A Side of Shoulder Pads Please?

So as many of  you know, or don't know, shoulder pads are coming back "in style," as well as band jackets. Of course a lot more, but these are two that I guess I'm really attracted to. I'm not one to follow trends, neither am I someone who always gets caught up in them. If it's in, great! if not, I still wear it with pride. Great pride! 

I still don't go around in Harem pants, because well, let's just not talk about that. 

I do still like to see what's happening, don't get me wrong; but I don't dictate what I wear totally by that. I buy what I like, quality in mind of course, and wear it. I do still buy things because they may be "in," but once they are out, I don't immediately throw it out. Ok, I think I know where I'm going with this... The Land of Babble. SO, let me get to the point. 

Shoulder pads are back in style, and I like them.

I noticed a lot of 80's style in Marc Jacobs 'o9 Fall RTW. Which was all very cool, oh, and colourful! HA!

I know, I know I might be a little late in posting all of this. Better late than never, no?

My encounter with shoulder pads? Well, that happened in Texas. One day when I was hanging out with a friend, we went to Goodwill and that's where the magic happened. She pointed me to this really nice red and white striped jacket with really pretty buttons (I like buttons, pretty ones of course. Let's not forget unique). At first I was like eeeehhhh, but then I started to actually see the jacket. So of course, I bought it. And guess what!? It has some really great shoulder pads. It is a bit too big, technically, but I love it! I don't really want to alter it or anything, because I think that's what makes it the jacket it is on me. Oh, and it's by Jones New York. 

I also bought another piece that has shoulder pads. It's a button down shirt with sailing-ish stuff on it like boats, and ropes, and those round life circle doughnut things. It's also a really nice fabric, but I can't exactly tell because all of the writing on the tag is in like Japanese or Chinese or something, can't tell the difference. But I love it! Oh, and the same friend picked it out for me.

Juicy Has Come Far...

...From their tracksuits. I think everyone knows that but I thought I should write down.

For a while they were "it", then their tracksuits and stuff was considered unstylish, then finally I guess G&P decided to revamp their stuff to keep people interested. Well, all I know is that I got bored for a while then I got interested again. They lost this thing for a while, I can't put my finger on it, but they have that thing back.

Things I Love from the Henri Bendel Web

Henri Bendel and NYC

If anyone knows Henri Bendel, then you know that one stop into their store or one click onto the website, and you're in love; Much like Chanel, Christian Louboutins, and Balenciaga bags. Except Bendel's has this certain thing, hmm... Lovely NYC style that everyone adores.

Sadly, last when I was in NYC, in later May 2008, I didn't have a chance to pop in. So I guess I am stuck I'm stuck with drooling over their website for now until next time. Even the website however reminds me so much of NYC, everything I love about going to New York City comes to mind as I "stroll" through handbags, jewelry that I so much love. Looking at the text of the website makes you think 'New York!'. It may have been their purpose to make people think of NYC, but I think it does way more that what they initially opted for, or maybe it's just me.

Nice Balenciaga Bag from E-Mail

I love this Balenciaga bag that I got in an E-Mail from Berdorf Goodman. I love that it has smaller handles as well as the one bigger one for versatility. Not too many designers can do that without looking like a five year old kids purse.

Runway Looks from the One Trick Pony on HOH

Here are some of the runway looks that I like from the collection One Trick Pony of House of Holland.

Stuff From House of Holland

Here are a few of my fave shirts from House of Holland; a brand that is regularly seen on English model Agyness Deyn.

In This Look, I Could See Myself...

Cheap Monday Fashion Show SS 09/CM5432 Look 14/45

I could see myself shopping at Central Market or Whole Foods for my mum with a friend or boyfriend, or like running errands with my boyfriend. I love the shirt, the jeans, the shoes. Just the whole thing makes me want to buy it, now. Love it =)

Not Too Fond of the Shirt

Cheap Monday Fashion Show SS 09/CM4729 Look 4/45

Love the jeans, the colour, how tight they are--they're tight in all the right places--but I just don't like the shirt. Goes great with this look, but I think if it were a tad bit longer, I would like it. The colours go great however =) Love the shoes like always.

I Like This Look

Cheap Monday Fashion Show SS 09/CM4523 Look 1/45

I really like this look, the jeans, the shirt, even the shoes. This shirt can also be worn without a bra, which I like because not all shirts can be worn like that.

Someone Brave Wear These Jeans

Cheap Monday Fashion Show SS 09/CM5337 Look 18/45

I would like to see these jeans or pants (I can't tell) worn at a cool party. Like a party in the Just Dance by Lady Gaga video; that would be cool. I would also like to see these worn by someone on the streets or running errands whose very brave. Mhm... I, however, would not wear them, I'm too scared.
