It’s that time of the month…
…when I get ready to analyze monthly retail sales numbers on Fox Business!! If you are near a TV, tune in between 1- 2pm. I really don’t expect the consumer to have spent very much of anything in July, but I am hoping to be pleasantly surprised by the numbers tomorrow.
Not sure how I feel about this one.
Hmm. I love any sort of music/ fashion collaboration. I really do. That’s why I’m not sure what to think of the new Kurt Cobain Converse. My lovely neighbor came over yesterday sporting these sneakers which looked totally cute on. On the chucks are Cobain’s infamous scribbles and words which are amazing to see- BUT on a pair of Converse?? I always thought Nirvana was a little bit of a sell out for a grunge quasi “punk” band, but isn’t this TOTALLY selling out?? Does Courtney Love need the money that badly? P.S. these kicks are on back order so if you want a pair you are gonna have to wait a month or so…
My intern!!
There is a God and he sent me Emma the best intern anyone could ask for. She’s brilliant, works hard and has great music taste, oh and deals with my insanity in the most gracious way ever. Amazing!
Just got back from Paris.
In case you all were wondering what happened to me. It was freezing (55 degrees at night at 70 during the day) but AMAZING and I have a ton of pictures to prove it. Will upload them as soon as I get over this jet lag!!
Clarification: Steve and Barry’s
A frequent reader pointed out how he thinks I made a mistake by saying Steve and Barry’s revenues were increased by not spending money on marketing. He thought I meant earnings so I want to clarify.
Dear reader:
This was not me speculating on how Steve and Barry’s made their cash, this was a quote from the chief executive when I spoke with him. You say,”You can’t increase revenue by not advertising- revenue is sales. You can only increase profit by cutting expenses.” I agree with you, but I’m directly quoting from the source that prob. knows his business best… or at least it seemed like he knew his business best when I spoke to him last year. Hope that helps.
XO, Hitha
Would you wear this??
Gorgeous pictures, right? This is from a Vogue Italia shoot in 2007. Notice what the model is wearing on her head though- it’s an Amish bonnet. Yeah- a real one! The other day I was on Fox Business talking about polygamist style. Turns out those enterprising women out in Colorado City created a web site so people can purchase FLDS (Fundamentalist Church of Later Day Saints) approved children’s clothes. They are shipping all over the country to places like California, New York and Arizona. There are about 10 women putting together the clothes now, but if demand increases they will add more peeps to the work force. How much do you wanna bet we see those long dresses and gibson girl hair on the runway next Feb??
A tribute.

The best thing about SATC is Patricia Field.
Ok ok ok. My patience is definitely wearing thin on all the Sex and the City craziness, but there is one thing that still makes me happy about franchise and that is Patricia Field. Some may argue that her genius is what makes the movie and I would have to agree with them. Not only is Patricia Field the costume designer and stylist that put together all of those looks for Carrie Bradshaw and Co., she is also a fierce business woman. She came out with her own line of shoes for Payless all priced between $25-$35. AND she has plans for more brand extension abroad!! Just brilliant.
I think we were talking about her role as a stylist, retailer, business woman and entrepreneur. Oh yeah, and her role as “den papa” to all the kids at her store.
I don’t know what we were laughing so hard at.
I saw these the night before at Payless and thought “why the hell am I thinking about buying Miu Miu heels when I can get these and look just as fab.???” Seriously ladies- the gold pair are to die for!
As I was walking into the party (which was right next door at Patricia Field’s store) a crew wanted to interview me. The bag I was carrying is a clutch from the Patricia Field for Payless collection. Cute, right?

Over it: Sex and the City
Is anyone else experiencing Sex and the City fatigue? I used to think the show was mildly entertaining and once the frenzy started taking over New York City a couple weeks ago I slowly started not to care as much. Now, the premiere is tomorrow, I have two major pieces due on the movie and a segment to do this week and I can’t seem to get motivated to talk about Carrie’s fashion statements. I also know what happens in the movie (e-mail me if you want to know too) so I am even more “whatevs.” about it. Everyone is having shoe buying parties or girl hour cocktail “get togethers” and all I want to do is watch ESPN’s coverage of the French Open. is that normal for a fashion and retail expert?
