Favorite Spring Things: Peonies!

UGLY shoe roundup: The Devil Wears Prada

Prada Espadrille Thong Wedge $390

Prada Cork Platform Thong: $390

Oh, Neiman Marcus. On the plus side, for $390, you can have a bulletin board for shoes. Keep some thumb tacks in your purse, and you'll never lose a shopping list again.

ICON: Audrey Hepburn

Denim-on-denim: Thoughts?

My brother calls this a "Canadian tuxedo." Throw on a pair of clogs and omg it's 1993.

French Macaroons: How sweet!

The Year of the Yeti? Modern day prophets?

First Chanel debuts their Yeti inspired collection. Now I find these boots by KORS Michael Kors on Gilt Group on sale for $99. Hmmm. Either this is an emerging trend (Yeti is the new black?), or we should be looking to the world of fashion for signs of a climate-change-driven apocalypse. Whatever happened to frogs and locusts?

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present: THE.BEST.STAIRCASE.EVER.

It's a staircase. It's a bookshelf. It marries intellect and function, style and practicality. Simply put: AWESOME.

An open letter to Who What Wear daily

Dear Hillary and Katherine,

Please stop trying to make clogs happen.

XOXO,

Good Taste

And about the bidet...

Snice: twice as nice? Karl sure thinks so...

File this under "unnecessarily lavish expenditures:" Last year, for his Spring 2010 line, Karl Lagerfeld took us down on the farm, threw some hay on a stage and tried to convince us clogs were cool. Meanwhile, somewhere, Coco Chanel rolled over in her grave and wept softly into her belted cardigan. For Fall 2010, Lagerfeld reportedly imported a massive snow-ice conglomerate to serve as centerpiece for this year's apparently Yeti-inspired collection. Faux-fur pants and boots were ruined as models splish-splashed around the runway. AND THIS WAS THE RTW LINE! I'm sorry, but if a pair of pants can make Coco Rocha look like she's acquired the thighs of a gymnast, then what's an average girl to do?

Advertising FAIL: Things that should not be made to resemble wicker

Double FAIL:

1) Oh Saks. Of ALL the shoes you sell, you chose to lead with these?

2) The fact that (what I can only assume to be) some associate designer's countrified re-imagining of Lagerfeld's clogs made this far into production boggles the mind...

File this under "things that should never be bedazzled"

4) Johnny Weir

File this under "things that should never be bedazzled"

3) Brendan Fraser and Elizabeth Hurley

File this under "things that should never be bedazzled"

2) Vaginas

File this jointly under "things that should never be bedazzled" & "things that should not be worn as hats"

1) Lobsters

A cousin of financial relativism: "good" taste

Oh Rush Limbaugh. Somehow, when I pictured your inner sanctum, I pictured the logo of ESPN burned in effigy, surrounded by empty pill bottles and spent prescription pads...I did not expect the murals. Cherubs? A seascape? I think we can blame the prescription drug addiction for those design choices...I'm sure a lot of things sounded like a good idea with a bloodstream rife with painkillers.
