Thimister Platform Wedge: If These Don’t Improve My Backside, Forget It.

These are hilarious. They look like a cross between a therapeutic boot and a wedge. I can’t put my finger on what exactly makes me feel this way, but I have a feeling it has something to do with the completely closed front and low pitch.

Stella McCartney “Falabella” Bags: Milking the “Falabella,” Then Killing It

A classic case of a too much of a good thing. I was initially indifferent about the Stella McCartney “Falabella” bag, then I fell in love with the clutch. But this is chain-link trim overload! Now there is a bucket, quilted shoulder, slouchy bucket, metallic cross-body (because Lord knows you need your “Falabella” for evening … Continue reading “Stella McCartney “Falabella” Bags: Milking the “Falabella,” Then Killing It”

Oscars Top Three Not So Great Looks

Prada Denim and Crocodile Hobo

Prada makes some of the most gorgeous bags I have ever seen. This? Not one of them. I am all for denim and crocodile. But when the denim is on my handbag I can’t help but think I’ve jumped in a time machine and headed to a time when Mariah was an actress and starring … Continue reading “Prada Denim and Crocodile Hobo”
