Another WTF Outfit

From the Barney's catalog. What's with these shorts? And I don't really care for the blue jacket either.

Who the hell

Would wear these outfits? I meant to blog about this catalog earlier but I never got around to it until now. Normally I love Barney's - and I do like that they often have eclectic stuff. I think in general they are pretty forward thinking in their fashions. But honestly. What man on earth (besides the models in the photo getting paid) would wear these outfits? I mean the suit coat is fine I guess, but suit "shorts" WTF??? and those mandals with it.

On the Fence

I can't really tell about these Prada Bamboo Wedge Sandals @ Barney's. Part of me doesn't like that the pattern on the Bamboo changes - I want a solid pattern - either one is fine. But maybe up close it looks better than what I'm getting from the photo. It looks like the bottom part is cork (which I love in shoes), but the description doesn't mention it at all. These are going to require further inspection at Barney's....

Barney's Sent Me

A "Free Stuff" card that I can use like a gift card. The amount on the card is a percentage of what I spent there last year. Wicked cool right? Well it's only 3%, but still it's free money. Barney's is smart they know getting me back in the store will be beneficial for them - because shoes are my heroin. I need my fix and I need it now.

However, they are making me call to activate the damn card and I've been on hold for 20 minutes WTF. I'm happy for the free money - which I will gladly spend there, but why make me wait on hold to activate it with a representative? This is the one time I'm happy NOT to talk to a representative, I just want the automated 'yes it's all set' call.

Whatever. It's done. Let's go shopping!! There are a pair of hot pink patent leather Jimmy Choos with my name on them. I'm coming sugar - hold on a few more hours!!!

Cute AND Affordable!

Wow! I think this is the cheapest article of clothing I've ever seen at Barney's! And it's super cute. The price I'm sure is reflective of the fact that the shirt is 100% poly, but it's perfect for the holidays... new years... who knows...



And I didn't know Kate Moss was now designing clothes? Where have I been?

I love Barneys

Barneys always has the most eclectic stuff. I feel like I find things there no other store has. And it's usually cool.

And they aren't afraid to take risks like with window displays at Christmas and their catalogs - the "Andy Warholidays" last year - which honestly was a stretch - Yet intriguing at the same time. And it seems they sell up and coming designers - which seems like a risk for a store... But what do I know? I just know it’s usually pretty interesting.

Their catalogs always have the coolest stuff. Now on my salary I can only dream about the 'main floor' clothes and have to shop at the Co-OP... But the shoes - it's like an addiction – I buy all levels of shoes. I don't do heroin. I do shoes.

Like this Versace jacket from the main floor. OMG I love it. It's like a little bell. I'm sure it feels fabulous too. It’s just gorgeous. But it's 5 grand. I just can't spend that :( I wish I could. I need a raise. Maybe it will be on a sale rack at the end of the season, but that’s doubtful – it’s too cute.

and the shoes aren't bad either.. In fact the shoes I do want are by Lanvin. They are super cute, super shiny patent leather. Too high to be comfortable, but who cares when they are this cute??? But the price is steep. $1005 - why the $5? couldn't they round it to $1000 I mean if I am already spending one thousand dollars on a pair of shoes I guess I don't care about the 5 bucks, but that's at least a latte somewhere. The little pic doesn't even do these justice the catalog is like 14"x17" and the shoes looks so much shinier and prettier that big.
