Worst Fashion Trends of 2008
Posted by Kori Ellis in Shopping, Style on December 20th, 2008
Don’t get me wrong, I loved some of the fashion trends from 2008, including ruffled blouses, skinny jeans and shooties. However, there are some trends that I don’t mind if I never see again.
High-waisted pants
Who decided these were attractive on anyone? If you wear high-waisted pants, you lose all your curves and femininity. Now, I’m not a fan of low-waisted jeans that create a muffin top and expose your crack when you lean over either. How about just “waisted” pants.
The maxi dress
Definitely Angelina Jolie’s fault for starting this trend but she had an excuse - she was pregnant. These billowy, long dresses are great if you want something comfy to lounge around in, but they shouldn’t be for every day wear. Fortunately, things are looking a lot more fitted for spring.
Knee-high gladiators
I’m not a big fan of gladiator sandals to begin with. So when they started getting higher and higher, I was disgusted. I hope was hoping they’d fade away as summer ended and we’d never see gladiators again. Unfortunately, many designers have churned out all new gladiator sandals for 2009.

What’s Up?
Posted by Kori Ellis in Life on November 2nd, 2008
I’m been writing (and blogging) professionally for several years, so it’s probably odd that I’ve never had a personal blog. There are several reasons for that - lack of time being probably the most prominent. However, I figured that it was about time. So here it is.
What will this blog be about? Who knows!? I think it will be a collection of things that interest me - sports opinions, shopping tips, and probably a few rants and funny anecdotes along the way.
If you are reading this, you probably know me. But if not, here’s just a few tidbits about my life.
I live in Texas with my husband and two dogs. My husband and I both work from home, so we spend 24 hours a day together. And unlike a lot of couples that “need a break” from each other, we actually prefer to be together all the time. We work in our home office (really the converted third bedroom) about four feet from each other.
I stay up really late at night and I don’t sleep much. This is probably unhealthy, but it’s what I do. My husband and I usually go to bed well after 5am.
I write, blog, edit and report on a variety of things. I cover the San Antonio Spurs for WOAI.com and a few other publications. I run a sports message board - SpursTalk.com. I am a Channel Editor at b5media - a fabulous network of blogs. I was the Sports Channel Editor up until recently when I became the Beauty & Style Channel and Technology Channel Editor as well.
Additionally, I write a few blogs for b5 - Shoe Blitz, Just A Formality, The Fantasy Kickoff, and Travel Product Guide (where I co-blog with Mary Jo).
I am also the guide to fashion Accessories for About.com. I have worked for the company for a couple years. I was formerly the guide to San Antonio before I switched to the Accesssories site. Don’t think I’m done yet… I also write for SheKnows.com as their Beauty & Style columnist, as well as contribute to their Food & Cooking channel. I blog about weddings for Bride.ca and Truly Wedding Blog. I also write about sports, travel, fashion, web development and a multitude of other subjects for various blogs, websites, magazines and newspapers.
Sounds like a lot, right? It definitely fills my time.
Alright, enough about me.
The Presidential election is two days away. Though Obama sometimes seems like a lock, I’m not so sure what people will actually do on election day. Who am I voting for? Well, it doesn’t really matter. I will only say that I’m not thrilled with either choice.
Happy Sunday!
