Barbie’s Big Birthday

Catherine StrawnNovember 14, 2008 //

Barbie is turning 50 next year (doesn’t she look good for her age?), and her birthday celebration is going to be huge. She’s getting a line of beauty products, collaborating with Vera Wang on a wedding dress and Jeremy Scott on a capsule collection, and getting her own show at New York Fashion Week in February. For the show, 50 designers will produce life-sized outfits inspired by the doll — oh, to be a style icon. We’re curious whether the models who will walk in Barbie’s fashion show will all resemble her. If so, they’re going to have a hard time finding anyone, because even models don’t have her kind of proportions. Check out Barbie’s many, many, many looks over the years, after the jump… Keep reading »

Real Housewives Of Atlanta: Kim’s Wig Makeover

Annika HarrisNovember 13, 2008 //

Since the premiere of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” viewers have been talking about three things: Big Poppa’s identity, the feud between NeNe and Kim and Kim’s wig, which we think looks like recycled Barbie hair. As you can see, we’ve touched on the first two topics, but decided to wait and deal with the sorry state of Kim’s wig because a woman’s hair is a really delicate subject.

We don’t mean Kim any disrespect. We just think that someone who can write checks for $67,000 should have a more expensive wig. So we decided to give Kim a few makeovers based on celebrity hairstyles, so she realizes how many options she has. If she and NeNe reconcile, maybe Dwight Eubanks will style her next lace-front wig. Vote on which you like best! Keep reading »

Crave: I Heart Italian Meats

Amelia McDonell-ParryNovember 13, 2008 //

Why declare your love for your favorite man meat on a t-shirt, when you could proclaim your adoration for your favorite tubed meat? Wooster Street Meats sells adorable t-shirts flaunting their selection of Italian meats via their website. Personally, we’re soppressata girls, but prosciutto, brasciole, and capicola are also options. Not a meat eater? That’s too bad, but maybe we’ll hunt down some cheese loving shirts for you vegetarians. Men and baby sizes are also available. [Wooster Street Meats] Keep reading »

Crave: Ice Orb

Catherine StrawnNovember 12, 2008 //

Behold, the Ice Orb! This otherworldly object is a souped-up ice tray, not Wall-E’s second cousin. Not only is the Orb rather attractive, but it makes 21 ice cubes at a time and stores another 51 inside its removable inner bucket. Basically, if you don’t have an icemaker built into your fridge, the Orb is going to change your life — and free up more space for those bags of frozen curly fries. [$16, A+R Store] Keep reading »

Creepy Or Cool? Barbie Baubles

Amelia McDonell-ParryNovember 12, 2008 //

Personally, I think these are really rad. Made by Etsy retailer Margaux Lange, these earrings, necklaces, and rings are made from disembodied Barbie parts. Edgy? Subversive? Icky? Or all of the above? [$110-$185, Etsy] Keep reading »

Crave: Vintage Flower Studs

Annika HarrisNovember 11, 2008 //

Every girl needs a little sparkle in her life, and these earrings provide the right dose–not too much and not too little. They definitely have an elegant vintage feel without the vintage price tag. These flower earrings are perfect for holiday festivities because they kind of look like snowflakes and a little razzle-dazzle is always appropriate this time of year. They’d also be a pretty addition to your outerwear ensemble because your earrings are usually visible when you’re all bundled up. But we also think these earrings would be equally smashing with jeans and a white tank when the temperature warms. [$25, Topshop] Keep reading »

10 Tumblogs To Follow

Amelia McDonell-ParryNovember 10, 2008 //

Tumblr is the awesome blogging platform out there right now. Unlike Typepad or Blogger, you don’t need to know a lick of HTML to post thoughts or images onto your own blog from your computer or phone. Best of all, it also allows you to follow other Tumblr bloggers via your dashboard, similar to the way you’d follow websites you like via an RSS feed. Even if you just want a place to post your favorite photos for friends and family to see, or compile favorite quotes, Tumblr makes it idiot proof, and the more bloggers you follow on your dashboard, the more cool information, pictures, and articles you’ll discover. After the jump, some of my favorite Tumblogs to follow.
