Exciting news!!!  

Banana Republic will be debuting a Mad Men inspired collection August 11.

 This is good because I need my yearly MM fix!  This summer they were SUPPOSED to start the new season of Mad Men, until a certain creator had to go and ruin everything!   

Since I have to wait until next year to watch my beloved Mad Men, I will be doing more of the following:

                    a)  Drinking (martini, yes please) 

                    b)  Fake smoking (ummm, cancer and wrinkles are not cool)

                    c)  Wearing my hair in an over-sized bun (it's my dirty hair trademark)

                    d)   Pouting like Betty Draper (see below)

Here I am pretending to be Betty so that I could win a Mad Men contest.  I didn't, and yes, I'm still bitter!

(Wearing Mikimoto pearls, vtg ring, vtg coat, Marc Jacobs skirt and Miu Miu chunky heels)

Unfortunately, Banana Republic has not released any clothing pics.  Below are the only ones I could scrounge up, so I apologize for them being blurred and tiny.

(skinny ties will be $59.99)

Are you dolls excited for this collection?

I try to RARELY report on the stylings of celebrities and pseudo celebs, but this post has to do with them.  This is the part where I admit, I'm addicted to the show, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

(Brief pause to reflect on how disppointed I am in myself.)

And… (pause over.) 

All season long, I have been OBSESSED with a pair of emerald green earring worn by Kyle Richards. 

And then I realized I was having an obsession deja vu…

Enter, Angelina Jolie's green emerald earring from the 2009 Oscars.

Swoon.

Since these Lorraine Schwartz will set me back about $2.5 million, I think I'll focus on the other pair.  The good news is the pair Kyle is wearing will only set me back $125… oh, happy day!

Designer Jennifer Miller makes affordable jewelry that can been seen everywhere from The Today Show to Town and Country Magazine.

To order check out her website.

And about that title…

During a party at her home, a drunk woman began to hit on Kyle's husband… to which she used the phrase "Wanna a Manolo in your eyeball?"

Pure genius like that, could only come from the aunt of Paris Hilton. 

Off with her head, I guess…
