Prints and Tailoring; Keys to Fall

Sorry for the lack of updates this week, its been a little hectic! Just in case you're still upset, I'll distract you with shoes! Julian Louie x Aldo Working on everything for the launch of Ostentology, starting classes, and working at my uber monotonous day job has worn me out! But I haven't been worked hard enough to stop looking at inspiration for my fall wardrobe! There are two things that I've dubbed crucial to any outfit I put together; proper fit, and plenty of unique prints. The top half of this outfit is nondescript but the perfectly sized collar and pants make the look classic with an extremely chic twist. I don't think it's appropriate to tell you what kind of things I would do for those pants. The print is SO cool, I...

Fall Transitions

I am sad (but excited!!!) to announce that in the next 7-10 days, The Fagazine will be coming to an end. Well, not really. It's just changing it's name, getting a face lift, and moving to Tijuana.  But really, I feel that Ryan and I have outgrown this little ball of sassifrass pop culture blog, and it's time for us to move on to something a little more, how should I say it, fierce. With that, I bring you Ostentology: Ostentology came to be when I was having a conversation with friends about the way a certain celebrity dresses. They described the look as ostentatious, but I begged to differ. I have always been a proponent of the more is more philosophy when it comes to style. "Toning it down" isn't a part of my vocabulary....

Red Carpet time, bitches.

The Emmy's Red Carpet festivities were fairly standard last night, except for the fact that there were so many fugly dresses making their way through the storm of cameras. Nina Dobrev in Donna Karan Let's hit 'em where it hurts, shall we? Amber, I love you dearly because you can sang. However, it is NOT acceptable to get your Red Carpet dress from the prom wardrobe rack on Glee. Is that made of cheap motel's bed sheet? You should have shined a black light on it before wearing.. I heard that Amy Poehler asked Peter Som to make this dress for her out of metallic spanx. Bad news: I can see her uterus.  Good news: She's not pregnant.  It's time to put your cleavage away bitch. You're at the Emmy's, not the...

Ralph Lauren S/S 2012

Ralph Lauren has determined that the era to emanate next season is the roaring twenties. I couldn't be happier about it. Double breasted menswear jackets, dropped waistlines, high shine satin dresses, metallic trim. I'm elated.  My favorite 18 looks from the collection. The daytime attire in this collection includes neat sweaters with silk shirts paired with bias cut chiffon skirts. The platform sandals, espadrille platforms, cloche hats, floral embroidered long fringe bags exudes a walk in the city during springtime in the 20's. For evening, Ralph included the gowns with metallic fringe beckoning to the flappers of the 21st century, but he also included his signature masculine tailoring showcasing wide mannish trousers...
