Smitten With Bitten
Tuesday, May 29th, 2007So I don’t know about any of you but I shed a tear when the Sex In The City Sunday night HBO run came to an end. I loved that show. I tuned in every week to see what love and relationship topics they were discussing, to see the latest drama with Mr. Big, and most importantly, to check out all the awesome fashion trends brought to us every week by legendary Patricia Fields. I always loved what Carrie, Sarah Jessica Parker’s character, wore. Although some of her outfits were a bit eccentric, she always had on something unique and in the fashion now. Sarah Jessica Parker embodied her character’s fashion sense off set also. She always looks stunning at premiers and even just walking the streets of NYC.
That is why when I found out that SJP was coming out with a clothing line, my first thought was, it’s about damn time! More and more is being released about the launch and I for one can’t wait! We want to make sure you have all the details so you can be one of the first to rock these new pieces.
The clothing line will be called Bitten and will make its debut on June 7th exclusively at Steve & Barry stores. The line will include various different styles and items including just about everything from skits to belts to jewelry.
What’s even better is that the clothing line will be very inexpensive. Like under 20 bucks for the majority of her items. Based on these affordable prices, it is only fitting that the tagline for her clothing line is “Fashion is not a Luxury, it’s a Right.” Preach on SJP!
They are starting to show some of the collection on the Steve & Barry website so you can check out what we are in store for. It looks like a lot of casual and sporty pieces.
I hate to say it but here comes the bad news. It is not looking like the Bitten collection will be sold online but check out the store locater to find out where you can shop. Luckily, they have a lot of locations.
Also, the Fab Sugar site, one of our favorites, has all the latest updates on Bitten news so check back with them often as this line nears the launch date.

Click Dish Rack
Tuesday, May 29th, 2007
I hate washing dishes. And sometimes, what is even worse, is having to maneuver and discover new ways to fit all your dishes and glasses in the drying rack without having them all collapse. Chiasso offers a great solution with their Click Dish Rack. This dish rack set comes with 32 pegs in different heights that can be clicked together and connected to form the base of a drying rack. You then have plenty of pegs to hold all your dishware without having to worry that the whole pile will come tumbling town. When the drying rack is put together, it also has drainage holes so you don’t have to face any moisture problems. So get creative, because you can put the pegs together to form any shape to fit any space.

Dress By Design - Be Your Own Designer
Thursday, May 24th, 2007Here at Damn I Like That!, we are always on the lookout for the hottest products and accessories. We stumbled upon this online service and we had to let you know about it because we just wouldn’t be doing our jobs of keeping you on the pulse of what’s fashionable if we didn’t.
Ladies, back me up here. It is so hard to find that perfect dress for an upcoming occasion, whether it be a wedding, a night out with your man, or even an upcoming work event where you have to look your best. You go from store to store looking for that triple threat – a dress you like, a dress that fits you, and a dress that hopefully no one else at the event has on. And it never fails, just when you think you have found the perfect dress, the one that has it all, it doesn’t fit right or it looks so much better on the hanger than on your body.
Don’t give up! There is a website that hears our frustrations and is hoping to offer a solution. This site DressbyDesign.com, enables anyone to customize an entire dress online – from fabric, color, design, sizing, etc.
Here’s the 411 on how the site works…
Step 1 instructs you to select your style. They have 5 options along with descriptions and essentially the style of the dress refers to the shape and the skirt lines (how it will fall from the waistline). You know you body best, so pick the style that works best with your body type.
Once you choose the frame for your dress, Step 2 gets into the real fun – picking all the unique details and characteristics to match your personal style. First you choose the neckline. Options range from v-neck, to square, to mock turtleneck. You can click through each option and the image of the dress on the right will change to display what each option will look like. Next comes choosing the sleeves on the dress. The options start at sleeveless and go all the way to full length sleeves that come down to the wrist. The final design option is length. They can make the dresses mid-length, to the knee or long.
Next select your fabric. The fabric choices are separated by categories depending on the purpose of the dress. So they have categories ranging from ‘Night Out on the Town’ to ‘Weddings’ and ‘Pretty Plaid.’ Once you select the category a number of fabric swatches will appear and you can click through and see how each will look on the accompanying dress image. You can even supply your own fabric if you have something special already chosen!
The final, and what is probably the most difficult step for most ladies is the sizing. The site tries to make it as simple as possible offering a size chart based on bust, waist and hip and also a length drop down so you can choose the exact length of where you want the dress to fall. And, what’s even great for those of us with disproportionate bodies, you can mix and match the sizes if let’s say you are a size 8 on top and a size 6 on the bottom.
The prices obviously vary based on design elements and fabric but this is a great alternative to spending countless hours searching for the perfect dress and more money getting it tailored to fit you properly – why not just create your own!
So just call yourself Vera Wang and let you’re the designer from within come out.
