In a World Full of Cheerios
Everyone has a favorite color, or at least a color scheme that appeals to them more than most. Recently I was thinking about a quote that took over my eighth grade yearbook, "In a world full of Cherrios, be a Fruitloop."
As a sophomore in high school, I started wearing my favorite color, green, everyday. I would wear sweaters that were green and accessories that were green. I would wear headbands that were turquoise and necklaces that were in the sea-green family. Many of my friends named me the green girl--but much of the time my signature color was very subtle. A signature color is just a way to "be a Fruitloop." From belts to sweaters to jewelry, if you have a favorite color, find a tone that accents the beauty of your skin tone or brings out your eyes. The color green matches my eyes and represents my love of trees and water. Green is a color that makes me feel comfortable and happy to be wearing.
Do you have a favorite color that you love to wear?
Find a color and try making it your signature color!

J'adore Le Style Des Hommes
The tux got me thinking (well that and the song You and Me- Dave Matthews Band) about how much I love boys! I love their style and their clothes--let's face it even the most stylish woman in the world loves men's clothing because they are just sooo comfortable-- I love their personalities and all their differences. While I wouldn't call myself boy crazy by any means, I do know I am an artist and take pleasure in the small details of how a guys face is structured and even more especially the vibe of a guys individual fashion sense.
"J" ,a guy a met in a class over a year ago, is no exception. J sat in the seat in front of me in one of my classes last year; he was interesting, funny, and very into being different from everyone else. While his character was very different from any guy I had met, his style wasn't so much. Now His style has become trendy and almost outlandish, but the interesting thing: I have become more attracted to him because of it. Between the suspenders and how he rolls every article of clothing he can (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/15/fashion/15ROW.html), his style has become something that as his friend has made me start to think of him as a person that could be more than just a friend.
Tell me what you think.
Do you think the rolled pants/shirts trend is hot or not? Have you ever been attracted to someone because of a trend they advertise? Are there any styles/trends that attract you?

This tux paired with simple black pumps speaks volumes, and it must be my first post because Kirsten Dunst shows such a confidence in wearing this tuxedo that it is undeniably sexy, just as Coco Chanel could where clothing options meant for a man but still cause them to reveal her feminine side.
(Of course this is Audrey Tautou in the movie Coco Before Chanel, but you get my point.) Kirsten Dunst is not really making as much of a statement now in the 21st century, because it has been done before, but what one should notice is the beauty of the pop of color that is in the tux and then as you travel up to KD's face, how the only color used in her makeup is red lipstick.
Note: the red lipstick makes a statement without going over board--the rest of KD's makeup is neutral, the blue in the tux softens the look, making it not so much of a harsh look, and the pencil leg of the pant in conjunction with the black pump pull the look together and make KD look still ultra feminine.
Nice Job KD!
What Would Coco Say?
Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress.
One way to be sexy, feminine, and elegant without a new dress.
All my love.
S.P.
