Six-Figure Dress? Daaang

Filed Under clothes | Leave a Comment

So, apparently the sheer dress that Kate Middleton was wearing when she made Prince William fall in love with her is worth something like 150 grand. Hmmm…

First of all, it’s sheer. That’s a fancy way of saying see-through. If I’m going to spend that much (as if I have that much) on a dress, I would hope it would at least serve the most basic function of clothing which is to cover me up!

Maybe I’m just bitter cause I can’t afford it. Actually, I could have afforded it. Apparently the original price was like under $50.

Sandals with a Purpose

Filed Under trends | Leave a Comment

What do your sandals do? I mean, other than take up room in your closet and make that noise when you walk? Probably not much. Do they help you get drunk?? Doubt it!

What would you say if I told you that you can get a pair of sandals that will help you in your quest to get drunk? Well, that’s exactly what bottle opener sandals can do for you.

How many times have you been stuck with a non-twist-off beer and no bottle opener in sight? Then you have to try to make do by doing dangerous stuff like wedging it inside a cabinet. This sort of improvisation has been responsible for the chipping of furniture all over the world for many, many years. Finally, it looks like we have a reasonable solution.

Imagine how impressed and relieved your friends will be when you turn up your flip flop to reveal the built-in bottle opener. You will instantly become the life of the party, guaranteed (*not a guarantee).

The most popular brand is Reef, who I believe started this whole genius idea, but there are also other brands that are now making sandals with built-in bottle openers.

What’s next? Underwear that can grate cheese? Tube socks that can defragment your hard drive? The sky is the limit, as far as I’m concerned. Can’t wait to see what other wonders the near future holds.

PS, these things make AWESOME stocking stuffers. Or just plain old gifts for your favorite fashion bloggers. Ahem.

What Happened to Victoria Beckham’s Rock and Republic Jeans?

Filed Under Celebrities, clothes, jeans | Leave a Comment

You know the ones I’m talking about! The Rock and Republic jeans with the fancy crown in the back. Sometimes it was pink….sometimes it was RHINESTONED.

Well, you can still find them if you really look hard enough. Ebay is an obvious place, but you can also sometimes find them in secondhand shops (if you know where to look). So, why did they stop producing them?

Well, apparently the people at Rock and Republic got fed up with Victoria Beckham’s antics, so they parted ways. There were reports of her contributing very little to the partnership, aside from the “DVB” logo and an occasional public appearance. But seriously, how hard did they expect her to work? It was her name that was selling the product, anyway, right?

Anyway, all hope is not lost. Victoria has been pushing forward with her very own line of designer jeans called Denim by Victoria Beckham. These new and improved Beckham jeans are her own designs, not a collaboration like the jeans she produced with R+R. There are some similarities, but you can tell this is a different line for sure. For one, Rock and Republic fought for control of the crown logo and won, so you won’t see that infamous crown on any pairs of DVB (Denim by Victoria Beckham, for short) jeans.

You can find more info about these jeans as well as everything else Mrs. Beckham is cooking up on her website.

No word yet on the next Spice Girls reunion tour. We’ll let you know as soon as we know! =)
