Great Find: Loyal Army Hoodies

I LOVE hooded sweatshirts. I can't help it, I am a tomboy at heart. Plus, I rationalize, that it is always cold in Boston, even in the summer, so you need an extensive stash of warm clothing. I got a great tip today from Naomi at Superdumb Supervillan about Loyal Army. Even with my extensive collection, I have never heard of these sweatshirts, but they are so cute!

My two particular favorites are the Big Houndstooth and Happy Clouds. I think I the Happy Clouds one could honestly lift me up on those bad mood days (aka today). Who couldn't feel happy when wearing happy clouds and yellow :)

Not only are these hoodies cute, but really cheap. I will admit that I am not beyond spending $100 on a really good hoodie, I am going to wear it all the time. However, if I can get one just as cute for $35, I am definitely going for it. I have already added the Big Houndstooth to my cart and will definitely hit "buy" at the end of the day (I am also a deep thinker when it comes to hoodies...).

Naomi also mentioned they would be coming out with a new baby line, which I am sure will be super cute!

FINALLY!! The Sex and the City trailer released today!!

I think every woman between the ages of 20 to 50 have been eagerly anticipating the release of Sex in the City: the Movie. The drama, the fashion, the shoes! Any woman in that age range has a closet full of shoes that they never wear and their husband or boyfriend can't understand. Sex in the City was the first show that finally made it OK to be selfish, whimsical, strong, and realistic, all at the same time. What can we say, we're a moody bunch.

So (drum roll...) the official trailer was released today!!! Yeah!!!

Stop reading now if you don't want to find out a little bit more about the movie.


I heard the other day that Big leaves Carrie at the alter in the beginning of the movie. Surprised? I'm not. Even though the ending of the last show people saw why Carrie had held out for Big so long, in the end, I believe he is just an ass. Now it is surprising that I don't like him since I usually fall for assholes myself. I think the difference is that Big pretends to be a good guy, but is just pompus, selfish, and, well, an ass. Aidan would have been my choice, but where is the drama in happily ever after?

Watch them shooting the scene of Big talking to Carrie after not showing up at the church.

In addition, someone dies. The LA times is assuming it is one of the main characters, but they would never do that, especially if there are plans for a sequel.

Look for more Sex in the City movie drama soon ;)

Super Heros...In Vogue

I am not ashamed to admit I am the first one to start running to the theater as soon as a new Spider Man movie is released. Although I was only a comic book fan of the Archie series, and still get a little nostalgic when I see them at the check out stands at grocery stores, I never really revealed in the Marvel fantasies.

However, ironically, as I became more of an "adult" I started to look for something more to remove me from the ins and outs of my everyday routine. I am still not a comic book fan, but I love comic book movies. Being able to fly, be invisible, the battle against good and evil, always a good time. An now it seems as though the fashion world is starting to take notice as well.

In the new issue of Vogue, the magazine does a spread mimicing classic super heroes with haute coutoure. I LOVE IT! Of course haute coutoure isn't practically for your Friday night at the bar, Vogue makes it both simultaneously whimsical and strong. I'm guessing the spread is in large part due in conjunction with their cover girl, Gwyneth Paltrow, being the leading lady in this summer's Iron Man.

What do you think? High fashion or hideous?
