Bambi's Spring Trend Report

God damn Rebecca Black ruined Fridays for me. I can't say "it's Friday" without the song getting stuck in my head. Back in the day whenever I would get excited about it being Friday R Kelly's Thank God it's Friday or Krayzie Bone's Friday would come to mind. Pretty gangsta eh? Well I was a fan.. Not anymore because they don't make them like they used to. Ahh Bone Thugs.. I loved! But now.. It's Rebecca Black! Things will never go back to the way they used to be. *sigh* Anyway, a little warning.. I might throw a little tantrum every Friday until it wears off.

It's FBFF and today I get to choose 5 spring trends that I'm looking forward to. There are many but I'll try to pick 5 of my favourites .

• Wide Leg Pants: I love 'em. Day or night, party or beach. Doesn't matter. The variations from sequins, to neutral to denim and even floral, with heels, flats, clogs.. I'm crazy about this trend. Here are a few of my faves.

• Flared Jeans: Oh the excitement. I'm loving this trend and everything about it. I'm just going to post a post that I really think shows you how they should be worn. Love Michelle William's look. Just love it.

• Florals: I don't do flowers. I also don't do pink. But this season, I'm doing both.. To those who know me, this may come as a shock, but pick up your jaws people, and embrace the girly me.

• Crayola: (yes yes I know I know they're called block colours, but I like Crayola.. it's perfect in every sense of the word). Bright, solid colours, No print or stripes, or lace or embroidery. Just 1 item.. 1 colour.. mixed with a different item.. and different colour. This is for the bold and the freak. Alas.. behold the beauty of crayola colours.

• Blue Jean Baby: L.A. ladyyyy.. seamstress for the bannddd.. Ok enough Elton, more denim. Last year's trend is back with a big bang this season with more options. Now as big as skittles-coloured jeans are this season, I'm still crushing on the original blue.

Elie Tahari, Derek Lam, Celine, D&G

Well if you haven't figured it out already, my song choice of the day is Tiny Dancer by Sir Elton John. Only this video is a clip from one of my all time favourite movies, Almost Famous. Best part of the movie. Enjoy!

Feeling girly,

No Country for Old Me

I just realised how long it's been since my last post. I truly apologise. I was.. hmm... distracted to say the least and I had no time.. at all.. nor was I in the right mind set. Weekend's over, I have a feeling it's gonna be a long week as well and I'm not looking forward to it at all. So yes, I've got the Monday blues.

So the ACM awards were last night, and since I'm not a fan of country music, I didn't even bother. However, I was looking forward to spending hours picking out my favourite dresses on the red carpet.. That was until I actually started looking through the image gallery. Oh the horror. I'm sorry but I really don't think it deserves a post. Yeah I get it, it's country music, but that doesn't mean you dress COUNTRY! That's bad.. bad.. bad.. One dress was stunning. Just one. And I'm talking dress.. Not look. Taylor Swift in a stunning pale yellow Elie Saab frock. It kinda has that Mila Kunis at the Oscar's flair to it. Now I'm not sure about the hair.. Or the colour on her. But compared to the rest of them country folk, she's definitely the sherif. Does that even make sense? Arghh I hate Mondays. Oh and in case you actually like other dresses, I just want to say that I went through 75 photos and wow! Really. Just.. WOW.. And not in a good way. So I just gave up and decided not to give the rest a chance. I just couldn't.

Oh I never got back to you about what ended up happening to 'M' and the whole Aishti/mannequin debacle (click here for a recap). As you know, in Lebanon it's all about wasta (I don't think there's a correct word for it in English, as I really believe it's the Middle Eastern way.. the closest definition I can give you is friends in high places), and 'M' had one with Mr. Salame's partner (Tony Salame is CEO of Aishti), and they actually called and apologized for the "misunderstanding". What a loada crock! Excuse my French but really, it's just frustrating.

Song choice of the day? Something a bit upbeat to get you through this horrid Monday.


Blah-ish,
Bambi
