I like your style…

Cheryl Cole!

in Alice + Olivia

** I first created this post over a year ago and since then a lot of the images have become broken so I decided to fix some and add more because this seemed to be a crowd favorite. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it off of the top posts list to the left. Enjoy!

Song of the Day

Cheryl Cole – Parachute

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZE6RankIs4]

You will either love or hate this song. You’ll love it because it’s Cheryl Cole and apparently my stats tell me that you are a fan because the “I Like Your Style” feature post on her is always on top. You like her because she’s in the group Girls Aloud and is a judge on X-Factor, a show only in the UK and not… in America. Or you sympathize w/ her cause her husband Ashley Cole is a douche and cheated on her once again and she’s left him basically.

Reasons why you won’t like this song: The lyrics are clichey and when you listen to it you are reminded of those cheesy pop songs that people behind movies make up. You know they’re the ones in which the movie’s synopsis is about a budding pop star, someone that wants to make it into the music business, someone one that used to be in the music business and now wants a comeback. Seriously, it’s one of those. But other than that it’s very catchy.
