Things we love: Clueless

Clueless is one of our all time favorite movies. Lauren and I often work in quotes into our daily conversations. Do we get looks? Yes, we do. But who cares if you don't love Clueless, we think you're weird.


Aside from being one of the greatest things to come out of the 90's, Clueless can also offer some good life lessons - for example:

Boys:
So okay, I don't want to be a traitor to my generation and all but I don't get how guys dress today. I mean, come on, it looks like they just fell out of bed and put on some baggy pants and take their greasy hair - ew - and cover it up with a backwards cap and like, we're expected to swoon? I don't think so.

Love:
He does dress better than I do, what would I bring to the relationship?

Politics:
So like, right now for example. The Haitians need to come to America. But some people are all, "What about the strain on our resources?" Well it's like when I had this garden party for my father's birthday, right? I put R.S.V.P. 'cause it was a sit-down dinner. But some people came that like did not R.S.V.P. I was like totally buggin'. I had to haul ass to the kitchen, redistribute the food, and squish in extra place settings. But by the end of the day it was, like, the more the merrier. And so if the government could just get to the kitchen, rearrange some things, we could certainly party with the Haitians. And in conclusion may I please remind you it does not say R.S.V.P. on the Statue of Liberty. Thank you very much.

Art:

Tai: Do you think she's pretty?
Cher: No, she's a full-on Monet
Tai: What's a Monet?
Cher: It's like a painting, see? From far away, it's ok, but up close, it's a big old mess

Swoon...

In honor of Kanye West's B-day we're going to award our Swoon of the week to the self proclaimed super star of the world. Kanye is a great example of someone who you wouldn't look twice at if he was walking down the street, but with the right clothes and some over the top threats against the "game", society, and anyone on a lower level than himself, could become attractive.

Kanye is that bad boy who you want to have a relationship with but at the same time reform him enough to take him home to mom. You also want to know that if the opportunity arises, and he will verbally crush somebody in your defense. We like a man who uses his words as his weapon.

Kayne also gets points in the style department, his stylist must have his work cut out for him daily, you can only dress a divo (male form of a diva) for so long before they toss you to the wolves for not keeping your look fresh.

Fab Icon: Michelle WIlliams

A Fab Icon is a little less than a style icon. To be a style icon, you probably needed to jump on the scene pre-Saved By The Bell. This would give you a good 20 year stint to cement your icon status. However, there should be a term for those who have been consistent with their style for the past 10 years. This means anyone who jumped on the scene during the Dawson's Creek era of life is acceptable.

Our first Fab Icon is none other than DC alum Michelle Williams. Since the show, Michelle has truly come into her own style-wise and has recently been making some awesome red carpet decisions. We love her because her look is so versatile, she can be shabby on the streets with her daughter, chic at the premiers, casual and stylish out shopping, we love it all! She doesn't just fit into one category, she can work all aspects of a trend without making it trite.

I'm not sure what Carly is grooving to this week so I decided rather than ask her, I would post a song that ALWAYS reminds me of her:




My groove of the week:



LOVE IT. LIVE IT.
