Post image for Is the BlackBerry still stylish?

There was a time, not so long ago, when everyone who was everyone carried around a BlackBerry. It was an essential status symbol for celebrities and media superstars. Back in 2007 Geek Sugar ran a slideshow of celebrity BlackBerry sightings, and a year later a site by the same name popped up. Since then it seems that many of the Hollywood elite have switch to the iPhone. Does that render the BlackBerry obsolete? Or can it still be a stylish accessory?

Fashion trends come and go. Trends translate to me as fades, or what I call “phantom fashion”. I say this because certain trends start out with a bang, but quickly disappear. Let’s take Jeggings for example. Jeggings are jeans that fit like leggings, clever huh? I personally don’t care for them. Granted, they look great on some people, but to me, it’s lazy. Jeans are jeans; I expect a certain weight and fit. Denim should never resemble anything other than denim! But maybe I’m just old fashion? I should get with the times, right? I should at least give this trend a shot. How do bootylicious women, feel comfortable in pants that look “painted on”? Easily that’s how; it’s all about the styling.

Hermes De Passage a Moscou Scarf

There are a lot of fashion trends and styles that I find just baffling. UGG boots is one, especially when worn with shorts. That just makes people look like insane Eskimos. Those shoes that are hot right now that are a combination of platform sandals and boots? Yeah, I don’t get those. They’re hideous. If [...]

Picnic at Ascot Aegean Picnic Basket Tote for Four

Ok, let me just be honest and say I’m not that crazy about picnics. They’re usually a summer activity, so it’s hot out. You have food outside, which just attracts bugs. Food that’s supposed to be cool ends up being warm, and that includes beverages. Do I sound like a party pooper? Whatever. Sure, there [...]

I know I’ve mentioned before that I don’t wear a watch anymore. I just don’t see the point anymore since I carry a cell phone with me that automatically synchronizes with whatever cell tower I’m nearest. It updates automatically for daylight savings time. I don’t have to wind it, change it, or replace the battery. [...]

There are very few items of jewelry that are acceptable for a man to wear. Let me preface the rest of this post by saying, if you’ve read my bio, you know I’m not in my twenties anymore, so if this makes me sound old fashioned, I really don’t give a crap. So, listen up, [...]

Father’s Day is June 20. Yeah, it’s a little ways away yet, but why wait until the last minute? Didn’t your dad teach you not to procrastinate? To be prepared? Oh wait, that’s the Boy Scouts. Hey, speaking of Boy Scouts, why don’t they sell anything? I mean, Girl Scouts have their cookies, but I [...]

I think spring may be the only time we can get away with wearing colorful, over-the-top, flowery accessories without shame. Usually, a flowery necklace might make you look like an eight-year-old. But in spring, all is forgiven. People are happy to be outside again without wearing five layers of clothing, and everything’s in bloom again, [...]

If you’re a regular reader, you may have noticed that I adhere to the “less is more” school of thought. Fashion is meant to enhance us, not overpower us, and every item we put on should complement each other, not compete for attention. This is especially true on your wedding day. You, as the bride, [...]

Look at this page. It kind of looks like I hid some Easter eggs here, doesn’t it? Only they’re not chocolate. I will be hitting the grocery store later to take advantage of the post-Easter candy sales. Other than being a great way to save money, if I restrict myself to buying candy after holidays, [...]

I couldn’t resist just one more post in my pink & orange theme. You’ll probably be seeing a lot more of this color combination here since, first of all, it’s one of my favorites, and because it’s a hot trend for spring. But for now, if you’re going to go with the shoes, or the [...]

UGG Turn Cuff Glove

This is a glove intervention. Let me guess. This winter, you’ve been wearing the same old gloves you’ve had for a while, right? Because maybe gloves aren’t something you really think about until you need them. You walk outside, realized how freaking cold it is, then go back inside and dig out that pair you [...]

Next week is Christmas. I know, right? Already?! I’m not even done with my shopping. If I didn’t have to work, I’d be done already. Businesses should have shifts during the holidays so not everyone is hitting the stores at the same time right after five. Everyone crowding into a store at once is so [...]

Hey! Remember that awesome L.A.M.B. bowler handbag I talked about a few weeks ago? What do you mean, no? I found the wallet to match it! Now, I don’t usually try to match my wallet to my handbag. In fact, I wouldn’t carry this one inside that bowler bag. That’s a bit much, don’t you [...]

So. Now who’s done with their holiday shopping? I’ve made progress, so I won’t make you leave this time if you’re already done. Just don’t brag about it. Nobody likes a braggart. Unless you have reason to brag because you’re truly awesome, like me. What? That’s not bragging. I’m just being honest. I can’t help [...]

Oh. My. Gosh. Who else is as full as I am? I can barely move! It’s a good thing blogging only requires the use of my hands. If it were a more physical activity, I’d be in trouble right now. I think I’m in trouble anyway, because after the way I ate yesterday, I’m not [...]
