We Are Replay F/W 2009

Ah, a new season, a new ad campaign, once again featuring my future husband Boyd Holbrook.

This shoot gets me so excited for cold whether... leather, wool, scarves, tights, boots, and layering!

PLEASE GOD NO.

This is an emergency post. I have urgent news to share with you.

Shenae Grimes was spotted at Pier One Imports wearing an outfit worthy of an arrest. Or shooting. Or burning.

God save her.

WHAT THE HELL.

1) Too many patterns going on at once.

2) Lacy tights, no matter how cute and trendy are NOT pants. Never. Never ever ever are they pants, and never will they be.

3) Who wears this to run errands anyway?

Student Style

Leather, pleather... it's all the same to me. But literally. They've gotten so good at making faux leather that sometimes I think it looks more real than the actual cow hide. I probably should take a class in telling the difference. Any who... this skirt is faux leather from Urban Outfitters. And since this chick is my friend, I'll have to try and borrow it some time.

Plaid? Check. Stirrup leggings? Check. Cute heeled booties? Check.

Hipster heaven.

I don't know what I love more about this outfit -- the sheer blouse or the lacy tights. I have a pair of tights just like them that I wore on New Years Eve... glad to say they were a success, if you know what I mean ;-)

I have a love/hate relationship with fedoras. They're cute, but not on me. I guess it's just not meant to happen.

Student Style

Facebook has become universal, and even parents are starting to use it now. It's a convenient way to keep in touch with friends, family, classmates, and even strangers. Not to mention, Facebook makes it easier for stalkers to do what they do best: stalk. Thank you mini-feed.

I'm not gonna lie, and I know it's true for most everyone else out there, but Facebook stalking is has become a national past time. Guys use it to check out hot girls (and vise versa) and others spend countless hours going through photos and making fun of the unfortunate. And yes, I do enjoy doing these things, but I also like critiquing outfits, which gave me an idea for this.

Every so often I plan on posting a Student Style entry devoted to Facebook stalk-ees (i.e. my fashion victims) and their wardrobes. All the pictures are either taken from my friends or friends-of-friends, but don't worry. I've blackened out all faces to keep identities anonymous. 

Onward....

Tights and boots, my favorite combo. Very versatile, pretty much anyone can wear this look, and it's always chic and a little edgy. Parties, class, the workplace, or just hanging around, I think this trend is here to stay.
