Random Fashion Thoughts: Fashion and Cigarettes

You guys know by now I am a fashion junkie, magazine reading, styling editorial whore.... I love analyzing and looking at great styling editorial shoots. What I've been wondering is the cigarette posing. I HATE cigarettes and would never use them in my shoots. I'm just trying to find the connection- Cigarettes actually give you yellow teeth, bad breathe, makes your clothes smell, dark circles around the eyes, lung cancer, etc.... none of which is synonymous with fashion and beauty... lmao...

So it boggles my mind when you have great editorials- then stick a cigarette into the model's mouth... hmmm...

Are cigarettes high fashion???? Does this bring a "cool" factor into the shoot???

Very weird...

Though you will not see as much of editorials with cigarette props nowadays- maybe because of the banning of public smoking in restaurants and all the "Stop Smoking" campaigns- it is slowly moving out of the fashion world- but I still see a few.... you should be non-existent!!!

Just a random thought...

Random Fashion Thoughts: Layered Pearls

Heeeeey!!!

Ok, so this morning’s Sex and the City news got me sooo excited. Today is dedicated to posting random SATC thoughts. Did I mention I'm a Sex and the City Fan!!

Every break I had today, I was looking through pages of fashion magazines to get inspired for my Casting Call fit! (I am so excited right? Haha)

While on the web, I came across a picture of one of my style icons Carrie Bradshaw and immediately remembered Rihanna’s recent Red Carpet look at the Inglorious Bastards premiere.

Though this layered pearl look was started by CoCo Chanel (another one of my style icons) both of my stylicious girlies are rocking the same layered pearls in a dramatic way… SWEET!

This goes to show, you can style your layered pearls with a formal attire and a laid back comfy fit.

I need to get some!


Love it!


Until next time
