Fotoshop by Adobe: “Up Yours, Perfection!” [video]

It’s Monday morning and you wake up looking like a train-wreck. You’re bloated, you have a pulsating pimple on your chin (gross, but true), your eyebrows are in serious need of a wax and your new haircut isn’t looking so hot without your professional salon blowout and zillion products. So what do you do?

You say, “Up Yours, Perfection!” Because all the BS you see in the magazines that brainwashes you into thinking that women are supposed to be flawless and stop aging at 25 and stop gaining weight at 125lbs is a bunch of lies. Unless of course they’re using some Fotoshop by Adobé…

I don’t know about you, but I thought this video spoof was pretty freaking funny. Jesse Rosten, the creator was spot on with the beauty commercial voice over and microbeads and all that other stuff those beauty commercials do to trick you into thinking women just look like the THAT all the time.

So hats off to you Mr. Rosten – you da bomb.

Aloha.

Jason Wu For Target (Caution: Extremely Drool-Worthy Content)

Posted on by

Wuuuu freaking huuuuuu! Jason Wu for Target is finally here – well, sort of. It’s just the look book (keep reading to find out when the collection hits stores), but it’s definitely enough to get me salivating over the uber cute dresses, tops, skirts and more that make up Wu’s to-die-for affordable collection for the Target. I mean c’mon, what don’t you NEED about this adorable outfit?

Jason-Wu-Target-Yellow-Top-Black-Skirt

What’s that song? “Black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow…” I’ll take it all!

Amazeballs right? And the best part is that his collection is priced between $19.99 and $59.99. Let’s keep in mind however that Hawaii is practically Mars, so shipping costs usually up our prices by $10, sometimes $20 bones (lamesauce). But considering the fact that an original Wu can set you back a couple G’s, the price difference is a cup-of-tea. And I love a nice tea, especially if I have a nice tea dress…

Perfect for that Cup-Of-Tea!

But what about for after tea? You know, like when you have a movie date and you need a super cutey and comfy top? Well, duh…

Jason-Wu-Target-Striped-Top-Shorts

If you’re wearing this top, you’re pretty much instantly the most stylish, coolest, hippest, cutest person in the room.

Wow Wu, you’re good (does anyone else find the phrase, “wow, Wu” funny?). How about an outfit for my bi-monthly bitches who brunch followed by an afternoon at the mall? Whatda ya know…

Jason-Wu-Target-Floral-Dress

Who knew floral could look so edgy!

So basically Mr. Wu has it covered. I bet he’s a ninja too. At the very minimum it’s safe to say he’s a fashion-ninja, creating these gorg pieces for great prices. Seriously though, you could buy the entire Jason Wu for Target collection for less than the price of one piece in the Jason Wu Spring 2012 Collection.

FYI, the collection will land in Target stores on February 5th and if it’s anything like the Missoni for Target frenzy, it’ll be sold out (and listed on eBay) before you finish your morning latte. What does that mean? Come Sunday, February 5th, skip the caffeine and head straight to the nearest Target if you want to get you fashionable hands on some of these goods.

Ok, enough jibber-jabber. Let’s get to business and take a look at the rest of the AMAZEBALL pieces from the Jason Wu for Target collection…

Fashion Faux Pas Friday!

It’s been awhile hasn’t it? Sorry, I let the Holiday Season get the best of me (aka extreme laziness set in). But I’m back! And what better way to say Happy New Year than to go a whole day at work with a freaking rip in the butt seam of my H&M dress…

Mental Mele, stop poking fun at me!

FML, right?

The best part is that I had no idea that my dress was torn until my dear friend Tess suggested I never wear that dress again:

Tess: “Um, Malia. You probably shouldn’t wear that dress again.”

Me: “What, why? {thinking to myself…This dress is adorbs and comfy. Has Tess gone mad?}

Tess: “Because there’s tear in the butt seam and at the right angle it’s extremely obvious!”

Me: “Are you serious? FASHION FAUX PAS FRIDAY HERE I COME! {thinking to myself…Malia, you need to stop indulging in the holiday treats in the office coffee room or at least go for jog after you eat like 10 Big Island Cookies!}

Tess, thanks for getting my back and letting me know that my butt was on its way to making a name for itself in Fort Street Mall! In the great words of Charlie Sheen, #winning.

Anyhow, it’s definitely not the most fashionable way to kick off 2012, but at least it’s funny!

h&m-dress-torn

You can barely tell...until the wind blows!

Oh, and in case you’re wondering, I took it like a champ and worked the rest of the day with my torn dress, making sure to walk awkwardly sideways against the wall in an effort to hide the ripped seam. I also banned myself from the holiday treats, but that only lasted until the next morning at work.

Aloha and Happy New Year!
