Unfortunately Natalie and I have quite a bit of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.  We can easily point out the trends and gorgeous styles, but that does not mean we are able to rawk them.  Suffering from OCD can hinder you from trying a lot of things especially in the fashion area.  Perhaps, this is why you only see Nat and I in neutral colors and lots of black!  It is hard for us to step out of our element and damn it I blame being OCD on that!  For instance this morning, I had to return a pair of shoes I bought.  Why you ask?  Well, considering I nearly 99% of the time wear gold, I could NOT stand the tiny silver buckle on the shoe.  Ridiculous I know.

1.  Trend:  Bright Colors: I love the trend above because I love bright colors.  However, I will not lie to myself, there is no way I will ever be able to wear a bright blue skirt with a teal shirt or any of those other colors up there.  The most you will see me do, is putting one of those bright colors with a neutral color.  Doesn’t mean I don’t love the style though!

2.  Trend: Mixed Patterns. The thought of this makes my stomach turn.  I would never be able to mix patterns and I’m not even so sure these ladies are pulling it off.

These are the shoes I had to return this morning.  Pretty pathetic, when you see how tiny the silver buckle is.  I just knew that it would annoy me since I normally wear gold.

Do NOT put bows on shoes, I’ll tear those suckers off!

L.A. Designer Rory Beca teamed up with Forever 21 for a flirty fun and affordable clothing line.  The collection debuted last week and is in select stores, with hopefully being in all stores shortly.

It looks like if you sign up, you can get $25 off your first purchase of $75 or more. Pretty good deal if you ask me!

The Kardashian’s are at it again.  Just releasing their most recent collection from K-Dash by Kardashian on QVC, I’m not sure if I can give them good credit for their designs.  Some of the pieces are cute, like the Printed Tunic with detachable belt, or the Knit Dresses, and even the Suede Satchel with Fringe Detail.  But most, if not all of the other pieces in the fall collection are total misses for me.  I mean sure the jeggings, may fit well, but with the other unflattering choices I’d be willing to bet this collection isn’t worth the money.  You know if you could go into say, Kohl’s and buy a piece like Lauren Conrad’s collection, it may be worth it.  But having to order online, I’m not so sure.  I’d be anxious to hear if anyone has purchased anything and how they like it.

Not sure what it is about this kid, I just don’t get it.  At least NKOTB guys were hot!

Looks like Lauren Conrad will soon be back in the spotlight with a whole new show.  That doesn’t seem to be the only new thing happening, she will also be debuting her new high priced contemporary line, Paper Crown.  Lauren Conrad has already made such a huge impact in the Fashion world at such a young age.  To say the least I am extremely excited about all of this!  There is little to know about her upcoming line, except for this:

“When I was young, my favorite game was dress-up.  My grandmother and I used to take paper and make crowns.  We made something glamorous out of something simple.  Exactly what you do when you create a fashion line.”

Her show will debut this fall on MTV.

A smart move for ASOS. Now, if we can convince River Island to ship to the U.S as well…
