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
@berlitzfrench: I just realized the grammatical error in my original post. Ugh. That's what I get for posting with only 3 hours of sleep under my belt... #marisamiller
@thatblackgirl: Well, Photoshop is used to create an "illusion". Implants are used to create breasts that are made out of silicone instead of flesh. There's no reason physical breasts would look "photoshopped on" ust because they have implants inside. #marisamiller
As an Anthropology student, I resent the spelling of that shop name.
But my two American friends are always banging on about how good it is, and they both dress far better than I do, so I'll probably check it out at some point... #marisamiller
I love Ann Taylor - the pieces are usually basic enough that I can rock them for a variety of occasions, with the right accessories. Sure, they're "edge-free", but I add my own edge with jewelry, shoes and bags. #marisamiller
@FashionShowAtLunch: She lost me for good at:
"No, I’m not interested in a Michelle Obama-inspired, stretch satin, office-party ‘mistletoe moment’ dress, thank you very little."
We can't all wear "Frankenhooker" boots to work Cintra! Some of us like collecting cardigans and wool skirts--preferably ones that cost less than $100, thanks.
@lolabee: I read it as, "I have no problem with fat chicks wearing my clothes but designing stuff that flatters a body with curves and stuff that deviates from my dressmaking mannequins is HARD and I'm too lazy." #marisamiller

Was she misquoted? That sentence is so awkward it becomes contradictory. #ragtrade
