Tip: Remove Blood Stains

I get bloody noses when I sleep all the time so when I wake up I get blood stains on my sheets and pillow cases. Blood stains are so bad for fabric because they are stubborn and hard to get out just with regular washing.

Here are my foul-proof tips to save all your fabrics:
1. NOTE* It is easiest if you can try to catch the stain when it is fresh, but if it is not, it's ok but combine some hydrogen peroxide and dish liquid in a bowl. Blot the stain with a sponge.

2. Wash in the laundry than air dry. If you put it in the dryer the heat may set the stain in the fabric even more.

3. If all else fails, get Oxy Clean

Black Friday 2009

I personally don't believe that all the brick-and-mortar stores that you will all flee to today, Black Friday will offer you the greatest deals in the world. Please don't ever stand in line for a sale. Are you serious? We are going into year 2010! The best deals have been proven to be online!

If your a skeptical like I am, this may be the best time this year to shop online. Many clothing stores are offering free shipping for orders over a certain amount. After work today I will be doing some browsing myself to take advantage of the one day only online sales.

Check out some of these online ads that I found. Also click the following link for more actual deals for you for this Holiday season. -->www.bfads.net<---Tip. To save even more money, only buy things you were actually needing, not just that you see thats a cheap price.

Tip: Rip your own Jeans

To simply achieve this look.

1. Just go to Goodwill or get your old pair of jeans that are plain and boring.

2. Take a sharp pair of scissors and open them completely. Quickly slice a horizontal line over your desired location.

3. Wash multiple times.

Failed: Pineapple Hair

I found this photo on a gossip website. Pause. I also want to remind everyone that [dressed] is not a gossip site! We focus on everything fashion related though.

While we are on that note, here is "Scary Spice", Melanie Brown and her "Scary daughter" rocking this ugly mo-hawk/hair-do of some sort. Why would she do this to the poor baby?

Christmas Wish List 2009

So I have put together my "dream" Christmas list. Christmas is coming up soon and it's the time for it now. I usually will end up having this list as my personal shopping list. No one ever gets me anything that I want LOL.

1. Rayban Glasses - When I tried these on the other day, my face seemed too big to wear them. I was kind of upset because they are so cute.

2. New iPhone Headphones - So I stepped on my headphones the other day and one of the earbuds is cracked. They are $30 for a new pair and I don't feel like purchasing them on my own.

3. Circle Scarf from American Apparel

4. Slouchy Hats

5. New Tattoo

6. Refil Foundation

7. Gold Jewelry - A bracelet from American Apparel will suffice.

8. Military Jacket

Book: The Teen Vogue Handbook: Insider's Guide to Careers in Fashion

For all the aspiring fashion kids, here is a great book that you all need for a great reference; The Teen Vogue Hand Book: An Insider's Guide to Careers in Fashion. I am a big fan of Teen Vogue, so this book should be very credible.

For Christmas shopping, this would make a great gift for anyone. The price point is very reasonable coming in at only $15.00 on Amazon. If I don't get it for Christmas, I wouldn't mind going out and get it myself.

Shoes: Nike Gladiator Sandals

The well known brand of Nike being plastered on the side of this allows you to really sport the shoes as a regular high-end "Aldo" gladiator.  I'm so much love with this shoe. I would wear it everyday if the weather permitted! It looks comfortable and durable. I am hearing that they are only available in Europe and around 80 Euros.

[dressed]_lady gaga - bad romance

I am so impressed with this work from Lady Gaga. At first I just thought all her videos were weird and abstract. Yes, this video can still be categorized as the same, but this one just sits apart!! I personally don't like the song, but there is just SO MUCH going on that you just have to watch and appreciate the story line. The video is a wooping 5 mins long, is she trying to be like MJ? I think I watched it 5 times in order to be ready for this post lol.

                          

This video is jam-packed with clothes, andy fashion guru will surely appreciate. I know for certain that she was rocking the Alexander McQueen 12 inch heels from his Spring 2010 runway show. I did a post on them recently that you can check out. Side note: She changed her eye color three times!

I have more screen shots from the video below:

                          

See for yourself what the buzz is all about and watch the video yourself.

[dressed] line_stevie boi clothing and accesories

        

[yutsu shades]

So I got up with a hot clothing and accessory designer based out of Washington, DC. His psudeonym and name of the clothing line; Stevie Boi.

[dressed] - Wow, so let me just say this, your line of sunglasses and accessories are so hot and yet unique at the same time! Your clothes and accessories give me a avant -garde feeling which I love that is brought to the masses. How did you find this niche of consumer to market to? 
SB - Thanks so much! I didn’t really research a market or anything, to promote to, I just put most of the work out their for people’s to view and buy.

From what I see your pieces look very cohesive, your ideas all come from you, or do you have a team of designers behind you? 
They all are very original and come from just the limited items I have or something I dreamt of.

My absolute favorite thing from www.stevieboi.com is the SB Fringe necklace! I totally need three of those! Tell the readers what are some of your favorite pieces and what people on the street could see you wearing? 
Well, the Shades are definitely the most popular thing on stevieboi.com, aswell as the clothes. Mostly all of the pieces are very edgy and come straight off the runway type feel to them. I definitely see some peeps rocking the strong shoulder padded jackets etc.

Every growing business has goals and dreams to make themselves strive. What are some of the project that you have on your plate coming up for Stevie Boi?
I have many celebs behind my shades aswell as a strong desire to strive. I'm not looking to make money. I'm looking to make a product and household name. SB

Hot or NOTt: Keyshia Cole in a Tutu

Here is the pregnant Keyshia Cole, she is wearing this hideous pink tutu which is not flattering for a pregnant woman at all. If you are pregnant, it is OK to wear clothes that flow away from your body, but at the same time, the denim jacket is cinching too tight above the baby bump.

Here is a good option Keyshia could have worn:

The dress is elegant but not showing off too much of the bump.

wegetDRESSED Daily Celebrity: Chris Brown

I hope you all saw the interview Rihanna gave last night on 20/20 if not you can catch snips of it on YouTube. And speaking of Rihanna we must mention "Chris Beat Em Down Brown". This is not a gossip/celebrity site, so I'm not going to discuss my feelings towards him, but I do LOVE this scarf.

recent purchase_CONTACTS!

Ok so now I'm free from my prescription lenses! They were so wack. I hated them with a passion. All my life I had nerdy glasses and was so unhappy with them. I have just been blessed recently and was able to get contacts. [I know I'm behind on the times].

Along with such a big change, here comes new accessory opportunities! I can't wait to show forth my new look. I have wanted to wear sunglasses for a long time.  Here is a pair [courtesy of Urban Outfitters] that I am loving. This style is very IN! Let's save up the cash!

OK so I was kind of excited to catch this new show on MTV. It premiered this past sunday at 10PM EST. So who all watched the show? Hate it or love it? My take on it? Ugh. That's basically all I have to say. I don't think anyone is actually qualified to be on the show!

Gary: Too scatter brained/ADD

Tara: We haven't seen her work yet.

Janna: Too quiet, and she didn't do all that well picking out the clothes for Kim

Brett: I still can't believe he actually "bought" clothes under someone else's name!!

Music: Keri Hilson - I Like

This track will not be an American album from her, but it is on a soundtrack to a movie in Germany called Zweiohrkuen. The song is a different sound for her if I say so myself. I wasn't expecting this. But it's very hot and is a definitely a club hit.

Yes, this trend hasn't died. I wrote about this last year. This look is borrowed from the ladies, but can be made very masculine.

Day 32: Halloween Makeup Attempt

Today I had to go to work on Halloween. Isn't that fortunate? On the flip side my job [Starbucks] allowed us to dress up though! I wasn't going to go out and buy an actual costume for work though. I do not have the money to be doing unnecessary splurges. So my co-worker told me I should be an "Emo Barista" lol. It sounded do-able when her and I were talking; I had all the need accessories. All I had to get was some cheap eyeliner from Walgreens.

How does it look? When I did my eye makeup I had the look in my head, I just don't think it played well on my face.
