That Barbie Waist



It had to happen. M.A.C. and Barbie unite. It was inevitable that these two powerhouses came together to take over the universe. Well my universe. The best makeup company uniting with the hottest doll in the world (Bratz dolls ain't got nothing on this lady). Now I admit that she is a terrible image and example for young girls to have. Her body is totally unrealistic and it sets any young girl up for years of eating disorders and distorted self image for the rest of their lives. But it also provides years of inappropriate play which makes it all worth it. Don't you think. In my house Ken and Barbie got it on so much her leg was wobbly.

M.A.C. has a new collection featuring Barbieesque colors of eye shadow, nail polish, lipgloss, lipsticks, t-shirts, bags and even a hip new M.A.C. Barbie. Most of the stuff is already sold out online so check your local M.A.C. store and you might be lucky to get one of the sought after products. Now if I could just get that Barbie waist. What! I am brainwashed.

Arrest Me





The MIDI Cuff is what I call a real accessory. Cool, different and versatile this cuff is a bracelet and so much more. They
are made of sequential MIDI cable segments arranged in rows to form mod cuffs with velcro and adjustable straps. Throw this on with some jeans. Or add some edge to a hot dress with this beauty. This cuff tells people you play guitar. That you catch the subway. That your on your way to see a foreign film (such as the ridiculously good Pan's Labyrinth). Its cool with an edge that I love.

MIDI CUFF starts at $45.00 at elsewares.com

Ants, Leafs and a Mustard Bottle



I love funky prints. I have a fabric with an Ant picnic print, complete with mustard and hot dogs that I can't wait to make into a hot skirt one day. So when I saw this leaf print shirt dress by RUBY SMALLBONE I was sold. The little leafs are not over powering and the subtle mix of strips adds to its appeal. This 100% silk vintage mini shirt dress has frilled cap sleeves and a tie at the neck. Its perfectly girly and would look great with some vintage knee high boots and a tight brown leather bomber jacket.


If you want to check out this dress by Australian designer Ruby Smallbone got to mycatwalk.com. The dress will set you back $279 USD.

In my Boyfriends Pants


I have been over skinny jeans for more than a year. And to be honest with you even when I was rocking my banging skinny Acne jeans I secretly coveted my baggy boyfriend style jeans. I mean what's not to like about them. They are much more comfortable, forgiving and the dirtier they are the better. They scream I don't spend more then 5 minutes getting ready (although you spend an hour) and I don't care what you think. Nothing looks better to me right now then paring a Hanes Boys V-Neck, a boyfriend jean and some ridiculously hot heels. Mix your I don't cares with your I really do cares and you got a hot look. Even if I didn't like them, which I do, I would wear them just to buck what every one else is doing.

These Vintage Wash Boyfriend Jean from Topshop are so cute and a steal at 40 eros which is about $52.00 US. Go to topshop.com to check them out.

The Cuttest Ring in the World.. No Butts About It


I am not a huge ring wearer. But if a fancy bobble catches my eyes I am not above slipping it on one of my fingers. And this Coffee & Cigarettes Ring by D-LICIOUS is so funky and cute that I must have it!

Anyone that knows me, knows that I HATE even the smell of coffee and the very notion of cigarettes makes my skin crawl but this ring looks like a piece from a XXX Monopoly game. Now if they could just make a ring with a clear heel and a stack of ones we would be in business. Note how perfect the coffee cup and ashtray are formed the cigarette even has a tiny burning ash! You can cop this ring at Elsewares.com for $58.00.

Pickels..Vintage Cucumbers and Other Stuff I Like

This Blog is dedicated to all the stuff I like. Nothing more, nothing less. Do you like Pickles you ask? Why yes I do. But do you know what I like more than Pickles. The actual word, Pickles. It just floats off your tongue. Pickles. Its like a massage for the tongue. Pickles.

You know what else I like better then the word Pickles? Clothes. Vintage Clothes. Hip Clothes. Dirty Clothes. Shoes. Brand New Clothes. Worn in Clothes. And food.

So thats it folks. If you want to see the things that I am feeling at the moment for no other reason to say the word Pickles if you didn't get a chance to say it all day. Come back this should be fun.

Pickles.
