I hate straight hair. Well, the kind that most people want.

Why does everyone want stick straight hair? What's the appeal? Why spend hundreds of dollars on these fancy flat irons and straight perms to get such damaged unappealing hair? Most straight hair fanatics I know have dull dead "straight" hair. I thought hair was supposed to be voluminous or at the least, somewhat healthy.

I guess my idea on what makes hair look good is different from I guess... everyone else. I think for any hair style (straight or whatever) to look good, it has to at least look healthy. Burning your hair with a flat iron every morning sucks the life and shine out of hair. Also, hair should have body. Stick straight flat hair is the opposite of this. I still don't understand the craze over it. I always hear girls talk about how they like the Victoria's Secret models' hair. In the VS fashion shows and catalog, they typically have big ass bouncy wavy/curly hair. So why do people still staighten their hair?



I know a lot of people will say that I say I don't like straight hair because my hair is naturally straight, but they are wrong. If my hair were naturally straight, everything would be much easier. But it's not wavy enough nor straight enough to let air dry or put mousse in after showers. I HAVE to blowdry it or it looks like some kinky in between wavy/straight crap. I am quite lazy when it comes to my hair because I have a lot of it and it's so high maintenance. Anyway, bigger hair also gives the illusion of more hair. Don't girls always want to look like they have more hair? I know straight hair can still look healthy and full of life, and if it does, then great. But most flat-addicts I know of, do not have healthy shiny hair.

Someone help me. Because I just don't understand. I can't.

I know it's been so long, but I've been so busy and okay, a bit lazy. Working full-time really is full-time! But no worries, I still spend most of my free time scrounging online (since work and traffic here in LA prevents me from leaving the apartment once I get home) for fashiony fun that makes me as happy as Susiecakes does. What's Susiecakes? My new non-fashion, more fatty, addiction that I blame on my current job for being so close to San Vicente. The vanilla cupcake is my favorite, though I haven't tried many others. Red Velvet is a no-no for me. Cheese + dessert = wrong. I don't care if "it doesn't taste like cheese!". It's still cheese.

On to a bit of fashion. I'm looking for a good pair of basic black or brown riding boots, or something similar. I like Frye's Campus, as seen here on Rachel Bilson:

Although I'm thinking of something less rugged, more simple and sleek? I saw a pair at a new boutique at home (it's trying really hard, the only thing that works so far in this boutique are these boots), but I can't remember the designer. They were black, skinny, leather, tall. I'll have to look into them again.

And I of course, have picked up several of the GO thingers, including the Erin Fetherston purple layered chiffon dress, despite its negative reviews online. I don't know, I think with some steaming and the right hair shoes and everything else, it can work without looking too cheap and costumey as reviews say. The Hollywould stuff is a bit sad. It's nothing new or that different from other no-name brands. Too safe? Not sure how to describe it. Just not so exciting. Although the glittery lace heels may be the only thing that catch my attention.

There's a James Perse sample sale this Saturday and I am a wee bit excited for it. Mainly because there's a shirt I keep seeing that I really like, but it's $150. It's just a simple white button down, but you can tell it would fit well, and I think I should get some more worky things even if my work is casual. Basic things aren't ever very fun to buy, but they're necessary and once you buy them, you wear them all the time. More info:

This post was a bit all over-the-place, and I know I didn't bring much to the fashion table, but it's a big improvement from what I was posting before (which was nothing). Hopefully more to come! I forget about all the fashiony things I want to write about because there's so much and not enough time!

Does anyone else ever get all anxious and frantic feeling knowing that there is something you want but know you may not be able to have it? Like, it's attainable in price, but actually getting it is a challenge?

I know it may sound weird, but I get this way often. Like waiting in lines at sample sales. What if everyone else gets the good stuff first? Or the black and white Temperley dress for the GO line. It's not online, and there is a L and an XL on Ebay, but I'm afraid I'll have to pay too much for it on Ebay or I'll miss completely out on it. I get all uneasy and uncomfortable. Is this crazy?

Oh well, I'm crazy :)

Excuse me for this pictureless post. I'm trying to post more often now, but this new working full-time thang is a bit time consuming.

Still Alive...

I haven't posted in forever, but I've been busy with new jobs and moving and ... not having oodles of time like I did in college anymore. But I'm still here, and I still spend all available free time obsessing over everything fashionable. Some updates:

I love Alice Temperley's line for Target. Very chic, perfect for fall. Materials aren't the greatest, of course, but you can't expect both design and great quality for Target prices. The black and white striped leaf sweater is one of my favorites.


I now live in West L.A., not doing fashion professionally, but that's still in the plans :)

I do miss the sales in the Cooper Building.

I need a basic go with everything black bag. I kind of like Botkier's Sophie bag and the Bing Bang Ruched Messenger.

I know I'm behind, but I still want a good pair of wide-legged jeans. I can't seem to find the Seven Gingers anywhere. I'm not sure these would work since Sevens haven't done quite well on my body (except for the Dojos). I also like the J&Company Hollywood jeans.

Rachel Bilson in Seven for all Mankind Ginger jeans

Been stocking up on the basics, tights, cotton tshirts, sweaters. They aren't very fun to buy, but I'll wear them tons.

I know this post is ghetto and somehow the Target model's face is blue, but Blogger is being weird.

For my own use just so I don't forget (not that I will, just in case):

Ray Ban Small Wayfarer - black, white?
London Sole SALE white patent flats @ La Bella
Lovcat tuxedo cream/black wallet (need wallet badly) SALE @ La Bella

And damn me for not getting the Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent black belt at the sale. Similar no name ones are like $65!

Anya Hindmarc

Really? $100-300 for this? I mean, it has a good idea behind it. Save the earth by not using plastic blags, blah blah. But are women bidding on it because it's so earth friendly? I don't think so. This bag was like $15 retail. Does anyone waiting in line for this bag really love the earth that much? Couldn't a real earth lover just get any old tote bag at like the swap meet for $5 instead of waiting in the lines that were going up Robertson Blvd's ass a few Wednesdays ago? What's the hype? Is it just because it's been all over the Internet and in magazines that's making it so popular? There's one on eBay that sold for $355. REALLY. Am I missing out on something here? I saw one in person last week. There was this woman waiting for the elevator with me in my building and was carrying one in addition to her (Marc Jacobs) purse. It looked the same as it does in the pictures. Nothing special. I just don't get it. Kinda like open-toe boots.

Bette

KORK EASE. I first came across these some months back at Saks. I love the classicness (is that a word? Well now it is) of it and how it goes with everything. It also looks comfortable and although it isn't the cheapest (approx. $188), they're so timeless they'll last for a long time. They also come in tons of colors, even metallics. Get em everywhere, Zappos, for one.

Overwhelmed. It's the best word to describe how I feel when I walk into malls like South Coast Plaza or on websites like Net-A-Porter. I'm bombarded with Chloe, Louboutin, 12th Street by Cynthia Vincent, Marc Jacobs, Chanel, Stella McCartney, Marni, and a million more. What's a girl to do? I want it all so badly that it gives me a headache. And heartache. Since Fat Bitch is also Poor Bitch. I feel like I'm not living up to my fashion potential. Sadness.

At least Alice Temperley and Erin Fetherston will soon release their goodies for Target. Even then it's a race to the store and website to the snag the goodies.

Jeweled

Not that I have $406 to spend, but I'm still sad that these Miu Miu flats are sold out. Well except for a size 39, but who wears a 39? I kept seeing them on Glam.com ads and I loved them every time. Goodbye Miu Miu flats.

Summer isn't my favorite. It's so hot that when I wear dresses or shorts, my thighs sweat buckets onto my leather seats and they become sort of a slip-n-slide. I know, I know. I'm irresistible. Not so much.

I CAN'T wait for fall. I love fall clothing, and the magazines agree. The biggest issues are fall issues and they're packed with everything. Except what's up with the open-toe boot? They're in August's Lucky and other magazines as well, but really? Boots are typically worn in the fall and winter since it's cold. So what's the point of the open toe? I mean I know fashion isn't all about practicality, but the open-toe boot doesn't even look good. Especially the ones where only one toe shows (gross).

Fall also brings the next Project Runway! And Alice Temperley for Target (have you seen her stuff? Go to pressroom.target.com). And no more sweaty thigh syndrome.

And this is completely off topic, but I'm listening to Duncan Sheik's "Barely Breathing". It reminds me of sunny days and no worries, aka the 90s. Click on the link to go to the video of the song.

I recently came upon this and this.

And while I agree that babydoll TOPS make women look pregnant, I disagree that babydoll dresses make all women, "even a size 0" (as someone said in the comments) look pregnant and fat. I have a few babydoll dresses, and they do not make me look pregnant, and I am a size 0 (well, usually. Been gettin' a little plump lately). I think it mostly depends on the fabric, the cut, and the woman. If anything, they make me look even younger than I already look, but NOT pregnant.

As for the "men don't like babydoll dresses" thang, well I don't really give a damn. And to the commenter who wrote this:

Women today (since the late 60's) are so stupid. I guess most of these girls commenting here and saying this article is BS just have to say "well, um, I don't need a man anyway! I don't have to dress for a man! Stupid men, I don't need 'em... *goes to NOW meeting in Birkenstocks with no makeup on*" because they can't get one. So they decide to just wear what they want and disguise the real reason they do by calling it "self-esteem" when it's really because, even when they tried to dress to attract men, it didn't work. If you're not dressing to attract men and make yourself look fabulous, why bother? Just wear a bath robe and no make-up, because, based on the logic you dress for yourself, that would be the best choice because it's comfortable and easy to do.

You're a dumbass. Like many already said in the comments section, several women don't dress for men! Who wants that constant attention from guys based on how your ass looks in some jeans anyway? And just because someone says they don't dress for men doesn't mean they're hairy anti-men feminist types. Usually I feel women who dress for men are either really looking for sex, or are just insecure and need the validation. Also, I "got one". And it wasn't in a skintight mini skirt and boob shirt. Some women, the ones who dress for themselves, may feel most comfortable in a "bathrobe and no make-up", but feel BEST (as in more special, womanly, elegant, whatever) in nicer clothing, babydoll or not.

As for this idiotic question:

If you're not dressing to attract men and make yourself look fabulous, why bother?


Why bother? Because some of us actually enjoy fashion for how it makes us feel without the ogling and gawking from men. Any woman can still "look fabulous" without dressing in slutty tight outfits. Actually, I think MOST women look fabulous and SEXY in the unexpected. Not a leopard print fat-hugging tube dress. And often, women who dress for men end up looking like whores and think what they wear is "sexy" when really it's just slutty and way too small. And I would much rather see someone who MIGHT be pregnant underneath a babydoll dress than some jiggly girl who thinks she's sexy and attracting men in her trampy outfits. Those girls scream insecurity.

That dolt who posted that original comment needs to be slapped.

I'm a whore for the GO lines at Target, and Patrick Robinson's may have been the most eh-whatever one for me so far. However, the new Libertine stuff has me all excited again. I love the bow blouse. So far my favorite has been Proenza, but we'll see about Libertine in person on July 15. Follow here to see the looks.

It's not often that I rebuy shoes, or ever, really. I've never had to, my shoes usually last quite a long time because I don't wear them all that often. That's probably because I spend the rest of the time in my Dr. Scholls. They come in practically every color, they go with almost everything, and they're only 30 bucks. I recently came across a shiny (not REALLY shiny, but you know what I mean) new pair in a pale pink, a darker pink, a lavender color, a tan, and white. I already have the white in a 6, but they are BEAT up. I don't usually wear shoes until they're that beat up, but they're just so versatile. They're good for someone who doesn't want complete flats but still wants some height since they're still comfortable.

I got a size 7. I had to get the dude at the store to adjust the buckle so the size 7 would fit, since the store didn't sell a 6. I also got the white. It goes with everything. Except now the shoes are pretttty tight, but that's how they gotta be to fit. The only negative quality? They're a bit hard to walk in at first, and the buckle is really hard to adjust.

Once you get past those two little details however, they are fabulous.

Muumuus are greatly misunderstood. They are extremely comfortable and it feels like you're wearing nothing at all. How do I know this? I am wearing my very own muumuu, given to me by my mom, who got it from my aunt from Thailand. Sexy piece of purple and pink flowery fabric it is. If I were on my own computer I would upload a picture. It has a square neckline with a very slight ruffly sleeve (though it is sleeveless). It has a purple background with a giant pink leafy print on it. Oh who am I kidding. They're still ugly, despite their comfort. It's just so hot here in LA/Long Beach. Someone needs to make the muumuu work. Maybe Kate Moss.

Leave it to Homer Simpson to be able to pull it off.

And it's you and me in the summertime... Off topic, but I do enjoy this song by the Sundays. Very summery, feminine, and happy. Makes me kind of drift off and forget about everything. If that makes any sense.

... and we'll be hand in hand down in the park with a squeeze and a sigh and that twinkle in your eye...

all that sunshine banishes the dark

THERE ARE some things I can't help. Like biting my nails (I know I KNOW) or putting tons of butter on my waffles at Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles (it's delicious). Another one I can't help is my love for Nicole Richie. I know she got all scary skinny, then plumped up a bit, and now is back to looking all Ethiopian-like, but I like her clothes. I can't help that. I don't care if Rachel Zoe helped her get out of her pink Uggs, long ratty extensions, and horrible poses. My love for her is unconditional.

So it's no surprise that I love this too:

Not sure about the sunglasses, but the high-waisted shorts over the bodysuit leotard thing and Louboutins I love. I haven't gotten myself any wide-legged jeans or high-waisted shorts/jeans yet, but it's on my list. I don't know how this would look on most other people, but she seems to be able to pull it off.

London Sole

A great alternative to Chanel ballet flats, if that's what tickles your fancy. Certainly tickles my fancy. They have several styles, and while they are much cheaper than Chanel's ballet flats, they are still priced around $155, depending on your choice of style. I like the simple ballet and the quilted as shown above.

Excited

I'M EXCITED. So everyone probably knows about Kate Moss' thang with Topshop, but nothing has really tickled my fancy. I feel like you can get those waistcoats at any Forever 21/H&M type store, and the long skirts just aren't my style. EXCEPT... the white one-shoulder dress coming at the end of this week. I have to be on top of it to get it, because my size usually sells out first. It's in the June/July issue of Teen Vogue (why is it June/July? Why doesn't my birthday month of June get its own issue?) along with other items from the line.

Harlow Tees

HARLOW TEES. Despite all the cocaine use, and seeing her face on every single advertisement from Versace to Rimmel, I still love Kate Moss. That's why I think this Harlow shirt is perfect for all Moss lovers. If Miss Moss doesn't tickle your model fancy, Harlow also makes similar shirts with Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, Gisele, and other's faces on them as well. Hmm... it appears RevolveClothing's website isn't working right now, I'll post pictures later (even though you probably know what shirt I'm talking about).

(Pssst... have you checked out Kate Moss' line at Topshop? Doesn't do much for me, unfortunately)

Love is..

Yeah, I know. OMG.

I Slept With Dylan First!

I must have this Junk Food shirt. I'm not so much a t-shirt kinda gal, but this is an exception. Season 2 of 90210 is coming out very soon in May and even though I was about... seven or so when it did it doesn't matter. I've always thought I was born in the wrong decade. Anyway.

I love Luke Perry. Or more like Dylan McKay. Before he left the show and came back with a receding hairline. Who cares if Brandon has sparkling blue eyes (though they are quite pretty)? Dylan is so nonchalant about everything and drives a motorcycle! He's always held the key to my heart. And even though Brenda is supposed to be a bitch in real life, she's great with Dylan on the show (screw Kelly). Must have this! Available here along with several others.

(Look how good Dylan looks on the shirt!)

Random

This isn't actually something I've worn, but more of a product of boredom. I could see it as something suitable for work.

White button down - Express (a hand-me-down from my sistuh)
Black velvet vest - Guess
Cream/gold striped Cardigan - H&M
Black Skirt - H&M
Black tights

I have so many potential outfits and pieces in my closet that I never get the opportunity to put together and wear. One day I will live some fancy luxurious life with white Persian cats and Harry Winston diamonds and I'll go to balls (do people still have 'balls'? Like Cinderella style?) in fancy Vera Wang gowns. Someday.

I shouldn't...

...but I love Lindsay Lohan's Marc Jacob's shoes! I feel guilty because she's wearing them and I don't like to be associated with liking things with girls who let their flowershops hang out, but I really do like them. To redeem me, however, I did see them first on a model on the H&M website in white. I don't like her taupe colored ones, I prefer black or white (taupe washes me out), but they're lovely! I can't find them anywhere though! :(

Tights in California

New York

Is it okay to still be wearing tights in April in California? The days are sunny and warm with a chilly breeze every now and then, and I sort of feel like I can't wear them anymore. But I love tights. They seem so simple and forgettable, but they're so versatile and do so much to an outfit. I wish I were in New York, where fashion seems to go beyond just premium denim and sleeveless tops. It's more interesting, more unique. Or maybe I'm just jaded by west coast style.

Photos from The Satorialist.

Cuz you're a New York City Boy...

Alexander McQueen

Back from NY, and what was intended to be a quick "nap" that ended in 8 hours of sleep and missing Top Model and Shear Genius. Must've been from the trip. Anyhoots, some of my favorite stores in NY are the obvious ones and less obvious. Here the top three (in no order):

1. JEFFREY - I love this store. The people are super nice and have you seen all of their shoes? Dsquared, Louboutins, Manolo, YSL, those Miu Miu Maryjanes a la Lindsay Lohan ad campaign, and more! The men (only seemed to be men working...) were really friendly and even "helped" pick out this silver minidress for me as a joke, since it required gigantic boobs which I lack. This was after I said a silver Balenciaga jacket would be too big for me (and of course, way too expensive).

2. OUT OF OUR CLOSET - Not quite sure if this is the exact name since I didn't look at the name of the store when entering or while in. It's a consignment store that sells tons of Birkins and other designer labels like Prada and every other big name for much, much cheaper. TONS of women's shoes for over 50% off retail. Sure they're used, but in great condition! Found a pair of turqouise Marc Jacobs shoes I liked, but unfortunately they were a size 5. I am not. Also found a tiny fuschia Balenciaga Le Dix bag that tickled my fancies. I wanted to come back, but no time!

3. MANOLO BLAHNIK - Since there are only two stores, how can you not go? And forget the selection of Manolos at Saks and Neiman Marcus and everywhere else you go, the store of course has the most! And THE best. Looking for those Sedarbys Carrie got stolen from her in "A Woman's Right to Shoes"? They're there! In silver, red, black, camo, and though I didn't see them, a white bridal satin. Tons of pretty shoes not sold in department stores. Tiny little brick store near the MoMa.

Look familiar?

Too Much Skinny

Rock and Republic 5-Pocket Skinny Jean, Omega Wash

I am sick of skinny jeans. Not completely sick of them, but sick of having only the choice of skinny jeans when shopping. I find I can only wear my skinny jeans with heels or boots, otherwise I feel stumpy and wide-hipped, and that's no fun. It's just everywhere I go, skinny skinny skinny. Shouldn't everyone who wants skinny jeans already have them? I haven't seen many wide-legged jeans in stores, except for a few of JBrands. I haven't tried them on yet. I'm afraid they'll be too overwhelming on my 12-year-old figure. BUT, Paige, one of my favorite jean designers, has some petite styles out. I tried on a pair of Laurel Canyons but I think I like them a bit longer, so I can cuff them up. By the way, if you have not tried on Paige jeans, you must. The rise isn't too high or low (on the Laurel Canyon), and the fit is perfect. They barely stretch out, and the cloth lining around the waistband makes them super comfortable. You cannot judge a pair of Paiges by photos online. The pockets aren't that fancy (although I do like the Las Palmas design), but the fit and comfort is enough to make up for lack of fancy details. A good bootcut beats a skinny jean any day.

Paige Laurel Canyon Bootcut, Retro Blue Wash

Fat Hair

Oh it's been a long, long time. I've been neglecting my blogger responsibilities, but now that I have more time, I will try to keep it up, even if only I read this.

Also, Frederic Fekkai's Sheer Hold Hairspray is the greatest hairspray ever. I only curl my hair, and humidity, cigarette smoke (not mine!), and stuffy gross air in clubs and such flatten it and make it gross. All other hairspray would make my hair all hard and frizzy, so I never used it or any other hair products...EXCEPT this one! It has a nice smell and it doesn't leave my hair all hard and nasty afterwards. It's flexible, my hair remains soft, and it holds! Worth the $23 if you have a difficult time finding a good hairspray.

Love Barbie

And Barbie loves MAC. I've always thought MAC was an overrated makeup brand, a brand that 16 year-olds pick up mostly for the packaging and advertising and because everyone else wears it. But I admit, I have a lot of MAC, but that's because it's cheaper than the brands I would really like to use, and well, I also like the packaging.

And now, MAC is doing a Barbie Loves MAC collection, and I am a sucker for cool looking makeup, even though I don't know how to do makeup at all. But when I'm at the counter looking at all the pretty colors, I somehow believe I can do it and end up buying something totally impractical (for me), like purple eyeshadow. Anyway. I love the sold-out Rocking Chick lipstick, the one on the models above. Who knows how often I'd wear it? It doesn't matter. Every fat bitch needs a hot pink somethin' or another!

I also love Barbie. I look past the unrealistic tall freaky woman she would be if she were real and the psychological damage she does to young girls because Barbie is fun and she gets to drive around in a Ferrari and live in a giant mansion and wear outfits by Diane Von Furstenberg. And now she loves MAC, and so does Fat Bitch.

Patrick Robinson for Target

It wasn't until this past year that I became Target-crazy, but who can blame me? All the designers (my first exposure was the colorblock Tara Jarmon dress) at such cheap prices!

I just came across the Patrick Robinson line for Target. And maybe it's because he followed Proenza, who you know I love (got the purple bustier!), but nothing in his collection does much for me. Here's a dress that may be okay. Kind of reminds me of Missoni. I can't really tell because the picture is so small and that scarf covers the straps:

But this next dress, how can I like it? The model looks like she has nappy hair in need of a root touchup and looks like she hates it herself:

This one reminds me of one of the better (and few) things that came from Michael Knight's line:


It all looks very earthy and beachy. Just in time for summer (when Proenza ends). Too bad I don't care much for it. Behnaz Sarafpour kind of reminded me of Laura's stuff from last season's Project Runway, but I did like the New York charm necklace and the strapless white party dress. It was just a little too limited to the holidays. Whatever. I got the Proenza bustier!

Collection Bebe

I know I haven't posted as much as I'd like to, but I've been one busy Fat Bitch. It seems like Fat Bitch is constantly on a schedule, always have to get things done by a certain time, always in a hurry! Anyway. I just saw that Bebe now has a designer line, called Collection Bebe. I actually like a lot of the stuff like this:

I have a softness for white dresses.

But then there was this:

What the hell is that? Is that a bathing suit cover-up? Or is it an actual outfit?

Happy Early Valentine's Day

Hope everybody has a fat and fabulous Valentine's Day full of cupcakes and Christian Louboutins (we wish)!

My cupcakes from Grove Bakery in Lemon Grove, CA.
♥

March Elle

I love it. More on it later.

and let your arrow go...

...straight to my lover's heart for meee.

Just in time for Valentine's Day, Target's red heart bikini, for only $14.99 a piece. I've already worn mine once (only in San Diego can you do this in late January/February). No I will not model it, but the headless girl on the Target website does it for me (girlfriend needs a tan).

Wear this while playing "Cupid" by Sam Cooke. Or at least it's what I do. What can I say, Fat Bitch has a soft side for hearts and fat diapered babies.

♥

Wearing Today

Almost every writer of every fashion blog I read posts pictures of his/her outfits for certain days. I suggest everyone join Closet Therapy's "Wearing Today" forum, where everyone posts, well, what they wear that day. It's always fun to see, and we all love it, so do it!

Bustier Blasphemy

What! How come, in my hunt through five Targets, I could not find ONE silk bustier in any size? Why is it already sold out before Fat Bitch has one? I got the huge black bag (kind of looks like a laptop bag, but bigger with only handles) and some white cropped pants, which I will get rid of to have that bustier. The purple bustier dress is online in all sizes, but I am waiting for the silk purple bustier of my dreams. I will have one. Nothing stops Fat Bitch.

Proenza Sunday

Sunday, February 4th is the launch of Proenza Schouler at Target. I will be getting up early to get there right when Target opens. Clothes give me the motivation to wake up. Also, my size in everything always seems to go first. I like the button down blue and purple skirts, the bustier, the happy purple dress, and the gray sweater over it. Yay for Sunday!

rainy days require cupcakes

The other day it rained and I had to go to class. I got to use two of my Christmas gifts from elder sister. I'd worn the galoshes before but never in the rain, so they lost their virginity to the rain this week.


Hollister fuzzy sweater from about 3-4 years ago
Mossimo (Target) grey dress. The back is more exciting, but I was too lazy to take a picture of it (strappy tie type thing)
Cream knit tights
Chooka Cupcake Galoshes

I feel like some sort of knit cap would've topped it off. Oh well.

And yes, that is my socked foot peaking out from the bottom left corner.

Leggings

I know leggings will go this year, but I just got a cheap Forever 21 shirt (I had to exchange something there so got this) that I think will work with them. But wait, if leggings are on their way out, can I still work 'em?

Excuse the crappy quality of the photos, I am my own photographer!

things I love on Tuesdays

1. $1.00 Chicken Nuggets at McDonalds

2. $1.00 scoop at Baskin Robbins

3. The 4 hour gap in between my classes, allowing me to get the Chicken Nuggets or do whatever else I feel like.

4. Rachel Pally (so it's not just Tuesday that I love Rachel Pally, I accept Rachel Pally items all days of the week/month/year). I recently got a Rachel Pally bubble dress from a sample sale, and it's so soft and comfortable that I must have more Rachel Pally.

Scoop Neck Bubble Dress. The sash belt is also Rachel Pally, but you gotta buy it separately. The dress looks like it's missing something without it, so the belt -- or some sort of other belt -- is necessary.

At first, this dress is like, eh, ho hum. I generally don't like things that cover up my entire shoulder/chest area.


But then turn the little dress around, and bam! Big non-slutty, very hot momma surprise. The bow helps too.



The model is wearing those Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent Maryjanes that I want and posted about earlier too. Too bad I am broke bitch in addition to Fat Bitch.

And I love all things babydoll style, with the exception of babydoll tops (they create that unflattering pregger look) so it's no surprise I also love:

Rachel Pally Button Babydoll dress. The thing I like about babydolls is that they're so versatile.

Rachel Pally, Ella Moss, any designer that can make jersey look the way it does above has won Fat Bitch's heart.

going to school

I rarely dress up or put any effort into going to school, but sometimes doing so makes me feel a little more awake and special while there. I got this Ralph Lauren blazer that is SMALL and armpitty, but it isn't boxy and was super cheap compared to the retail of $175ish, so it'll do. It looks better on than pictured.



White BP Nordstrom sweater thing
Ralph Lauren Blazer
Strawberry necklace (this isn't the Kenneth Jay one, but almost just as good!)
Harajuku Lovers Cupcake Pin
Era of Chaos Skinny Jeans with ankle zip
Vintage Gucci Boston/Doctor's Bag

I think I want a bigger size in that Ralph Lauren. The one I have will do, but I want one that's more comfortable since I think I'd wear it often.

chanel love

This is why shoes are the most exciting accessory to get, and even beat buying clothes. Jewelry (okay, so SOME jewelry, depending on what it is and who it's from can be better), hats, belts, whatever don't even compare to shoes. Look at these Chanel heels. I don't care much for the ankle ties to say Chanel on them, but everything else is just perfect. Too bad they're a 37.5 and so much! Because I LOVE THEM like nothing else.
