Glambert

Is it sad that I am completely inspired by Adam Lambert's style? Everything down to the bump-it greaser hairstyle, the black nail polish, and the sparkly blazer jackets make me extremely envious.


Today while trying to attempt this look, I realized it actually isn't all that hard, it's just that you need the right shoes to get it down. Some shiny oxfords or boots should do, but make sure they have that "rebel" look with them...like "bbbbbaaad to the bonnneee!"


Also, did anyone else find his AMA performance to be completely inspiring? The costumes were FABULOUS. Did you know Adam designed them? They reminded me of the Betty Page bondage days--strappy, seductive, and burlesque.



Oh yes, I hope everyone had a Happppy Thanksgivinggg!


GO INDIANS ;)

As a matter of fact, I do read Teen Vogue.

It's kind of sad actually-- my fascination with Teen Vogue. The only thing that makes me uncomfortable with talking about liking of Teen Vogue is, well, the title of TEEN Vogue. C'mon, it's not really even for teens! If anything, there are more adults in it than teens, so I don't care. I LOVE Teen Vogue and have been a consistent reader since my Frosh year in high school. It's the one magazine, out of most, that actually encourages me to dress cool. aha. I love the spreads, the photo shoots,the clothes they advertise, everything.



Speaking of Teen Vogue's spreads, in the August 2009 issue they had a spread of these incredible shoes which I had no idea about prior to reading the magazine. They are called Winklepickers. I know, right? The name of them keeps you asking for more! They are expensive though... and they come from a brand by the name of Underground England.

The closest I can get to these precious puppies is a bottle of spray paint and some cheap oxfords from the thrift store down the street. 

Another great thing about Teen Vogue is how they can literally take any article of clothing and make it look cool. "Oh, hmmm, Camo pants and an over-sized knitted sweater? Add a belt and heels... FABULOUS!" Why is it so damn hard to make the clothing from my disgustingly huge pile look cool? Maybe I just don't think it looks cool? I don't know...
