Things that make you go 'wtf.'

Did you know...

...that Kevin James is a huge celebrity in Germany? They LOVE him, apparently. They marketed 'Hitch' as a Kevin James vehicle, and made a whole buncha escarole. 'Paul Blart: Mall Cop' was a huge hit, too. 

This concludes your daily mindfuck.

Big News.

I got a job at Anthropologie! And I found out that I get a completely bomb-ass employee discount at any of the stores that fall under the umbrella of their parent company, URBN, including: Anthropologie, Free People, and the one I'm crazytown redonkulous giddyface about: Urban Outfitters.

So on this episode of Kate Blogs, I present: things I would buy if I wasn't a) behind on my rent, b) hopelessly broke, or c) if I could fit into it:

Silence & Noise Corsetry Bra, $28

This is perfect. I die (thanks, Rachel Zoe. P.S, miss you on Bravo).


'Cool, Casual' by Slow & Steady Wins the Race Colorblock Convertible Tank Dress, $88.

I would wear this so hard, no lie. You can fold this damn thing up into a double-layer tank top (scoopneck over racerback) or unfold it into a maxi dress. The strings at my ankles would be endlessly obnoxious, but we'd work through that. Because we're a FAMILY.

Colorblock Ruffle Dress, $88

There are no words. The most difficult part would be deciding whether to get this one, or the
other color combination:

I like this one better. I rest my case ::pounds gavel::


Mirror/Dash Zip Front Dress, $59.99 (sale)

This totally feeds my jumper obsession. I won't even talk to you about rompers...
(I lied, yes I will. All my favorite rompers have come from thrift stores, and most have been floral-print Express from the mid-90's. I refuse to ever buy a full price romper. I love them so, but they are VERY hard to do your bidness in. 'Specially at bars, youpickinupwhati'mputtindown?).


Silence & Noise Oversize Hoodie, $29.99 (sale)

...And now shoes ::unf unf unf::

Sweet Life by Dolce Vita Lace Heel, $128

Oh, what's that? Sorry, I was on the floor drooling.


PLV by Pour la Victoire Studded Sandal, $178

If I don't own/DIY something similar to this by the middle of summer, I will be inconsolable.


Okay so, bottom line and end of materialistic dream post: since I (at least 98%) will have a roommate living with me for the next year, and rent will be somewhat slightly diminished, you better effing believe that I'll be acquiring some similar pieces in the months to come. After all, what's a perk if you don't use it, right? Right?
