I'm Such A Ripoff

Could it be? No! It couldn't!

Yessss! It's Dolce and Gabbana on the cheap.

Dolce Way:

Hannah Cheeto Way:


Hollister shirt (um, it's old). Thrifted scarf, belt, and tartan skirt. Target socks. Payless shoes.

And yes, my hair is clearly from the 70s when not flat ironed....

It's A Call I'll Never Get

I originally wore this with yellow knee-high socks and Converse, but I didn't really want to put them back on post-shower.



American Apparel cardigan and skirt. Top made by me. Forever 21 sunglasses.

Our kitchen is almost finished! Time to move out of the basement! Yes!

It's not completely evident considering how I dress, but I am a sucker for beautiful things like Marchesa.

It Makes Me A Little Sad....

You might have heard of Kira Plastinina, the 16-year-old daughter of a Russian orange juice mogul (I'm not making this up) who has started her own eponymous chain store. Most everything I've heard of her so far has been applauding the fact that's so young and has her own store—the entrepreneurial spirit she must have! The ambition it must take to design a full line clothing at such a young age! And to decide to make it affordably priced so those unfortunates who aren't billionaires can have the clothes too! So I thought it would be a good idea to take a look at some of the clothes on her site. To say I was disappointed was an understatement, and my hopes hadn't even been set that high by what I'd already seen. Though, what did I expect from a girl my age who likes Hilary Duff and claims Paris Hilton as a role model. I can't imagine a single teen with half a bud of taste wearing any of this stuff and as I have learned from fashion blogging, some teenagers are actually quite stylish and would be able to design things 1000000x better. Here's a sampling of what Kira has to offer.

This monstrosity is for "when you can’t decide on a print tee, a swooping v-neck, or a hoodie—this top saves you from the pressure of early morning decision-making". It also saves you from the pressure of trying to look cheap—there's no effort involved here!

Shall I even began to enumerate the things wrong with this? To avoid stating the obvious, pockets in that area never work. Even the model is disgusted.

It doesn't work. It's like a balloon and an oversized softball shirt mated and had a baby which decided to call itself a dress. I won't even get into the random hood....

Ah, yes! This was just what was missing from my wardrobe! It brings "serious style to the all too regular hoodie". Yes. Wet Seal called. They want their archive piece from 2003 back.

Let's get things straight. I like this. I want this. But this thing... tramples the boundaries of taste and not in a good, innovative way.

These do not ever flatter the model. Enough said.

The really sad thing is that I would actually wear these if they weren't in a cheap-looking shiny fabric. That totally ruins them.

This is the "Punk Rock Princess" skirt. I'm not even going to get into that oxymoron, but again the only thing I can say is cheap.

Beating the dead horse, but these are odd and ugly and not in a good way like dropped crotch pants. I can't picture anyone wearing them unironically.


I'm not trying to be mean, and, if by some crazy chance Kira reads this, I'm not insulting you. I'm simply more than annoyed that just because your father is incredibly wealthy you get to make your own tacky store with what are in my own opinion extremely ugly clothes. Write me off as just being jealous that I can't have my own stores, okay? You have had all of this handed to you on a dainty little platter as you sit on your velour princess chair. Or private jet. There are so many more talented unknown designers who could use the money being wasted in opening 32 American stores. I'm putting all my faith in the American people that no one will buy this.

So Demode!

Christopher Kane way:


Martin Margiela way:


Hannah Cheeto way:



H&M vest. ??? lace tank top. Jeans I customized. Old Navy wedges.

One of the older builders walked down the driveway right as I took this picture. He thought I was running away from a bee. Needless to say I ran inside immediately to take the detail pictures. Anyway I "customized" these jeans by ripping, bleaching, and pinning them into skinnies with safety pins (the sewing machine is packed away somewhere... but I kind of like the way it looks). Original these were a pair of ugly fake too big 7 For All Mankind jeans I got on Ebay two years ago that I wore once, but now I like the way they came out! I'm not entirely sure what else I'm going to wear with them, though, any suggestions?

Oh Dear Abbey Dawn

The moment you've all been waiting for... Avril Lavigne's celebrity clothing line! At Kohls of all places!





I knew you guys would be into it. I might have been, in 7th grade. But now, the only things vaguely of interest to me are this, this, and this. Honestly, it all looks like Wet Seal cast offs. And that's a bad thing.

Leggings Will Never Die!

Quick, fashionistas, scoop up Lindsay Lohan's hawt new leggings line at Shop Intuition exclusively! You can get leggings with knee pads, bronze metallic leggings, leggings with zippers*, and even the "Leopard Ankle Gloves" pictured below! All for the affordable, reasonable prices of $42-$132!



In all seriousness, while I would wear the leggings L. Lo designed, I would never pay the prices they're asking. I do actually (weirdo Hannah) find the knee pad leggings oddly attractive... and functional!

Oh, and by the way I'm going away until Sunday... so I won't be able to post.

*Which look just like these Hot Topic ones, except $100 more. But the Hot Topic ones appear to be gone... BUT my favorite mall goth store has petticoats!

That Girl Is Scandalous

I already uploaded the pictures to this one, so I can post it! Yay!

Prada Way:


Dolce Way:


Ruffian Way:


Hannah Cheeto Way:


Corset, 80's vintage. Target mens t-shirt. Cheap Monday jeans. Converse sneakers.

The ever scandalous Hannah, wearing frilly lingerie outside her clothing. My mom was like, "Well that's a bit provocative" and compared it to Madonna's Gaultier corset, but I don't really get the comparison. I thought it was mostly fine especially since it was over a baggy t-shirt but... I probably wouldn't wear it to school or babysitting. I wore it thrifting, though.

(And this is from Tuesday, pre-haircut!)

Wild Night (Fashion Show Part III)

This is Part III. Read Parts I & II first!

The outfits and the runway:









We ended up having a lot of fun and we totally killed the runway. Maybe I should become a real model or something (just kidding! haha neverrrr). Or a real fashion designer... so many people have asked me if I want to be a fashion designer but I usually tell them I don't because... I don't. I mean I'll have fun making clothes but I don't really think being a fashion designer would be a good career for me... I mean, it's so competitive and yeah I don't even think I should think about careers now because I'm not even out of 9th grade yet. But I don't see myself actually going into fashion designing as a career.

Wet Your Lips, And Smile For The Camera (Fashion Show Part II)

This is Part II. Read Part I first!


Amy and Julia wearing their outfits! (I made everything except the v-neck, obvi.) This is really not the best clothes picture though.

Me, being fabulous (*cough loser cough*). Yes, I have farmer's tan (or track tan, as we call it) despite my attempts to apply sunscreen.

Ally being Ally.

Cuties! (Is this starting to sound Myspace-y... uh-oh!)

A really flattering picture of me talking on the phone while getting my makeup done.


Finished hair.

I kind of cheated... I did not make the vest! But I needed it to style this outfit.

Group shot!

End Part II. Part III coming as soon as Blogger lets me upload it!
