Chinese New Year: Year Of The Crocodile

jen — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 12:00:46 +0000

While, I’m disgusted by the idea of crocodile farming, I’m all in favor of this Lux de Ville “Rebel” faux croc bag. With the kiss lock closure and a serious amount of metal, it manages to maintain all the bite of a real bag without harming any of the fierce freshwater reptiles it resembles. This white hot accessory instantly ups you to risk-taker status. So, go shead and premiere it post Labor Day – I dare ya.

Faux Find: Faux Sho

Originally interested in a Bettie Page inspired piece, I came across this crazy number. Possible explanations – PETA babe turned porn star? Music video mishap? Or just a big mink mistake?

Although, I still must award Atomic an A for effort (and a C for cute, refering to their adorable photo shoot sidekick). If I was a bit more bold, I might try and swing the 1920′s glam that this bolero gives off. But right now, I’d much rather grab the bun and run. Oh, and if I did work up the nerve, I would definitely opt for clothing underneath – fo sho.

Get In The Game

Take a stand against inhumane and unethical practices like horse racing and dog fighting. I mean now! All Creatures shows you how. They’ll tell you what you can do to discourage betting and help shut down these atrocious events. And once you’re done fighting for the furry ones, take a gamble on something decent instead – like a brand new hairstyle. I recently re-invented myself with a new two-toned palette and bangs `a la Bettie Paige. Not only do I love the look, but I’m eager to find new ways to express myself through it – like showing off the back blonde streak in a stripe type way. Channeling my inner Ed Hardy Geisha graphic, I threw it all up in a messy ball of elastics and locks, managing to turn eek! into eccentric with pearl white Horseshoe Dice Hairsticks by Luck 11. So much sleeker than Chinese takeout chopsticks, they’re also a bit Asian-inspired and edgy – but most importantly easy. Always a safe bet.

Rock Rebel strikes again with their all too easy accessories. The perfect mix of punk and propper, I can’t help but crave one in every color. And at barely $12 bucks a pop, why shouldn’t I? My pick of the minute is the Skull And Bolts Hair Band. Talk about some low maintenance lovin’.
