LUST: Martin Margiela 11 Artistic Paper Zip Wallet
4.27.10For those of you who like carrying around a work of art in their back pockets or purses, check out the Martin Margiela 11 leather zip wallet with an abstract scratched paper application on the front. Even though it’s a men’s wallet, I would love to carry something that inspires me every time I pull out my oft-used credit card.

The Olsens’, Charlotte Ronson’s Collections at JC Penney Now Dirt Cheap!
4.24.10The Olsens’ and Charlotte Ronson’s collections for the masses at JC Penney, Olsenboye and I Heart Ronson, respectively, are now even cheaper than dirt. Marked to half off (and more), you can grab a little Olsen or a little Ronson for around $20.
I think this purple ethnic print skirt from I Heart Ronson is adorable and tres current. When fall rolls around, slap on some tights and a cardigan and you’re good to go.
For those of you who are still OK with the idea of grown women wearing rompers, I present the Olsenboye floral romper, with a darling mini-floral print and cuffed legs.

Jimmy Choo’s Fugly Sneaker Collection First Look Debuts
4.21.10Jimmy Choo’s sneaker capsule collection debuts this summer at $600 a pair, AND they look like a roadkill combination of a Converse sneaker and a garden snake. And for the price, the only women wearing these will be The Real Housewives of New Jersey “because they’re Choos, honey” and Jennifer Lopez in her next nails-on-a-chalkboard song about designer shoes.

Juice it Up with Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel
4.21.10A great way to celebrate Earth Day tomorrow is with a green peel–literally. Juice Beauty’s Green Apple Peel is totally organic, full of good-for-your-skin natural antioxidants like organic apple, lemon, grape juices, raw cane sugar, white willowbark, vitamin antioxidants and essential nutrients.
I tried the full strength version, which had a gel-like consistency and a pleasant spa-like apple scent. I left it on for the recommended 10 minutes (it tingled a fair amount), rinsed off with cool water and voila! Baby butt soft skin! It was smooth and tight. A word of caution, though. Do this peel at night! I did it during the day and it left my skin seriously pinky-red for a good hour or two. I felt like Samantha in Sex and the City when she had a bad peel and still had to attend Carrie’s book party looking like a burn victim. It’s not that bad, but still. For sensitive or thin skin, try the sensitive skin version.
Another unknown but effective usage is for stretch marks (damn you, puberty!). Since I’m my own guinea pig, I thought, hey, if it can do this for my face, what about the rest of my body? I tried it on my hips and it made the stretch marks look a little less noticeable and softer.
Happy Smooth Skin Earth Day!

Backtacular: Butt Crack Fashion
4.19.10Yes, this is no joke. A company called Kimberlily sell an item called Backtacular, which, according to its web site, is a “gluteal cleft patch” which covers up the crack while wearing low rise jeans.
You have your choice of peace signs, fleur de lis, hearts, chandeliers and the oh-so-classy butterfly. Tell me, would you actually buy this product or maybe just wear better-fitting clothes?

Accessories on the Fringe
4.17.10Fringe isn’t generally something I like a whole lot of. I feel like too much (i.e. on the back of a suede jacket in a V-formation or down the sides of jeans) makes you look like you belong on the back of a Hell’s Angel’s motorcycle or that you dropped a whole lot of peyote.
A little fringe, on the other hand, can look fresh and update an otherwise boring outfit. Let’s see, shall we?
I ADORE this Jimmy Choo Tita Fringe Clutch! The snake-embossed leather with suede woven detail on the bottom corner makes it surprisingly modern.
To fringe your feet, check out DV Dolce Vita’s Aventura sandal. The braided strap and stud detail will have you saying “Yee haw!”
To dress up a plain tank top dress, try adding this black fringe necklace by CCC. You may not be riding a horse, but country chic is now city necessary!

Make It Sexy This Earth Day with Prince Peter’s “Heal The World” Tee
4.15.10I don’t know about you, but I have this need to show off my entire side body (as we call it in yoga) every Earth Day–which is April 22nd for you non-recyclers. Call me crazy, call me slutty–I call it being ecologically aware, since I’m not wasting excess fabric that could be used elsewhere (in Africa, for example).
DJ Prince Peter collaborated with famous rock photographer Mick Rock (get it, hehe) to create a line of rockstar glam wear that the likes of Rihanna have been spotted wearing. Check out the “Heal The World” tee which features oversized arm holes and cool, political, positive sayings.
If it’s good enough for RiRi, it’s good enough for you.

Hudson’s 1K Jeans! Really?!
4.14.10Just when I thought we were cured of our addiction to overpriced premium denim that cost upwards of $150, Hudson Jeans says “screw the economy” and debuts the Resurrection line. Price point? $995.
Hudson’s latest collection is called Resurrection for its repurposed fabrics pieced together into one-of-a-kind styles that you probably can make in your crafts class at Michaels. One-of-a-kind does NOT mean bespoke, however, so if regular Hudsons don’t fit you well, these aren’t likely to fit well, either, no matter how high the price tag. I don’t know about you, but embellishments like sideways pockets and zipper detailing do not a thousand dollar jean make.
My thoughts? My plain old Hudsons fit fabulously and cost less than a car payment, so there.
