Theory?

I just came back from my medicine class at the University of Michigan and we were discussing the trolley problem, which is based on morality. So I am posing the question to you...If given the option to pull a lever that changes the direction of a trolley and kills one person rather than five, what would you do? And if given the option to push a person in front of a trolley, killing that person but saving five others, would you?

Below is Missoni's Fall/Winter Campaign Ad...it's kind of trippy.

Check it Out

My friend Adjua tweeted a link at me about the top nine black female bloggers. So I checked it out and followed all the ones that also use blogger. They are all amazing I must say, their personal style being pretty distinct, as well as, their writing style. I look forward to reading more from these ladies; with hopes of learning more about the fashion industry and blogging. If you would like to check these sites out I have posted the links below. THANKS ADJUA!!!!!

Recently, I've had this obsession with menswear. Why? I have absolutely no clue. But I was thinking shouldn't I know what I would want my boyfriend (if I had one) to wear, or at least what's considered 'en vogue' these days. So style.com, here I am to absorb all your menswear FYI's and DYI's.

Ciao.

Life's Far From a Beach...

I seriously feel like I'm not fulfilling any of my summer goals i.e. lose weight! HOW HARD CAN IT BE!!! It seems like everyone is able to shed their extra pounds, excluding yours truly. So if you have lost ANY weight and would share your weight loss secrets with me, I'd be so grateful!

Today I bought this really cute, green, stone ring from a store called Middle Earth in Ann Arbor, Michigan (where I will be for these next two weeks). I fell in love with it yesterday but was unsure if I should buy the ring or enjoy the experience of John Mayer's concert. My mom settled that one haha, she said I could go to the John Mayer concert so I splurged on the ring. Happy ending, I'll say.

While I was updating myself on the world's fashion, I was reading this blog about how classic couture houses are turning towards ready-to-wear. I guess the designers are beginning to see how unpractical they really are. In my opinion, I must say that looking at a beautiful, well-made, couture gown is like looking at a Picasso painting. I love the mystery of trying to figure out what image the designer was trying to portray and what I (as a consumer) am suppose to take away from the garment. Couture is another dying art form. However, I think it will thrive once more when the economy takes a positive turn and people are willing to pay extra $$$ to own them.

Counting Sheep

It's 2.20 AM, and I'm still up. I've honestly been trying to fall asleep for about three hours, but when that didn't work I decided to write. I made myself a muffin since I figured I was a little hungry. While scrolling through recent style.com party pictures this girl caught my eye, whom I assumed to be a model. I was correct, this Puerto Rican beauty's name is Joan Smalls. She is absolutely gorgeous and I think she's relatively new on the scene. At a quick glance (in my opinion) she can be easily confused with model Chanel Iman. Smalls is a rising star, considering I saw her in multiple party albums. I've added her to my list of people to watch.

                 Would anyone care to explain to me the need for so many Jersey shows? There's Jerseylicious (garbage), Jersey Couture (garbage), Jersey Shore (stupidity), The Real Housewives of New Jersery (good), Cake Boss (okay), you get the point. It seems like Jersey has knocked New York and Los Angeles out of the hot spots...

"The Hills", goodbye Kristin and Lauren, goodbye plastic Heidi and psycho Spencer, goodbye to 4 years of my life watching reality TV. You will all be missed, but of course we'll see you around. It's Hollywood babyyy.

Zoe's Obsessed

So I've been back for a couple days now and its been killing me how late I've been on updating AHHH.

But...today and yesterday one of my idols, Zoe Kravitz, tweeted about this website called itsasickness.tv. And I was like woahhh what is this, it sounds pretty sketchy. I checked it out, and there's this adorable video of her travelling the city in a dragon costume! Why a dragon costume you might ask; well she was born in the year of the dragon (Chinese horoscope). According to itsasickness.tv, a person born in the year of the dragon "is a non-conformist, beautiful, and flamboyant". All of these aspects pertaining to Zoe. I also noticed her nose ring, which I call the "bull" ring because I don't know what it's really called. Not to be a total stalker and follower, but everything she does I want to do. I know, it's mildly creepy. If you're interested in watching this petite rocker prance around town in a green dragon suit, visit the website ASAP.
