BHLDN HAIR: FAIL

Thanks to a lovely FYA reader, the following was brought to my attention: BHLDN failed so hard when it came to hair styles to sell…wait for it….HAIR ADORNMENTS. Wispies are one thing. This is quite another. FAIL! Stegosaurus much? FAIL! Get a brush. FAIL! It looks like she has a second head growing out of her neck. FAIL! Feathers are fine. But, this looks like a bird...

AND IT'S UP! BHLDN AWAY, LADIES!

The new wedding e-commerce site BHLDN.com from Anthropologie, is now up and running. BUY BUY BUY! It’s definitely worth checking out if you’re in the marriage market - if for nothing else than some cute ideas and colors. The wedding gowns aren’t horribly expensive and in the grand scheme of wedding price absurdness, the event dresses aren’t too bad either. WAAAAIIIIT A...

Cleopatra Kardashian?

Kim Kardashian is styled like Cleopatra in next month’s Harper’s Bazaar magazine. Wonder whether they took these shots before or after the Egypt protests erupted. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm….What do you think Mr. Squirrelsworth?

As most of you may know, our beloved Anthro has finally gotten wise to the crazy bridal industry and is starting up a new wedding website called….dumdeedum!….BHLDN! Weird name, we agree. Either way, here at FYA, we’re actually quite interested to see how well they pull it off. First and foremost, the price point is what initially scared us most. With the prices of their normal...

Twisted Tuesday: Candyland's Gift Guide for Vogue

Candy Pratts Price’s Vogue Gift Guide. It starts with a $1600 pair of Manolo’s. I got to #11 and had to stop and share this ridiculousness…as #11 is a $40,000 PERFUME BOTTLE. Who is Candy Pratts Price? Right. She used to be a big boss at Style.com and is now a big boss at Vogue.com. Here is a pic so you can have a face to the name: Anywhoodle. Happy Twisted Tuesday!

Wee People at Free People

From Dodai Stewart at Jezebel. “Someone is not happy to be modeling, and really actually kind of pissed that her teddy bear was turned into boots.” Hilarious. -JH

Thursdays are for Kitties!

One of our fave sites, Refinery 29, is giving away 12 of United Bamboo’s Kitty Calendars. Fashion and cats are pretty much the best (OBViously). The worst is that these calendars are like $50—and by ‘like’ I mean, ARE $50. To get in on the fashion cat giveaway, head to R29’s Facebook page and submit your most fashionable kitty pic. Huge proponents of all things...

Now see that $128.00 in your pocket? Well kiss it goodbye if you wanna take this item home with you. Wishing Well Ice Bucket: A pail of your favorite wine or bubbly is yours to fetch, with this handpainted chiller, made of heavy-duty stoneware. This is a woooooonderful item. You can amaze your friends by putting ice in it! Plus you can totally trick them into thinking...

Urban Outfitters' craptastic new logo just a...

Yep. This is for real, folks. As much as I’d like to tell you that I actually shat this out with my eyes closed using Microsoft Word’s “Word Art” feature, I’m afraid I cannot. It’s the new logo that now adorns Urban Outfitters’ web site and news of this travesty is being disseminated across the Interwebs faster than an...

Barney's, this stinks.

I’m sitting here at my computer, literally speechless. I have no idea what Barney’s was thinking with this. Cabbage and foil? Those aren’t even the worst! It’s an octopus! ON HER HEAD! She’s got…crabs? (Insert eye-roll, nose flare and grimaced face.) So, this catalog does none of the following: 1) Make me want to purchase a damn thing. 2) Make me...
