Just because a piece of fashion has a big name label on it, and just because it’s super expensive, doesn’t make it a must-have or chic item. A fashion victim is a sucker who buys something just because she can – with no logical thought of style and value. Here’s a few examples of items that certainly take the cake, courtesy of LollieShopping.com. Head to the site to see the rest of these luxury fashion misses!
Christian Louboutin Paw Pumps ($5000): I truly believe CL came up with these shoes to make fun of the 1% who can afford to buy them and are dumb enough to wear them. They have to be a joke, right? I mean, they HAVE to be. Oh, please tell me that CL is just a big ol’ mean girl like me and that these shoes were nothing more than a prank on rich ladies.

From our friends at thefind.com:
While a winter coat is a no-brainer cold-weather staple, I’ve come to notice that a wisely-chosen cozy accessory can actually make a remarkable difference when it comes to staying warm during the coldest time of the year! In recent times, I’ve become a bit of a scarf addict – in fact, I have scarves of all colors, styles, and thickness so I have several that I can rock in any weather – and I can’t help but pick up on all the ultra-comfy knit scarves that have been cropping up this season. Collar scarves in particular have been catching my eye because they somehow look so glamorous yet comfortable at the same time – after all, they’re designed to hug you tight and are the perfect outfit add-on when you feel like bundling up. Think of them as a more extreme version of the infinity scarf, but even more cozy, as they incorporate extra-chunky knits for that looped-and-layered look that will stop at nothing to protect you from catching a chill! I love this classic knit collar by Bop Basics from Shopbop – its neutral tone will go with everything, and it’s so comfy that you’ll be tempted to rock it everyday! If you’re looking for something a bit more festive, this metallic Michael Kors scarf has that similarly cozy feel but with some added shimmer and an edgy exposed zipper. And as long as you’re not sensitive to itchy fabric, this Madewell mohair scarf will never fail at keeping you extra warm through this winter freeze!

Everyone has a T.J. Maxx or Marshalls story of an out-of-this-world find; be it from the home section, women’s, men’s, kids, jewelry, beauty, footwear, or accessories department! Last night I attended an event of product that is expected to roll out into stores in the next few months, and I can’t wait to scour my favorite location for some great designer goods. Above are some of my favorite products on display, which featured pumps from Miu Miu, a jacket from Helmut Lang, and a plethora of designer handbags.
Did you know that T.J. Maxx and Marshalls are the same company? Maybe, or maybe not — here’s a few other great facts about the company that I found to be interesting:
- over 10,000 new items show up at EVERY store, EVERY week!
-the buying team, which shops for both T.J. Maxx and Marshalls (MarMaxx) travel the world and are buying constantly.
-products come from 14,000 vendors in 60 countries!
-there are 1700 stores in the USA and Puerto Rico
-items are always 20-60% less than in regular department stores

Here’s a map of where my local T.J. Maxx and Marshalls can be found in the NYC vicinity; to find the closest one in your hometown, head to TJMAXX.com or Marshalls.com

The big screen release of The Hunger Games has been highly anticipated, but so has the brand mash-ups and collabs related to it! The latest? “Colours from the Capitol” Collection by China Glaze starting this March, which will feature 12 shades inspired by the film, including a shimmery black from District 12 to neon red from District 3. The collection retails for $5.99 each at SallyBeauty.com.


Last night was the celebration oAvon’s ANEW skincare product line’s 20th anniversary, a fabulous fete celebrating all things 1990s with who other than a face from the past, Alfonso Ribiero, aka “Carlton,” from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. As you can see from the pic, I couldn’t suppress my excitement at meeting him! Equally as exciting was the belly bag guests received, which included some of Avon ANEW’s latest innovations such as the ANEW Genics treatment cream and the ANEW CLINICAL Resurfacing Expert Smoothing Fluid. Since 1992, Avon has gone onto create several skin care lines under the ANEW umbrella, including Platinum, Ultimate, Rejuvenate, Reversalist, and the latest, Genics, all with effectiveness AND affordability in mind. One of my favorites is the ANEW REJUVENATE 24 Hour Eye Moisturizer SPF 25, which is a dual container with eye cream for day on one side, and one for night on the other — simply genius!
