Ralph Lauren Bags On Sale K Is…

13.Nov.2008
Ralph Lauren Bag On Sale, Ricky Clutch

Wanting

Ralph Lauren is one of those brands that creates a complete world. This world is populated by women who would carry this bag and have matching red lipstick that’d end up on the pool boy’s pole, without smearing. Classy. And 40% off…

Ralph Lauren Bag On Sale

Wearing

A little bit country club, a little bit rock n’ roll, and a lotta bit Cracker Jap, just like me. Best accessorized with a peace sign in front of the Eiffel Tower in Vegas…

Ralph Lauren Bag On Sale, Spectator

Hating

I’m a huge fan of WASPs, but something about this tarlatan bag is all sting, without being sharp…



Norma Kamali One-Pieces K Is…

12.Nov.2008
Norma Kamali One-Piece

Wanting

Leave the bizarre bikinis and mangled monokinis to chicks who tell dudes they kissed a girl and liked it. Girl-on-girl action is so top 40 radio. The confident bright white of an unknown reputation is more interesting…

Norma Kamali One-Piece

Wearing

Old Hollywood glamour trimmed into clean, crisp lines. I’ve always hated bikinis — the only reason strangers should know how you look naked is because you got paid. Leave something to a dude’s imagination. Like his dream that you have Beyonce’s abs, not her thighs…

Norma Kamali One-Piece

Hating

Sex that’s easy but dysfunctional, appeal that’s cheap but overpriced… This is not how I like Norma Kamali one-pieces, but were I a man, it’s how I’d prefer women…



Alice + Olivia Dresses K Is…

05.Nov.2008
Alice + Olivia dress, sequined

Wanting

This Alice + Olivia dress does what a frock is supposed to: all shimmering champagne sequins, it makes your bod simply more beautiful…

Alice + Olivia dress, knot back

Wearing

I bought this in plain purple in Vegas. I’d been wandering around in the morning, in a Lurex-laced mini dress, and somehow this seemed less Morning After. If this explains anything, I also wear eyebrow gel to yoga…

Alice + Olivia dress, fringed

Hating

Like sex, people make so much drama out of fashion without really taking it seriously. Do you really want to look like a cheap extra from The Great Gatsby? And did you really need to ménage à million and Facebook it…




Superfine Jackets K Is…

03.Nov.2008
Superfine jackets

Wanting

Check the lush lamb collar and buttery leather. A shearling coat is classic, but this is beyond. The only way this Superfine jacket would be better was if the animal it was made of was endangered…

Superfine jacket

Wearing

Normally, I don’t do cardigans–they’re typically cute, sloppy, and leave you lukewarm. Like sex with a housewife. But that basket-weave knit got me…

Superfine jacket

Hating

Half a grand for a dull black blazer? Only men are supposed to pay that much money to be bored, and at least when they pick up the tab at the end of the night, after listening about a cat and cutting carbs, they get laid…

Devi Kroell Clutches K Is…

23.Oct.2008

Wanting.

This bag’s the ideal chick: bold sans drama, hard not harsh, feminine but unfussy. It also only fits a condom, not any games. Your boy loves me…

Wearing.

I love that natural wood, set straight with geometric crystals. Classic Kroell, on sale. If I was okay with baby weight, I’d hand this down to a daughter…

Hating.

With its smattering of rhinestones, this clutch reminds me of when you made out with your best girlfriend in Vegas — a gorgeous mess…





Giuseppe Booties K Is..

21.Oct.2008

Wanting.

Maybe when I’m plastic, divorced, and old (say, 25) I’ll give into the elegance of Louboutin. Till then, I’m all over Giuseppe’s quirky sex…

Wearing.

Simple, sculptural, and 52% off. Since they don’t come in other colors, buy three pairs. You’ll wear them forever. Or at least until you’re 25…

Hating.

Are they pumps? Are they boots? Are they hot? Simply since I ponder them a la Carrie from Monogamy and the City, I hate these…

Sang-A Bags K Is…

11.Oct.2008

Wanting.

It’s more than a Birkin, but a little less than a down payment on a flat. That crackly croc has got me…

Wearing.

I love being a human: I weigh 69 lbs. but I punch a computer key, and I’ve a dead anaconda in my clutches…

Hating.

The patchwork mink is a little fash victim/Beyonce to me, but given the choice, I’d take it. Like her ass…



Over-the-Knee Boots K Is…

11.Oct.2008

Wanting.

Those metallic stripes aren’t the sexiest thing — it’s the practical elastic band behind the knee, that keeps these up. Unlikely sexiness, much like Pyrex…

Wearing.

Check that shearling trim, buckle, and rubber sole. I love faux practical things, like these over-the-knee boots. And organized religion, and housewives…

Hating.

At $1,000 for these over-the-knee boots, I can’t think of a worst investment. Actually, there’s your future baby’s college fund, and the entire stock market…
