Can someone explain why the duckface twins  have made millions and millions of dollars through fashion design?  They always look a complete mess!

This picture is a perfect example of how they never wear the clothes – the clothes wear them.  They swamp their teeny tiny frames with layer upon layer, wear shoes that are too big for them and what is up with those bags?  They look like the sort of thing you see dads carrying on their daily commute to the city.

I don’t mind Ashley (left) so much but Mary-Kate is a repeat fashion offender in my book and always looks like she needs to scrub her face and start again with the makeup.  That lipstick isn’t doing much for her.  And I won’t even mention the hat.

Who would seriously take style tips from these two?

My farrier came out to trim the horses feet.  In an effort to meet budget, we’ve stretched the time between trims.  Our stretching ended up going 12 weeks (they do grow less in the winter)- he missed our appointment and had to reschedule.  The farrier was pleasantly surprised that everybody’s feet looked pretty good.  They were long, but Tiny was the only one who was getting some chips- and they weren’t any worse than “stomping at flies during the summer chips.”  Winston’s feet were amazing… still nice and round with a good hard wall.  I noticed that Wilson’s feet were exactly the same.  I ended up in a discussion with Wayne over how similar the two are.  The two would make a stunning pair in harness or for a pair’s class.  Their face markings, conformation, and movement is very similar!  Willow’s only obvious contribution to the gene pool is Wilson’s long thick mane and tail.

Later, I was thinking about how people always compare children to their parents.  “You have your father’s nose.”  “Your mother’s chin.” etc.

I thought back to what my Grandfather Brown was known for saying when comparison conversations came up… “He’d say that I looked just like Mary Kate.”  He liked that everybody was an individual and unique.

I looked at Nathaniel and thought of my Grandfather’s words and thought of Nathaniel.  Honestly, I’m much better at looking at horses and telling what attributes they got from their sire and dam than I am with humans.  However, I’ve seen John’s toddler pics.  And even my ignorant eye can spot the similarities.  Take out the 70’s decor and update the photo quality and the two could probably pass for each other.  Nathaniel has John’s eyes- that is unmistakable.

Somebody said to me, that I can tell Nathaniel that he’s looking at the world though his father’s eyes.  I do hope that Nathaniel turns out to be “just like Daddy” in many ways- the world will be a better place if that is the case…

Mary-Kate she is so fabulous and her style is worked out a hundred procent

Blake Lively is beautiful.

She wouldn’t look so beautiful if she looked like this, though:

Yeah, our bones aren’t very attractive. However, they have alot of uses. One of the most important functions of the human skeleton is to keep our form and posture.  If we had no bones, humans would probably be a puddle of skin. Not attractive.  Other functions of the bones include: making Red Blood Cells, helping with movement, and protecting vital organs like the heart and lungs.

–Someone tell them that skeletons are so not sexy.

Don’t call them a comeback, they’ve been here for years! Knuckle rings made their first appearance during the 80s fashion era, hybernated for a bit, and have come back with a vengance! The knuckle rings of today have a little bit more flair to them; and designers have used their creative juices to conjur up some pretty unique looking peices. This style can range from the very elegant/classy to “In you face” edginess.  Basically there are two versions of this style, the ring that goes across the knuckles (usually a multi-finger) or one that goes across one knuckle vertically.

Check out some of our favorites:

That’s all for today…g’night!

The last couple of days have been hell for me.  Literally hell.  Ana has been such a freaking bitch.  Saturday night is when it started.  I can’t even say how it was different from other nights when ana rules my mind.  But it was different.  For literally two hours I just sat and let her go crazy inside of me.  I didn’t know what to do with myself and all I wanted was to die.

Then yesterday night it happened all over again.  Except this time it was longer, all night.  Even in my sleep she ruled me.  Now I know she’ll always be with me.  And I’m not sure if that is comforting or not.  In a way it is probably the most comforting thing ever.  But there’s a part of me that wants rid of her.

So now my friend and I are starting a new challenge.  It’s called the MK challenge.  Short for mary-kate, i think, which is such a lame name.  However, my friend and I are going to be following it for now, to see who can get the most points.  I’ll try to post here every night what my points are.

Stay strong.  :)

Comercial da nova coleção da Mary-Kate e Ashley Olsen para a JCPenney . Olsenboye chega as lojas dia 6 de novembro. Só de ver esse comercial, com carinha de girl trip, me dá uma felicidade imensa em lembrar que minha viagem de férias (março) pros states com uma amigona está cada dia mais próxima.

As Olsen falando da coleção e da ação promocional no Good Morning America. Esse caminhão estilo caminhãozinho de sorvete circulará por NY por 3 dias distribuindo cupcakes, bottons e balões.

So, I’ve finally started this blog!! The main purpose of this blog is to expose readers to information about Anatomy and Physiology that corresponds with the information I learn  in my class.

I promise it will be interesting.

Que vous dire de plus sur Another Magazine que vous ne saviez déjà ? Une soirée super hype pendant la fashion week avec le gratin de la mode mondiale au Palais de Tokyo. Un bi-annuel plutôt discret qui se vend en ce moment à Paris chez Colette. Mais surtout une série de photos événement intitulée « 10 ans de style » avec une brochette d’icônes mode ou wanabees revisitée par nos plus belles enseignes.

Voici un échantillon d’une décennie de style, classé avec la plus grande subjectivité. Je n’en montrerai pas plus, allez acheter le magazine.

La plus significative

Etait attendu bien évidemment les jumelles Olsen qui, reconverties modeuses depuis le lancement de la marque Olsen (au Printemps à Paris depuis cet été), s’affichent en Calvin Klein sur une double page, mais posant séparément. Bien qu’elles rejoignent conjointement le cercle très fermée des créateurs de mode américainne le 21 octobre prochain, les sœurs Olsen nous démontrent une fois de plus la particularité de leur ressemblance car pour un même magazine, un même créateur et une même plastique (pas étonnant pour des jumelles) les styles divergent. Certains leurs prêtaient alors des rôles, jurant que le duo repose sur un équilibre entre le business (incarné par la sérieuse Ashley) et l’image (de la stylée Mary-Kate), qui serait aujourd’hui la clé du succès de la reconversion des sœurs Olsen.

La plus symbolique

Une autre icône s’est glissée dans ce dernier numéro de Another Magazine et pas des moindre : notre Anna Wintour nationale, Carine Roitfeld, de  moins en moins discrète. Vue dernièrement à 7 à 8, Carine Roitfeld était de tout les défilés et nous livre en exclu son analyse des collections Printemps / Eté 2010 sur son blog le vogue.fr.

Forcément, pour le magazine, aucune fausse note. Carine a 55 ans et pourtant continue de s’imposer en Martin Margiela avec autant de Glamour. Initiatrice de tendances, elle marque à tout jamais la collection Automne / Hiver 2009 en reprenant ses principaux hits : le léopard et les cuissardes et prend la pose comme peu de rédactrices de mode savent le faire. Mais ne l’oublions pas, avant d’être propulsée à la tête du Vogue français, Carine jouait déjà dans la cour des grandes car en plus d’avoir été mannequin à ses heures perdues elle a été pendant la période Gucci / YSL la muse de Tom Ford, rien que ça.

La plus mélancolique

Après ces trois featurings de taille l’édition Automne / Hiver 2009 de Another Magazine gagnait déjà à être classé dans les indispensables de la presse papier. Ce qui le rend culte, c’est d’avoir su jouer avec des icônes moins évidentes pour les transformer en vraies princesses de mode. A commencer par Michelle Williams, angélique en Louis Vuitton. Contrastant avec la typologie noir et blanc du magazine, elle illumine tel un ange auréolé, triste sort qu’on lui a attribué depuis la mort d’Heath Ledger.

La plus controversée

De même, la cover girl du magazine n’est autre que Natalie Portman, en Lanvin. Une photo d’une extrême simplicité mais d’une grande efficacité, qui soulève quelques questions existentielles : Comment une défenseuse de l’environnement qui a lancé sa marque de chaussures bio peut-elle s’habiller avec des vêtements d’une marque qui utilise la fourrure d’embryon de moutons ? La mode est parfois plus forte que la controverse.

Natalie Portman en Lanvin

La plus historique

Voir Vanessa Paradis en Chanel Haute Couture était presque comme immortaliser les retrouvailles de deux amies éloignées, réunies pour une occasion bien particulière. Souvenez-vous, Vanessa Paradis c’était Coco Chanel, cet oiseau qui sifflait en se balançant dans une cage avec un flacon de Coco. Tellement vintage qu’on aurait envie de la revoir comme on écouterait un bon vinyle de groupes de rock défunts.

La plus surprenante

Et pour terminer, la plus surprenante collaboration de ces 10 ans de style restera pour moi la sublime Blake Lively en Ralph Lauren. Notre Serena Van Der Woodsen un peu conne du trop célèbre Gossip Girl nous montre cette fois qu’elle peut être autre chose qu’une spoiled bitch refoulée et envoie au placard ses copines Taylor, la punkette et Leighton, trop simple pour la dernière couverture de Cosmo. Et plutôt deux fois qu’une, le message de Blake est clair, pour Another Magazine elle nous affirme que la vraie icône de Gossip Girl, c’est elle.

i’ve somehow justified purchasing not one, but two, fur vests this fall. i wish wish wish i could justify this as well.

good job, olsen.

Everyone has a favorite ring, whether it is because of the stone being a birthstone, because of the high value, or because it has significant sentimental value.  I think it is safe to say that Mary-Kate’s favorite ring is this huge emerald and yellow gold ring. She wears it quite often, no matter if the occasion is formal or not. Mary-Kate found the ring at a vintage shop on the Rue Saint Honore in Paris, France. One of the best parts about traveling is treasure hunting in antique shops, however if you are not lucky enough to do so, the Internet has so much to offer. Best resource for pieces that look like they are family heirlooms: Beladora. Want your own emerald stunner? Check out the ones I found below!

I love this choice because it is so similar. The green stone is actually jadeite rather than an emerald, it is circa 1970. The textured 18k yellow gold characterizes the seventies style of this ring. From Beladora2 and priced at $995.

Circa 1975, Beladora shows off this beautiful step cut emerald ring. This one is similar to Mary-Kate’s because of its grandness–that emerald looks so regal. Not only is the stone 4 carats, but the diamonds surrounding it are .60 carats. It is set in 18k yellow gold and priced at $5550, from Beladora.

This vintage ring from the ’60s features an emerald cut emerald. The emerald itself is 1.35 carats! It is set in 14k yellow gold with a few diamonds. This one-of-a-kind piece is from Ross-Simons Estate Collection and priced at $1195.
