If you have opened any fall fashion magazine you have surely seen that Vivienne Westwood will have a collection at Nine West. I went through many emotions. First disgust, the designers offered their items at lower cost stores is getting old. Then curiosity, I LOVE Vivienne Westwood- not only is it hard to find it is also expensive. I let my curiosity take me the Nine West website and my feelings went back to stage 1… Disgust!

What the hell…Who is paying $500 for a pair if shoes at NINE WEST! I have no problem spending $500 at Neimans and Saks, but damn Nine West. This operation is going to flop- What do you all think?

As I wrap up my life in Washington, DC there is a lot I have to leave behind. Friends and family- that’s a given. But the people/places/ things I spend the most time with are my store owners, shops, boutiques, and sweaters- are things that are just as tough to leave behind.

Yesterday I said my goodbye to my favorite vintage store- heck its muy favorite store period the end. I just didn’t want to leave, I wanted to take the whole place with me… I of course eventually had to go (not without a bag full of stuff).

Here is what I got (for under $100)

1. Cropped black boxy blazer with oversized buttons
2. Yellow and Black Zebra print Echo Scarf
3. Blue Versace-esque scarf
4. Vintage Gucci purse

Yep you read correctly under $100. Oh Eclectic Threads– I will miss you most of all.

Chloe, you have done it again. Look at these beautiful, sexy, gorgeous boots. Too bad the are $1155.00 (not quite in the budget) But can’t a girl dream…maybe I need to start a Chloe boots fund, who am I kidding I have no idea how to save.

You must check out Fashion Tribes they have rolled the all new Fashion Tribes magazines. Guess who is a Downtown Doll? Uh huh… Fashion Kitty! Check it out.

It is no secret that I love Lindsay Lohan. I was pysched to see her in the mega issue of Elle… I think that her gloves and fake eyelashes kick ass.

Airports are great for watching freaks with bad fashion. On my LONG trip to Portland last night, I saw some too funny fashion mishaps (especially in my Las Vegas layover)

Shame my camera was not in my carry on bag. Here is a little recap of some awfulness that I saw…

1. Man with elastic jeans- Thats right, the leg opening on his pants were elastic. It was as if McHammer designed his own line of jeans. To make matters worse, they were too short and exposed his white tube socks and cheap white running shoes.
2. Goldie- Not matter if it is in a casino or the airport, people in Las Vegas strongly believe the more flash the better. “Goldie” not only wore all gold, she accessorized with a gold woven bag and gold hoop earrings. I couldn’t help but to stare.
3. Stretchy Pants- Las Vegas and stretchy pants seem to go hand in hand. Just because leggings are technically in style DOES NOT mean you can wear them with white slouch socks and keds.

In addition to the clear messes, I have noticed that skinny jeans have run rampant across the US. If you are not skinny, PLEASE do not wear skinny jeans. You will be doing yourself and many others a huge favor.

Nothing better to get you through a long work week-are some guilty pleasures. For this edition of Have you seen this Crap? We will dive into my guiltiest pleasure… Flavor of Love on VH1.

This show is one of the worst, and when I say worst- I mean the best! The trashy women on that show are something else (especially Somethin) Although so far I thoroughly believe season 1 was better, season 2 packs a powerful punch. Sure this season seems a bit, well…Staged. What can you do it damn entertaining.

What does this have to do with fashion? Not much, but I can tie anything to fashion. If you really want to know what NOT to wear, or what will NOT flatter your body. Check out Flavor of Love on VH1.

Not sure why I am so drawn to babydoll dresses, I don’t even wear them… I think when you have a nice rack, a babydoll dresses can make you look fat or like you are trying to hide something. BUT it doesn’t stop me from looking. This is adorable, if I did wear babydoll dresses I would wear this to a Christmas party in a heartbeat. Heck this is so cute I may just get over it and buy it.

Bijou Boutique has a new line out called Rebellious, and I am lovin’ it. It is the perfect combination of naughy and nice (and nice and affordable at $65)

Day 2 of LA: Another wild apartment goose chase. It’s time to call in the professionals, I need a rental agent. Doing this on my own is soooo not working. After another unsuccessful hunt, I decided to better aquaint myself with my new home town.

I drove and drove, got lost a few times and then was found on Robertson (ya know where the stars shop) Its odd shopping in the places I shop on daily via the web. I went into Kitson, Lisa Kline, Madison, Ted Baker, and a few others. Kitson was a ZOO, people are just crammed in there. I managed to get out with out any cuts and bruises (and a pair of these funky LAMB boots)
