Wow

Typically when I hear the word “wow” I think of something positive; like “Wow, that’s cool” or “Wow, that’s fantastic news” how about “Wow! You bought a car!.” Pretty sure I don’t need to go on for you all to get this one.

However, today when I say “wow” it is because I can’t even draw together words to express how terrible Paris Hilton’s new music video is. “Wow- that’s NOT hot!” I refuse to link the video to this page, it may bring Fashion Kitty some bad karma or something.

Shall we break down the video (shouldn’t take long I promise)

1.)Visually– This is a softer version of the “special” movie
she put out. Just her looking at the camera constantly, groping a half naked
man, and being half naked herself

2.)Vocally- Apparently Paris Hilton thought since
Gwen Stefani was out on maternity leave, she could rip off her sound. Hilton’s
voice is clearly doctored up with a slew of sound machines; and she still
manages to sound bad. Bleck!

The Gift of Beauty

I am really eyebrow obsessed, one brow out of place and I freak! That’s why I love this new promotion from e.l.f. Free brow grooming kit with $25 purchase.

weekly promo

How can you manage to spend $25 on cosmetics when they are $1 a pop? Let me tell you… Its called giving! People!!! What is cuter than sticking a few e.l.f. cosmetics into a little flower pot and giving them out to the under appreciated in the office? Or how about grandma, wouldn’t she think you were the cutest?
They are also great things to stash in case of a friends forgotten birthday comes up and you are without gifts!

Its in the Bag!

Baby got her first designer bag this weekend!!




I went out on a mission to find the Marc by Marc Jacobs leather tote. When I showed up at Neimans ready to buy- they said they had it on the web but not in the store (grrrr) BUT they swore they saw it at Barney’s CO OP.



So I made a mad dash to Barney’s. To my horror- the bag was enormous. If you know me, I love a big ass bag- but this one was too big ass. I felt defeated. Until I saw Marc by Marc Jacobs eyelet hold all, just the right size, beautiful blackish/ blue leather. Perfection. (Try to ignore the ghetto fab pic I took with my sidekick, left the digital camera at home)


Vintage AFK Question

I have a closet and a half filled with clothes. Some of which I have not used for years, with the hope that I will fit into them again one day. What rule do you go by in terms of deciding when to throw something away? I imagine that you have tons of clothes. Some of which are “seasonal” or fads. Do you tend to throw the “fad-ish” items away first? Or do you keep it around in hopes that it will be fashionable again? It is just a bit difficult for me to throw something away. I guess because I attach certain memories or experiences to the piece of clothing. Anyways, is there a rule that you go by in determining what makes the cut?


It just so happens that I do have some rules (I need to follow them more closely, my closet is getting over crowded)

1.) Doesn’t fit….toss it!

  • If something is too big chances are you don’t really want to
    fit in it anymore. So toss it! If something is too small, it really needs to go
    too. It’s just going to taunt you. However! I do recommend keeping one piece
    that is small, makes you feel good after you have worked really hard to fit in
    it and you finally do.

2.) Designer…keep it!

  • If you have a designer piece you need to keep it. For one it is well made and will last. And second, it’s like a collector piece and if you aren’t a fashion freak like who thinks of
    it like that…Think of it like this, if you have the misfortune of having
    children you can always give it to them later and make them the coolest kid in
    the class.

3.) “Fads”…toss (usually)

  • When I buy fad pieces they are cheap and inexpensive anyway, so tossing isn’t so bad. Those that are workable into outfits that aren’t fad-ish. Keep em.

4.) Sentimental Pieces….

  • Give them away. Not to just anyone, give them to a friend or a relative. This
    way if you want to travel down memory lane, you can borrow it.

Who doesn't love a sale?

Nothing is more relaxing than shopping online. Where else can you sit around in your pajamas and shop for designer duds? I have been itching for a designer bag for quite some time (ummm…my whole life!) Well Neimans is having a sale and I am seeing a thing or two that I want. Drum roll please!

Marc by Marc Jacobs- $321

Marc Jacobs $700 something (compared to $1000 something)

For the love of Marc

Marc Jacobs is hands down my favorite designer. Anything and everything he touches makes me want to fork over my rent money and bow down. My man Marc is up for the CFDA Womenswear Designer of the Year award, and of course I want him to win:)



He was featured in a WWD pull out out Tuesday (which I just got today!) I just had to post this statement from Marc…

“The presentation is a form of entertainment. The clothes are shown in a
theatrical environment, which is the only time they ever are, because after that,
they are just shirts and skirts and blouses and dresses in a shop, and they take
on a completely different life. It’s become more interesting for me to
present them in a more elevated way or say something differently with them in a
show concept.”


It annoys me so much when people bash designer runway shows. You know- “Why is it so crazy, no one dresses like that!” People don’t seem to understand that fashion is far more than what you wear on your back, its a form of expression. Designers pour their little hearts out creating fabulous clothing. It doesn’t come from thin air, there is inspiration and hard work- they deserve their showcase and I deserve to watch and enjoy it. Okay- finished ranting.

Loopy over Louboutin

Move over Manolo! The man with the red sole is in town….

If you haven’t heard Christian Louboutin is the new ‘it’ shoe; you have definitely been sleeping under a rock. Every celeb under the sun is wearing these ultra sexy platform shoes and with prices in the $700 range you need to be a celebrity to afford them.

With any trend comes a slew of knock-offs! Steve Madden typically the first to take a crack at re-making the designer duds. But this season everyone is up to bat and it is just getting pitiful. With all the knock offs around it makes the real thing so less than special (which makes Fashion Kitty sad) Check out this list of knock off’s I am putting together and please feel free to add to the list in the comments section.
