Colorblock Purses: I like this trend.

I didn’t used to be so into purses. The previous residents of my home are to blame. THANKS A LOT, LESLIE WILKERSON. Your misdirected Nordstrom catalog featuring brightly colored purses let to me googling some purse blogs which led to a new obsession.

MAC and Rodarte Collaborate in Stupidity

MAC learns the hard way that human suffering is not chic.

When I saw the first promotional image of MAC’s Rodarte collection I actually laughed out loud because it reminded me so much of the homeless chic fashion parodied in the movie, Zoolander. The girl purposely looks like a corpse. Then when I read more about the collection and the problems in Juarez I couldn’t believe that those in charge actually gave this the green light. It is as if they were trying to be as offensive as humanly possible with this. Everyone wants to be edgy in the fashion world. But when you go too far and jump headfirst off the cliff into a sea of bad taste, the fans will revolt.

Cute bags: Crowded Teeth

The pandas love you.

My good friend, Michelle, designs all manner of adorable items for her brand, Crowded Teeth. I’ve known Michelle for many, many years (since she was in high school!). I am so proud of everything she has accomplished in the time that we’ve been friends. I love when people have a dream; when they say, “I’m going to do this.” And then they do it. Great job, Michelle! I love all the cuteness you’ve bestowed upon the world! <3

Review: Montagne Jeunesse

How can you not laugh?

I see Montagne Jeunesse Facial Masques in the drugstore all the time and every single time the pictures on the packaging crack me up. I hope they never change, so funny. I tried out the Chocolate Mud Masque which is supposed to cleanse, draw out impurities yet still be moisturizing, and most importantly… smell like chocolate. I threw the masque on after cleansing my face with water, as the directed stated. I looked almost as hilarious as the woman on the packaging but I wasn’t able to find any leaves to stick over my eyeballs (sorry, guys). I left the thing on for about a half hour as I lost track of time (directions state 15 min) and my face felt sufficiently cleaned.

Perspective on life courtesy of Top Model

There was a hilarious moment a few years ago that my boyfriend and I saw on Top Model (he often watches this with me but will probably never admit it) during cycle 8. Natasha has one of the best quotes I’ve ever heard on the show said to another would-be model during a failed challenge freak-out. You can watch the whole clip to see the back story to the freak-out, or just skip to 3:44 for the awesome quote:

“I just want to tell you that some people have war in their country.”

Perfect. My boyfriend and I repeat this quote all the time. It is good for many of life’s tough situations. Thank you, Top Model. More Natasha funnies after the jump.
