True confessions: I have actually worn the mary-kateandashley makeup. They made a really kick ass gold metallic eye shadow pencil that I used to rock in high school. #zoekravitz

@Zombie Ms. Skittles: I have too! I bought a bunch of it at once, like 5 years ago, because they had things packaged together and then they were buy one get one free, and they were cheap. It was good makeup, especially the lip gloss. I used everything until they were done and I still have the dark brown eyeliner.

It is a little embarrassing. One of my friends peeked in my makeup bag and was like "I didn't know you were a Mary Kate and Ashley fan" #zoekravitz

I have very strong opinions about Eileen Fisher. I worked in a boutique that sold her things when I was in college and, regardless of the "image" she's going for (fuck, it's fashion), she IS a godsend to a lot of women. If you can sell a cute pair of linen drawstring pants in XS to a 19 year old like me and dress a size 22 who is 50 and a professional, you're doing something right.

Fisher's ads feature a pretty wide range of women (ages, races and yes, sizes). She doesn't need to target the plus-size market because they already flock to her.

Also, Rosie bugs me. Does Donna Karan go for a plus size image? No. #ragtrade

@Penny: It's not my kind of style, but Eileen Fisher clothing seems to be very well made. Many of the brands catering to plus sizes seem to be very cheaply made.

If I go to a higher end department store and look at plus sizes, the style is very dowdy and matronly. There are young, plus size women who have the money to buy nice things.

@Penny: I agree about the designs -- I actually love some of Eileen Fisher's pieces. (Most of them I stole from my mum, but you know.)

However, it is true the company is consciously chasing a younger "hipper" customer -- they certainly collaborated with a Times article stating same -- and that strikes me as foolish.

And if Fisher herself said what O'Donnell reports, to her very face, that is just downright mean.

@Jenna: I agree. I'm not one to ditch good design willy nilly, but Fisher's rudeness to a happy, loyal customer tells me I shouldn't express any more gratitude to Eileen Fisher with my hard-earned money because clearly my fat behind insults her business.

Famous person talking about and wearing your clothes = great advertising. Famous person telling fans how rude and ungrateful clothing designer is = bad advertising. That's how social media works, lady. #zoekravitz

Dear Alexander Wang,

I get it. I just don't understand why Italian yarn and digital weaving makes your bike shorts any better or more functional than a pair of $10 bike shorts.

Please enlighten me.

@PilgrimSoul: You buy a size bigger so that they can wear it for a year, and so that you can layer under it during winter. At least, that's what I do. (But I also buy most of my child's clothes at WalMart and Ross. Cute, rugged, and $4 for jeans.) #stellamccartneyforgapkids

@PilgrimSoul: One child may only wear the clothing for 6 months, but often, baby clothes are hand-me-downs for that reason. My mother famously purchased exorbitantly expensive clothing for me as a child, but it was then passed down to my sister, and four of my cousins. When you consider it in that way, they can get a lot of wear. That said, I am sure Suri Cruise is not getting hand-me-downs, or giving them to others. It's all relative. #stellamccartneyforgapkids

@raphaela: I buy most of my son's at Kohl's and Target, but when I wanted something really cute for his Christmas card pictures, I went to Janie and Jack (where I normally never go). I found a ridiculously cute outfit for all of $38. He wore it for his picture, he wore it a few times and his cousin is wearing it this Xmas. Not a bad deal. #stellamccartneyforgapkids

@Maritsa: Well, in my case at least, better quality. So buying expensive clothing for kids who'll outgrow it in a few months doesn't make sense to me. An expensive dress I'll wear for the next 5-10 years though? Yes. #stellamccartneyforgapkids

@InABook: Yeah, I don't have any issue with expensive stuff, I buy enough of it myself (mostly bags). I also don't think Gap Kids clothes are some outrageously expensive waste of money or conspicuous consumption. Maybe if you bought every single item in your kids' wardrobe there, but no one I know does that (though I'm sure someone does).

As many people have pointed out, they are better quality, wear better, and are often handed down. And are not even that expensive! A sweater is probably $38. (Granted the Stella M line is prob more.)

I've gotten Gap hand-me-downs from friends who got the clothes from other people. They're just better quality than, say, Target's house brand, so they can be re-used. If they're still in good shape, most people give their kids' clothes away when they're done with them, or sell them at a consignment shop.

I wasn't suggesting people shouldn't buy expensive stuff. I don't give a crap what other people spend their money on. God knows my family thinks I spend too much money on clothes. But if I can afford it, who cares? #stellamccartneyforgapkids
