Sooooo bitchen'

Vintage or should I say RETRO accessories abound at Depuis 1924, carrying 8 brands exclusively and mostly from the late 70's to 1980's. And in the true 80's spirit what fun they are! Chanel pearl coated sunglasses, a cassette tape belt, new wave sunnies in two tone right angles, birdcage earrings and that crazy Versace over the top rococo gold handbags: it's like all my IU AMID roomates closets threw up all at once.

Who does not need a Chanel muff for $2850

I have these actual glasses. Bought them in 1995 at the Versace store in Rome

The classic Hermes Medo bracelet. They still make them but not in this color

Stay out of jail, Loser! And I quote




Oh My God I'm going to kill someone if I don't get what I want! Namely: tall brown strappy hardware medium heel boots. Oh ha ha just kidding, only mentally ill people would say that first part.


Choice 1: Born Kenin



Choice #2 Pikolino Brugas

Choice #3 Frye Veronica back zip

I will probably go with #3 of course the most expensive dammit. Anyone have a Zappos coupon?

It can happen to you

Rise up in hope all ye small town designers. I was alerted to some homegirls (ok Lansing Michigan is not quite Detroit but anyway) who have made it in a big way. Twins Shawn & Claire Buitendorp are creating costumes for Katy Perry and stuff for Betsey Johnson. DREAM JOB. Funnily enough, this all started after  they attended one of Katy's concerts and being so inspired they made her a costume with no formal design training whatsoever.  Now they are regulars on her circuit with the Sundae dress being a fave.

What are you doing to save the world?

Skincare company Kahina Giving Beauty is like the Avon of the UN. Using Moroccan Argan oil harvested by womens who have no other way to make a living, you can feel good and look good. WIN! I just got my Kahina Giving Beauty moisturizer and I can highly endorse it for y'all with sensitive skin. It is super light and practically scentless. Good for summer so I'll save it for later but the pure hair oil has already been almost all used up by my poor pink ends

Best Bite of King Park

Oh I love me some Three Floyds Beer! Luckily Steve at Goose the Market felt this TF Milk Stout would pair awesomely with my dish for the fundraiser Best Bite of King Park 5:30 Thursday, October 25th  @ Harrison Center benefitting KPADC and their mission to improve quality of life in housing for those in the King Park area. (whew) For $25 you can sample guest chefs fall-ish dishes with a  matching beer or wine. I hope to totally win with my super secret ingrediant that involves a form of bacon

Project IMA Inspired Part 1 1/2

Sorry, I know you have seen a similar photo earlier but it this not the bestest! I have been dying for a feather dress since I saw that Oscar de la Renta one S/S 2010. This Blaque Lable one fit the bill despite leaving little trail of pink everywhere. Would it make a good wedding dress? Maybe for someone else, the white satin strapless top  does my big boobs no favors so it will be in my store asap www.joyride6.com

Sad Puppy

Anna Sui and Hush Puppies go together like goth and nerd (ie: sadder then you and smarter then you). HP made a big and albeit successful attempt at hipness with their colorful 50's style creeper loafers back in the early 90's and now like everyone else has collaborated with a top designer and it is super cute. Anthropologie even carries it! A ringing endorsement to be sure. Check out the cutout lace up boots in purple. www.hushpuppies.com
