Karl Lagerfeld is designing these helmets, I’m thinking about getting one for riding my bike. What do you think?

What is going on here??

From the Victoria Secret fashion show last night (which gets more and more ridiculous every year)…

Is this lady looking at me weird?

Today’s Roberto Cavalli blow-out sale is tacky to the max, but people still seem to be jumping on it. This thing looks like a bad upholstery cover – lucky for my couch, it’s sold out.

Louis Vuitton..

What do you mean?! How can you not like this?! (oh sarcasm, how i love you)
-
another fur fail
Emilily
Not to be gross, but I usually pull the little blonde hairs off my toes every time I do my toenails. So I don’t see the point in wearing sandles that make it look like your foot has run off and mated with a mountain goat.This is from the Jak & Jil blog, which I am really warming up to, and the fall Louis Vuitton collection, which is, in my amateur and clearly unsophisticated opinion, an abomination.

Review of Raw Minerals
Carmen
So I recently tried a free trial from glow.com (I am not linking it because no one should be visiting this site) for only $4.95! That is until 30 days go by and if you don’t read the fine print (i didn’t) then they charge you a whole lot more! I called and they are refunding me half – but its not good enough. Especially because their product sucks. And I’m not just saying that because I failed to read the fine print. I’m saying it because its the gosh darn truth. If you want your face to age 10 years right in front of your eyes then by all means cake on the Raw Minerals! They want you to believe that this 4 (four!!) step process of putting foundation on your face will make you glow like the airbrushed models in their ads. I’m not that much of a sucker ok, I live in reality, I know what photoshop is, but I thought I would try it. With each new layer I put on it was like the natural glow of my skin (yes, i have that) disappeared only to be replaced by a desert… a cakey, dry desert…on my face. And no, its not because I didn’t apply it right. I think any time you are required to put 4 layers of stuff on your face its not going to look good. I knew that already somewhere in the recesses of my brain, but now I know it for REAL!

confirming my suspicions...

…that Marc Jacobs is playing an evil joke on us all this season. -
Fashion week unfortunately has about as much impact on my life as a Canadian holiday
Emilily
Perhaps you’ve already seen this, but just in case, Marc Jacobs Spring 2010.
Honestly, I am not sure what is going on with about 90% of those outfits. I feel like the underwear-on-top-of-the-clothes look has been attempted a number of times before, and we can be fairly sure by now, it’s never going to look good. I do want to point out that, having purchased a fanny pack in the last year, I was clearly way ahead of the game on that trend!
Here’s one I like: Donna Karan. I suppose it means she is bit tame, but I would wear every single outfit in this show.
Finally, check out the first picture, here. Is it just me, or is there a trend towards giant, multi-colored feathered puffball clothing? And if so, why?

geez...
Carmen
This shirt would come in handy when I need to blow my nose. Only $728 for an extra large tissue! Thanks Dolce & Gabbana!

Whoa
Emilily
I have to hand it to the lady, it takes some work to make the refusal to wear pants one of the least shocking elements of your wardrobe. (Please note: in the far left, second row picture, those are red stilettos hanging from her ears.) I am not crazy about her music, but props for letting that freak flag fly.

huh?
Emilily
Something about Tom Ford fragrances has always intrigued me, although I have never been able to find one I like. Maybe this is why…the tagline for Tom Ford’s new perfume, Urban Musk: The fragrance of bare skin, in a downtown club, sweaty from the music and scented with . . . other body parts.
I’m sorry, but….ewww?

really?
Carmen
First, from Hautelook and Amrita Singh:
really?
Second (from Gilt): Marc Jacobs if you’re so cool why are you doing this?

Speaking of Gilt Fuse Failure...
Carmen
I don’t know if I can fault Gilt Fuse really, they are just the messenger. Its really Madison Harding that is the culprit here:

shoes shoes shoes
Emilily
Okay, I love converse, and I love a high heel…but please oh please, not at the
same time. I would normally say that any shoe could be improved with a bit of
height, but NOT athletic shoes. (For example, I would also say that any beverage
could be improved with a splash of champagne, EXCEPT coffee. See, there’s an
exception to every good rule.) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxx However, perhaps against my better judgment, I am still looking for an Adirondack
boot with a heel – just like the one here, but with a 3+ inch wedge or cuban heel, and preferably not made by UGG. Somehow, UGG boots in my mind represent a very poor attempt to class up those sweatpants you should never have worn out of the house. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
And lastly, the boots that for months I have been coveting and stalking and making up little love songs in honor of, the Frye Harness Boot in Crazy Horse. I love everything about them – the walkable heel, the color, the name of the color, and the Lonesome Dove-esque androgynous cowboy fantasies they inspire…

plastic shoes
Emilily
I cannot decide if I like these shoes or not, they’re on Gilt Groupe right now. I do love Vivienne Westwood, and jelly shoes bring back memories (ok, they bring back memories of being made fun of by some nasty sixth graders because my neon green jelly sandals did not match my home-made rainbow fairy costume, but jelly shoes are now super retro cool and those mean girls are probably fat and married to some knuckle-dragging mountain man and living in a double-wide in Orick, so there.) Anyways, do I love these or hate them?!?!
Plastic shoes?
-
No no no - wrong
Carmen
please make it stop
why?
Because the alternative is worse...

Places where fur is ok...
Carmen
Yes!
um, No.

Really?
Carmen
This is from Hautelook today… I’d say not so haute. -
Is this an evil joke?
Emilily
Apparently, this is the new (and completely incomprehensible) trend in denim: the high-rise skinny-slouchy jean.
Because skinny jeans, with their short tapered leg and unforgiving skin-tight fit, were just too flattering, now they make it look like your crotch starts mid-thigh. And in case your legs don’t look troll-like enough, they come in a cropped length.
