{ Zoe Kravitz for ASOS }

I just died and went to heaven. As I'm sure you have all noticed ASOS is my absolute favorite website to order from, they have all the best stuff and who doesn't love free shipping? (THANKS NAVI !) On my latest stroll through the interweb I stumbled on the ASOS lookbook featuring wait for it........

ZOE KRAVITZ! Ummm Helloz! 

Can we talk about these backgrounds for a second???

Shut.Up.

{ Coming Clean }

When I was a kid my mom called me 'Hurricane Leslie' because every room I entered was left in complete disarray. My bedroom was always stacked with clutter and filth and I preferred the headache of arguing about it to the arm ache of actually cleaning it up. I'm not sure what clicked with me but when I hit twenty I became disgusted with my lifestyle and decided to come clean (literally)! Today I am the freak who scrubs her baseboards and obsessively vacuums, and dust? fuggetaboutit. While I would still like to revamp some I.D aspects (a headboard perhaps?), I am happy to finally share my space.

{ Female Fail }

Ladies, it's your turn. As women, we have a lot more fashion choices than men. If you are not careful you can make the wrong one. Rule of thumb: just because you've seen it on someone else does not mean it will look good on you.

The ruched, leopard, bodycon dress. Bodycon stands for 'body conscious', if you are not conscious that you have a bad body you have defeated the purpose. 

The power of Christ compels you.

There is no better way to look trashy than to hack off your brows.

For the last time, THIS LOOKS STUPID.

 BACKRACK.

I love leggings as much as the next girl, they are quick and comfortable, just make sure you test their opacity before wearing them out.

{ Summer Playlist }

 I am an incessant list-maker, I can't decide if it is a strength or a downfall.  I list what I eat, my workouts, regimens, finances, gratitudes, goals, ideas, and the ever famous to-do lists seem to stack up on my desk to the point of inconvenience.  Yesterday I caught myself intermixing lists (which is a big no-no for perfectionist Virgos like myself).  On the edge of random post its, napkins, and notebook pages I found I had scribbled down artists and songs that I've been meaning to download.  Once I got all the chicken scratch compiled to one list I realized I had inadvertently created an excellent summer playlist. 

Me - Dev

Push It - Jessie & The Toy Boys

I'm Still Hot - Luciana

Boys & Girls - Martin Solveig Ft. Dragonette

{ User Error }

I am proud to say I created a pretty cool photo collage on InDesign to share with my readers. I am not so proud to admit that it took entirely too long to create said collage, and I now cannot figure out how to post it. I am confident that I will have this problem figure out by tomorrow ( * fingers crossed * ).

{ Male Fail }

Ok, I like to keep my posts as positive and carefree as possible, but let's face it- this is the real world.  There are a few things I would like to address regarding men's fashion. I don't want to say that men don't know what they are doing because some of my best dressed friends are male but I will say a few of them/you seem a bit lost.

Like this for instance, if you are wearing this tee shirt out and are NOT mistaken for 'The Situation' - congratulations, you just won the Gold Medal in the douschelympics.

Oh hey ladybutt, nice jeans...

These hats are perfectly acceptable... IN THE WINTER.

Ahhh the chinstrap beard, this 'ninja' of the facial hair world can certainly sneak up on a girl, right before it screams in her face 'I'm trying to camouflage my double chin! ! '.  Too bad all that beer drinking you do doesn't create a better jawline.

I do not want to see your butt

Unf*ckable.

Stop. it.
