Vanity Fair Attempts Recession-Proofing of Socialites, Makes Mockery Of Itself
|
|
Vanity Fair is one of those magazines I like in theory because a visually pleasing, reasonably well-written melange of culture, style and current events appeals to me in theory. In reality, it usually proves a mishmash of things I don’t care about, like Jessica Simpson’s weight and who got the short end of Brooke Astor’s

Gal Pal Gurus: Mimi’s Sun Garb
|
|
My girlfriends from boarding school and I were never overly concerned with the dress code policy, which is to say we all had our own special way of pushing the envelope. For my jock buds, this meant pairing khakis with wifebeaters and bandannas (What dude? It’s not like I’m wearing jeans); for me, it meant

Ridiculously Fun Party, Ridiculously Fun Outfit
|
|
I wore this outfit to a phenomenal shitshow of a Brooklyn backyard soiree last weekend. (I had my doubts about its fabulosity before leaving my apartment that evening, and only mustered the cojones to go for it by Not Giving a Shit). Said outfit ended up being a big hit with my inebriated (albeit

Save Your Soles From A New York Summer
|
|
Living in New York prompts certain involuntary changes in one’s character; you walk faster, you ignore anyone not in your direct line of sight; you develop a glare nastier than mace to ward off the sleazebags who Hey Baby you on your way home. Also, you don’t leave the house without hand sanitizer. Ever.
While the

Happy Jumpers Day
|
|
When I gave the Forever 21 Jumpsuit pictured to Mom for Mother’s Day, the scenario played out exactly as I’d anticipated.
Mom: What is this?
Me: It’s a jumpsuit.
Mom: Is there a reason you left the pricetag on?
Me: Yes. I wanted you to see how cheap it was.
Mom: Oy. May I ask why?

A Low Blow To High Fashion
|
|
The first (and only) time I saw Signs (i.e. the subpar M. Night Shyamalan effort, not a religious experience or whatever) I freaked out about the idea of the alien for most of the movie - What’s it going to be like, what’s it going to look like, will it speak?! But at the end,

So Not Above It: Kmart
|
|
When you’re the product of a sartorially spoiled upbringing, you tend to think of yourself as above stores of the obviously-budget ilk. The first time I set foot in a Kmart was two years ago - even then, it was only to buy cleaning products and paper towels in bulk. I knew they sold women’s

Alexander McQueen For Target: At 50% Off, It’s Still Not For Me
|
|
Guess what happens when you screw with people’s expectations? People get disappointed. People get angry. And disappointed, angry people aren’t going to shell out eighty bucks for something ‘designer-inspired’ if more budget-friendly options abound one rack away.
So ended the tragic tale of the Alexander McQueen for Target line. Last week, Madison Avenue Spy noted that,

The Mindless Shitshow That Is The Fashion Show
|
|
As a frequent watcher of all things Bravo TV, I’ve come to appreciate the brilliance of certain programs. I’m referring, of course, to The Real Housewives series - a franchise that gives us the small screen equivalent of a car wreck (a Mack Truck pile-up, in the case of New Jersey), and allows us rubberneck

Sharesies! Serious Newbie Skills
|
|
This past weekend, I had the pleasure of receiving the following email:
Subject: Thank you.
I’ve been reading your blog for a while, but foolishly not quite following your philosophy. Today I did. I went to Value Village and saw things like like a Ella Moss shirt for $7, and a Joie skirt also for $7. Unfortunately
