My Take - Kourtney Kardashian Denim and Tweed

First of all, I'm breaking one of my New Years resolutions.  See, I made a resolution to not lay eyeballs on anything to do with the Kardashian/Jenner crew in 2014. I'm just tired of them, tired of everything they do.  And what do I do? I find this picture of Kourtney (it is from 2013 in my defense) on Pinterest and I adored what she's wearing and now I'm posting about it. I'm weak, forgive me.

1. Big Buddha - $66

2. Madewell - $25

3. ASOS - $65

4. James Jeans - $72

5. Chinese Laundry - $60

6. Jeffrey Campbell - $90

Belle Noel Jewelry - on sale!

In my endless search for all things Kardashian - ha, just kidding, seriously, I know it's been a little heavy on the Kardashian front around here, but I swear it's a coincidence.  Okay, I am protesting a bit too much.  Anyway, I really like the shopping site RevolveClothing.com and as I was poking around the site last week, seeing what was on sale, I ran across some jewelry by Belle Noel that caught my eye because - 1) it was gorgeous and 2) the sale prices are so right!  I clicked through to the whole collection and much to my surprise it was designed by Kim Kardashian in partnership with Pascal Mouwad.  How have I not heard of this (I mean seriously, we hear about everything else they do)?  Here are my picks to click!

Kardashian Klosets - I mean Closets

That darn Kardashian branding makes me go nuts with the K's (I shake my fist in Kris Jenner's direction).  I've mentioned before that I watch every Kardashian show, which is shameful but strangely inspiring (interior decorating-wise of course) and in that post I shared some pics of Khloe's amazing closet.  Well, in September's InStyle magazine they have a feature on Kim, Khloe and Kourtney's closets which are stunning and chock full o' designer goodies, so I wanted to share. 

Kim's glam, rich and almost masculine (with all the dark wood and clean lines) closet - well, one of her closets.  The article mentioned she has one more for shoes and handbags.  The article also mentioned that Kim used to be a professional closet organizer (!).  How about that chandelier and ginormous Givenchy tote in the corner - fabulous!

Kourtney's more realistic closet.  I love the carpet and wallpaper.  I also dig the chair in the corner, big enough to sit in and yet it doesn't feel like it hogs the whole space.  This one is a great use of vertical space!

And here's Khloe's closet, which I've shared before.  Still love it and is my fave of the three - I mean who doesn't dream of a mirrored island with drawers galore in your closet? 

Which one is your favorite?

BTW - I ran to the mall last Friday, had a few extra minutes to kill so I popped into Sears to check out the Kardashian clothing collection that just came out.  Um, well, no.  It was not my cup o' tea (probably because I'm like 10 years older than their target audience *ahem*), I wanted to like the leopard print blazer - can't find a picture online - but for $99, I expect better fabric and a better print execution.  Now if it goes on sale for $19 I may be all in, but for now my money is best spent on other things.

True Confession Time

First, I just want to apologize for my lack of posts over the past couple of weeks - I'm working on a big project which involves staring at a computer screen for hours on end and at the end of the workday I just can't bring myself to look at a computer screen for one more second.  So I've been avoiding any extra computer time.  Staring at the TV, however hasn't been an issue.  I've been watching way too much TV lately, between just wanting to zone out after the little one goes to sleep at night, to struggling with a touch of insomnia, I've logged a disgusting amount of TV watching. 

Which brings me to my true confession - one I'm not proud of at all, in fact, I'm embarrassed and yeah, somewhat disgusted with myself.  This is hard to admit, but I've been watching a whole lot of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians", "Khloe and Lamar", etc.  There, I said it.  Don't think less of me.  Ugh, I just can't explain it because I find them highly irritating, yet there I sit.  No one can deny that Kim is gorgeous, I mean she's stunningly beautiful.  But what else is there?  Bruce?  Well, okay I kinda like Bruce, he always seems like he's trapped in a weird dream/nightmare, spouting out the occasional words of wisdom while trying to escape by  building toy helicopters and remembering how awesome his life was in the 70's.  No one can deny that Kris is a master of marketing her kiddos (good and bad).  And let's be honest Kourtney, bless her heart, is the least likeable most vapid human being I have ever laid eyes on.  Her baby dady Scott is king of all slimeball/douchebags with not one redeeming quality (he makes Spencer Pratt look like the ideal man).  He's the type of guy that every girl should avoid at all costs.  Living with a bunch of cats would be better than him.

And yet, I still watch.  However, I may have figured out some of the appeal for me.  I think I love seeing the clothes and interiors.  Yeah, I don't sound superficial AT ALL.  But stay with me.  Because that's all there is - there's no storyline, they don't do anything really interesting - BUT they do wear gorgeous clothes and live in beautiful houses.  Which should not be the basis for any TV show, but there you go.  I'm particularly smitten with parts of Khloe's house - specifically her home office.  Check it:

I love it - I love seeing it all (though, I could do with less of the dozens of pictures of themselves they have in every house).  I just can't help myself.  So, I'm not telling you to tune in, but if you do find any of the (many) Kardashian shows on your TV, I recommend putting them on mute and enjoying the scenery.

There, I feel better that it's out in the open now :o)
