"I wanna be rich, and I want lots of money, I don't care about clever, I don't care about funny..."

The fear :: Lily Allen

Was it just me, or was anyone else totally disappointed by the gossip girl inspired Anna Sui for target line? It was ugly, expensive, and no fashion-forward person in their right mind would wear that stuff. For the price your paying for those clothes, you could get something much nicer at urban outfitters, or H&M. That leather jacket for $150? Terrible. I mean, Hello? It's Target, we're expecting cheap. That's not the worst of it though. There was that tragic table cloth dress that supposedly, Blair would wear? Aptly, it was named the Table Cloth Dress. (It's featured right over there, on the left) But, really it was worse than that. It looked like one of those old moth eaten curtains you find with your great grandmother's silver-ware in the basement. Only, it's not yellowing yet. And the blue ribbon? It looks like someone pulled it from their poodle's neck. The sleeves make you look matronly, and lace collars are really not flattering to anyone. As an added bonus? It's much too short. And of course, you could wear it with colorful tights, but what color are you going to wear with that poodle bow staring you in the face? On the flip side, I was totally blown away with the Eugenia Kim EEK line for Urban Outfitters. Best of all? Everything is under $50! For those who don't know, Eugenia Kim is only one of the biggest names in the hat and hairband business. Besides Jennifer Behr, and Jennifer Oulette of course. (Blair rocked the jennifer behr vintage gold knot headband in one episode) But as usual, not all of us can afford Blair's style. (that headband? It goes for a jaw-dropping $225) Which is why Eugenia Kim's line is so amazing! You get to snag headbands that normally go for around the $100 price point, and their more expensive siblings are favored by Gossip Girl? Count me in!
