The Columnist Twill Pants and Random things

(Folks, you have come to the right place. This is Nelah's same old blog, I just played with new design and tested out my long lost html skills)

I guess I am not totally head over heels over this particular style. I ordered two Twill Columnist pants in heather gray and pitch black. The style and fabric are very beautiful and modern but I don't think they look as flattering as the Editor Wide Waistband here. For some odd reason, they are also bigger in the waist area despite the fact that they are in the same size (00S) as the Editor but I assume the position where it sits on the body is differnt. There is a gap (around 1 inch or so) but I can fix that with a belt. Since it is sort of loose, that makes these pants too long. I had to wear 4 inches heels!!

If your waist is less than 26, these pants may be too big on you.

In below pictures, the heather gray has NOT been washed but the pitch black went through one wash. The fabric looks and feels better after going through one wash. I decided to keep them and plan on getting both hemmed.

My next pair(s) will definitely be the Editor.

I took my little girl to the Mall this Saturdy for her shoe's shopping since the ones she has are getting old and falling apart. My husband and I have been buying shoes for her from Stride Rite store which specializes in kiddies' shoes. They are pricey but there is no doubt about the quality. Since she is at the age where she is on her feet all the time, we want her to have good shoes that conform to her feet and provide good support. Boy, we spent $70 on two pairs of shoes for a 20 months old!! That's more than I spent on mine!!!

Is that little cowgirl boot adorable?!? We didn't buy that one for her. Maybe next time.

Okay my turn now - I was drooling over these sexy heels when I walked by. Boy oh boy, they are gorgeous but I had to say goodbey darling because they are 5 - 6 inches tall!! Crazy!!! I will definately kill my back walking in these shoes. What the heck is going on with shoes these days? The heels are ridiculously and incredibly HIGH. If only there were about 2 - 3 inches, I may suffice.

Next, we went to Toy R Us, I wanted to buy a slide for my little girl. She gets to become more adventurous now so I thought she may enjoy it. I just can't help myself checking out some other toys and was amazed with these toys for girls. My goodness, there is a hair salon set, a FABULOUS dress up trunk. C'mon people, it is for a little girl. I don't want to hear my girl walking around the house saying fabulous all day long. My goodness. That little dress up trunk is for 3+.

Today, Forever21 goes big and bold at the Mall in my area. There used to be a store inside the mall but today they had the ENTIRE building to itself. This is like a Forever21 empire! It is a gigantic building in the same mall complext and today is the grand opening (which I didn't know). I am not sure how many floors this building has but Forever21 fans in my area can go crazy shopping here all day long. It offers all lines (Love21, Faith21, Heritage1981, full line of accessories and so on). This is a place for you my dear Collete of Statements in Fashion

They are in the new building, new store, new floor plan but one thing that will never change is loud and annoying music. I walked in and out in less than 5 minutes.
