Remember when Converse started selling pre-scuffed sneakers for $65 and I thought it was the dumbest thing ever? I take it back. I take it all back. Go buy all the dirty Converse you want. They’re a great deal compared to these stained, rusted, worn-out (but technically still “new”) sneakers from Italian brand A Diciannoveventitre that will cost you a whopping $1,975. In related news, I don’t want to live on this planet anymore. [Barneys]
Grace Coddington Uses Cats As Models To Illustrate Her Dream Met Gala Looks
We had Feelings about the Met Ball‘s “punk” theme this year. So, apparently, did Vogue‘s Grace Coddington, who upon arriving at the event remarked that she would have liked “to see some real punks in here, like street punks.” Word! Something was certainly missing, and that thing, Grace must have decided, was cats. Everything could always use more cats, no? Coddington sketched some of her own favorite punk-inspired pieces that didn’t make it into the illustrious promenade, and who better to model the edgy looks than a very fashionable litter of wayward kittens?

Beauty How-To: Go Bronze Yourself
I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this before, but I am Pale. Like, really pale, so pale it warrants a capital P for emphasis. I glow under black lights; practically all of my veins and arteries are peeking through my flesh braying for you to notice them; when I go out in public without makeup on perfect strangers ask me if I am okay. (I am fine.) However, I will melt in direct sunlight, and the fake bronze look of artificial tanning just does not appeal to me, so I long ago fully embraced my fairness with open (white) arms. In fact, I quite like it, and I quietly resent anyone, friend or foe, who tells me off-handedly that I “need a tan.” No, I don’t — I just need a little bit of bronzer, and then I’m back to looking human again.
I’m a dope hand at contouring because I’m obsessssssed with cheekbones, but my full-face bronzing technique leaves something to be desired (I stick a huge, fluffy brush in the pan and just slap it all over my face, whatever). Consider this remedial how-to my effort at learning with you.
New Fave Tumblr: A Game Of Clothes Finds The Best “Game Of Thrones” Inspired Fashion
"Game Of Thrones" Lingo
"Make water," "smallclothes," and other words and phrases from the series. Read More »
If you, like me, are deeply obsessed with “Game of Thrones,” then perhaps Tumblr A Game of Clothes is for you. Combining two of my fave passions––fashion and “GoT,” Game of Clothes offers up runway looks that wouldn’t be out of place in Westeros. Writes the unnamed keeper of the blog fire, “After watching the first season of Game of Thrones I had to read the books, and I loved the descriptions of outfits and locations through out the series so much, that I have collected what I think the characters of A Song of Ice and Fire would wear and live.” Keep reading »

Comedian Takes On Douchebag Abercrombie & Fitch Practices By Being A Douchebag
It’s pretty clear that Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries is a raging douchebag. Aside from the sexist and elitist (oh and we forgot, ableist) practices the company’s been found guilty, Jeffries most recently came under fire for his absolutely ridiculous sizing policies. You see, A&F only produces women’s clothing up to a size 10, because, as Jeffries so pleasantly notes, “In every school, there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids. We go after the popular kids.” Okay, first off, it’s embarrassing that a 60-year-old man would use a high school analogy to describe his business model. Nevermind that A&F’s heyday was, like, 2006 or something, Jeffries is pretty blatantly King of the D-bags, yes? Keep reading »
Ziploc Jacket Lets You Wear Your Lunch And Eat It Too
It’s 10AM and your stomach is growling. You could rifle through your traditional paper lunch bag to sneak a bite of your sandwich, or, if you’re wearing this ingenious Ziploc jacket, you could just unzip the pocket under your armpit. Want some chips? No worries, they’re conveniently stored below your boob. Apparently the brilliant designer of this stylish snackovation is known only as Diana (her friend posted the photo to Tumblr), but I’m pretty confident we’ll get to know her better when she inevitably shows up on “Project Runway” (or perhaps a spinoff called “Project Lunchway”?). Til then, I’ll be in the kitchen with a glue gun trying to make a knockoff version of this awesome jacket. [Grist]

That’s A Good Look: 8 Celebs Who Are Burning Up The Beach

The Celebrity Machine Just Keeps Churning Out More & More Phoebe Price
A while ago, I told you about how some celebrities actually call the paparazzi on themselves, in order to stay in the press and garner attention. That’s why every Halloween you’ll see garish pictures of say, Courtney Stodden picking out pumpkins in 8-inch lucite heels or Farrah Abraham taking a solitary, sad, sexy walk on the beach.
And then there’s Phoebe Price. Phoebe Price is a regular punching bag for gossip blogger Michael K. over at D-Listed, and he’s very, very cruelly funny about it, referring to as Chicken Cutlets. She is constantly being photographed by paparazzi and was voted by K and his D-Listed readers as 2007′s Hot Slut of the Year, a dubious honor that we’re not entirely sure Phoebe understands.
