I’m Toxic! Fashion Kitty’s 5 Day Detox

Boots -Feel the Difference Detox 5 Day Plan Strawberry

Whenever I go into Target for one tiny thing (like paper towels) I end up walking out with a bag full of nonsense and not the thing i walked in for. This scenario happened to me on Sunday afternoon. I was browsing Targets fancy pants beauty isle when I saw this detox kit from Boots.

Seemed simple enough pour some strawberry potion into a quart of water, eat right (no dairy, no red meat, etc.), no drinking, no smoking, drink water throughout the day, and a little exercise won’t hurt either.

Since I already follow MOST of those rules (no need to discuss which ones) I figured why not? What’s $20 and a little clean living to me if it results in washing away my sins?

I am almost through with day 3 of the detox and I can feel the difference. Here is an update on how it’s going so far.

Day #1- Had to pee. A lot!

Day #2- Felt like garbage. I suppose all of the “nonsense” that was in my body was coming out. My head and my stomach were killing me. Oh and my hives (yes, I get hives I am a freak) were EVERYWHERE.

Day #3- Today was a hive free day (first day in months). Still peeing a lot but I feel good, like really good. I dropped 1lb as well but I am also on my Fashion Week Diet so the detox may or may not be related.

I am looking forward to day 3 and 4. I will update you all once the detox is complete.

Since I am detoxing, I am craving a few “toxic” materials but the only “toxic” thing I can have is a little Britney Spears. Here is a video from her Onyx tour where she is perform Toxic. Sit back and enjoy Britney in her prime!

FashionKitty's "whitehorsecouture" picks

Dear Fashion Kitty, little black dress help!

I’ve been looking for what I thought was a typical and easy to find dress but I cannot seem to find one that I like anywhere! I would like to find a strapless, preferably sweetheart neckline, mini dress with some lace going down the sides that would show some skin. If you have any idea where I could find a dress like that please let me know!!

Wow I have 2 Betsey Johnson tops that pretty much fit this description exactly but sadly no dresses. I searched around the web and came back empty handed. So, I would recommending finding a really cool strapless black dress (that’s easy), picking up some lace at fabric store (I like G-Street for great fabrics), and heading to a great tailor — you will have your perfect dress in a matter of days. Good luck!


Betsey Johnson Corset Dress in Black on sale for $134

Dear Fashion Kitty, little (non) black dress

I’m going to a BBQ for a friends birthday I am wearing a canary yellow dress. I’m usually one to wear all black so this is big for me. What color shoes would you suggest, I was thinking strappy gold, but I’m not sure. Attached is a picture of the dress. I hope you can help me out.

Since you are going to a BBQ I suggest going with something a little more natural than strappy gold sandals. There is no need to look like you are going out to dinner when you are really just downing hot dogs, ya know?

I would go with some fun wedges or espadrilles like these …

Betsey Johnson 'Forest' Sandal

These are Betsey Johnson shoes are a must! 4 1/2 inch heel. Cool cut-out on the heel. Adorable Mary Jane style strap. I can’t stand how much I love these.

I actually saw these at DSW last week for a little over $100 and something tells me that they will be in the clearance section soon. These would look great with your dress (there is another colorway that will match your yellow dress).

Stella McCartney Floral Ankle Strap Platform Sandals

If wedges aren’t your thing then I would go with these by Stella McCartney. The 5 inch heel is totally sexy, ankle strap will keep you nice and secure during your spring/summer BBQ antics. The colors will match everything too.

Oh and did I mention that they are on sale at Intermix? There is pair left in my size. I might have to workout the old AMEX once again.

Dear Fashion Kitty, Chuck Bass’ sweater vest

I’ve been hunting for the the sweater vest, that Chuck Bass wore in the season finale. Over the yellow dress shirt. While he is in his suite with Lydia Hearst-Shaw. Do you know where I can find one like it, or where I can find the exact thing?

Thank you so much! You’re my hero!

Hero ‘eh? Nice! Well, call me Super Kitty because here are some Chuck Bass worthy sweaters and below are some other Chuck Bass fashions for your viewing pleasure. I haven’t been able to track down the exact sweater but maybe one of my lovely readers can.

This on from Rykiel is almost identical to Chuck’s sweater vest.

The colors aren’t very exciting on this one by Ralph Lauren but it is still very “Chuck”.
Want to look like Chuck Bass? Follow my ThisNext list for the items he wears on the show.

Gossip Girl Fashion: The "Boys"

Dear Fashion Kitty, Gossip Girl bracelet

I was wondering if you could help me track down a bracelet seen on the season finale of Gossip Girl. The bracelet I am looking for was worn by Serena towards the end of the show during a conversation with Blair while she is packing.

The bracelet is basically a very thin thread or chain with a small charm attached … Serena is actually wearing two during the scene. It’s not very helpful, but this is the best picture I could find of it.


Well I can’t see a thing so I am just going to straight guess on this one. My first instinct says it a Hamsa bracelet — most likely in tan because I can’t envision Serena in red. Maybe it’s the Ettika Wishbone Bracelet ($50). Or it could be the Wrap Around Charm Bracelet ($40). It could even be a necklace by Dogeared, styled to be a bracelet.

As you can see, I am guessing. Anyone out there know the bracelet that Serena is wearing?

Dear Fashion Kitty, Cat’s dress

On July 24’s So You Think You Can Dance Cat Deeley wore a really pretty white Grecian dress. It was knee-length and had an asymmetrical over one shoulder sheer fabric, but was mainly a strapless dress. There was also a leafy detail on the waist. I’ve enclosed a picture, its not very good but if you could help me out in finding it that would be great.


I couldn’t find the exact dress but I did find a great alternative, just add a pin to the waist line and you are good to go!

The asymmetrical dress I found is by Keemia is $330 at Revolve Clothing and has the cut you are looking for, the sheer draped shoulder, and of course — the color is right.

Dear Fashion Kitty, Rihanna’s scarf

I love your blog and your GG fashion finds. I was wondering if you could help me find this scarf I saw Rihanna wearing?

Sunshine & Shadow- Silk Tie-dye scarf, pink

Thank you, thank you! The oversized tie-dye that scarf Rihanna is wearing is by Sushine & Shadow. You can purchase this scarf at Intermix for $125.

I love the color combination because it makes for the perfect tranisiton accessories for fall to winter. The burgundy is fall appropriate and the pink is perfect for summer.
