I Would Say You Are Beautiful, But I Am Deeply Concerned Your Head Will Explode And Debris Will Fall On The People Around You

Emily Lynn Rubin (Sister)

This surprising cheerful girl not only seems to have a little A LOT of liquid confidence, but she also brightens up the city on a seemingly muggy day. For the last 20 years of my life, I have never experienced this high a level of sheer happiness, or BAC level for that matter (Emily I know you are going to read this, but for your sake and the sake of my professor I will not include last year’s memorable experience after you hit the town of Mount Kisco and went to O’Connor’s Pub with Peter Cook) in my 24-year-old middle sister, Emily. She is wearing a tri-color chiffon tank dress, gold hammered hoop earrings, and carved wooden bangles with gold trimming (which are MINE!!!!).  The dress has no fastening and the fabric has some give to it, making it easy to take on or off. The combination of lime green, steel/sky blue, and a fuchsia/magenta mix, is not typically seen unless one is out soaking up rays—wearing a floppy sunhat—reading the latest addition to the Oprah Winfrey Book Club at the Ritz Carlton in Palm Beach. But as tan as Emily is, she definitely is not reading A Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. Sorry Oprah.  Can’t Hardly Wait, what a fantastic movie. Every girl wanted to be Amanda Beckett (played by Jennifer Love Hewitt), especially in the scene where she walks into that party, and everyone stops what they’re doing, all attention on her. Whether it was because of the recent news that Amanda’s boyfriend dumped her, or just her beauty—no one stops staring at her. This scene is where my chaotic imagination ventures when I look at this picture.  Her glowing happiness and the vibrancy of her dress would yield the busy streets of New York City.  Walking to the beat of her own drum line (Nick Cannon included, OF COURSE) Emily seems completely free of any worries and fears and is above it all (figuratively, and literally); however, she is not oblivious, she is in control.  Although I personally was not initially attracted to this dress, I must admit I have definitely tried it on since my sister wore it.  As much as I love Jessica (oldest sister, last blog), Emily has always been the “cool” one in my eyes. This does not mean that we always got along, but it does mean I have looked up to her ever since I started biting my nails, which was only because she bit her nails so it must have been the “cool” thing to do…(thanks for that habit Emily)…

Sister-Sister, Own Style Own Time

 Sister (Jessica Rubin) and Friend

Jessica is wearing black distressed skinny jeans, brown leather jacket, black pashmina scarf (100% cashmere), white cotton v-neck t-shirt, a grey hooded cotton sweatshirt, black and gold Ray-Ban aviators, and of course in hand her Blackberry phone. This picture takes place in Ithaca, NY at Cornell University for the annual concert on campus.  Besides the obvious give-away with the red solo cup, her outfit is not only for comfort and the relaxed college environment and adventures she will be doing that day, but it is also a very reasonable choice for the somber weather in Ithaca. Knowing my sister, I can say without a doubt she is trying to accomplish the whole “look-at-me-I’m-so-put-together-and-I-just-threw-this-together” look, and personally I think she did a good job. Don’t mean to toot my own horn but as much as I love her, I know that she got this outfit from either me, or my other sister Emily….so I guess TOOT TOOT. I know her whole “look-at-me-I’m-so-put-together-and-I-just-threw-this-together” look, WASN’T just thrown together. MY OH MY, as well as she shot this one out of the park; she most likely also put this outfit together the previous night. I know this for a fact because the last time I visited my sister in NYC, she planned her outfit the night before, along with pulling it out and laying it on the dresser INCLUDING her knickers as well as lining out her pills, with a glass next to them for easy access in the morning. So no matter what she does, she always looks “put-together” because she ALWAYS is!  It’s kinda hard not to be “put-together” when your nightly routine includes: dinner, washing dishes, showering, picking out tomorrow’s outfit, brushing your teeth, and going to bed. Jessica is a very good example of a person who always looks appropriate for her daily and nightly activities. Whether her outfit if for an ordinary day at work, lunch-in at a country club, or dinner for a friends birthday, she deserves a GOLD STAR for proper dress for any occasion.
