Audrina and Lo Dressed as Twins

The Snarkstress — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:36:49 +0000

I don’t know how it happened, but it’s official: I am HOOKED on The Hills again! Isn’t that sooo lame? Or maybe that just reminds us how lame Lauren Conrad was…and now that she’s gone it’s easier to “like” the show.

Anyways, the show is supposed to be the go-to on television for great fashion, but I’m a little ho hum about Audrina Patridge and Lo Bosworth’s outfits lately. Here they are walking down the street while filming an episode…and they are basically matching! Black leggings, long white shirt, with black jacket/vest. How can we look to these girls for fashion advice if they dress so boring?? I think everyone I know already dresses like that. Yawn. Seriously I was wearing Lo’s outfit about two years ago.

At least Audrina’s hat is cute. Try harder please or I will change the channel.

Dear Dania Ramirez: Leggings Died Last Year

The Snarkstress — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 13:19:14 +0000

Can there be any chance that fabulous shoes and accessories could revive a trend that had already begun to flop last Fall? It appears Dania Ramirez felt knee length leggings were worth giving it a shot at the 5th Anniversary of The Cathy’s Kids Organization held at The Roosevelt in Hollywood.

The shoes? Gorgeous. The clutch? Lovely. Even the top is just fine and her makeup completely acceptable.

But the leggings are done, my dear. They are so long overdue for official ‘done’ status. Louboutins do not make leggings fashionable again – they only cringe by being so near a failed trend, since naturally they are so beautifully timeless.

Leggings – burn them.

The rest, you could rework into something far better, Dania.

Stella’s Leggings Are A Don’t, Nancy

The Snarkstress — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 06:53:01 +0000

I wonder if Nancy Shavell thought that she could pass through the front door on the arm of Paul McCartney in order to support Stella’s big night….relatively unnoticed. I wonder if she figured that since the girl took the time to make these cellophane leggings, someone ought to wear them and…what the hay, you only live once and maybe it will win you a few points with Daddy’s little girl.

Though I appreciate Stella being a responsible fashion advocate, I do not myself advocate anyone should ever try on a pair of these super unflattering leggings. Instead, I suggest getting comfortable with the thought of bare legs again…and don’t ever go out in public (especially when it’s your first public outing with an international legend) wearing these pitiful leggings ever again.

Kate Moss – Put on a Skirt!

Earlier this week, Kate Moss was seen on the streets of London, walking with a friend toward the Queens Pub. With gift in hand, looks like they are headed to a party.

Though Kate’s bright pink v-neck top is a hot choice, what’s with the leggings? Hot? Umm … NOT!

This is one of my biggest pet peeves. I don’t care if you are skinny as Kate or as large as Oprah, I don’t want to see leggings with just a top. Leggings with skirt? Sure. Leggings with a dress? Absolutely. But make sure your rear is completely covered. Otherwise, it just looks ridiculous.

And what’s with the pinstriped blazer? Men’s Warehouse isn’t the place a super model should be shopping for a jacket!

Better luck next time, Ms. Kate.

Getting a Leg(ging) Up with Hilary Duff

Liberty Kontranowski — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 11:30:31 +0000

So dahlings, here we are, checking out this pic of Hilary Duff, addressing The Leggings Issue yet again. And why, I ask. Why must I come back to this again and again and again? Have we not learned anything yet about leggings and their place in this world yet? As in: There is no place in this world for those hideous things!!

Now I will say, if a person had a momentary (or recurring, in some cases) lapse of judgment and they somehow found their lower half being accosted by a pair of leggings, then I suppose Hil’s look is the only way to go. She keeps it cazh (though I’m not loving the fleshy shoes with the gray and black) and if I was in my “Happy Place”, I could possibly turn my head away and pretend I never saw her commit the dastardly deed of Wearing Leggings. But, too bad, so sad for Hilary. It’s Monday morning and I’m not in my Happy Place, so there will be no forgiveness. Nuh unh, not today.

So anyway loves, I will be the most gleeful dame in all of Snarkville the day my sight is no longer threatened by this horrific “trend”. Will it ever happen? Well, that remains to be seen. But let’s just hope it doesn’t happen again on a Monday, yanno? Oy.
