purple power

Purple IS this season's hottest color!!!!

You will be seeing it everywhere from places

like Forever 21, to upscale stores like Neiman Marcus , Nordstrom, and of course boutiques.

There are many ways you can wear this color. For the bold and fearless, you can drape it all over like these three ladies. For the less daring it can be used to add little punches of color anywhere you like (go for some purple nailpolish by OPI). This rich hue is sure to spice up any outfit weather your paring it with jeans and a tee, or a black mini dress.

Either way, this color is a must have for any fall wardrobe.

Big Bucks for Big Towel

In the market for a new beach towel? If you are you may want to think about taking out a second mortgage to scoop up this one.

Looks like you ordinary beach towel right? WRONG! It's a Hermes beach towel.... It's made from, you guessed it, 100% cotton. WOW! I guess in Hermes language that translates to: woven from gold thread and diamond dust. (note: it doesn't. it translates into, Lets rip off consumers by telling them its a designer product, so they have to have it)

The average beach towel can cost anywhere from $10 to $20 depending on size and quality.

I guess if I ever feel like spending $459 on a beach towel one day, then I will definitely have to buy this one.

Need a beach bag? Hermes can take care of that for you too!
You can pick up this little COTTON bag for $930!!!
This day at the beach is getting to be quite expensive.
Lets take a moment to add this up:
Towel- $459
Beach Bag- $930
TOTAL: $1389.00

*(remember: That is for one towel. I don't know about you but I take at least 3 with me every time i go to the beach)

No!!!!! Not Again

NO NO NO...... This is becoming ludicrous! 2 times in one week I see this sock stuffed in a "shoot" business.

Now this lovely disaster is the creation of Stella McCartney. A pair of these will set you back $1,195 (very tempting, i know).

I know where this idea came from. Stella was smoking a huge ROCK, and saw a pair of

hideous "booties" then thought, "Wow you know what would look great with those? Thick Socks!! BRILLIANT!!" I'm here to inform anyone who cares, that these little things are not cute. They are not as bad as the Marc Jacobs ones, but, they still pose as a great example of an extreme faux pas.

Hollywood Blvd. meets Rodeo Drive

When looking at this, you may be thinking that this is a new trend for strippers. quite the opposite. This is the latest from designer Marc Jacobs....

I would not be caught dead in these shoes..... I'm not really sure what Marc was trying to accomplish here. If it was to design a shoe that makes you look like a 2 dollar hooker, lady of the night then Hat's Off!!!! he succeeded!!!

Those of you who do wish to look like a streetwalker wearing "hybrid" shoe. go ahead a cough up $495 to look like a HARLOT!!! In my opinion, that's $494.99 too much.

This shoe is just a different version of one of my absolute favorite faux pas of all time: loafers or any type of heel with socks.

(awww... now don't cry_______, I love making you the butt of my jokes!!)

Checker boards are for playing checkers.... hence the name!!

Who wants checkers all over their pants? This girl does, THAT's WHO!!


I was shopping at International Plaza this past Sunday, when something suddenly caught my eye. No, it was not a fabulous bag or a cute outfit.... It was a girl wearing the most awful hideous pants I have ever seen. Not to mention they are "skinny" and she has chosen to pair them with not one, but two metallic belts. YUCK!

Someone must have missed the memo that this is not by any stretch of the imagination attractive. She would have been better off wearing a huge sign that says, "Hi I am a victim of extremely bad taste, and I have absolutely no fashion sense." That would have saved my eyes from experiencing a tremendous amount of pain.


But, I am actually glad that she wore it because it gave me a change to educate others on yet another Fashion Felony
