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.

pretty things

Why do the prettiest things have to be $1015 on SALE? What the %$#@ kind of sale is that? Okay, okay. So it's pretty and made of great material and probably fits like a million dollars. But cmon now. Fat Bitches aren't also rich bitches. Someday.


I like the shoes too, what are those?

I also found these Maryjanes, Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent. I love feminine details like ribbons. These are more affordable than the dresses, but still too much for my poor ass.

All over the place

Random post focusing on no particular trend or unreasonable want, just ya know, typical fat bitch things. Whatever those are.

February 4 needs to come sooner so I can snatch me all the Proenza Schouler goodies. I love the button-down skirts in purple and blue, the bustier, and everything else that comes in those fun prints and colors.

Have you noticed the power of boots? I have two pairs that I wear often (the others hurt after a while or have some other issue with them) and these suckers cause attention like nothing else I have. They're just over-the-knee boots, but are extra special because I hunted these suckers down so nobody can get them at like, Steve Madden or something. I once saw a girl not too long ago in bright blue vinyl boots with a nasty chunky heel. Although fug, she got lots of attention, definitely mine! Speaking of boots, I need some Chloe Paddington or Silverado boots.

For my New York trip in February/March or whenever, I wanted to find a nice warm hat. Animal safe, since bunnies ARE indeed very cute and cuddly. I always liked Carrie's hat on Sex and the City when she's riding away with Petrovsky in Central Park (two episodes from the last). It's a Eugenia Kim hat and is unfortunately made of fox fur.



So the Beckhams are moving to LA. But what the hell is up with Posh? Why does she look like she should be sitting on my dashboard? Or wait, is she a chihuahua or something? Is it the big round boobs? Is it her policy of looking FIERCE as hell and never smiling? Also, why is she a size 23 when she is like 5'6" - 5'7"?



And I need these Jimmy Choo sandals.

They have them at Nordstrom at Fashion Valley. I'm just a few dollars short though of the $640. Just $637 more and they're mine! Wait, what?

Frederic Fekkai

I am super duper lazy when it comes to my hair (several other things too, but we won't get into that). I have fat heavy hair and it isn't all the way straight and it isn't all the way wavy. It's some kinky crap in between, and it cannot be air-dried. I often throw the mess up on the top of my head immediately coming out of the shower because otherwise I would have to blowdry it, which takes five years, and I am far too lazy to sit on my ass for five years in front of the mirror blowdrying my 8 lb. hair. On special occasions I'll let it air dry to it's ugliness, then curl it. Most of the time it's thrown on the top of my head and held with one of those giant claw clip things (rubberbands hurt and leave indents in my hair).

Today I got the Frederic Fekkai Wave Spray since my hair has some weird kinky wave to it, but mostly because I am too lazy to do my hair once out of the shower. This spray tells me to wait until my hair is nearly dry then spray it all over and scrunch or twist sections. I've tried the John Frieda Beach Blonde Ocean Waves crap, but that only made my hair smell like coconut (which is nice). Since my hair is so beastly, I don't have much faith in these wave creating sprays. But Frederic Fekkai is supposed to be the mac daddy (did I just say that?) of hair products, so I gave this a go. I haven't used it yet but am excited to. In high school, a lot of girls I knew who had naturally straight boring hair would come to class one day with wavy hair. I'd ask them how they did it. They would respond by telling me they braided their hair while it was wet and took it out in the morning and put some sort of hair product in it. So I tried it, and the braid-wave stayed for about 45 minutes and my hair would go back to being not completely straight/not wavy enough. Those lucky bitches with thin blonde hair. So manageable.

I know with the Fekkai stuff I'm going to have to spray tons in, twist like five sections up into tight buns on the top of my head and wait for them to dry some more, and take them out and diffuse and scrunch the hell out of them, and see if it'll work. It has beeswax in it (which sounds like it would dry out my hair, but whatever I need a lazy chick fix to doing hair) so it better work. Anyone else try it? Or know of a good way without using heat tools to get wavy hair that LASTS? Not curly, but like beachy wavy, except with a little more defined wave?

Thakoon

THAKOON IS THAI LIKE ME

Here's to fellow Thai homie Thakoon Panichgul for making clothes with style and that fit, which is more than I can say about the boxy square wonders my parents brought back from Thailand in October.

Some scrunchies my parents brought from Thailand:


Compared to ALSO Thai Thakoon:


Which would you rather have?

Legacy NYC

Blogger is being annoying and making my font all huge and small and huge and small randomly so that's why it's all wonky.

One of my favorite websites? Legacy-NYC. The bags are my favorite section, one of a kind vintage designer bags that I've never seen before. They're still expensive, but so pretty. Here are my favorites:

Late 1970s Chanel in teal suede. I love the color and material. $575.

1970s Judith Leiber, "Lizard with stone pink scarab lined in matching faille with change purse." $475.

1960s Velour Gucci Bag. The woman who originally owned it bought it at the Gucci flagshop store in Rome. $750. Darn.

Check Legacy for yourself here - Legacy NYC.

Bunny Hat

I have decided, that for my second trip to NY in February/March, that I am going to get a bunny hat. What is the proper name for them? I knew it once when I looked it up... you know those hats with the ear flaps? I think Elmer Fudd wears one. Do you think PETA will kick my ass for wearing a bunny hat in the cold, cold days of NY? AHA. It's called a bomber hat. I guess I could get a bunny-friendly one. Bunnies are pretty cute. Don't mind the weird picture.

An Olsen twin (Ashley) in one:



Yeah? Or will I look like I'm hunting for wabbits?

It Never Ends

My list of wants will never end. Kind of like The Simpsons. Doh.

Today at the mall I saw about 193849 things I wanted but was about $9381003 short. As I wrote about before, I want a pair of corduroy or velvet pants. I found a pair by Antik that I liked at Macy*s, but can't seem to find a picture of them online. They were black and velvet, a good alternative to jeans for the cold winter (as cold as Southern California gets). I also found a cropped pair of Frankie B.s that I liked, but I don't need anymore jeans, though I have zero pairs of cropped denim.



I also found a few cashmere Michael Stars sweaters I liked. But being cashmere, they were muy expensivo.

I stepped into the new Gucci store and decided that vintage Gucci is much better than modern Gucci. The Fashion Valley store has RTW too, for those looking for more than a purse.

This L.A.M.B bag caught my attention at Nordstrom. They also had the Speedy-shape style in smaller sizes and different patterns... I just can't remember the exact pattern yet. I love the Speedy shape. They remind me of Gucci with the stripe and all.


I also went to the new Bloomingdales and looked at a bunch of James Perse (I didn't go to the store that also just opened though), Splendid, Michael Stars, and Ella Moss basic tops (no Ella Moss Melody Dress).

Oh, the dress above is Peter Som Spring 2007. So light flowy and pretty.

Zac Posen Sp07

Some of the lovelies I would buy if I had oodles of money and places to wear them:



I love the whole thing - the white, the full skirt, the cropped jacket.


I've always liked super deep cuts like on this dress, but don't you need at least little boobage for it? The big satin bow just makes it perfect.

I want a Zac Posen Barbie in this gigantic dress. And I want her to have dark hair. Someone write a letter to Mattel!

Topless

Everyday I go into my closet thinking I need more tops, sweaters, jackets - typically tops. It often feels like I don't have much even though I spend countless hours searching for the perfect jeans, jacket, whatever. I realized recently though, that what makes a lot (note: not all) of my style are basic sweaters and tops. They get spruced by a colorful purse, necklace, and the just-right boots. Hanging in my closet, these items look like nothing special. It's when it's put together that it becomes more interesting. Good hair is a must as well. Don't you feel gross if your hair is bad that day (even if the clothes are good)? If hair is bad, all else fails. Nothing else matters if hair is nasty. Good hair days are a necessity. At least to me.

Everytime I go home my mom calls me "shoe collector". I think she's referring to the cheapo shoes I bought in high school and left at home when I moved out. Man, but I wish I could collect shoes the way I want to collect shoes. I need more $ for that though. Like, $500-600 ish for a pair of shoes kinda money.

A big portion of my closet is dedicated to jeans, shoes, and more recently, purses and dresses. Lots of the dresses are dressier and can't be worn everyday or often at all. I have tons of jeans and shoes to wear all the time, but what about tops? Where are my tops? How come I find it so difficult to find a good shirt?

Most tops that I do have are basic. Basic knit turtleneck and crewneck sweaters. Basic tank tops. Black, white. They seem so dull when looking at them in the closet and my dresser. I realized it's the accessories that jazz up my ensembles. So it's these I need to splurge (as "splurgy" as I can do) on. Shoes, bags, jewelry, etc. They make up and complete the "outfit".

Which reminds me, I love tights. In all colors. Knit tights, especially. They are wonderful during winter underneath everything, even when not showing, to keep me ohsowarm.

A Very Target Christmas

Most things I got this flu-y Christmas were from Target. I'm not complaining. My Pumpkin (aka boyfriend) got me the white Behnaz taffeta dress I talked about with regret in one of my Target posts! I think I've lost about 5 pounds since my flu-ness, but the dress is already tight as it is. I need to get those 5 lbs. back though-- my jeans just aren't fitting the same. I feel very Nicole Richie-esque (minus the Louboutins, dammit).

I also received the Hello Kitty teacup alarm clock/radio and a McDonald's gift card for my inner fat bitch. So it's not so much "inner" fat bitch as it is "all over the place" fat bitch. Well, whatever.

I love all the high-waisted skirts (I dunno yet about them jeans, though) so I'm excited for Proenza Schouler's debut at Target.

Pictures from Spring 2007.

Merry Late Christmas

Sorry for the lack of posts. I am still alive, though I felt I was barely so one week ago. I was Fat Flu Bitch, and was bound to the bathroom floor. It was not so lovely. I am better. I will write tons later, but must run some errands so will leave you with a picture of some tasty cupcakes.

P.S. Sprinkles cupcake mix now for sale!

Nooo!

That Ella Moss dress? SOLD OUT IN MY SIZE TODAY. I AM SO SAD. I am looking for it EVERYWHERE and placed a special order inquiry with Revolveclothing (where I planned to get it TIL THEY SOLD OUT), but that can take up to 3-7 days for them to tell me WHEN they will get more. I wanted it by New Years, and this just ruins my day. TOTALLY ruins it. They have it in black, but I want VANILLA. I KNEW I shouldn't have waited! You wait, and what happens? THEY SELL OUT! If anyone can find one in vanilla in an XS, LET ME KNOW and I will owe you my first-born.

Woe is me.

Zac Posen

I LIKE HIM. A LOT. NOT JUST HIS CLOTHES, HIM TOO. BUT IS HE FLOATING IN THAT PICTURE? WELL HE SHOULD BE.

SORRY FOR THE CAPS.

Dear Santa

I haven't been that good this year. This has actually probably been the crappiest year in terms of most everything. Please feel sympathy for me. In addition to everything below I've already posted as a "must have", I also want the following for Christmas (ignore the unrealistic-ness of it all):

ALL Christian Louboutins, especially the Yoyo slingbacks in white, yellow, black, the Clichy in anything, the Decollette 868 in any color, and the Sing Sing in black and white.


LV Cerises Speedy 25 (available on eBay only), or Damier Azur Speedy 25.

Balenciaga Classique or Le Dix in any color.

Nina Ricci dresses, like the one on my Myspace and most from the Spring 2006 RTW.


LV Gold Miroir Papillon.

Polka Dot Galoshes for crappy rainy days available at Nordstrom.

Sailor or birthday outfit for my doll Samantha.



New bedding. Shabby chic themed.

These C Label Apollo heelsthat I want so badly:

Please, Santa Baby.

J Brand

I love the J Brand Corduroy jeans. I saw a pair today but was unsure if they were the 14" or the 12" (I didn't try them on). They'd be good for winter, since jeans feel gross when they get wet and they're super cold to put on in cold ass mornings. I like J Brand's because they're simple and don't have loud flashy labels, and no one would know what they were just by looking at them. Well no one who doesn't know about J Brand, at least.

No.

I was cruising through Myspace today when I came across this:


Why?! WHY. And the comments people left her about her being "sexi" and "f*ckin hott". WHAT, are these people blind. And is SHE blind? I had to happy face her face out because, well just look at it. THAT IS A SHIRT. No matter how much weight she lost (comments say she lost weight), you should never wear a SHIRT as a dress (unless it's a tunic, which is a different story completely). Her VAGINA is like, a centimeter away from the hem of that shirt! PUT SOME PANTS ON. She could've followed the leggings trend and put some of those on! Even though I don't think leggings work at all with this shirt, and those shoes are just asfheuncdkslel (there are no words), it would've been better than NO pants. If someone had taken a picture from behind, I SWEAR she would have upside down plumber ass. And the cork Soda-ish brand shoes are... well I won't get started with that.
