1. Obsessed (Pronounced: OB-SESSSSSSSSSED)
As fashion enthusiasts, we love to be dramatic. Case in point: I am OBSESSED with those shoes, we are ob-sesssssssed with Chanel's pearl choker (but really, we are). The sad truth is you can't really be obsessed with every shoe, bag, designer or fashion collection in the world.
2. Chic
Can someone please invent a new synonym for chic? Somehow this word finds its way into every sentence and phrase that leaves our mouth. It's not our fault, it's just that no other word can sum it up quite like chic. Sidenote: 'chic to the next lev' is not an adequate synonynm for chic.
3. I die (Variations include: dying, dead, SO DEAD)We credit this one to Rachel Zoe, who died many times over Louis Vuitton, Oscar de la Renta and Chanel while filming The Rachel Zoe Project. Fashion people have varied how this one is said— 'I am DYING for that Céline', 'I DIE for the new Marc Jacobs collection', 'That Givenchy is so good, I am DEAD.' The good news is we don't think a fashion show has caused any actual deaths yet.
4. That's major (Variations include: MAJ, So major, SO MAJ)
Those sunnies are major. That dress is major. Your eyebrows look so major. EVERYTHING IS SO MAJ.
5. ____ Is The New Black
Can we just come to the conclusion that nothing will ever be the new black? Not even orange.
6. Totes Amaze
Example: "Oh my god, your bangs look totes amaze." The only totes we should be talking about are the ones we're packing to the Hamptons next weekend. Also, is the word amazing really that long?
7. That bag is EVERYTHING
The bag is probably really good, but is it really everything in the entire world?
8. So referential
We get it—fashion always repeats itself.
9. Beyond
That outfit is so BEYOND. Beyond what, we're not sure but take it as a compliment.
