Basically, the price of cotton is expected to rise come 2011. Just Google "cotton prices will rise" and you'll see a number of articles suggesting that.
Do you care that some clothes are going to be more expensive? Personally, I don't really buy graphic tees anymore, and I refuse to buy completely plain shirts or shirts with details that I could easily DIY. That leaves jeans and other things made of cotton... I don't usually pay more than $60 for a pair of jeans, and I also don't shop a lot, so I'm not too concerned about this whole price increase. I'd only really care if it were to go from like, $60 to $120 for the same pair!
Maybe we should stock up on luxury denim, then?
Music day -- Yelawolf
You may not have heard of this guy, but he's a quickly rising star in the hip-hop world. I don't wanna do a whole review of why I like Yelawolf*; I'd rather let the music speak for itself. I hope you enjoy it! Oh, and don't compare him to Eminem. (Be warned, there is cursing in this song.)
*That's a huge understatement. I am obsessed with this guy.

Paris Fashion Week (Azzaro, Anne Valerie Hash, Cerruti, Carven, Yohji Yamamoto, Haider Ackermann, Gareth Pugh, Pedro Lourenco, Junya Watanabe)
Apparently these were supposed to be grown-up versions of a little girl's party dresses. I can definitely see that in the first (my favorite!) and last dresses. The others, not so much.
This was probably one of my favorite collections from Paris this season. I really like the mild, soft palette and the flowing construction of most of the garments.
I hadn't heard of Carven before, but this was certainly one of the most striking collections from Spring 2011. Absolutely love the built in tied sweater around the collar on the fourth dress, and the handkerchief hem on the second.
I absolutely love these dresses. Not exactly every day clothing, but they'd make for some good costumes. I'm seeing Helena Bonham-Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange or as the pie lady from Sweeney Todd (what was her name again?).
Not my favorite collection by Pugh by far, but interesting nonetheless. Love the shape of the last dress/top/coat/what the hell is it??
Dark nail polishes for Fall (recent purchases)
I went shopping the other day and couldn't resist the siren call of the nail polish aisle. I think a lot of people overlook NYC cosmetics, but their nail polish is awesome (and so are a few products, but I'll save that for another time)! The quality is fantastic, and they are quite cheap. I got these colors for $0.89 each! Cheap as HELL.
I haven't used them yet because I'm not sure if I want to wear such dark nail polish to work (though they probably wouldn't care), but also because I've been too lazy to paint my nails this week.
The color names are Purple Pizzazz, Black Lace, Skin Tight Denim.
