Hmm, you mean in all of that idle time I had at work when I was a receptionist I could have been selling my work for $335 a necklace? We used to make paper clip chains to reach from the second floor to the first in order to haul paperwork back and forth. I guess I should've been making jewelry. Well, according to Maison Martin Margiela theirs IS worth that much. Perhaps it's the little tag, or the fact that it's made of sterling silver. In any case I say make your own.
Matching Paper Clip Chain Earrings $185
Matching Paper Clip Chain Bracelet $195
Ok, on first look this twist-front dress by BCBGMAXAZRIA isn't bad. BUT the longer I looked at it, the more irritated I got. The waistline is good for almost all figure types. The color and jersey fabric is great for fall. However, in the name of all that is holy, WHY did they make it look like you're getting a giant wedgie right in the front?
I just think that there are more flattering ways to drape fabric than this one for $198.
Shhhh, don't tell my husband, but I am completely head over heels for these shoes. Hopefully, he's going to like them on me, because there is no getting around the fact that I am GETTING these shoes.
Those metal heels are like something a spy would wear. A completely kick-ass girl spy...well, a completely unsubtle kick-ass girl spy. But who wants to blend in ALL of the time.
These croc-print leather booties with metal spiked heels are available from Donald J Pliner for $395. On the plus side his shoes are usually very comfortable. So I'll keep you posted on that. Let me know if you think I've gone out of my fashion-luvin' mind.
Remember school pictures? And no matter HOW hard you tried, you just ended up looking completely dorky? Or maybe that was just me. But this Juicy Couture Kelly Wool Plaid Blazer can help you get back to your inner dork for fall. Note how it makes your torso into one shapeless lump. And anyone with a chest at all - BEWARE, since that neckline is almost eating your head.
But it can go to school with you for only $448
Hmm Stella you are indeed creative, but I really don't want to learn how to walk all over again. And these remind me terribly of platformed shoes that Geshias would wear in order to keep their shoes and silks safe from the mud. I'm all for extra height, and USUALLY wedges give me some extra stability, but these Stella McCartney Wooden Wedge Pumps for $1,145 look like they're simply one step away from an ankle x-ray at the emergency room for me.
Attention Zac Posen - put down the DVD of Pretty in Pink, or Some Kind of Wonderful or whatever 80's movie it is you're watching and go back to making lovely updated yet vintage looking handbags. Because THIS, this linebacker shouldered prom dress that just needs some big back-combed hair to top it off, NEVER should come back again. It should stay in the back racks of the Goodwill store where it belongs.
But if YOU have to have it - Zac Posen's Reglisse Dress $2,300
A big theme this year in handbags is "industrial accents." In this case notice the carabiners attaching the handles to the handbag. And they don't mesh at all with the clasp hardware.
Hmm at this price point I'm really looking for something that doesn't look like it broke and I fixed it in my garage. Add the somewhat unfinished edges and I have an overall dislike for this bag even though the croc print is quite nice.
You'll find this handbag from Chloe in a variety of colors and sizes. This one is $2,200
Now I know that purple is a HUGE color for fall, and metallics are also still in style. But that doesn't mean that a combination of the two elements are necessarily a good thing. This poor Stephane Verdino handbag looks like it spent a litte too much time next to the nuclear reactor and is just about ready for Halloween. If it is actually reflective you could take it trick or treating but at $475 I would rather just buy a ton of great candy.
This metallic calfskin also comes in bronze which is slightly easier on the eyes.
Well unless you're positive you have NO hips and thighs at all, you probably shouldn't be wearing this wool & leather coat by Rick Owens. I always love to drape my most problematic features with the fabric that stands out from the rest of the garment.
Stella from Project Runway would love this. But then she wouldn't have to buy it for $3,265
And grab yourself a pair of Chloe's Odissea Ankle Boots - or the new Shoe Bootie as I'm not so affectionately calling them. Most of us do NOT want to draw attention to our feet. And we really don't want to make them look BIGGER than they actually are. If we did we could wear clown shoes. Perhaps that's coming for Spring.
But if you want these snatch them up for only $775
I freely admit to loving bright colors. And I have always admired Pucci prints even though some of them are liable to give me a seizure if I look at them too long. However, this....a BIG triangle over my lady parts? Who on earth thought this was a good idea? Like no one knows where it is? Apparently we need colorized road maps now. I suggest wearing it with an "I'm with stupid" t-shirt.
Pucci Color Block Skirt $885
Jeeze, and I thought it was bad last season when the Project Runway contestants stuffed all of their leftover fabric into their handbags. The challenge was to use ALL of the fabric they purchased. But this Prada Pizzo S Satchel is ACTIVELY seeking out fabric to chow down on. Perhaps your couch cushion is next.
It can be yours for $1995
These embellished stilletos were paired with the Les Chiffoniers PCV pants shown earlier. Overkill and so sad for these beautiful shoes. But can you tell that I spent my formative years in the '80s?
Shoes by Giuseppe Zanotti $795
Hmm, well these are definitely NOT office - friendly. And at $405 I think I would be better off shopping at my local Hot Topic store for a pair of PVC pants that don't have zippers that make it look like my rear is in my front.
