Tired of "HOLIDAY" Dressing?

For as long as I have been truly enthused about fashion (about age 8) I have noticed the dozens of retail stores and (in this decade) websites who consistently market "holiday collections".

Katy Perry's VMA Outfit: Is Liking It a Crime?!

It is not unlike me to like controversial fashion. In other words, I'm a big fan of several of Katy's ensembles; namely the ones that other blogs have listed as "the worst dressed" or flat out "bizarre". We're in an era where body painting is big, and this dress presents a similar tattooed effect. Yes, the sheer bodice and flouncy white skirt are a bit Nancy Kerrigan. However, this dress fit her pretty great… Continue
