Mode Merr's Doll Bras - an 11 on the crazy scale

Filed under: Accessories, Swimwear and Lingerie

WTF?Doll Bras are not bras for your doll. Doll Bras are bras with doll heads surrounded by brightly colored marabou on the cups. It's like wearing little, creepy-yet-playful lions instead of, oh i don't know, a shirt.

Mode Merr must be out of their gone minds. And people don't seem to notice! Click here for a gallery of people wearing faces on their breasts on purpose.

You probably know how we feel about faces on belts.

Faces on breasts?

What will Kim Kardashian wear on Dancing With The Stars?

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style



Rumor has it that curvalicious Kim Kardashian is the next "celebrity" to grace Dancing With The Stars. And if that's true, it completely allays our fears that this wonderful show was about to jump the shark.

First: with whom will they partner this spitfire? Our money is on the equally firey Max Chmerkovskiy, former partner of Mel B., (they were robbed!) and Leila Ali, both ladies with strong personalities.

But the ahem bigger question is what will the rigorous dancing regime to do to Kim's famed posterior? At least we'll get to the bottom of those real or fake rumors.

Love David Yurman but cringe at the price? Get "inspired" instead!

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News


Slightly less reprehensible than stealing from independent designers, designer knock-offs still exist in a moral gray area. While police are cracking down on counterfeit handbag makers and sellers in New York, websites like Finders Keepers openly sell costume jewelry "inspired" by luxury designers like David Yurman and John Hardy.

It seems to us that the line in the sand is whether or not the item is trying to pass as the real thing. That fake Burberry bag might pass muster at the Junior League lunch, but any lady worth her pearls will be able to spot these fake David Yurman pieces a mile away. Two miles away!

Will Renee and George's Leatherheads style influence you?

Filed under: Vintage and Retro, Celebrities with Style

Renee Zellweger and George Clooney have recently been riding the rails for their newest film, Leatherheads. The movie is set in the 1920s, and to go along with the theme, Renee and George have been arriving in dressed in period clothing for each stop on their whistle-stop train tour.

I have to admit, I'm a bit of a sucker for clothing from this period, period. Renee's wardrobe (shown here) is feminine and classy, and George ... well, George looks even more dapper than usual. Sorry, I indulged in a little daydream there. And it was nice.

Anyway, since this season is already showing a number of more conservative, 1960s-inspired styles, what's your opinion of going back a few extra decades?
