Traveling without Moving....

Have to get it off my chest; Cause it stinks....
If you do these write me and explain why you do this:

1. Take your shoes off in an airplane.
2. Fart in an airplane. I can tell it was you because you leaned to one side so it creeps out the side of your butt.
3. Read what I am reading in my magazine over my shoulder. Especially if I am reading cosmo...weird.
4. Stand up right when the plane reaches the gate and breathe heavy into everyones face. Smells like peanuts and tomato juice...frigging gross.
5. At baggage claim; stand right up against the belt so when your bag comes around you have to get through the great wall of assholes. What would happen if you just stood back a couple feet and move forth to grab your Samsonite bag WHEN IT ARRIVES!
6. Stand right behind me while waiting in line at security when you could comfortably stand maybe 7 more inches away...fun fact: you will get there in the same amount of time.

I am happy to get that out there....

****ONWARD TO FASHION****






Obssessions :





1. Fred Perry....





I have had a love love love with this brand forever. And if you loved me you would buy me this:

When people say "I love your Fred Perry" or are wearing Fred Perry themselves, you don't have to think twice that they are cool. Cause they are.

2. Givenchy Blazer

Nautical Stripes are my insta' way to feel chic this year. So when givenchy put out this beauty I have been thinking about selling my car, donating plasma or having a 24 hour bake sale to try to raise enough money for this droppin bombs piece. But for now, I am searching high and low for a 2o dollar knock off....checking H&M, topshop and Forever 21 daily....

So keep your eyes peeled my lil' friends.

3. I wanna give a big ole shout it out loud to my homeboy and homegirl : Nick and Kimi for introducing me to this website. CAUTION : If you feel like you look like any of these people or try too hard on a daily to look like these people...you betta chiggity check yo'self befo' you wreck yo'self. Cause this is BAD!






http://www.latfh.com/






Hipsters must sulk away to another land cause you are bringing me down yo....enough with the feathers in your dirty hair and neon sneakers....especially of you are over the age of 30.






4. WESC







This is a great brand for those who are having a hard time letting their hipster ways go(see above)....and it is also a great brand for those who just wanna look bad ass.






Its a hybrid street/skate/surf/high fashion brand that def keeps you from looking like you try to hard. Here are some of my fave guy things....probs gonna see Ray the man working these digs this spring/summer.













http://www.wesc.com/ WeSC stands for We are the superlative Conspiracy. Now go check it out.






5.Hey Ladies! Its Classy Moo-Moo time! MAXI DRESSES! woot woot!






Here are the ones that I am already living in! The neighbors think that I have lost my mind Britney Spears style because I just colored my hair brown...(its the bomb.duh.) and out in the cold with my ballerina flats and a MAXI DRESS...hey, it was almost 40 degrees!







Here is the one that I will be sporting most of the rest of the year....if you love, email me! Cause I am a stylist for this brand! www.katierayeharrower@gmail.com

These is a Rachel Pally that is on sale on http://www.shopbop.com/ for $123. Not to shabby for a Pally. Shopbop rules. freeeeee shipping.

6. The Sartorialist : http://www.thesartorialist.com/ is a blog that you must frequent every other day or so to feel like you live in a fabulous place like Milan or NYC. This is street fashion at its finest. I have been a regular with this blog for a few years now and its what wakes me up in the morning. Hot cup o' joe and these pictures. I forget I am in Omaha NE for a few minutes as I am filled with inspiration. Go there now.

7. GO to http://www.cabicanary.com/

'nuff said.

8. Ray and I experienced a lovely date night the other night....a first in awhile...we went to The Boiler Room. http://www.theboilerroomrestaurant.com/

I know a lot of Omaha "in the know" type of folks talk about this place. But I want to tell you simply that the food was deeeelish and the service was perfect. Not to in your face and very educational. Didn't make you feel stupid if you couldn't say half of the things on the menu but made you feel at home when entertaining you with what is all available. It is in Omaha's Old Market and the atmosphere makes everyone feel like they are "in the know"...its warehousy but cozy and the food rocks my haus.

9. Nude Shoes w/ brights!!! If you are wearing this seasons floral or brights...DO NOT I repeat...DO NOT wear matching pumps, or matching belts and earrings. If you do that then you will begin to look like a teenager who lives in Barstow CA that shops at Wet Seal....those of you who know where that is tell the others to be very afraid....please look at exhibit a and exhibit b :

exhibit A:

Exhibit B:

I hope that you all said Exibit B looks way better because it does. Matchy Matchy went out with the Spice Girls, Ed Hardy, Trucker Hats, Little Dogs in Purses, Tanning, French Manicures and Paris Hilton. Peace out Hilton.

Thats enough for tonight....Henry is teething what I like to call his "wolf teeth" (i-teeth) and I can hear him a sturrin' in his bed...so peace out gangstas....

Is that the funniest thing that you have ever seen besides this? :




Now onto important things like clothes, makeup, pop culture and me making fun of things.
Fave Song to Run to Today : OPP by Naughty by Nature

Fave Song to Dance Around the Kitchen W/ your Kid Today : Siki Siki Baba by Gaetano Fabri (Thanks Jimmy for this one)

Fave things In the Past Few Days : (Guys there is even a few nuggets in here for you!)

1. JEGGINGS!!!! Did ya here me? JEGGINGS!!!

Jean/Leggings hybrid my pretty ladies!This is the most important thing that you chicas can purchase this spring! Jeans are sometimes friggin hot!...not like "dang girl...you fine..."hot but like hot, sweaty, sticky jeans on a Nebraska humid day hot. So get a pair of this lil' beauties and you fine gurrrrlll.

The top one is Hudson for around $159 and the second one is CAbi (my fave line :)) for $89...as you all know...if you like anything on the second one email me!! www.katierayeharrower@gmail.com

2. All over Neutrals....Head to Toe Nude...not Nudity but...nudes dudes :
Like this :




First look is CAbi, second looks are from a great blog called How to be Trendy and the last looks are from the NYFW Fall 2010 Runway of Costello Taghapieta and PORTS 1961.

3. MY NEW SHOES ARE MY 3rd FAVE THING!



These are Forever 21 and they are a whole massive $21...that my friends is pure shopping joy. Sparkles and Cheap all wrapped up on my feet. Can I get a what what? No seriously...say it out loud..."what what!?"...did you really say it? Ha! I can just picture some of you sitting at your cubicles going "what what!?" and everyone staring at you and your little Gangsta Rapper outburst...Thanks for that.



4. This one is for the Fellas :
Shoes for the Spring/Summer 2010. I swear if I see one more pair of Abercrombie Leather Flip Flops on a man over the age of 29 I will become extremely confrontational. Girls : go to your husband/boyfriends/friends/grandpas closets, bring a pair of scissors and cut the lil' piece that goes between their big toe and second toe so they can never embarrass you again. Here are some suggestions: The first is good ole Vans...my husbands favorite. The second and third ones are for the dapper fellas out there...shout out to my homeboy Matt for his suggestions of Spectators and Clarks Desert Boots. The word on the street is the brighter the color of the desert boot the better. So boys...take note. Girls say...you can always tell a guy by the shoes on his feet...

5. If ya wanna get your Hair did in Omaha NE :

I get this question a lot...I work for Paul Mitchell and love love love a good hairstylist. Its important...so if you are in Omaha you must go see my homegirl :

Lee Ann Boyle @ Halo Studios

5011 Underwood Ave
402-505-6633
Now go get your roots done....cause you might look like below and you belong on the show Rock of Love with that shizz.





6. Colgate Wisps : Fix yo' Breath...


You can't go wearing fabulous clothes and bomb diggity Makeup....and then having your breath smell like you just chewed on a moldy piece of bacon. I mean, it stinks son...did you wash it down with an ice cold Colorado Bulldog too? BRUSH YO TEETH.



These pups don't even need water. Do it while you are driving....people love that.

7. Last one for the Guys : http://www.rvca.com/

Every guy is looking for a great, affordable, sexy brand that they can wear to watch a football game at their brudda's house. Or a brand that they can wear to take their major hot sex-pot wife out in. RVCA is it. It is a surf/skate brand that does a lot of philanthropic work...so your money goes to great causes and you probs are gonna get some if you shower and put some of these wee dandies on.

8. Best. Nail. Color. Ever.

Some may think it is Mousey....I think it Marvellous. Its Chic. Its the color of Blah. And it shows that you kinda know what up. Bye bye Black Nails...go back to 2008.

Doesn't matter what brand you buy as long as it looks like you dipped your nails in cement...just do it and tell me how super "Kate Moss'y' you feel later.

Now as Henry would say " Mom..Ni Ni Ni Ni...Lah' you" (mom, night night night night, Love you)

Love you Sugar Boogers....

Oh Yeah. I have been getting a lot of flack on the Uggs comment. Uggs are fine when you take your kids to the mall, go get groceries, you know what I mean...but I am just saying Cameron Diaz wore hers in a Vogue Editorial in 2003. It is 2010.

jibble jabble....nuthin' major.

"Who do you love....are you fa sho?.... whoooooo dooooo you loooove arrrre yoouuu fa sho?"

2. Threadytowear.etsy.com
Cutest ever lil' Hair art by my buddy ole' pal Megs.
Seriously ladies: You ever have that not so fresh feeling? Put in one of these bad boys and you are skippity doo dah all the way ta Target. But, on the real, you can't be in a bad mood when you have adorable buttons in your hair.

3. Special K Fruit Crisps

4. Cheap Monday Brand
Somedays...I just feel like dressing like an Olsen twin but on the Downlow...well, just cause I don't have the bank account those Trolls have...doesn't mean I can't dress like a chic hobo. Dress in Cheap Monday, grab a Venti SKINNY Vanilla Latte and big sunglasses and you are like ready to hang with Uncle Joey and Kimmy Gibler.
http://www.cheapmonday.com/



5. Bass Shoes....not to be confused with Eastlands.
These shoes make you look like " ahh shucks...these old things? I totally stole them from my ex boyfriend in 1989 while he was backwards rollerskating with that skank Rebecca to Patrick Swayze's She's Like the Wind...Anyway,He never locked his locker...He was so lame girl...." But, ladies, some of you aren't heels type o gals....these make your skinnies (jeans) and a plain v neck tee look instantly like da bomb bizzie.

6. Tunics
These wonderful flowing gifts from the fashion gods are like Spanx but without the rash. Tunics make every girl seem just effortless and freaking booyah'rific. Watch proportions chicas...volume on top, skinny on da' bottom. Not tunic, sweatpants and uggs...ya feel me boo?
1. CAbi Egyptian Tunic (http://www.cabionline.com/) 2. TopShop Tunic (http://www.topshop.com/) 3. Anthropologie Tunic (http://www.anthropologie.com/)

> One more question :


WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

Blog ONE : Juicy Sweatsuits must BURN.

There...I feel better already...wait...here comes another one...DON'T wear your UGGS out on dates or to church. I mean...if you need to wash your face and brush your teeth for an event...you shouldn't wear Uggs there. Better...lets begin...
I love Wine, Vodka, my kid, my man, shoes, betsey johnson, CAbi, surfing, snowboarding, Robert Pattinson, glitter, shimmer, running, swimming, making soup, making fun of celebrities, jersey shore, my besssss friends, my robe, coke zero, advil, cocktail rings, Elvis, James Brown, and telling you what up. My name is Katie and Welcome to my friggin' Blog.

Crazy and Fabulous are my two best friends.

I live in Omaha and dream about New York....never been, just dream about it.

I had been living in SoCal for about 3 years, Denver for 5 years before that and now returned to Omaha Dec 2009.

I have loved fashion since I was 2...I can remember because we were out at my cousins farm and they wanted me to wear brown, boy moon boots with Transformers on them...and I had a rainbow sleeve Michael Jackson Shirt on....Hello!?...That doesn't look fabulous...So I didn't go out that day DUH!

I know a crapload about style and what probs looks like shit on you. I know this because people never tell me I have a big ass and I do. So obviously I am like Ah-May-zing at covering it up. Or people I hang out with are jerks and don't say anything until I leave. Whatever, all their booze is gone cause I drank it...one of my many tricks.
ENOUGH (great J.LO movie) about me...why am I writing...

I always get asked:


"Hey gurl! Where ya get them shoes at?" Seriously, I will tell you if you don't end your sentence in a preposition. But chances are they are from Bakers Shoes http://www.bakersshoes.com/ (cheap cheap) or Nordstroms....Sale rack.


Another one I get : "Hey Betch! I love your lipstick....what up wit dat?" Before this economy took a big fat smelly poo on America's front porch...I had recess at Sephora every week...now : WALGREENS YO!!!!!


So on this Blog here I will be posting things that are cheap, worth it, fabulous, funny, ta die for, and overall a freaking blast. A lot of my feelings on Pop Culture, Famous People, Clothes, Makeup, SHOES, Failed dieting tips, Music, and probably some Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew comments and recaps.




Here are the things I am lusting for and things I can't live with out today as a 31 year old mama of Henry James the world Cutest and Smartest Kid...(don't argue with me girl...this is my haus...I spell it Haus because I am freaking Faux-Euro) and Fashion glutton.

See ABOVE : Henry and RAY...my super hot South African husband...yes...don't ask again people..He has an accent. Don't be jealous...duh.

Here are my Obsessions :

1.Winter Whites!

It is all over the Fall 2010 catwalks! You heard me...FALL 2010. Wear it now. This outfit is available thru ME! It is apart of the CAbi 2010 collection and you can only get it thru a stylist...like me. So, now....call me/email me (katierayeharrower@gmail.com) for a private fitting girl!

2. Cover Girl Tru Blend Concealer
I know! You are thinking Zit City...no way! This stuff leaves that Posh Spice, I just got fresh BOTOX look all around your face and doesn't make my acne prone face break out. I know! FREAKING AWESOME YA'LL!

3. Urban Decay Pocket Rocket Lip Gloss!

This stuff is like Da BEES KNEES! And Last FoReVeR!!See below for the description from the website : http://www.urbandecay.com/
YOU CAN GET FREE SAMPLES...ASK A SEPHORA REP! That is one way to get this stuff and not go broke.

Undress our men with the flick of your wrist! Inside the cap of our custom tube is a photo of a yummy man. Tilt the tube back-and-forth to strip them to their undies! (We've even included front and rear photos.) Whether you swoon for a future senator or a tree-hugger, one of our men is sure to please you. Our guys make awesome gifts for bachelorette parties, baby showers, or b-days.

And the gloss? This formula is so slick and cushiony, you would love it even in a plain ol’ tube. Each shade varies in opacity and finish, but all have a sweet crème brûlée flavor. The formula contains Hyaluronic Spheres, known to improve cellular function, prevent dehydration, and fill in lines and wrinkles. The brush applicator is ideal for blending.

Need to lure a real man? Give the tube a rub to release pheromones into the air! Undetectable to the smell, pheromones enhance mood and sexual attraction. The flat tube slides right into your pocket .

FEELING DIRTY? AWESOME! I thought that you would love that one my concervative lady friends...don't worry Jesus doesn't care.

4. Nautical Stripes!!!

These Beauties are from Forever 21...they are both under 19 bucks.

But if you think that you are fancy schmancy:

Here is Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton 2010: amaze - balls.

5. Final Obsession for the day : Draping Tee Shirts!!!!

(ADD A BLAZER TO BE LIKE A SUPER HERO FASHION KNOW IT ALL)
