Calvin Klein's Tamar Heels Are Obviously Named

($222.75, Calvin Klein, Bloomingdale's)

These Calvin Klein block heels are named "Tamar"!! Just like me! And they're on sale. I love sales! Aw Calvin. You really shouldn't have.

Oh, Ombré...

Remember last year when I drooled over that Anthropologie ombre trench coat? Well, temptation rears its head again, this time at Wilson's Leather. Perfect for spring!



Calvin Klein ombré trench coat, on sale for $79.99 (down from $250!). Check out the awesome lining, too:



I think I'm gonna pass, since I'm trying to save money for, oh, EVERYTHING wedding-related (and plus I have a trench that I get lots of compliments on), but someone out there should totally get this. Right?

Hold The Phone ... And Your Nose... CK One Is Back!

French roll your relaxed fit jeans, spray up those bang rolls, bust out those Coke Classic rugby shirts, and mark your calendars because CK One is coming BACK! Srsly! January 20 is gonna be a historical day and NOT just because the Obamas are gonna paint the White House black. But because CK One -- AKA eau de '90s -- is gettin' reborned with a brand-new marketing campaign, including print ads shot by Steven Meisel (gotta at least give it that!), and a new soundtrack by British artist Jamie Burke. And you get speakers too. You laugh, but that shit sells like WOAH abroad. Also, look for an all-over body spray that comes with an oversize pump, for dat extra stank.

WWD has more on CK One redux.

+ In even more shocking '90s news Malibu Musk is STILL IN PRODUCTION!

+ Suggested purchasing: Let's Paint the '90s Coloring Book!

And speaking (highly!) of my favies at Fred Flare, make a Valentine for 'em, why doncha? It's for charity!

Big Ol' Calvin Klein Sale!

Nothing comes between me and my...oh wait, I hardly ever purchase anything by Calvin Klein. Maybe it's the stigma that comes with seeing his jackets in disarray at Marshall's (yes, I go there, and will again!). But this redonkulous sale is something I can't deny. Would you believe 40 percent off everything sitewide, plus an additional 10 percent off with coupon code EEQ1L48 and free shipping with purchases over $50? I would purchase the following snazzy pieces if I weren't desperately trying to think of other people and not spend all my hard-earned Christmas-gifting money.



Lurex waffle sweater, was $128, $69.12 after discounts. Take classic schlubwear (a waffle-knit thermal) and give it a cool shape and some metallic threading? Chicness follows!



Pleated-back top, was $48, now $25.92. Noice, no? Bizness in the front...



...paaaartay in the back!



Tweed funnel-neck jacket, $90.72 down from $168 after discounts. If you don't mind layering a short-sleeved jacket over longer sleeves, which I in fact DO. It's winter! We need long sleeves! Why is this hard?



Graphic-print dress, was $168, $90.72 after savings. Love this print.





Knot-back dress, was the magic number of $168, but you can get it for...you guessed it, $90.72. Very sleek and perfect for a holiday cocktail party.



Finally we have a sweet-ass bag. The "Caelyn" satchel was $268 before discounts, is $144.72 after. I'm loving the luxe purple leather of this, not so much the Calvin Klein logo. Am I right or am I right?

Calvin Klein's Secret Obsession: Not So Secret, Actually When You Spray It Like Ten Times In A Row. Oops.

The friendly folks in charge of Calvin Klein's fragrance PR sent me over an advance of the new Secret Obsession fragrance -- the one Eva Mendes went nudie for and then the pilgrims over at FCC Puritan HQ got all Victorian on us and banned that commercial, probs because it reminded them of the sex they weren't having.

Anyway, Secret Obsession is STRONG, people. Because a lot of the fragrances I prefer tend to be sorta weak, I tend to spritz more than a few times. Bad idea. I nearly suffocated myself and my houseguests after I sprayed this one like six or seven times. This is a seriously musky, mysterious (hence "SECRET") fragrance, so be forewarned: just a dab'll do ya, kay?

It evokes a very glam, old Hollywood, sorta Cheetah Club, late-1950's feeling (I've been watching a ton of Mad Men -- think Christina Hendricks as Joan Holloway). Very musky and erotic, with very strong notes of orange, jasmine and mucho tuberose, very seductive, nighttime fragrance. Don't wear this to high holiday services, okay, or else you'll have lots more repenting to do.

Check out Mimi Mimi Frou Frou's highly sophisticado review of the fragrance.

It's available in 1 oz, 1.7 oz and 3.4 oz sizes, and honestly, I'd probably recommend the smallest size because a little goes a LONG way here, ladies.

Nautica's Log Cabin Republican Look!

Poor Garrett Neff. The face of CK, seen usually in not much of much, was sent down the Nautica men's runway looking like a buffer Prince William dressed as an ice-fishing lumberjack superhero on his way to Bang Bang.


It-guy Simon Nessman (at Perry Ellis) and more hot dudes who don't look like even the hottest real-life guy I know, here:

I Do... Want These Dresses

A few of you have been up in arms and legs about what to wear to upcoming weddings. Well, fear not, Binge-oids. I've been hording some absolutely gorgeous frocks, some affordable, and, again, many definitely not! Here's the first out of a series of two. This batch: the fancier ones:



($750, 3.1 By Phillip Lim, Bigdropnyc.com)
Completely beautiful, completely out of my price range. I'm consoled though, by the fact that I don't really like the bottom hem.



($629, Sofira, CoutureCandy.com)
I absolutely love this, and I am consoled by nothing. Boooo.



($360, Kay Unger, Saks)
Cuter than a flannel pillowcase with an all-over candycane print, and then you open up the pillowcase and look inside and it's filled with fuzzy, fluffy wide-eyed kittens mewing sweetly.



($340, Mara Hoffman, Shopfrock.com)
Would look gorgeous with some gold sandals wif heels.



($277, Calvin Klein, Saks)
Muy elegante. You'll look less trashy when you get wasted before the reception if you're wearing this deceptively elegant dress. (Hey, it's called a cocktail dress and a cocktail hour for a REASON!)



($136, Betsey Johnson, Overstock)
Okay, a few times this week, I came DANGEROUSLY close to almost ordering this to wear to a wedding in June. The couple is super cool and super not-stuffy and non-traditional, so this would be perfect. BUT when I showed it to a different friend, also a non stuffy person, she asked if, in all seriousness, I was having an early mid-life crisis. I'm not even 30, for Pete Wentz's sake! Anyway, if there's ANYONE who could pull off wearing this to a wedding, I think it's ME! I also think I might order it JUST to SPITE her! Because I'm just that sorta person!



($128, Betsy & Adam, Saks)
Since I've got a lotta red tones in my skin, I almost never wear red. But, if you can pull it off, this is totally adorbs.



($64, Max & Cleo, Overstock)
I usually don't LOOOOVE dots, but these look really subtle, and I like the cut and color -- sorta '40s. You might have to have zero curves to wear this, but if that's you, yay! Get it!


Byeee!
