What KRISTOPHER Is...

Jimmyjane Ish K Is…

21.Aug.2008, 10:17 am

Wearing.

Actually, not yet.  A candle that does more than smoke cheap perfume for your home: you can pour the delish lychee and lapsang wax…

Wanting.

Jimmyjane’s elegant wit makes even marriage look good. A bridal gift set from me, to me, when I marry myself in a few years…

Hating.

Only because it’s distractingly good. I never got into vibes, then Ethan at Jimmyjane gifted me their version of the iconic Rabbit. Dangerous…



Half-Off Giuseppes K Is…

19.Aug.2008, 10:31 am

Wearing.

I have these in chrome. The patent’s disco doll, the T-strap Fitzgerald flapper, the whole shoe an extra 20% off with promocode “summer”…

Wanting.

Giuseppe crafts jewelry for your feet. Unlike lazy Loubies, these Giuseppes are good enough to make a gray T-shirt dress seem chic…

Hating.

A waste of Giuseppe’s genius. Dull gray suede that slips over your leg and falls flat. Completely craftless, the most blah boot …

Milk Does A Face Good. What K Is…

18.Aug.2008, 10:54 am

Wanting.

I’m rarely a sucker for brands, but I’ve become a whore for NARS. Everything is rich but minimalist, femme without being fussy. I’d love for them to make a housewife…

Wearing.

The best way to keep that hair big and sexy and messy while you’re on the go-go. What’s under your hair ought to be dirty, but not your actual locks…

Hating.

It’s not even really milk, and real milk is great for you. Can’t Stella Mac kill a just nursed baby cow and use the milk from its stomach for a wash? I’d pay  for that…

Rings K Is…

15.Aug.2008, 09:42 pm

Wanting.

A constellation of stones, so my future, Russian, billionaire first ex-husband understands my standards and aspirations. Relatedly, he’ll also be shown my closetful of toys…

Wearing.

…This in my dreams. A ring like this should be worn Starbucksing, worn everywhere, and you should imply it’s fake. To keep it your own private pleasure…

Hating.

It’s that “Bvlgari” ringing this ring: If I’m going to pay for advertising, I’d rather have jewelry branded KRISTOPHER DUKES .com. Better use of my money…

Marry Yourself. Diamond Rings Your K Is…

14.Aug.2008, 10:57 am

Wanting.

Bold but understated, elegant but fresh, unique without styling different for different’s sake. Plus that’s just a load of stones…

Wearing.

I’m more a Kristopher than a Krissy, I’m not that into jewelry, excepting “K”-stamped ish. Sometimes I forget how to spell my name…

Hating.

Sure, these “diamond” rings are amusing — just like wearing pigtails when you’re 20. Very, werry cute, let me get you a lollipop…

Recession Fashion. Bags for $500 or Less Your K Is…

13.Aug.2008, 03:20 pm

Wanting.

The clutch is a little too cutesy, but I love the double pockets, the simple symmetry that’s somehow quirky…

Wearing.

A bit of a blackhole, I’ve packed just this from Miami to Tokyo to Hong Kong, and, right now, San Francisco…

Hating.

This bag is very LA to me: so forever 15, it’s sticking its tongue out at you, then says, “JK”…

Dresses for Under $300 Your K Is…

12.Aug.2008, 10:01 am

Wanting.

Relaxing doesn’t mean sweats; wear something that’ll make someone want to sweat with you…

Wearing.

A basic cut lets you just enjoy the cashmere. Plus, clothing should be a background to your beauty…

Hating.

You’ve got to admire a company that makes people pay triple digits to serve as their ill-styled billboard…

Booties Your K Is…

11.Aug.2008, 10:10 am

Wanting.

Understated just to be bolder, elegant just to punk you, masculinely no-nonsense to just look more frilly and femme. The boot’s play against its heel is brilliant…

Wearing.

These booties are deadstock punk rock. An Italiano boyfriend gave these to me years ago, that perfect stiletto may be the highest point of our relationship…

Hating.

Ugly is the new hot. These shoes are a drop in the ocean of my belief we’re swimming into a new Dark Ages. That, and everyone pretending SJP doesn’t look like a dog…

What Your K Is…

08.Aug.2008, 09:21 pm

Watching.

I watched this twice; the story is brilliant. I’ve decided the director should leave his wife for me…

Reading.

Atlas Shrugged is a bible, but this is the best book by Rand. The characters are alive. And the sex is violent…

Hearing.

A smart blend of art and entertainment; like brain and body, the two should never really be divided…

/

25% Off Like Your Panties. What K Is…

07.Aug.2008, 11:14 am

Wearing.

Bold but easy chic. If I have to figure out how to wear something, I’m not wearing it…

Wanting.

This  playsuit offers the femininity of a slip dress without having to worry about a breeze…

The chastity belts of dresses

Hating.

For chicks who love bad modern art, hate their bodies, and think they’re above vibing sexy…
