So, we got this press release from Bonheur about their jewelry being featured in Vogue Taiwan.  Who cares about the earrings? Check out this chick’s outfit!?!? We’re huge GoT fans. Huge. Hugely. We need this in our closet. We could easily look bad-ass-beautiful standing next to Arya or Brienne with our swords ready to battle for the throne. Perhaps we should start a GoFundMe so we can own this... Like what you read here?

The Minnie Mouse Eyeshadow Blush Palette is the leader of the pack with six pigmented neutral to bold shades and one awesome matte blush. Three new Liquid Matte Lipsticks finish your look.

We never quite decided how we felt about the ol’ Houndstooth pattern. Perhaps it’s because Houndstooth and tweed seem to go together like peas and carrots, and tweed is itchy. Who wants that annoyance? Somebody who’s somebody, Keltie Knight, posted pics of her Beyond Proper Houndstooth Tweed Mini Skirt.  She looks awesome. We think we’d look like a fat tablecloth. Plus, we’d rather spend $59.98 on adopting a hound dog of some sort. It’s all about context. It can make a phrase innocent or inflammatory. Take for instance the word “bitch”. Two girls in da club draaanking too much start name-calling. When “bitch” is dropped, someone might lose their weave. Then, there are other times when a woman is fine with being a strong “bitch”. One Tough Bitch is born from the empowerment context. Two-time cancer survivor Shelly Fisher created a line of clothing and jewelry to empower women with a physical reminder that they can get through anything.  Not only will women feel like a superwoman sporting these designs, but they’ll feel even better knowing 10% of proceeds are donated to Give Her Camp. Love! We think One Tough Bitch’s theme song should be a play on Naughty By Nature’s O.P.P. Obviously, a cleaner more respectful tune: “We’re down wit OTB! Yeah, you know me!” Like what you read here?

Perhaps Travis Scott should stick with whatever “music” he does. Because his fashion is whack. We appreciate the tie-in with the album of the same name, but Astroworld—the clothing line—is… interesting.  Is it us? Or does this shirt look like a butthole? A distressed buthole… Maybe Astroworld is really Assh$leworld.  And this looks like a centipede. The last thing we’d want on our body.  This one is kinda cool in a Heath Ledger-Joker sort of way. Ah, fashion. We could’ve made this in 3rd grade art class. Why aren’t we millionaires?
We know celebrities are not “just like us”, despite that stupid Us Weekly feature (does that even still exist?). They’re out of touch with reality and make a ton of money that apparently needs spent on over-priced items. Like these Natalie McMillan earrings:
Lacey Chabert wore them to some press appearance Granted, she probably got them for free to wear. But to then think the average female is going to drop $700 for these?
HA HA HA HA HA HA! Are these earrings going to do my laundry and rub my feet? The price tag for some earrings that are bound to get lost is a whole bunch of ridic. Some things you can get for $700: Lots of groceries A down payment on a vacay Two or three new wardrobes Pay your utilities for months Get a new phone (still kinda ridic) Lots and lots of wine Many wonderful subscriptions to Crack Wise (just $14.99/yaer) A few of our Crack Wise staffers remember a time called the late 70s-early 80s. A time when rainbows were a fashion thing because of the colors. No agenda. Just joyous rainbows. Actress Isla Fisher was spotted wearing Today’s Hits and Yesterday’s Favorites Sweatshirt from Saturday School.  Cool sweatshirt. Reminds us of something that would’ve been worn back then. So instead of dropping $88, we’re going to crawl into mom and pop’s attic and see if we can find our beloved rainbow sweatshirt. Since retro is back in style, we might actually fit in… for once. P.S. Do loooove the Saturday School vibe. The name. The website. But we’d have to get a Saturday morning job to afford the clothing.  Camilla Belle is famous. So people care. She wore this snazzy looking striped sweater, snapped some pics, and shared them on her Insta. Personally, we’re more interested in the cute teapot:  Seriously, we want the deets on where we can get one for ourselves. And, do these cuties come in different colors, cuz we’d rock a red one. Or a Tiffany Blue teapot. Plus, we just bought a striped sweater from Old Navy for a cool $10. This Splendid version will set you back $168. Camilla may be stylish, but we’re savvy. Or cheap…Whichever. It’s all in a name. So when we discovered a clothing brand named “Out of Order”, we were fascinated. We thought about a judge getting upset in court and pounding his gavel. But we mostly thought about a non-working bathroom at a gas station. Apparently, neither were the inspiration behind the brand. Out of Order is all about thought-provoking designs that explore hot-button subject matter.  This is from the latest collection named “CODE 417”—which is the code the NYPD uses to reference a person with a gun. The 28-piece collection is comprised of sweat suits, graphic t’s and coveralls. And then, there’s this:  We’re sweating just looking at this outfit. And the duct-taped nips? Is she going from street to mammogram? We know we are fashion failures. But here’s how we feel. They call this street wear. But we feel like if someone really wore this on the street, they’d get their ass kicked. No street cred in these threads. Boom. |
