SUPER Cute Blue Wedges At ModCloth!

($99, 80%20, Modcloth.com)

No reason. Just super cute 80%20 cork wedges the color of rain from my favey faves, Modcloth. Also, have you NOTICED how effin' cute their website is lately? I don't even work for them, I have no vested interest in them. Just pointing out/ applauding cuteness as I see it!

Cutest Lil Ballet Flats For Your Wedding, No?

($119.50, Maloles, Barneys)

Fully wackadoo that these Beatrix Lace Maloles ballet flats were originally $340, but I can handle them at $119 for sher. Perfectly perfect for you ladies looking for flats for your special DAAAAAAAY. I love how they're sorta little-girl-cute, sorta Madonna.

Binge Impulse Buy! Perfume Shirt, Peacock Necklace

So, I've had an absolutely CRAPTASTIC couple of days. Wah wah wah wah, call the wambulance. I effed my back and ended up at the doctor (Dr. Busey, as I like to call him, because he totally has Gary's chompers), with all sorts of needles up in my shit, and my hand's all fucked up too. WORST. Then I got home yesterday and my neighbor's toilet overflowed, which wouldn't have been so bad if it HADN'T OVERFLOWED INTO MY BATHROOM. It was raining both OUTSIDE AND inside -- in my God damned bathroom. AWESOME.

So, when I wasn't downing painkillers, I indulged in some MUCH-needed e-tail therapy.

($68, Joyrich, Kitson)

I have NO idea why. It was just a good idea at the time. (Same with that sugar-packed Starbucks McSugar Shake thing I had yesterday after the doctor's office, where they also did some nerve testing where they taped all these electrodes onto my legs and flipped the switch and electrocuted me like I was like fucking Jeffrey Dahmer. Well, that's not how he died, but you get my point.) Oh, but promo code "Kitsoncode" saved me 10%. WOOT!

($7.99, Charlotte Russe)

I HAAAATE leather cords, but it's got PEACOCK feathers attached, so the choice was obvious. Free shipping with Charlotte Russe promo code: "AFFFS."

BTW, Charlotte Russe has some really cute stuff coming up for fall. It's funny -- EVERYONE is scrambling to keep up with Topshop. Be on the lookout for some definitely cute jeans and jackets -- but they're like Topshop prices too at $99-ish. Worth it? You tell me. I only have this peacock necklace to go by.

Someone, save me.

Bikini Binge! Two By Tara Matthews

... And of COURSE, one's a peacock bikini! Normally THIS many sequins would make me a bit queasy (exceptions made for sequin jackets though), but the colors are gorgeous. Aside from the fact that I'm more of a one-piece girl these days (errr... they're more elongating? That's it...), AND that I ain't seen the sandy side of a beach in a year, the $400 ticket deters, but it's still nice to looky.

($400, Tara Matthews, Net-a-porter.com)

I really like the cut of the bottoms too. Not skanksville at all.

($370, Tara Matthews, Net-a-Porter.com)

Also super cute. The birdies are kinda Esther Williams, but the bright turquoise is super now.

Binge Lust: Tarina Tarantino Electric KoolAid Bib Necklace + Tarina Tarantino In-Store Event In NYC Saturday July 25

($740, Tarina Tarantino)

I fully endorse EVERY single piece of Tarina Tarantino's Electric Kool-Aid collection, but her bib necklace is the standout. This piece is like tasting every color of the rainbow -- like doing acid, minus the nasty flashblacks and 40-pound spiders crawling up your face! Win!

Oh yeah, and check out her subtle but stunning, wedding-worthy 1930s Art Deco Lucite drop earrings, which come in a handful of flavors. If they matched my wedding dress, I'd absolutely wear these day ofs.

($55, Tarina Tarantino)

ALSO, if you're in NYC, stop by the Soho store TOMORROW -- Saturday, July, 25 for Tarina's book signing!

FINALLY, THANK YOU, Sparkle Factory, for the FashionBinge shoutout! RAWX!

Mama Want: Eley Kishimoto Striped Heels

AGHH! LOVE these Eley Kishimoto striped D'Orsay heels. They're like the color of a gay field mouse. I'd wear the pants off these shoes. Seriously.

($216, Eley Kishimoto, Yoox.com)

Oh, I DO have to say though, I recently ordered a pair of SIIIICK, like SWINE FLU sick potential wedding-dress-heels from Yoox, and tax and shipping were like a ZILLION dollars. They were $200 shoes, but still. Boo!

Lust Life: Loeffler Randall Studded Wedges

($200, Loeffler Randall, Footcandyshoes.com)

Sigh. It's probably for the best that these baby blue Loeffer Randall studded wedges are sold out in my all-too-common size.

That said, I'm still gonna go ahead and dedicate "Catch Me I'm Falling" -- one of my FAVORITE Freestyle R&B songs -- to them:

Leather Bridal Bracelets -- Because You Just Don't See Enough Of Those

($107, Littmack, Manjoh.com)

ZOMG I love these soft leather embroidered Littmarck bracelets. The grey one is wedding-able, no?

($55, Day Birger et Mikkelsen, Manjoh.com)

Also, speaking of Manjoh, uh, this Day Birger et Mikkelsen necklace is on cuckoo sale. Ahhh! #linebetweenwantsandneedssteadilyblurring

I Would Step Over Your Mother For This Arielle de Pinto Necklace

($238, Arielle de Pinto, CreaturesofComfort)

I would seriously step over your mother or push your grandma in front of a bike messenger for this mixed-media necklace by Montreal designer Arielle de Pinto. There is no way in FUCK I could make it -- she crotchets metal (!??!), and the little ceramic triangles are hand-painted. I want this so bad it hurts.

Check out more Arielle de Pinto pieces at lambsearshoes.com and No6store.com.

YES, Please: VPL Dress

($275, VPL, Shopbop.com)

I own no VPL. Nor do I own any YSL for matter, but I always admire the bondage-meets-ballerina aesthetic of VPL and, in the case of this "Breaker" dress, their use of not-boring neutrals. Want.

NORDSTROM RACK IS COMING TO NEW YORK CITY!

CLAP YOUR HANDS AND SAY FUCK YEAH! NORDSTROM RACK IS COMING TO NEW YORK! Nordstrom Rack will be moving into the former Virgin Megastore space in the Spring of 2010. I haven't been this excited since the Golden Girls spun off Empty Nest. Which ended up being pretty disappointing, but it started off promising.

Speaking of "golden," Nordstrom Rack is a GOLD MINE of jeans and shoes. Get fumiliur!

Crazy Couture, Sequin Welding Mask, Or Both?

Because for a second there, I thought you were serious...

($337, Sophie Hulme, Pixiemarket.com)

Mary Katrantzou Surreal Trompe L'oeil Dress

($595, Mary Katrantzou, farfetch.com)

I have NO fucking idea what exactly is going on. Is it human? Dancer? Photo? X-ray? Sexy robot? Will it hurt? Will it hurt a lot? I don't know. I just know I want in. I also kind of want to see it on an actual body. Preferably my own.

+ Like this? Check out Tsumori Chisato.

Speaking of robotics, this kind of reminds me of the dress version of one of my FAVORITE songs of the past year -- Robyn and Royksopp's "The Girl And The Robot."

Marc By Marc Jacobs Grey And Green Boots

($490, Marc By Marc Jacobs, Yoox.com)

I know these Marc By Marc Jacobs grey leather boots are sorta wackadoo, but I love them so much I'd sleep in and/or WITH them. The only thing that would make them better is if they had an actual fish inside, like the pimp shoes in I'm Gonna Get You Sucka.

Stone! Cold! Robert Clergerie Killers!

Recently I've been looking for shoes to get married in, but I just found these Robert Clergerie "Fosca" platforms, and I'm pretty confident I'd ACTUALLY MARRY THEM.

($476.98, Robert Clergerie, Amazon.com)

I'd pretty much just put them on my table and stare at them while I ate breakfast. Who am I kidding? I never eat breakfast, and when I do, it's on the couch.

The Most Perfect Patent White Wedding Heels

($55, Nadia Grilli, Yoox.com)

Remember when Jermaine Stewart said "We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off (To Have A Good Time")? Well, that was definitely the type of lie boys tell because they want to take off their clothes with other boys. But you most certainly do not have to spend the equivalent of a down payment on a new car to get a pair of perfect shoes for your wedding, mkay? If these patent white peep-toe pumps made any sort of sense with my dress, they'd be mine mine mine. Maybe they're perfect for you?

No, Thank YOU, Seychelles Thank You Note Taupe Heels

($92, Seychelles, JBAndMe.com)

Presently I'm wearing these wonderful Seychelles "Thank You Note" taupe slingback heels, and I could WEEP they're so cute and comfy. They're cute and remind me a bit of the old-school "house shoes" my grandma always wore. Also, how cute am I -- I'm wearing them to a bridal shower. Get it? "Thank You Note"? HEE! I'm a freaking genius sometimes. Also, JBAndMe items always smell like fresh laundry when they arrive. They're wonderful people.

Seriously, Seychelles "Thank You Note" -- heaven sent.

Lisa K: The Perfect Gold Heart Necklace

If this were just a regular little gold heart on a chain I'd probably be so bored I'd be falling asleep into my keyboard and end up with little imprints of the home keys all up in my cheeks. But I LOVE the little baby heart and the hammered mama heart (kinda like my own mama, who was always hammered -- JUST KIDDING, MA! You KNOW you can't hold your alcohol!) and the delicate little pearl accents.

($80, Lisa K, Badjoan.com)

Win A Bike From Topshop!

Wanna win a bike? Topshop and Chictopia are giving away a bunch of bikes to people deemed cute enough to DESERVE one!

Just upload a photo of yourself wearing something cute-ish on your bike (maybe if your outfit is awesome but your bike totally sucks you'll have a better shot at winning) here at Chictopia by July 17, and that sweet bike right thur could be YOURS!

Here's my entry... JEAL-ASS?

Marc By Marc Jacobs USA Beach Bag

Not that I even KNOW from a beach these days, and seriously, if I see ONE MORE FUCKING FACEBOOK UPDATE about how you can't WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIT for your effing trip to Cabo Wabo or Sea World or Seven Flags or the beaches of Beantown or P-town or the Emerald Isle or whatever I will probably not be able to restrain myself and I will probably punch you. It probably won't hurt, and I'll probably be really because it's really immature, but still. What I'm trying to say is that A VACATION WOULD BE REALLY NICE! ONE THAT DOESN'T INVOLVE A WEDDING, FAMILY, OBLIGATIONS, OR SPENDING MY OWN MONEY. Not that weddings and family aren't nice. They are. But if someone wanted to give me a trip to somewhere with a beach and a bucket of Freeze Pops, that'd be fanfuckingtastic. I wouldn't know Montauk if it knocked on my door and evicted me.

Now what was I saying before I let out some pent-up aggression in an inappropriate setting? OH YEAH! Just that this vintage-inspired Marc by Marc Jacobs USA Tote is really cute. NOT THAT I HAVE ANYWHERE TO BRING IT.

($18, Marc By Marc Jacobs)

McQ Lace Panel Dress Is Doing Shit To My Head

($92, McQ, theOutnet.com)

I can't even begin to tell you the nasty things this grey and hot pink lace McQ dress is whispering to me. They're BAD. Things I've never even heard of or thought about doing. But I'm thinking of doing them. It's BAD. I'm hooked... Also, I have to keep reminding myself that I'M. NOT. WEALTHY. WHY DO I KEEP FORGETTING THAT? Seriously, this McQ dress is BREAKING DOWN MY RESOLVE.

theOutnet.com's Shoe Collection Is Giving Me Inappropriate Urges

Seriously, I'm getting tingly... now the tingling is turning to numbness. I may or may not be blacking out. Isn't this how Michael Hutchence died?

($232, Bally, theoutnet.com)

Gahhhh these silver Bally heels so have my name on them. Unfortunately, my credit cards have my name on them too.

($532, Christian Louboutin, theoutnet.com)

Usually I don't freak out and make a total jackass out of myself and act all like OMFG SEX AND THE CITY IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE AND I NEED JIMMY CHOOS AND LOUBOUTINS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT CARRIE BRADSHAW WORE AND OUR LIVES ARE SOOOOOO ALIKE BECAUSE WE BOTH LIKE BOYS AND HAVE GIRL FRIENDS AND LIKE CLOTHES AND LAPTOPS and shit over Louboutins, but these Prive Louboutins are spesh.

Binge Bag: Life With Bird Bag

($130, Life With Bird, Refinery29.com)

Granted, I need a new bag like Park Slope needs another Maclaren, but if I were in the market for a superfluous new bag, I'd go with this very '80s geometrical tote. Geotote! Actually, I COULD use it as a gym bag for my new CrossFit habit. And yes, I've read the Times piece.

Topshop's Answer To The Michael Jackson Jacket!

After my unfortunate stumble upon that tie dye/ airbrushed jeans monstrosity from Topshop earlier this week, my faith was restored when I discovered what I'm POSITIVE is Topshop's updated take on the classic red 1980s Michael Jackson jacket.

($160, Topshop)

Actually, it kinda looks more like Liza Minnelli jacket, but let's not be picky.

+ More sequin jackets I love.

Oh yeah, I saw on the "news" that Michael Jackson had an all-sequin bedspread. Vom. Also, I had a cornflower blue all-poly fake MJ jacket back in the day, haters. And I went to Israel when I was little and my parents bought me this peach-colored shirt with Michael on it. It was DOPE on a ROPE and I WISH I had an adult-sized one now. Boo.

I Bought It Files: Vera Wang For Kohl's Multi-Strand Necklace

As much as I love Vera Wang's jewelry, this real-deal necklace is $1,250 at Saks.

Solution? Simply Vera -- Vera Wang For Kohl's!

($28.80, Kohl's)

I'm wearing it right now as I type this. I love the little faceted discs and box chain. And it's actually made pretty well and looks rad against a black t-shirt. Also, I feel like I saved $1221.20! See how good I am at saving money?

Speaking of money, have you donated to my Avon Breast Cancer Walk?

I'm Doing The Avon 3-Day Walk For Breast Cancer! Wanna Donate? Wanna Buy Shoes?

DOODS! I am doing the Avon 3-Day Walk for (against, really) Breast Cancer in New York in October. 39 miles, 3 days, rain or shine -- hopefully shine.

Chances are you either HAVE boobs or KNOW someone who has them or BOTH! So, wanna give me money? Donate here http://walk.avonfoundation.org/goto/tamar

And/or, if you're the type of person who needs AN INCENTIVE, which is fine, I'm selling these FUCKING AWESOME vintage heels and putting the $ into my fund!




They're a size 8M but would fit a large 7 or a 7.5 best. They're J. Renee and look pretty much unworn (I bought them online and they didn't fit. Wah!)
3" heel with amazing gold hardware on toe and heel and metallic animal print squigglies against black material.

The bottoms are marked $56.00 from a previous resale shop, but I'm selling them for $32.00 -- most of that will go straight into my Avon Breast Cancer Walk fund (with the exception of shipping bucks.)

Want 'em? First person to email me at tamron at gmail dot com gets them! (US only pleeeeze!)

WTF Files: Tie-dye Jeans At Topshop

($90, Topshop)

Topshop, I love you, but you're killing me. Also, these don't look tie-dyed. They look airbrushed. But why split hairs? They also look like the miserable, previously unthinkable combination of Mariah Carey's "Rainbow" album cover and an acid trip at Coney Island. Also, I PRAY that the term "tie-dye jeans" is both an oxymoron and one that I'll never hear again. Ever.

In terms of the lesser of two evils, which is better/ worse -- these or the Cheap Monday polka dot jeans I found?

(I won't lie though. I do fucking LOVE "Heartbreaker.")

This Luella Elsie Schoolgirl Dress Is Summertime In The Form Of A Dress

($226, Luella, Lagarconne.com)

I want to LIVE in this cheery little purple and orange gingham Luella day dress. How can I make that happen?

Also, it's the dress equivalent of The Sundays' song, "Summertime" and Jane's Addiction's "Summertime Rolls."

Ann Demeulemeester, You Do Not Get To Do This!

No no NO! Just like you don't get to be an Oxford/gladiator, you also do NOT get to be a high-heeled boot AND a gladiator! WITH a heel. YOU JUST DON'T. Even more baffling than this horrendous hybrid is the fact that it's SOLD OUT!
