Well fellow Buffy Boarders, we're back....

For those of you newbies, who have yet to experience the spectacle that is Corma, get ready for a treat.

Corma has reunited to bring you a guide and answer your questions as to what's hot and what's not in 2005.

Before you go out on that big date, you might want to ask Corma if the outfit you have planned is "da bomb" or will just bomb with your date.

Sweating a celebrity? Corma will let you know if your celeb crush is scrumptious or scandalous...

So here it is, ready or not, the return of Corma!

I don't think I'd look good in any of these...although the kitten heels do sound appealing...😉

Oh sweetie I was talking shoes. 🙂

I don't think good jewelry ever goes out of style 😀

I don't know that much about jewelry, but all the women in my family have told me that gold jewelry is tacky.
 
Just a quick note to ask the lovely and knowledgable Corma about these shoes.....I love them, but I'm not sure if I sould slam down 80 bucks for them if they are ridiculously "NOT". I was just excited to find them in my size, really...But I do dearly love shoes, and these are calling out to me!

The Shoes!
 
I'll stick to my tennis shoes, boots and sandals.
As for gold jewelry, it's only tacky if you wear the chunky and fake stuff. And don't wear a lot of it at the same time.

Well I am not any part of the wonderful Corma but I DO consider myself to be pretty fab, and my advice sweetie is GET EM! 😀 😀

Thats what happens when i'm distracted and don't read properly 😉 As for shoes i'd never wear silver and gold, not a chance.
 
Bah I'll stick with my slightly worn out Vans. Might go completly emo (well more emo) soon and buy a pair of Converses.

Just had an amusing mental image of Coredelia and Comma as Trinny and Susannah (crimey how do you spell that name?).

nothing wrong with a bit of emo in a person! converse shoes are faboo
I like kitten heels but can't wear them, just not good with heels. I love my New Rocks, my wedges and of course my trusty Acupuncture trainers.
 
Yea I'm right there with ya on the heels... Not so much fun... But I'm all over the Ballet Flats... And people make fun of them... Pfft!
 
OMG! I LOVE them!!! Buy, Buy, Buy!!!! I think I may go get those too now!!!

Good gold jewelry is never tacky. 😛

If you can afford it though, platinum is the way to go. 🙂

I just got a Movado as an early birthday present from my boyfriend, I got it in two-tone so I can wear it everyday, no matter what precious metal I may be sporting for the day. A classic watch is a must and something that will never go out of style.

My advice of the day: If you want to buy a trendy timepiece, there's no need to shell out big bucks if its' just a current fad...

I love the green colour of those shoes, not sure if I can see me wearing them. Cute but i'm dangerous in flats nevermind heels.

Ah don't worry about other people's opinions -- they're probably the people with the flipped up collars and wanna-be-trendy-and-hip style.

I say be yourself, if you like it, wear it. Don't worry about whether it's in or not if you really like it.
 
Tastefully chosen and worn gold jewelry is perfectly fine.

I agree with the timepieces. If you want a watch, buy one that you can pretty much wear every day with every outfit. I also own a two-toned watch (silver and gold) to match my silver Tiffany bracelet and my gold rings. And I didn't pay that much for it.

*And most people will say to me, "Oh, you shouldn't wear that Tiffany bracelet anymore. It's out of style" And I say to them.... "Um, not wear my Tiffany bracelet that every female in my family has that I paid over two hundred dollars for? I think I'll continue to wear it, because it's a classic silver bracelet from Tiffany's. So, there." So, I also agree with the above statement that you should always wear what you feel comfortable in. What's important to you.

Now, those shoes, that were under scrutiny about wether they should be purchased.... YES! Those could turn out to be the essential summer shoe in your wardrobe this year.
 
Definately essential Steve Martin shoes... Honestly, I'm not the best "high heels walker", but I'd learn, just to wear those shoes 😛
