I can't see

Julia Restoin Rotifeld has a pair. Britney Spears has a pair. Now I want a pair! To be honest, this is a story of a true consumer - me. I've seen these reading glasses on Brit Brit before but just thought they were naf fake (yes i know Brit does actually need them) American Apparel hipster esque glasses and never really thought much more of them except that Britney was kinda cute (like a teddy bear, not like a fox) wearing them.

THEN I hear about these Prism glasses that are very hip and cool and awesome and that JULIA RESTOIN ROTIFELD has a pair of 'Rio's (just like Britney) in dark tortoiseshell and I was hooked. I almost clicked buy. What a sucker. But do I want them?I think I want them in the light tortoiseshell instead of the dark - a bit less cliche and/or All American Rejects like; what do we think?

But in reality, I have a very good pair of glasses that are not fake looking (I hope) and that make my round face look less round because the are square/rectangle. The Rio's are very round. I'm also always very skeptical about buying glasses online because I think they are the one thing that should be tried on prior to buying. So I guess all of this really means a big fat no Rio's. Sigh...for now anyway...

Bitches I hate to love

Shine on me

Some girls are just more shinier than others. Their skin is better, their hair is less frizzy and their outfits are more co-ordinated. Then there are the girls who's nail polish is always chipped, shoes are muddy and just don't have a general aura of shine as the others. I fear, my friends, I am in the latter group. And I think I'm okay with that...really...But there is something appealing about the world of the shine that makes me feel like poo from time to time. It would be nice to step out of the house frizz and lint free once in a while. Maybe the reason I am not shiny is because I'm always in a rush when I get ready in the mornings. I LOVE sleeping and often trade in getting ready time for 'HOLY SHIT I NEED TO BE AT WORK TEN MINS AGO' time. Julia Restoin Rotifeld (above) is, as many know, a sort of idol of mine. She has big hair and brows like me (and a wardrobe I'd like to think was mine). But she IS very shiny. Perfect hair. Well synced outfit. Shiny. But are these shiny girls more appealing than their raggamuffin counterparts? Do jobs, boys, shop assistants, construction workers, dogs, and life in general favor more well put-together, prefecto girls? Well, it sure feels like it. Sigh

Shiny but not cosy

Julia Restoin Roitfeld is my big hair, big eye-browed idol. She makes me feel good about mine. A peek into her abode via The Selby made me feel slightly like a green-eyed monster, mainly aimed towards the below shoes. However, it also made me rather happy with my little hidey hole. While I will admit is slightly on the colder side of the temperature scale, it actually looks like a room - not an art gallery.
