I Love Fashion, I Love Food

Food and fashion go hand in hand, though not always with positive connotations. I love food, especially when it looks cute. My favorites are those little chocolate-filled cookies in the shape of koala bears. I probably spent like half of my time as a little kid buying them from the Asian supermarket...

So when a designer incorporates food into his or her designs, or when an editorial features some sort of cuisine, my heart fills with joy. And honestly, who doesn't love eating. Even people trying to lose weight on Jenny Craig or whatever want to fill their stomachs with delicious things. You have to eat to survive, so why not make it worthwhile?


so pretentious

Jeremy Scott's "Food Fight" collection

A print from Scott's collection.

Though I don't completely agree with the quote, I would love to eat fries out of a Chanel container. It would make me feels so high class; so very luxe. The fries look amazingly svelte in the black-and-white container.

Crystal Renn in Vogue Paris October

I bought these cupcake-shaped bandaids today (they came with a "secret prize," a puffy cupcake sticker!). I would post the photos I took, but uploading is taking forever. So instead, here is a generic photo from google:

Soooooooooo much good. I would wear one on my forehead. Sursly. I would.
They've also got beef, bacon, pickle, cowboy and monkey bandaids, and there are probably more that I haven't seen. I actually bought the cupcake ones at the resort I am currently at, but I know Ricky's also sells them. 

GAWD I love food.

P.S. How delightful is this?



Photos: When clicked on, each photo should link back to its source.

The Big Screens, The Plastic-Made Dreams

I'm cringing at myself for composing a title of song lyrics, nonetheless lyrics written by One Night Only. But I couldn't help it; I've been listening to "Say You Don't Want It" on repeat for the past 48 hours (see previous post for music video).


;)

But I digress. I received my March issues of Harper's Bazaar and Vogue in the mail on Tuesday, finally, and I took some a few photos of the stuff I found interesting (I'm still too lazy to use the scanner).

 More Balenciaga Spring 2011 with Yuri and Gisele.
Why is Crystal Renn still considered "plus size?" (Also, to any of you who watched America's Next Top Model last night, why does Tyra feel the need to replace the term "plus size" with "fiercely real?" I understand that she is trying to encourage others to realize that plus size models are just as gorgeous as those who wear a size zero, but honestly? It comes off as very contrived. Can't straight-size models be "fiercely real" too? They're all human beings.)

STOP. These campaigns are not tasteful, and they do not make me want to go out and buy that sooper cyute tied crop top with the plunging neckline.

Also, the Metropolitan Museum of Art will be hosting an exhibition featuring 100 of Alexander McQueen's greatest designs! Read more about it HERE (ooh shameless self promotion). I'm really hoping the exhibition will include videos and/or pieces from McQueen's early collection, Highland Rape. The collection was shown in 1996; therefore, I was one year old and too worried about drinking baby formula and burping to appreciate McQueen's artistry. I also can't find photos or videos of it anywhere.

More Stuff I Like

I have Daphne Guinness on the mind. Why is she so terribly stylish? I think my favorite quote of hers has to be, "I'm dressed really weird." I also like how she apparently dresses for the "old people who laugh at me in airports" and not the fashion world. I somehow sort of doubt this but it's amusing all the same.

I also found this Etsy store that sells horrifically campy shoes, probably even campier than the sparkly felt gingerbread house sitting on my dining room table. 
You can shop "Sole Sensations, Fantasy Shoe Sculpture by: Robert Taylor" HERE.

Anyway, I thought I would share photos from a few of my favorite editorials. I added some of them to the sidebar on your right, but I want to put them on here so you can enjoy in their full glory.
 

I'm getting my braces off tomorrow!
