Stupid Things Lindsay Lohan Has Done This Week

I thought if we broke this topic up in to weekly segments, it might be a bit more manageable. Don't want to write an entire novel for a single post.

Two particularly stupid things this week: #1., ...and I quote, "At some point, I want to adopt a kid - a child in need or a newborn from another country." Note to children in need and newborns in other countries...run, run as fast as you can. Hide, do not come out no matter what they promise you. If you are unable to run due to being a child in need or a newborn...crawl, crawl as fast as you can and hide. If an American with large sunglasses approaches, that is the time to take the cyanide pill, I've hidden one in each of your pacifier handles for emergencies. Idiocy #2, Lindsay Lohan is starting her own line of...wait for it...here it comes...leggings! Yes, leggings. My favorite pair has knee pads built in, literally. How appropriate is that? They cost $132.00...for leggings...with knee pads...designed by Lindsay Lohan. Another "gem" of a pair of leggings is metallic...that's right...metallic leggings... that cost $99.00...designed by Lindsay Lohan. If anyone knows the number to Hell, call and let me know if it's frozen over or not.

By the by, I will be launching my own line of scrunchies in the Spring. They will cost ten million dollars each. I am currently taking orders.

Molly McDonald Designs

I wanted to post some of my favorite artwork from an upcoming artist, Molly McDonald. She works with lots of technological art things that I don't really understand but I do know that the results are fabulous! I do understand the photography and pen drawing...but that is the extent of my artistic repertoire...cameras and ball point pens! I leave the technical stuff to the professionals.

Her prints are currently available at http://www.mollyannmc.deviantart.com/

She also does custom work...oh, to have the money to patronize an artist...one day! Fingers crossed that a smart gallery will show her work and help get her name out there...she rocks!

Sara Claire & Esther..."Vintage Reimagined"

Here's the inside scoop on a fabulous new fashion line that will be debuting Spring 2009...Sara Claire & Esther. Owners Aimee Wolk and Sara Jordan couple gorgeous materials and design with vintage and trend to create gorgeous pieces with a distinctly lady-like touch. The line features one of a kind pieces highlighted by vintage fabrics and trim and other vintage goodies like buttons. Um, yummy! Aimee and Sara met at Auburn University (Alabama fabulousness!) and have interned or worked in design, merchandising and/or marketing for awesome designers such as Donna Karan, Dara Lamb, the Swatch Group, Rebecca Taylor, Walter Baker, and Tibi. Anyone gaining experience working with Rebecca Taylor is OK by me!

Who is the target client for SC&E? Straight from the fabulous and beautiful horses mouth, "The Sara Claire & Esther brand inspires confidence in classy girls who grew up loving tea parties and playing dress up. Today this girl has grown into the lady who still loves dressing up and feeling beautiful. She adores pearls, lace, romance and getting recognized for her gorgeous attire. She appreciates fine quality and detail, and regularly updates her wardrobe with flirty and tasteful pieces. " Wow, I like the SC&E lady, she sounds like me!

The Spring 2009 collection was inspired by the owner's grandmother's experiences during the 1940's in the South (I'll say that's fabulous!). Pencil skirts, men's oxford shirts reimagined with feminine details, black and white with a touch of gold and the palest of greens appear throughout the collection. The line is SO delicious. I can't wait to see what's ahead for SC&E. Pieces will be available at boutiques beginning in Spring 2009. I'm sure I will follow with more specifics as the time approaches so we can all get out there and buy our favorite pieces ASAP. I already know my favorites for the upcoming season...the First Lady Dress and the Blockade Blouse, could those names be cuter?!

Shoe News!

Sigerson Morrison is going to have a line of shoes at Target from October 12-December 26. The choices are FABULOUS! These are a preview...YUMMY!

Here is why I love Designers for Target and why you should too. Sigerson Morrison's "real" shoes run from around $250 to way over a thousand dollars. I don't have $250 to spend on shoes right now so, obviously, out of luck there. Morrison's lines have trendy pieces mixed with classic ones, I'm hoping that is what the Target collection will offer too. I'll update as I critique the collection.

Even though I'm sure these shoes will be uncomfortable and last only a few months (that seems to be the running theme of shoes bought at Target) they are cheap enough that I won't have to mortgage my house or sell prized belongings on Ebay for repentance that I bought them then proceeded to tear them up. These babies are only $29.99-$39.99, how awesome and ridiculous is that?!

Thank you Target. Thank you for not being Wal-mart but, most importantly, thank you for conning big name designers to make clothes, shoes, and makeup for you and selling them to me.
