Manolo Blahnik Poppy Heels

Manolo Blahnik Poppy Heels

What fun! How cheerful! In Nemain Marcus’s Spring Preview for Manolo Blahnik shoes, are these pink poppy-printed Slingback Mary Janes with peep toes. I think the best feature of these, even with their powers of anti-depression, is the green top-stitching. High design meets indie funkiness? Love it!

With a high high heel, these shoes cost $675, and right now Neiman Marcus .com has an offer that gives a free Blahnik sketch book with ...

Wish You were Here Thong - oh really?

Wish You were Here Thong - oh really?

I amusedly came across this “v” string from Victoria’s Secret last night, which depicts the phrase “wish you were here” (obviously on the front). That’s cute and saucy, huh? I love a good naughty symbolic panty!

If you get a kick out of the pair, you can purchase from victoriassecret.com for $5 for $25.

5 W Fashion Scoop - WWWD’s got the ‘Gossip Girl’ wardrobe down

Let’s take a break from shopping, wish listing, holiday weekend-ing, and get back to a little relaxing reading … about shopping! Well, clothes, but clothes you might want to buy. WhoWhatWearDaily.com is a hit of a new online fashion magazine, and blog, that scouts out designer names and gushes about celebrity trends.

Take this dish on ‘Gossip Girl’ gals. We see a composite of young, attractive potential-It girls who are just a tiny ...

Ya Move Across Country & Ya Miss Somethin’ Big: Kiss Me Stace featured in Harper’s Bazaar

Ya Move Across Country & Ya Miss Somethin’ Big: Kiss Me Stace featured in Harper’s Bazaar

Well, back in October, when I was mid-move down the other end of the country, Kiss Me Stace was quoted, in the first paragraph of a Harper’s Bazaar fashion blog review article.

Before my reaction(s), here’s their quote:

Everyone’s a Fashion Critic

When it comes to style these days, everybody’s a know-it-all. But do their opinions really matter?

By Robin Ghivan ...

It’s THAT time, your costume didn’t work out…

It’s THAT time, your costume didn’t work out…

What happens when we’re a week away from Halloween and/or costume parties and our costume’s arrived, but when we try it on, it’s a trainwreck?

This happened to me. I wanted to be a ball of yarn. I got a red yarn wig. Check. Beautiful. And I had the “genius” idea of (somehow, still not sure how - eep lol) wrapping an inflatable pumpkin costume with red yarn to make me the skein.

Well, I’m petite, which might have caused a problem. ...

Time is Now an Issue - A Costume Shop Review

Time is Now an Issue - A Costume Shop Review

This is a sponsored, 100% honest review of HalloweenExpress.com. Learn more about paid reviews at ReviewMe.com.

HalloweenExpress.com has a large variety of costumes for any occasion, plus wigs, makeup, props and some pet costumes. It doesn’t, however, offer enough selection for everybody.

Their pet selection is tiny, and offers absolutely nothing for the fashionista doggie or cats at all. That’s my major gripe, but the shop also is missing ...

Vera Wang?

Vera Wang?

 What happened to Vera Wang’s skills as a top wedding gown designer? Her entire collection for Spring/Summer 2008 is a bunch of *Sad Sacks*! It’s like “burlap chic” with better fabrics but equally bad colours, oh and sans chic. *Snort* Puh-leaze! Next!

Global Warming Speeding up Fashion Seasons?

Global Warming Speeding up Fashion Seasons?

This year global warming may cause thinking ahead to Fall Fashion to become even more important than some fashionistas may realize. This is important for both buyers and small-run independent sellers and designers who create or put out supply closer to the “need” date. Why? Why when one would think Summer should last longer, with “warming”? Well, global warming is more complicated than it sounds, and we all see effects from it that we may not, or perhaps no one ...

This camera takes OFF 10 pounds!

This camera takes OFF 10 pounds!

Only with HP digital cameras, now photo shooting yourself won’t make you want to do the real thing. Instead of adding 10 pounds (which I swear happens), certain digicams by HP can actually reverse the effect. You don’t have to be a professional photographer, and no—not even a skilled graphic artist, to produce this *wow* effect. (And I can’t even do it that well or easily as a graphic designer, myself!)

It’s not done through a magic ...

Ella Made Weekly Item: Knit Coin Purselet!

Ella Made Weekly Item: Knit Coin Purselet!

I’ve been putting off debuting my shop and my own items, thinking, “I’m not ready!” and “I want the optimal day/time/exposure!” Oh bah. Stop procrastinating. My readers need to see this! I’m going to feature one of my items every week, so as not to over do it.

My designer company name is Milly & Nans, and I stress everything yarn, knitting and crochet accessories. I have lots of jewelry made and eventually will have lots of great purses.

Vote: Louis Vuitton Dentelle - Elegant or Glorified Trash?

Vote: Louis Vuitton Dentelle - Elegant or Glorified Trash?

The “Dentelle” floral lacing on Louis Vuitton’s new Speedy is kind of beautiful, until it’s embroidered onto the busy LV monogram pattern both the company and fans are addicted to.

Do I like it? As a fan, but not an obsesser, I can be fair. And personally, I say put it on a light canvas, like the designer’s Damier Azur, and it could really rock. Of course, putting it on a more “blank” canvas, like a black suede - would truly ...

What will a Spice Girls 2007 Show LOOK LIKE?

What will a Spice Girls 2007 Show LOOK LIKE?

The Spice Girls are back for a (teeny tiny: read very few cities) “world” tour and I’m excited. Or I was until I came to this thought: the Spice Girls were interesting partly because of their individuality and fun looks. Sure, it was all so fashionably criminal to the capitol extent, but somehow deliciously appealing. (Or well hey, I was about 15, so what can I say.)

Here is what the “girls” look like now: UPGRADE = absolutely (except for Posh, ...
