Maybe this Abbey Dawn showcase should of had some rethinking;

Okay so, after seeing the new Abbey Dawn collection. I have to say, I was quite dissapointed. Hell, I was a little dissapointed in Avril Lavinge. I mean, some of the things I've seen her wear are pretty cute. I expected this line to be really cute. I mean, I clicked on the topic when I got home. Saw the first picture and I expected some really cute stuff. But further into the gallery, I went from this =] to this =/. I really don't know. I can pick out a few things that are pretty cute. But most of the things looked pretty cheap & tacky in my opinion. Let alone, not so fresh. I don't know, maybe it was just how the showcase was set up. A lot of the comment were quite negative. If the models were dressed differently, I would probably give in a little. Some outfits stood out to me.

Like these...

I don't really know what color that shirt is. It looks like its yellow. Or maybe a light green. But the purse is too loud and its clashing with the color of the top. In my opinion, thats not good. I'm not even sure if the purse is part of the collection. Instead of using this cheap-looking purse, maybe this will look better...

I think this studded bag I found or any studded bag would work with this outfit. It fits into Avril's style and gives out that rocker vibe. And forgot to mention it looks classy. I also think it looks great with the look too. Cool, classy and in its special way, laidback.

Okay so, this outfit is screaming tacky & cheep. Starting from top to bottom, I would say the hat needs to go. Nuff said. I'm guessing the shirt is part of the line. But whatever the belt thing is, has to go. It looks like someone took a tie and used it as a belt. It dosen't look very appealing. Nor do the boots with this. I think this would look appealing if...

Instead of the plain black sweater:

The lepoard hoodie by Abbey Dawn could work or this Grey Zebra Striped hoodie from www.altwearuk.com. I think you could be more focused on the hoodies than the shirt, but they both go great together.

Instead of the tie belt:

Instead of the odd tie belt, maybe a sequin blet would be more appealing. Avril has quite a girl side nowadays. And I think she has a thing for shiny, sparkling things. I think sequins will definately give off the girliness. If I had to choose one of these belts with the outfit, I would say the black one. I can't really decide what goes with light pink.

Instead of the hat:

This fedora from Hot Topic would look much better.

If you want to stay on my good side, don't ever wear pink & purple around me. I CANNOT even stress on how much the two colors together look tacky.

Instead of the pink shirt:

This cute shirt from Hot Topic would look hella cute. :3

Instead of the pink necklace:

This studded necklace from Abbey Dawn wouldn't look too shabby at all.

This outfit isn't half bad at all. The only thing that should be changed is the "doll socks".

Instead of the "Doll Socks":

These lace tights will give the outfit a classy touch.

This outfit to me is completly boring. Plain blue denim is just an insult when it vcomes to fun pattern shirts like that.

Instead of the blue denim:

These zipper skinny jeans from Hot Topic will be more complimenting.

Now don't even get me wrong, I love Avril Lavinge. I think her style is really cute. Is just her showcase for this collection dissapointed me and it received a lot of negative comments. I think I have to blame the setup of outfits for negative attention. All I'm saying is that it could of used a little bit of tweaking. Abbey Dawn isn't even that bad either. Just a few things here and there to throw in with an outfit.

Now that I'm speaking of runways, I'm excited about Gwen Stefani's new L.A.M.B collection.

The acid washed jeans are something that I'm excited about. =]
