breakfast inspiration

lately when cutting my grapefruits, i've done so using a huge carving knife.

why??

because it's all about dichotomy!!!

it's not like, oh, look at that prissy little girl taking 15 minutes to cut her grapefruit, it's like, who is that tough broad cutting her breakfast with a machete???

see how that works?

pairing opposites is also very important in fashion.

for example, if you need something to wear under your fall sweater, choose an opposite fabric, maybe a soft satin, or a crisp cotton to offset the nubbiness of your sweater.

par exemple:



jcrew does this really well. they have lots of looks on their website and in their catalogues of great pairings that create looks with many layers sans bulkiness and full of easy style.

take note! it's all about the cardigan this fall. i, personally, have always DIED for cardigans. they're so classically retro and feminine. i mean, you can do an animal print cardigan and it's no big thing, but take away those buttons and put that print on a sweater and you look ridiculous- i mean, what's that about??

anyway, i've said it before and i'll say it again: layers make you look tres chic (and they're super convenient!! i mean, can you say sweaty metro ride into a frigid office??)!! so when you're trying everything in your closet on with everything else, try your opposites, it'll surprise you how lovely it looks.

don't believe me?? well BACK OFF! i've got a big knife and i know how to use it!
