Celebrity clothing lines are a funny thing – most of the time, not so fashionable. On one of my recent shoppin’ and boppin’ excursions, I came across a celebrity clothing line that was pretty terrific. Sarah Jessica Parker’s Bitten line for Steve and Barry’s. The summer line came out on June 7th, I hit the store on June 9th and many of the smaller sizes were sold out (as a result, I took the clothing off (with help) from 4 mannequins. Normally I’m picky, picky, picky and tend to be a label snob. The older and more fashionably educated that I become, I realize that style is about mixing and matching. That is, mixing lower end with high end. For instance, today I’m wearing a navy blue short sleeve button down (Bitten under $20), Seven Jeans, Tory Burch wedges, and my favorite Fendi Tote. I purchased a tunic from Bitten ($7) that I plan to wear with a Splendid tank, Three Dot leggings, and Chanel ballet flats. Anyway, the Bitten line had great t- shirts, dresses, skirts, and shorts. I’d say that the quality is better than the Gap but a little worse than Banana Republic. I would definitely say to stay away from the Bitten jewelry, handbags and shoes. Why? They look cheap! Also, be careful when you mix and match, make sure that the clothing is of quality or it will cheapen the whole outfit.
Random thoughts
The hot, HOT color for summer is white, the new black dress is white and the hot nail polish color is white as well … when your starving and trying to lose weight splurge on sugar free ice pops (15 calories each) … try wearing all one color you’ll look 10 lbs. thinner … accentuate you best body part … don’t look other women up and down (they know that your doing it) … and pleeeeeease don’t slump, especially if you’re tall (do you know how many women wish they were tall?) … give lots of compliments but only if you mean it … always be the first to say hello.
Until next time…
