i think black tights work in summer as long as its not too hot for the person wearing it. if ur uncomfortable and sweaty then its a lame fashion statements but if it doesnt bother you i think its fine. some people get cold in the summer (trust me, my sister walks around in flannel sweatshirts in the middle of thailand and is still shivering)

if you think youll still be wearing them 10 years from now then go for it. i dont see anything wrong with a 16 year old in heels (i loved them when i was 16 too) as long as the rest of your clothes dont look like you stole them from a 25 year olds wardrobe. just think about how often ull wear them and what ull wear them with first, and if there are enough options then go ahead. but if you do get them, make sure you get some rubber soles put on (apparently the louboutin store in ny recommends a place that makes them look just like the leather soles) so that you dont destroy the leather when you walk

haha i think i would have alot of fun wearing something like that! but it would be better if it was neon pink instead of orange. but it wouldnt exactly be something id wear all the time. i also think it would be cool to see something like that bodysuit, with the same shape/highlighter effect, but in the form of a mini dress

well she never actually said that she thought it was sleazy because of the breasts. i personally agree with the top commenter, but of the weird scrawny feather boa, and the lace thing she was wearing. it makes it look cheap. the breasts however, are perfectly fine with me. i didnt like the 6th photo either, i just dont like the boa (the feathers in the 8th photo are fantastic though)

now im confused. i only saw the top sign at first so i thought it was funny..then i looked a little lower and started wondering why they wanted us to wear hipsters (as in the people kind) with lace camis....then i looked even lower and was like 'ohhhh..panties'. i feel really pathetic now...and i still cant figure out whether they meant it as a joke or not

since when does hallouueen spell halloween?
i actually like the color combination on the narciso outfit but i think with the darker shades of orange its too much like a costume for me

i like this look sometimes but with my neatfreak personality i couldnt wear it everyday. i understand it when ur tired and running late but even then ive gotten up at 5am for work over the summer (where this is definately not in the dres code) and 5:30 for school so im good at looking put together fast. i think a little mess is nice here and there but i need a balance

to the guest at 6:20pm, since when is a romper only for Soho 20 somethings? I see 5 year olds wear them quite often so I dont think there is any age limit to it.
Delias actually comes out with 1 or 2 nice things each season, all of those mall stores do you just have to dig around for a bit.

ive never worked in retail (yet) but i totally go around straightening things up when there are messes in stores. but im just a neatfreak like that. i actually would like to work in retail when im in college because it seems like it wouldnt be so bad (and less greasy than flipping burgers at mcdonalds)

omg, to #35 im pretty sure no one was talking about that. im sure there are sweatshops in europe that people here would definately be opposed to and as long as the asians, latin americans, etc. are paid well and work in good conditions its fine. plus, theres a good chance that some of the people here are from countries that have large numbers of sweatshops (ex. china) and i doubt they support sweatshop made clothes either.

to guest 25, how on earth is finding short shorts ugly considered homophobic? you are aware that straight men do have legs, and as such are physically capable of wearing short shorts just as well as gay men. i also wasnt aware that there was a cultural norm that dicated how mens legs should be displayed. i think you are reading way too much into this. some people think men in short shorts are ugly and some people dont. just like some people find sweaters ugly and others dont. its not because they have been conditioned to believe that wearing sweaters goes against the cultural norm, its just a personal preference

as a tip for the heat, carry a fan in your purse. im sure you can find a pretty lace one or a wooden one (sometimes the wooden ones have lovely painted designs on them) somewhere in new york. ive lived in thailand for the past 4 years (where 90 degrees is totally normal, all year round) and i can tell you that it really helps. and looks cute too : )

guest #48 - i think she meant the dress was too short to be chic, not the girl

i rhink it depends on what ur used to. i lived in thailand for 4 years (imagine 95 degrees and 90% humidity, year round) and people at my school would sometimes wear thick sweaters and complain that they are freezing. and my sister has always worn fleece sweaters in the summer with no problem cuz she gets cold easily. if ur doing it just to be ahead of the trends even though your dying of heat its stupid, but for people that are actually comfortable that way i think its fine. its just that you can never tell which is which just by looking at someone on the street.

um, while i would be dissapointed if i was buying a magazine with a cover girl i dont like or bad art direction (because its always sooo much nicer when theres a pretty cover, even if the inside is good either way) i wouldnt stop from buying just because random people on the street might see me with it. i dont see why you should give a damn about the opinions of some people on the subway that you dont even know, especially since they probably dont give a damn about u and your magazine anyway. and if its your friends that are judging you just for a freakin magazine...well, maybe they're not such good friends to have.
