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.

Formspring!

I added a Formspring over to the left. Feel free to ask me anything.

I am lacking inspiration right now because I am ramping up to a new job. AHL BE BACK!

In case you were wondering...

I *AM* wearing a leopard print "snuggeh" in the Little Edie photo below.

That is all.

For now.

HeeHee

I am staunch!

"But you see in dealing with me, the relatives didn't know that they were dealing with a staunch character and I tell you if there's anything worse than dealing with a staunch woman... S-T-A-U-N-C-H. There's nothing worse, I'm telling you. They don't weaken, no matter what."

~Edith "Little Edie" Bouvier Beale

(Apparently I had a one too many cocktails, and did my Little Edie impression at the family Christmas gathering. Good thing Hubby captured it on film.......or not.)

If you haven't seen Grey Gardens, I highly recommend you do, dahling! And do see the newer HBO version, as well.

It was a very Barry Christmas, y'all.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!
