7 Things About Me

Caress Lepore — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 11:00:00 -0800

I was chosen by Ms. Alicia of Instant Vintage to confess seven things about myself in exchange for these lovely awards at the top. I know she was probably like Caress is never gonna do this but even though I'm late i'm still doing it.

1.) I am very fond of cabbage. I will turn down pizza, mac and cheese and anything else for a bowl of cabbage with corned beef, vinegar, and salt and pepper.

2.) I put vinegar on anything. Two of my favorite things are to put cucumbers in salt, pepper and vinegar. But my favorite thing to do with vinegar is to put lemons in vinegar and salt. it's so tart it's sweet you should try it. You will thank me later.

3.) I had very low self esteem in high school. I gained my self esteem in college and I haven't looked back since.

4.) I was a tomboy up until college. I used to wear the baggy sweatpants and jordans the whole nine. I have some pics that I will post one day.

5.) I don't dip my cookie in milk because milk is gross. I stand at the sink and run my cookies under the water until they get soggy.

6.) I love pouring useless facts in my head. It just helps for easier conversation.

And now for the biggest thing about me.

DRUMROLL PLEASE

Style Star............ Naomi Campbell Edition

Caress Lepore — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 10:00:00 -0800

She is bad chick I must admit. Sure her hairline is pushed back further than Teyana Taylor's album release date but Naomi stays fierce when she's not hitting people with phones. So bask in the presence of Na Na's greatness or she will force you to respect her. Enjoy!!

From The Storybooks to Streets............Princess Eilonwy

Caress Lepore — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:00:00 -0800

I wasn't too familiar with Princess Eilonwy but I do kind of remember her from The Black Cauldron. She is strong willed and stubborn all while she is know for quoting weird similes. Her style is a little bit all over the place. She is really not in the spotlight much be she is known for showing up to various charity events. Click products for details and as always enjoy.

Project Runway............. Thumbs Up Thumbs Down (Episode Twelve)

Caress Lepore — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:00:00 -0800

Here's my review. I was underwhelmed by every piece I saw for the final challenge. It was like they knew who was going already and they just decided coasted on that and make very uninspired pieces.

Althea

Althea's outfit was nice in theory but she just didn't have enough time to really focus and create it.

Carol Hannah

Her dress was the best executed of all the looks but it didn't match her inspiration though. But the dress was pretty.

Christopher

The top was nice but the rest look like it came from that Religious compound Sect where they practice polygamy. About time Chris went home.

Gordana

This dress was beautiful but from her past work she didn't deserve to be in the final three. Oh on a sidenote on the message board of Project Runway someone said this dress looks like a vagina and you know what I can totally see it.

Style Star............ Kate Moss

Caress Lepore — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 10:00:00 -0800

I love Kate Moss' style. It's like it's just effortless her. So without further adieu I bring you Kate Moss. Enjoy!!

Movie Moments...................A Clockwork Orange

Caress Lepore — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 12:00:00 -0800

I just saw A Clockwork Orange over the past Halloween weekend. Why haven't I seen this movie earlier? It was pure awesomeness. This movie was pure sex in my opinion and I loved it. As soon as I saw it I knew I would have to do a spread inspired by it. Who can forget the white outfits, the eyelashes, and the red jumpsuit? Here is my interpretation of the movie.

Project Runway............. Thumbs Up Thumbs Down (Episode Eleven)

Caress Lepore — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:00:00 -0800

Here are my opinions.

Althea

This outfit was perfection. I loved the paper sack pants, the tank and the cardigan. I would wear the hell out of this outfit. Even though I like this outfit I was annoyed by Althea talking about some damn zippers that I didn't even notice that she put on a jacket last week.

Carol Hannah

I also love this dress. I would wear this all day and everyday. Carol Hannah just makes attractive clothes.

Design Star.......Karl Lagerfeld

Caress Lepore — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:00:00 -0800

I love Karl he can do no wrong. He could make a bedsheet toga and tell me it's fashion and I would somehow own 12 bedsheet togas. So bask in the greatness that is Karl. Click products for details and purchase info. Enjoy!!!

From The Storybooks to Streets............Wendy Darling

Caress Lepore — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 11:00:00 -0800

After spending so much time with Peter and his I don't want to grow up attitude Wendy finally decided that she did want to grow the hell up. And grow up is what she did. She is a young adult fresh out of university. She is starting her own fashion line Darling by Wendy. She is seen around town in pieces from her line but when she's not in her own line she wears the items above. Click products for details or purchase and as always enjoy!!
