Normally, I like to mix it up a bit, but I was very impressed by the indie gooda on offer at Supermarket.
First up- an understated leather wallet that says BAMF without saying it.
Smoking accessories are few and far between, and this cigarette holder confirms the badass status to which you are entitled as a smoker.
Sappy but cool- interlocking promise/wedding/love you rings.
Gotcha! Wedding rings.
Pretty, pretty cleaver necklace.
I’m sorry, what now?
I recently spent time with a young man who, when I complimented his shirt, stated proudly, “it’s from Battlestar Galactica!” Now, not all girls are as revved up as geekery as I. Which I kept to myself because, hey, geekiness is hot.
These tees address many fandoms with one basic design, and don’t out you for atomic wedgies at the mall.

I rarely bare my arms in public due to an unfortunate incident in 11th grade Economics class. But even I get sick of cardigans from time to time, and I am lusting over this adorable little faux-fur stole from Babygirl Boutique. I love the over-the-topness for a dinner date.

Seriously, I’m not kidding. How can Trader Joe’s be so good and so cheap and so awesomeriffic? These Veggie Masala burgers (I believe I mocked my roommate for purchasing them on one of our shopping trips but later snuck them in my cart) are really easy to heat up and super, super tasty. And potatoey. And curry-tasty. What else do you need to hear?

I absolutely have to own these amazing bowls. I didn’t really think bowls could be improved by a stem, but this is genius. Not only are they aesthetically enticing (bowls!), but the stem is a boon if your mom, like mine, insists you have a hole in your lip. And it even affords you privacy if you don’t want people’s eyes all over your Boo-Berry.

Okay, so I haven’t posted since last Thursday. It’s been a busy couple of units of time. I had to move out of my apartment, on pretty short notice at that. It takes forfuckingever to find a place in the naked city, and after a few eh experiences, I found a commune in Newark to move to. So most of my time has been spent singing kum-ba-yah, smoking pot, and arguing over whose cruelty-free tofu burgers are in whose freezer. I’m kidding, you can totally get in trouble for saying stuff like that on your blog nowadays. And besides, would I eat a tofu burger? And it’s actually sort of co-housing, not a commune. In Newark of all places.
So living in a commune loft is actually pretty cool. It’s mostly boys, so there are no estrogen fueled hysterics. Plus, it’s a cool old converted factory, so I get to build all up in it. And I can rollerskate here. Some things that make co-housing situations overall better, IMHO- or, my loot:
These are my shiny red pots. Awesome, awesome pots. Top marks.
A sexy robe…
This tool makes you Macgyver in like three seconds. The rub? You need one of these motherfuckers to open it!
Lighting! I did this all by myself. The cords came from IKEA, but you can get them and the shades from Pearl River.

So many good things, I couldn’t be arsed to narrow it down:
Sex flashcards. So goshdarn cute.
Hand-holding mittens. Cause plain ones aren’t gay enough.
Tree locket. Just adorable.
Happy Buddha pen stand- to ward off bad work juju.
And a sappy pillow.

BE dropped us a line to let us know about the new Vixen vinyl dress- and predictably- LOVE it! Also digging the new Lucy B retro styles of lingerie. Since there’s free shipping on $75+ orders, you might want to start your holiday shopping early.

I’ve always been straightforward about my hedonism but love for shoes. While I love sexy shoes, I cannot deal with foot discomfort. I found these cute motorcycle boots a week ago and I have not found a more comfortable shoe in my recent memory. It’s really hard to find a something that looks put together and pretty and doesn’t wound you on a daily basis. Oh, I love my boots.

I have a problem with my gear multiplying. As I move from place to place during the day, I am followed in a pigpen like fashion by a rotating amount of Djarum packs, lighters, red lipsticks, Lego Star Wars figurines, my phone, random notebooks, and you get the picture. On any given day I can return home with way more items than I left with. I love these compact and cute reusable totes that you can just stick in the bottom of your bag, in case. I would worry, though, about not only carrying one more thing, but using it cause it’s there. Still, it’s better to be prepared…*

In my never ending quest for comfy, cute slips, I stumbled across this adorable sale piece from- wait for it- the Gap. Soft red cotton trimmed with wide lace strips. It’s sexy and practical. Kinda like me.

Fortune Cookie charms are so adorable. I like jewelry that signifies something , and what’s more hopeful than a a fortune cookie? It offers insight, lucky numbers, and vague future predictions. And this charm is just the cutest.

One of the best things about living in New York is the constant inspiration on the street and subway. The pants I’m wearing right now were acquired after asking a very eager to share woman at Broadway-Lafayette where she got them. I may not have taken them off since. New York City dwellers are subject to temperature extremes (60 degrees outside, 160 on the subway platform where you’re stuck for half-an-hour), environmental exposure, long walks to and fro, and other look killers you just don’t have to deal with when you drive to and from work in your own climate controlled space.
A few weeks ago I spied a woman in her late thirties who looked like the perfect combination of together and polished and professional and stylish and casual. She was wearing a neat little suit derivative that really embodied all this. An approximation:
- Dark jeans
- A short-sleeved blazer
- A subtly-screened, tissue weight tee
- Stylish sneakers- though I’d choose riding boots
- Extra credit: practical tote and pretty pendant

This fabulous blush stick eluded me for years. I read the reviews on Makeup Alley- get it now before they discontinue it! and then nothing. I scoured every WnW display I passed and saw no version of it. Then, like magic, it reappeared everywhere. I’d heard Coy was the perfect pink blush and was skeptical- blush was never an item I could find in drugstores. But they were right.
Coy is a creamy, highly pigmented, pure pink color that makes you look sweet, alive, and not overly made up. I use it on my lips to provide a neutral base for gloss. It’s been less than a week and this item is elevated to grail status on my vanity table. Don’t try to contour with it (or anything)- just apply a little to the apples of your cheeks and pat it out until it looks natural. Finish with a light dusting of powder if desired. I will never go back to prestige blush again, unless WnW discontinues it. Now, if they’d only resurrect Drac’s Drool- dumb name, perfect berry wash for lips.

I’ve never used cake mascara, but I spotted this adorable wee compact in Lucky and I feel that now I need to. This totally looks like it would have been in Bettie’s makeup kit. Very pin-up. And I’ve had Paula Dorf brushes for years- they still look and feel brand new.

I fell in love with this silly little dresser from JC Penney. It’s sleek and black and curved and stylish and would look perfect in the bedroom I have in my head. I hope it’s around when I stop being homeless. There’s a cherry-reddish version if you’re feeling more traditional.

…when it’s actually brass knuckles in disguise? I have slightly mixed feelings about this piece- on one hand, I’m wary of women walking around feeling threatened. On the other hand, well-you know. This ring is meant to take the place of the old keys-between-the-fingers trick. Subtle.

I am on an eternal quest for comfortable, adorable boyshorts. I can never have enough, and I never feel like I have enough. I picked up a three pack of these lacy numbers at Target this Saturday, and they’re truly amazing. They stay put, look adorable, and you don’t even feel them all day. Top marks, I’m definitely stocking up!

I’ve gone on and on about my love for homegrown beauty products, and I lovelovelove The Bubble Roome’s Brooklyn-themed natural offerings. Now that their site’s back up, I’mma have to check out their gorgeously-packaged Hemp Oil Lotion. None of the scents are based on my favorite- dark chocolate- but the Clementine & Cedarwood looks like a really nice option.

…how’s about rockin’ some pointy ta-tas? I totally dig how these bras make you completely, unflinchingly naughty while you’re wearing a totally covered up sweater. Those 50s chicks really knew how to bring it, didn’t they?
The matching panties? That’s a panty, thong wearers take note.

I’ve always had a jones for industrial stuff- restaurant ware, vats of ketchup, anything you need a special license or card or blagging skills to buy. I immediately fell for these super sturdy, school issue tables. Not only for their hardiness and super-stealiness, but also because they’d be perfect for playing tie me up detention.

God damn you, Crocs, and your Croccy croslite material. Every time I get away from your cloudlike shoes, you draw me back in with something. First my sister bought me the Athens sandals, which are sleekish and super wearable. And now this. Slim little toe-cleavage baring Mary-frickin-janes. That don’t need socks. That can go in the dishwasher! I’ve been wearing maryjanes since I was three. Stop targeting me, Crocs!
I mean, the main focus of this site is doing what feels good. And they feel good, and that’s enough, right? Right? Are they gonna revoke my FIT degree?
…courtesy of Gridskipper. The best ice cream in New York. I can sadly confess to only having sampled one (Emack and Bolio’s), but it is damn good. Where’s Il Laboratorio del Gelato? No honorable mention for Rice to Riches?

Not my blog, this funny blog about working at Wal-Mart. I can’t help it- I do go to Wal-Mart when the opportunity presents itself, and it is an evil, scary place. The stories on the above link are hilarious and fascinating, and somehow exactly what you’d imagine working at a Wal-Mart returns desk would be like.

I found this pen in my office recently. I started to use it, and immediately marched over to my boss and began grilling him as to the origins of the pen. He admitted ownership and offered the pen to me- I declined, not feeling right taking such an amazing writing instrument from him. I thought myself weird until our meeting later that day when my other boss, his sister (yes, as my ex often reminds me I am third in command in a chain of three) picked it up and had the same reaction… ooooh, whose pen is this? I’m convinced, I will never use another pen to write on again on the rare occasions I write with a pen.

I live in Brooklyn, a place full of eternal adolescents. A dad and baby with matching mohawks are not an uncommon sight here. Hammerpress has some awesome artsy prints and rock posters that wouldn’t look out of place in your CB2, Ikea, or Pottery Barn bedecked living room. And they’re well priced, too.

The lovely proprietress of the very well-designed and well-stocked Boudoir Essentials noted our love for their cool gear and extended a code exclusively to ViceVixen.com readers! So from today until August 15th, the entire mermaid collection is 15% for us. Yay!
What’s in a mermaid collection, you may ask? I wondered, when I spoke with Boudoir Essentials about it. It turns out, a lot. Toys for beginners with speed adjustments. Stealth shower vibes. High-end, fashion-savvy toys. Toys for boys. Wands with bling. That’s just the beginning, and the best part about the mermaid collection is its diversity. It really does have something for every bad girl and boy. I’m personally partial to the waterproof crystal flex, but I am very, very naughty.
Thanks again, BE! (Readers, use code VixenSummer at checkout to get your discount!)
