Helena Bonham Carter~ Style Icon

I'm afraid I may be alone in my love of Helena Bonham Carter's style.  She's adorable and quirky, and often on the "worst dressed"/"what were they thinking" lists.  But I love her anyway.
I love the old-fashioned aspects she adds to her ensembles, always a Victorian or Edwardian twist.  So veeery British.










Shopaholics- How do they do it?




I love to read fashion blogs!
But I wonder...
How do they do it?
How do they afford it all?
Are they independently wealthy?  Do they just make great money?  Are they in debt up to their eyeballs?
I know it is really none of my business, but how does a 17 year old afford $1000 shoes?
I am totally envious.
Do. not. get. it.

Do you?

Faith 21 Rant!




Why is Faith 21 so incredibly FUGLY?!?! Forever 21 can make cheap, fashion-forward clothing for teeny people, but their attempt at something above a size 10 is horrid! Totally looks cheap and slutty. And how about a SLEEVE or TWO?! 98% of it is sleeveless.....in the WINTER.

It's almost been a year, Forever 21, and you still have not produced anything cohesive or attractive. What a WASTE.

Rant over.
