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
Confession: I've bought a Miley-designed shirt from Wal-Mart. Which leads me to the bigger confession: I shop at Wal-Mart. Regularly. Whew, feels good to get that one out there. #mileycyrus
@Everything MidnightBikeRide does is a balloon.: When I went there the other night looking for left over Halloween candy some of her stuff was pretty cute. I think Wal-Mart is just trying to get on Target's game with their cheapie designer stuff.
That being said I went on Nov 1st at 7pm and the Halloween candy had ALREADY been replaced by X-mas candy. WTF.
If they want me to get so fat that I have to buy a new wardrobe they need to give me some discount candy.

@Lizard in the Wires now with even MORE metal in the face!: Target has been really disappointing in their celeb/designer lines lately. The McQueen one was lame and the Anna Sui was sooooo expensive. I still have some stuff from the Proenza Schouler and Behnaz Sarafpour collections (several years old now) that I wear all the time, but the newer stuff has been MAJOR LAMESAUCE. I'm holding out hope for the Rodarte line. #mileycyrus
@katie.scarlett.o'hara: I haven't liked much of their new stuff either. But I thought maybe it was meant to appeal to more of a high school fashionista crowd? That was the only thing I could come up with.
But Mizrahi always brings it (well, he generally brings it). #mileycyrus
@Lizard in the Wires now with even MORE metal in the face!: Yeah, definitely. That whole Gossip Girl thing was so stupid. There was maybe one dress I liked, but the rest just looked too trendy, and it was all like $50-60! Way too much for Target.
Mizrahi is totally gone! I think his last collection was earlier this year? I really miss his stuff. Target is usually crap when it comes to shoes, but his were actually great.
I think Mossimo or whatever the Target brand is has been stepping it up lately, so we have one small thing to be thankful for, lol. #mileycyrus
The Lady Gaga clothing line will debut with the "Poker Face," an ingenious face-defense sheath made of lace available in avant-red, paparazzi-purple, and disco-stick-dandelion. Crown sold separately. #mileycyrus
@suck_it_monkeys: SO much word. And all my other brand name clothes, even mall store brand names like Express. I even once got a Badgley Mischka dress at TJM. LOVE. #ragtrade
@girlscoutcookie is back from hiatus: I hold an annual celebration on the date I found a purple silk Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti dress at Filene's for $112. I get the dress out, twirl it around in front of my mirror, sing it Happy Birthday, and then we have cake.
So far I've worn it outside the house, um, once. #mileycyrus
" />That KOL line is pretty standard fashion for most rock boys already. I'm pretty sure the BF already has a flannel shirt and some cowboy style shirts. On the other hand, Caleb Followill is hot.
@Master.And.Everyone: I know that he's a fashion designer (and a braggart, apparently), but I have no idea what he looks like. I'm pretty sure that Karl Lagerfeld is the only designer I'd recognize on the street, and that's only because of Jezebel. :) #ragtrade
@Kivrin: Who could miss the fabulosity of Karl Lagerfeld? To quote Margaret Cho, he fans the flames of his faggotry "like he's some kind of Spanish Lady or something." #mileycyrus
OMG I remember Bata shoes. I wore them in primary school. I went to a catholic school where the uniform was bottle green dress with 2 brown stripes and we had to wear brown socks with plain brown leather lace-ups. Fashionable, it was not. #mileycyrus
@cuteasabutton: My religious single-sex high school education has limited, even to this day, my ability to wear brown leather shoes. I sympathise. #mileycyrus
