Yes, Fashion Is My Vice Too

So it’s off into the fashion blogosphere to find new and exciting blogs to read. Of course, I went to Coutorture’s list of fashion bloggers and randomly chose one. Today’s pick is Fashion Vice because mainly I liked the header design - ( Are Fashion Vice.bmpthose branches sticking out of the girls’ heads? ) - plus we seem to have the same taste in clothing.

In her latest post, Jane talks about the latest collection from a London-based fashion designer named Karen Walker. I also have to admit that when I was reading the fashion news yesterday I came across the name and immediately thought of the “Karen Walker” from Will & Grace (which I miss, by the way!) Anyways, Karen Walker will be debuting in New York during Fashion Week, so be on the lookout!
