Celebutante see, celebutante do. Isn’t that the way it always is? And The Hill’s not being true fiction makes its biggest stars, Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag both just celebutantes (who “worked” for it).

Months after Lauren’s handbag line came out with Linea Pelle, Montag’s fashion collection has just debuted with Anchor Blue, an equally obscure house to this quarter-aged fart.

If you’re wondering whether Heidi has the chops to design clothing. I’m going to take her own quote to say, “No”.

“I love zebra print!” she said. “I’m obsessed with it!”

And it’s all over her collection. Yayyy, she follows one trend. I love zebra print myself right now. Oh but didn’t that start at least back in the Fall? Like on this handbag from Dooney & Bourke (actually a 2008 edition, but still).

What more in the advancement of design could we expect from a girl who named her line Heidiwood, with the tagline, “Welcome to La La Land!“? Mmmmmmmmm, those Las are supposed to stand for L and A, but okay… We know you live there, anyway, Heidi!

I’m not a trend follower of late, but the announcement of this one excited me for a very important reason. Seeing the hot, neon, sparkly, etc. pumps on the show What Not to Wear started my love for shoes, which brought on this blog, which introduced me to handbags, and ultimately that led to my handbag line I’m finally ready to start!

But back to the blog for now, and well the shoes..

Reports say bright shoes are in for Spring. Fun! Cute, and definite excitement in your steps.

I’d like to go over some “hot” (pun intended, as per usual) choices in different categories …

First, fashionista in different price points:

Yes, I am back. And not in lame once-a-week doses, nor with (I hope not) boring content. (Not that we used to have boring content, no..)

But thanks in great part to you, my readers, and the commenters of this post, and your wonderful support - I am back.

I read your encouragement to just change things instead of stop, and I now know some (many?) of you will stick around (if/when you notice I’m back) through them.

Here you will find a lot more:

free speech, musings instead of shopping, indie buys, critiques on the industry and mass production… and we’ll see what else!

You will not find celeb worship. Woohoo!

I hope to see you around!
