Tara needs your help!


For a while I've been thinking of the direction that I would like this blog to go in. When I started it I thought of it more as a fashion blog, but I guess if you're writing in something quite frequently, it's hard not to let your "real life" creep into it!
I remember Em saying that her blog was a personal journal of sorts, and I think that is kind of the thing I would eventually like to achieve. But! You are the people reading, so if you wouldn't mind providing some feedback I would be eternally grateful!

Would you like...


♥ more article-type posts (like this, or this)?


♥ less posts about "style icons"?


♥ more or less stuff about my life?


♥ interviews with bloggers & other inspiring people?


♥ more photos?


♥ more "Bits & Pieces" posts?


♥ more of my Etsy picks?


♥ reviews of brands, movies, books etc?





Please let me know in the comments, that would be awesome! Even something like "Don't change anything" or "I like this stuff" would be extremely helpful.



Thanks!

Hmm: A Jean Paul Gaultier Wedding?

Hmm: A Jean Paul Gaultier Wedding?


Oh, Jean Paul Gautier, I love you. Seriously, you're like the crazy uncle I only see a couple of times a year, but who always gives me awesome presents from your round-the-world trips and drink G&T while we bitch about the family.

While said crazy uncle may not actually exist, even in my imagination I would tell Uncle Jean to BACK THE HELL OFF and let me design my own veil. Here is why:


Oh, Uncle Jean. NO. Why this might be a cool idea in theory, and I did see a very cool caged top hat (with bluebird!) in this month's Vogue, the caged veil is not in Vogue. It is not even in vogue. This or any month. I am fairly sure that if I wore this to my wedding, my husband-to-be would, well, not be. In fact, I showed Boy this picture and his first words were "What the fuck?" followed by "It looks like something from The Fifth Element," followed by more "What the hell?" and more head-shaking on his way back to play PS3. Really, most kids at one point or another cringe at their parent's wedding photos, why make it more painful for them by wearing a veil that could probably be simultaneously used for a bear trap? Talk about men being trapped into marriage LOLOLOLOLOLOL (in finitum).

What do you think? Am I the one not in vogue? Or has Jean Paul Gaultier finally had that one too many G&Ts?

Hmm: Maggie Gyllenhaal

Hmm: Maggie Gyllenhaal


Recently I have become quite the fan of the jumpsuit, because a) Gala Darling has been wearing it and looking so svelte and chic on more than one occasion, and because b) it's the type of thing that I would never be able to pull off myself, because I imagine to be able to pull of the jumpsuit you have to be long, lean and with quite an athletic figure, three qualities that I unfortuantly do not possess. However, I have seen a really beautiful one from Fleur Wood that if I could wear (and afford) it, well, I would pretty much never take it off.

So I am a bit perturbed about Maggie Gyllenhaal's choice of jumpsuit at the Dark Knight premiere. Usually I am a big fan of whatever Miss Gyllenhaal wears/stars in/is related to but I'm a bit unimpressed by this jumpsuit... or am I? I really can't decide.

While I admire the fact that she championed the jumpsuit at a red carpet event without sporting a cameltoe, and can do the plunging neckline without showing her ta-tas, it's a bit shapeless, isn't it? And I cannot STAND pants that aren't taken up properly (probably because I live in a family of talented seamstresses).

What do you think? Does Maggie look fabulous or frumpy? Are jumpsuits even flattering on anyone? When will people learn to TAKE UP THEIR PANTS?
