The People Puzzler

I haven't been online a lot recently because I've been preoccupied with other things. Usually these "things" just include sleeping, but I've also been visiting colleges and catching up on my fashion research. However, I would have to say my new favorite hobby is crossword puzzles -- more specifically -- celeb crosswords.



I swear this puzzle book is amazing! I've always loved finishing the puzzles at the end of each week's People but now they have a huge book with 100 puzzles in it. I was in awe when I saw it and I knew I had to purchase it for the $9.99 that it was. Whenever I find a free second I find myself trying to finish these puzzles. However, I don't think I'm up to date on celeb news from the 90's, so that's why I have my mom as a cheat code.

The Rules of the Season

In this August's issue of Harper's Bazaar, they list 9 Rules of the Season. Here they are:

1. Opt for Hot Shades of Purple and Pink




Personally, I really like this trend. It's good to finally see designers setting bright trends for fall rather than the regular dark shades, tights, and blazers. Pink and purple are the perfect colors to do it too. Those are two colors that most people wouldn't normally expect to see in a fall fashion line up, and they add a lot of flavor to the boring feel of winter.

2. Add a Touch of Fur



Not much different from fashion a few years ago, but as long as it's fake fur I'm all for it.

3. Grab a Doctor's Bag



I like this style a lot. It's classy and elegant, perfect for the work place, but it can also be dressed down with some jeans and flats. Not to mention some of these bags are huge! Just enough room for everything you need and more.

4. Go Mad for Plaid



I've never been a fan of plaid. I don't know why, I just don't find it very attractive. But hey, if it's one of the rules I guess I'll have to get used to it! Maybe I could try just a dab of plaid sometime myself.

5. Try Long Leather Gloves



I love this look! It's chic looking without being too trendy. I'd love to get my hands on (or in) a pair of these gloves sometime. Although I should probably wait until it gets a bit colder. Shorts with a tank top and long, leather gloves might look a little silly.

6. Choose Camel



This look seems a bit bland for me. I'm a very upbeat girl, so I like to keep my style that way. Although this color would be perfect for something business like, which I hope to get into a bit of sometime soon.

7. Let Leopard Rule



Ever since I can remember I have loved leopard print. I used to have my room decorated with it when I was a kid. Although today I'd rather not sleep in the jungle, I still love the look for the runway. It's classy, fun, and a bit exotic looking. My main point of the story: keep in mind that I started the leopard trend when I was merely a first grader.

8. Winterize Your Sandals



I like this style also. It's different, but not too strange looking. Perfect for school or work, this look can obviously be very versatile if you play with colors and sizes.

9. Pick Cobalt and Grape



These two have always been classic colors to me. They can both be used either formally or dressed down. These colors can be good for shopping, dining, or making business deals. I love tailored women's suits in these two colors, along with blouses and shoes as well.


So I guess overall the rules for the new season seem decent. Some of the looks I'm not pleased with but maybe they just need some getting used to. Most of them, though, I'm uber excited to try on and wear out on the town.

cute kid to hot mama

What with it being a slow summer and all, I've been spending a lot of my time (well more than usual atleast) reading up on new summer trends online and in the latest magazines out. I always note my favorite actresses; the best dressed and the prettiest. And what with her new movie Hairspray coming out, Amanda Bynes has been gracing many of said magazines. Well, since I've noticed her, theres one question that I have to ask myself: When on earth did Amanda Bynes get so hot?



I mean the last I remember of the girl she was the 12 year old kid on All That saying "Dear Ashley... thattttt's me!" Yes I've seen her in a couple movies and she had a small sitcom, but she hasn't really been on the red carpet for years. Not to mention her movies bombed.



I guess in the end, I forget that celebrities grow up. You know.. they are real people and they need time off to grow, and thats what they do. Plus, if that doesn't work I'm sure they can afford to get implants, extensions, and a new wardrobe.
