The March PikaProject has arrived, and the newest issue of the zine is out too! Some of my favorites this month include: Sim Sima, Christine Berrie, and Valerie Pensworth. And check out the cover art by illustrator Sally Faulkner. Way to go Amy- another great Pikaland Project!

Harem Pants from Anthropologie
Yesterday’s Love/Hate post sparked an interesting conversation, and so I thought I would bring Love/Hate back today on something that I have a pretty strong opinion about: the Harem Pants from Anthro. That’s right ladies, you too can look like Jasmine from Disney’s Aladdin for just under $180?!
I normally don’t write anything negative on this blog, but these were just too much for me. They may look flattering on the model, but I can’t get passed the baggy MC Hammer look. And I usually love Anthropologie. What do you think? Would you wear these?
