    Lest anyone be losing sleep about the state of my sandal collection after my annoying experience with my Guess slingbacks, you may rest assured that I have solved my dilemma. Introducing my new Kenneth Cole Reaction sandals, pictured above. I cannot WAIT for spring weather to arrive so I can wear these babies.

    So long, Guess Rally slingbacks. May the used clothing store buy you so you can bother someone else.

Trend Review: Jumpsuits

    So, I'm browsing though the latest InStyle magazine, and what did I happen upon? Yet ANOTHER magazine editor telling us that jumpsuits are back, and in a big way.

    Let me just tell you two things about jumpsuits:
    1. If you are over 25, you WILL look ridiculous in something this trendy and utterly silly; and
    2. They are NOT flattering. Nope, not even the one everyone says is flattering. It's a damn jumpsuit people! Are you blind?

    You can call them rompers if it makes you feel better, but even in silk or cashmere, jumpsuits are not ok. I get why they are appealing- one piece is easy and means you can focus on the really fun part of dressing: accessories. However, that's why god- or Diane von Furstenberg- invented dresses. And I get that being totally covered up can be comforting. But overalls are comforting, and I don't see those all over the damn place. (Overalls are in the Unacceptable category too, in case you were wondering.)

    You know what I find comforting? The idea that women will somehow see through the complete bull in some of these magazines and learn to think for themselves. Just a little bit. I'm not throwing stones- I read all of the same magazines. I just have learned that not every trend is a good one and many of them don't work for many people.

    There is no way jumpsuits are here to stay. They are retro in the worst of ways. And they are most certainly not flattering on actual people. If, by some craziness, my prediction turns out to be wrong and jumpsuits flood the market and people bite, my unwavering faith in women to make good decisions most of the time will be severely shaken.

    You know what the woman in this picture looks like? A trend slave, an auto mechanic, and a little fat. And there's no way this Bebe model is fat. Bebe.com, by the way, has an entire shopping category for jumpsuits. Imagine my delight upon discovery that little bit of trivia.

    Please don't buy a damn jumsuit. If you must dress head to toe in all one color and fabric, try some separates with interesting, or at least contrasting, shapes. A little variety and creativity never hurt anyone.

    Even if you detest birds, a la my little sis, surely you can appreciate the intricate, organic nature of these pieces. Butterflies, flowers, bees, oh my. The stuff is ridiculously adorable without feeling kitschy. And the prices aren't even super scary.

Superbowl Party Attire

    It's all about jeans, ladies. Costumes are not going to impress the boys OR the girls, and I swear if I see a dress of ANY kind I will throw up. Now is the time to pull out that NFL jersey your little brother got you for Christmas. Now is not the time to show off your new pumps from Bloomies. In the last several years, I have seen grotesque amounts of thong underwear, prissy heels, and way too much cleavage at Superbowl parties.

    Let's all be realistic this year: it's about the game, the commercials, the (hopefully scandalous) half-time show, and chili. It's not about you.
