Don't ask. Okay, ask. My best friend's boyfriend has a thing for Hawaiian shirts. I may or may not have ripped one off of him and hid it in a ceiling tile. I want him to wear that American Apparel shirt.
