Crazy or Cool?

Jeggings – Crazy or Cool?

August 17, 2010

It seems the fashion gods have heard Singapore’s prayers: denim, minus the weight! I’m not gonna lie… I’m all over this. I never wear jeans in daylight here because Singapore is so freaking hot and humid, so I’m SO excited by the thought of this. I’m no fashionista, but I’ve been seeing denim coming back in fashion and thank God, because I love denim! I’ve forever been in love with skinny jeans and believe that wearing jeggings is about as skinny as you can get….

I’m going to town ASAP to try some on, though I have one great worry with leggings as pants: what if you sit down and it splits? Eek! Still, I’m totally loving jeggings, so this is a big COOL from me.

What do you think? Are jeggings crazy or cool?

So… applying eyeshadow all the way to your eyebrows – is it crazy or cool? Have you ever done this before? I personally haven’t and don’t plan to anytime soon. I like to keep my shadow a little past my crease and know for sure if I extended it to my eyebrows, I’d look mad! But for this lovely model (at the Derek Lam Fall fashion show) and for some others, it really works and looks great… just not on me. It’ll be a ‘crazy’ for me this time ’round!

OK spill – how do you normally do your eyeshadow? Would you ever apply it all the way to your eyebrows?

It looks like the trend of pastel colors is not leaving us anytime soon, much to my delight, because I love it! Pastel colors just make me think of princesses, innocence, cotton candy and being a little girl…. So adorable. Of course, this love might have to do with the fact I’m turning 22 in a few months and I’m completely in denial about being an adult.

Anyway, at the Balenciaga fall 2010 collection, the pastel colored hair trend went a bit down south – to the eyebrows!

I have to admit, I burst out laughing when I saw these pictures. Only because I feel sorry for the models – all the crazy stuff they have to wear. They must feel a but stupid sometimes, no? The pastel colored brows really suited the clothes, though I’m wondering if this is a ‘trend’ that will ever leave the runway. We once talked about how bleached eyebrows are a tad scary, but what about candy and pastel colored eyebrows?

I guess you know my thoughts on this one. ;) But what do you think, are pastel-colored eyebrows crazy or cool?

Hands up who sported pigtails when they were kids? :) Pigtails are synomonious with young kids, probably because it’s so freaking cute. But I wonder, what do you think about pigtails n adults; say, past the age of 12? Is it still cute for you?

I gotta say I’m not loving it on adults, although like many of our “crazy or cool” posts, it’s all about your individual style. (Especially Zooey Deschanel. Can she do no wrong?!) Personally, I would look totally ridiculous and it just reminds me of the playground too much!

Would love to know your thoughts on this: pigtails on adults – crazy or cool? Do you still sport pigtails?

As some of you may know, I do have a great interest in fashion. (I just can’t afford it, sob.) So I completely get that sometimes fashion is eccentric, crazy, over the top, cool, you name it. It is art, after all, and I love that.

But I saw this latest trend of bunny ears and I was just confused as to why it was a trend. I can’t decide whether it’s supposed to look cute or … I don’t know. It doesn’t make sense, so bunny ears may be too much for me. I don’t have any reason not to like it, but I just think it looks a little dumb – so this might have to be a ‘crazy’ for me this time!

What do you think? Bunny ears – crazy or cool?

Yes, this is a man wearing fake eyelashes. And yes, I too am jealous of his perfectly applied eye makeup – it looks amazing!

Anyway, we last discussed what you thought about ‘Guyliner’ (men wearing eyeliner) and it was mixed responses, which I love – I love hearing all of your opinions! However, I need to take it further. What if the man in your life had a more perfectly applied smokey eye than you? What if he’s also wearing your foundation, stealing your lip balm, or worse – secretly trying on your expensive Shu Uemura fake eyelashes?

I’m sure we are all very aware that actors, TV presenters and musicians all wear makeup for TV appearances and photo shoots. But how much is too much for you? What’s your limit, if any? What I’m talking about those not in front of the camera – should they really leave the house with a face full of foundation, bronzer, colored lip balms and mascara filled lashes? What do you think?

Generally I think to each their own, but for my significant other I really don’t mind too much, as long as he doesn’t look like this. However, I might have to rip out his eyelashes in anger if they are longer (and prettier) than mine. ;)

Fashion sometimes is either genius or very, very weird. (Most of the time genius, though.) Some trend are awesome, some … a little bit out of the box, to say the least. “Crazy or Cool” this time around comes from the suggestion of Dip (thanks Dip!). She wanted to know what others think of the bleached eyebrow trend, and so do I!

Personally, I think this trend looks great in editorial and it’s very high fashion. It gives the most focus on the eyes, and the eye makeup can really stand out. Not to mention, the models look more intense and extreme – I love it. In real life though, I might think it’s a bit weird. I mean, eyebrows frame the face and gives so much expression, so and the person may look permanently surprised. So fashion; love it. Real life, not so much.

What do you think of the bleached eyebrow trend? Is this trend crazy or cool to you?
