Fashion Find Friday

For this week’s Fashion Find Friday, is a pretty exhausted topic, sorry guys, but I’m exhausted, myself!  I promise better next week!

CROCS

Crocs are the brand name of a very distinguishable style of shoe.  It’s often spotted on small kids, housewives at the grocery store, and hospital workers.  Some swear by Crocs for their comfort and convenience, but I think  it’s generally agreed they’re ugly as hell.  Does anyone actually think they are attractive appearance wise?!  If so, that’s a first.

I’ve never owned or tried on crocs, so I can’t say for myself if they are indeed more comfortable than other types of shoes.  (If you’re sacrificing style, which you DEFINITELY are, they better be pretty darn comfortable!!)  Maybe someone can vouch for me on that on how comfortable they are.  I don’t really understand what the holes are for, I guess they distinguish them from normal clogs?   Or maybe for “breathability”.  My conclusion:  Crocs are not benefiting style in any way, I would only recommend for the supposed comfort factor, but not in public.

What are your thoughts on Crocs?

This week’s Fashion Find Friday is Bubble Skirts

Bubble skirts are difficult to figure out. They have the ability to be cute, sophisticated and stylish or frumpy and disheveled depending on the length, color and who wears them. I’ve seen a few bubble skirts that work perfectly, and look really nice - but I’ve seen many more that are quite frankly disastrous! Here’s a look at a few:

This could easily be the most hideous bubble skirt of them all.  I unfortunately don’t know the brand or “designer” but there’s a number of things I don’t like about this skirt.  The skirt is much too puffy at the bottom and would resemble a huge diaper.  The colours and pattern reminds me of an 80’s workout suit.  While it is an amusing, erm, piece of attire I don’t think it works, at all!

The bubble skirt above is much different.  For one, it is a safer solid brown colour as opposed to a technicolor mashup (see first).  The skirt is also longer in length and the “puff” less obvious.  Some would say this skirt is boring, but I personally like it and think this is the only way bubble skirts do work nicely - toned down and understated!

This third bubble skirt is a nice compromise between the two.  It’s a satin black that is a bit more dramatic then the brown but is still tasteful.  The little bows throughout add interest and are super cute.  The bottom is definitely defined but somehow works, I think because of the length of the skirt.  I could definitely see this skirt dressed up with some black stockings and a nice top.  I think this is my favourite of the two (I’m not even acknowledging the first one from now on ;) )

What is your opinion on the three bubble skirts featured today?  Do you like bubble skirts in general?  Why or why not?  Do you own any yourself?  Please share your tastes and if you liked this, please help me out by stumbling my FFF series!  Thanks

For this week’s Fashion Find Friday I’m posting two things which is sure to draw some varied opinions.  Please feel free to comment and share your views on this week’s Fashion Find Friday.  Whether you love it, hate it or have mixed feelings.  So enough talk. (which is probably good, because my extreme tiredness doesn’t make for great writing anyway!)

WHITE MAKEUP

White makeup is supposed to make you look alert, fresh and awake as opposed to the intense effect of darker makeup. To me, judging by the given picture, it just looks like an eye infection. I’m just not digging the white around the eyes, and though it is much lighter, in my opinion it overpowers the face and the sheen is too much. My verdict is, unless it is a very subtle shimmer in the inner corner of the eye, white makeup isn’t flattering.

UGGS

Uggs are pretty darn controversial in that they’re both adored and despised equally.  Some say they’re adorable and comfy compared to heels and/or flats.  Others say they sound like they are - UGLY!  Personally I’m torn between the two.  I guess it’s a love hate relationship with me and uggs.  I have owned a few pairs (generic brands, not UGG Australia unfortunately) and they’re convenient and comfy, but I think their time is coming to an end.  One thing is for sure - Uggs in Summer and Uggs with a miniskirt are definite no’s!

Okay, there you have it!  I’d love to hear your thoughts on this week’s Fashion Find Friday.  As for me, I will blog once I catch up on some much needed sleep.  Thanks for reading!
