The stunning soy latte-drinking, Coco Chanel-loving Angeleno says one of the biggest perks of writing the three-year-old blog is that she can work in just underwear and stilettos 24/7. And eight days a week, she does just that, spending part of her time blogging about overpriced Italian platforms and the rest fighting Internet crime on 411-Spyware.com. Yes, it is possible to be a stylish, sexy geek.

Thanks for the love, love.

XXXO

Thanks to Carlota at Hautelook for the lovely quote.

Says Angeleno:

A sassy, brassy 24-year-old style blogger with a cult readership of hardcore shoppers and an unrivaled ability to pinpoint trends, anoint designers and disappoint publicists.

“She writes something that really interests people, and the brands know this, so they see out [her approval],” says Carlota Espinosa of private-sale site Hautelook.com.

I’m flattered, only now it’ll be harder to lie about my age.

Let’s pretend I already did.

Honesty about that sort of stuff is for feminists too ugly to marry rich.

Of course, I mean ugly on the inside.

Because that’s what happens to your heart if you pretend you’re above Botox.

Is fashion writing your first love?

My first love is writing, period. I decided to specialize in fashion because I always loved how you can manipulate people with your image.

And I figured fashion was a fluffy enough topic that I could poetically masturbate.

I’ve already got some comments:

Her answers are totally offensive, and I love it.

Thanks for having me, Trust Your Style.

And thank you lovelies for always reading.

XXXO,

“I see this as the Perez Hilton of handbag blogs… Pretty impressive global appeal.”

I’d tell you I’m humbled by my inclusion in their list, but if anything, Shiny Shiny’s love has only further inflated my ego.

But not to the point I’d forget to thank you lovelies for reading, for making it so I can string dirty words together from nine to nine, in trashy lingerie.

Once Oprah book clubs me, I’m buying you each a lap dance.

XXXO,
K

“Kristopher Dukes win[s] wide praise in the fashion world…”

Next up? Forbes’ list of chick billionaires.

Thanks always for reading. You’re making middle child dreams come true, here.

XXXO,

What are the most embarrassing items in your bag? (come on, we know you have more than one.)
I’m embarrassed that I only carry three condoms and no chocolate-flavored lube. I’m a fucking nun.

What is the newest addition to your bag? Do you love it? Or have buyer’s remorse?
That Tarte smoky eye kit that’s winking at you was a gift from your own Ben. As a veteran smoky eyer since before I was legal, I can create expensive-escort effects with a pot of black eyeshadow and my bare pinky, so I wasn’t sure I needed a kit. But I absolutely adore this. It’s perfect for when you stay the night somewhere. Like alone, in a hotel room, for an opposite-of-wet business trip. You know.

What product has been in your bag longer than one should admit? What keeps you from letting it go?
NOTHING HOW DARE YOU IMPLY THAT I AM IN DENIAL ABOUT ANYTHING I AM NOT NOT NOT NOT. NOT.

Thanks for the interview, WLB!

Q: Who are your style icons?
A: I’ve a thing for ’20s It girls—Clara Bow, Mia Farrow as Daisy in The Great Gatsby. I love what bobbed hair and loose, short dresses stood for—women in love with being in love with their lives, finding pleasure in S-E-X outside of making babies, and living independently.

Q: How would you describe your personal style?
A: Too-tall heels, flapper frocks, smoky eyes, glammy dead animals, and a soy latte, clutched.

Q: Which accessory or piece of clothing can you not live without?

A: That’s like asking Jay-Z to pick between cash, money, and hos, lovely. I’d have to say heels, though. I won’t like it, but you can put me in pants, you can take away my budding collection of fur, you can even wipe off my smoky eye—so long as you pass me some sunglasses—but I will not wear flats. I despise shoes that don’t have you watching your walk, poising your posture, straightening your stance.

My Japanese is loose like the Marc-y Marc Jacobs LBD you turned down, so I’ll take an educated guess that alongside glossy pics of Louis Vuitton, Dior, and Chanel platforms the characters read:

“Ooh la love.”

“So mignon.”

“… Soy latte.”
