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 still have a couple of their eyeshadows. I've had them for years and should probably toss them, but now it's like they're a relic or something ... #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
@Penny: "...And then, he's gonna make her Lady Wintour, Viscountess of 4 Times Square, and Marchioness of the Leaping Brazilians, and he'll take her as his vassal for Long Island, and then they'll all eat pizza and cupcakes." #zoekravitz
I was reading through the UK Vogue with Georgia May on the cover last night. It's literally the first time I have flipped through a magazine and felt frightfully old. #ragtrade
i stopped liking burberry plaid on my fourth (or so) sighting of a suburban family who thought dressing their entire brood in it would be a cute idea for their holiday snapshot...no better than chav co-option.
prorsum, however, is another story. i wouldn't refuse it as a gift.
My eyeglasses are Burberry, plaid and everything, and that's about as much plaid as I can imagine myself wearing. I get a lot of comments about how unusual they are, but in 5 years of wearing them maybe 10 people have identified them as Burberry. Maybe the plaid just isn't as recognizable on a smaller scale.
um fuck Burberry. I've gotten several things from there that looked good, fit great, and were ungodly expensive but unless I have the worst luck ever, the percentage of manufacturing defects in their merchandise is wayy too high (faulty zippers, instant unraveling stitching). Although I probably have no business shopping there if my heart breaks when a seam does.
There was a magazine feature about him a while back detailing the death of his boyfriend and how it affected his work... can't remember where... he came off as so human and real. He seems like a wonderful person.
I will not be wearing a garment from a fashion house patronised by the lower orders. The fact I cannot afford to buy an outfit from Burberrys is neither here nor there.As for soap star Daniella Westbrook, she returned to the show that made her famous yesterday. I was watching in the gym (honest guv) and was transfixed by her nose. It had collapsed in the past as a result of cocaine abuse and has since had plastic surgery. However, I was fascinated to see whether the plastic surgery had been a great success as she had previously played the part when her nose had been little more than a gaping hole in her face, clever camera work having concealed the extent of the self inflicted damage.
I live right across the street from the new Burberry HQ. It is beautiful, although they waste a lot of energy with the lights on at all hours and the constant flickering images of Emma Watson et al. The concierge in my building keeps making excuses to go over and talk to the receptionists there, as they are all insanely hot.
