Am SO excited this day is finally here… Today marks the official launch of our SNAIL MAIL valentines for charity! Eleven million thanks to all of you who donated your time, talents and LOVE to create these very special cards. Just a reminder, 100% of the proceeds benefit Elder Craftsmen, a rad NYC-based group that brings craft programs to senior citizens.
This is a GREAT organization and I’m so sorry to report that on the day that we contacted them to propose this idea, they had just found out that they lost their city funding! So… won’t you pls help us support this cause and purchase one - or a dozen! - of these very special valentines? They’re sold as a surprise assortment so you won’t know exactly what you’re getting - it was just impossible to feature every single one, sorry! - but they are all so AMAZING creative hilarious you’re gonna freak. View more here!
Speaking of freaking, I hope you will LOVE our new podcast episode coinciding with the launch of this project. It’s our first-ever all ILLUSTRATED edition of the FF show! Thanks so much to Annie Poon for her great annie-mations. One last thing… Uh, hello? FREE SHIPPING! We wanted to do something special to celebrate this launch so pls enter discount code “love” at checkout with ANY purchase and you’ll save $7.95 on shipping. We LOVE you!

Hello hello hello. I can’t keep it inside, I love the Dr. Martens primary color boots. I never knew such monochrome boots existed. I’m imagining skinny jeans, a white tee shirt, and black mascara. What do you think? I think the dark chocolate magnet set is pretty great too. It was very difficult for me to believe that they weren’t real. So be careful, no matter how much you might want to, do not ingest! The burning bookmark is another tricky one, don’t worry, its not a real flame:) Its only the coolest looking bookmark I’ve ever seen. So what are you waiting for? CLICK THE PIX TO PURCH THE MERCH!

**JACOB SENT ME ALERTZ** Turns out that the time warp brought the castaways back to 1954. Just in time to get wrapped up in the aftermath of an island scorned by the US Government’s reckless nuclear testing. Meanwhile, Desmond tries to make good on his promise to Faraday and visits Oxford for some help. And we get some answers about the history of Charles Widmore.

Taylor Swift is defs the new it-girl. She’s everywhere. Even the model we have today in our photoshoot resembles Taylor. Now, she’s co-designing for L.E.I. and modeling her new digs. He new line of sundresses will be sold at Wal-Mart and will be totally affordable. I think it’s great that a 19yr old had the opportunity to do something so amazing! I’m rooting for her…

Britterz!!! Back that booty up! Show us your muscles! Get down with your bad self! I love everythign about these pics. Brit is working on her up coming tour which kicks off on March 3rd. Apparently, she’s lost 20 pounds in the past few months and she’s hardcpre ready to dance your lights out! She’s also been in all the papers and on like every news show about her controversial song “if you seek amy”. It’s clearly something else, but since its not down right explicit, its all over the radio! Parents are freaking out! Way to ruffle those feathers Brit! Can’t wait to go to the circus!

What do you guys think? Scarlett Johansson’s singing career has kind of taken off a little bit. She’s mainly doing covers, including this one. This is “Last Goodbye” originally by Jeff Buckley now by Mrs Ryan Reynolds. I don’t know how I feel about this song… Maybe you guys can help shine a little light on it!? SHould she keep doing covers or should she start covering her mouth?!

Hi again! Mentioned this earlier but wanted to remind you late night readers that the snail mail valentines for charity will be going on sale Friday! Can’t wait for you to see them. They’re so AMAZING. Have been sorting through the hundreds we received, getting ‘em all organized for the big day, and I just want to say that YOU SRSLY AMAZE ME. Am so blown away moved by your creativity and generosity. The fact that people from Athens, Georgia to Athens, Greece - not kidding! - took time to get crafty and make valentines to benefit Elder Craftsmen is so super inspiring to me.
And many of you sent us valentines as well saying how much you love FF… Totally didn’t expect that but I can’t thank you enough. Every day I marvel at how AWESOME our customers are! You truly surprise me in the most profound ways, people like Angel & her friends above who organized a valentine making party at their local coffee shop, got friends young and old to participate and then sent us a bag of coffee beans along with a big batch of valentines. Srsly? Wow. Thank you. I know I say this in nearly every blog I post but I EFFING LOVE THIS JOB and I love you. Thanks for everything. Forever yours, K

Monday I was running through the warehouse & stopped dead in my tracks. There’s like three boys back there and “The Lift is Up Where We Belong” is cranking full blast. Earlier today I heard Rod Stewart’s cover of “Have I Told You Lately That I Love You?” and then this afternoon Bette Midler comes on. I turn to Jen and say, “Srsly? Dudes are listening to this…” More reasons why I really LOVE the shipping department. You guys light up my life!

Oh my, oh my! The worst news ever!! EVERYONE’S fave lifestyle magazine has officially closed its doors. Friday will be its last day of operation and then all those cute magazine girls will be sent packing. This is totally mind blowing! I can’t believe out of all the magazines to close, this one has been chosen. SO SAD! I hate recessions. We’ve always loved Domino and we’ll always hold it near and dear to our hearts. I’m so sorry! We miss you & love you Domino!

The Spring Couture shows continued to rawk Paris this week, even tho it’s the worst economy in the history of economies.. I guess there’s still a high demand for $10K beaded tulle skirts. Anyhoot, the BFF caught up with some of our tote faves… Check out Keira Knightley and Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel and Kanye West workin’ it at Christian Lacroix. I have to say how much I’m totally in LOVE with Kanye’s new disc, 808s & Heartbreak. Yeah, it’s melancholy but the beats are raw and his style if FEROSH! GO CLUB K!

Sometimes I love Jessica Alba & other times… Well, the opposite. Check out MiserAlba leaving her singing-acting lesson yesterday in LA. Even though she recently made a flub with a reporter calling Sweden the neutral country (duh), she’s still got it all: A gorge hubz, a new babe-inz, a rawkin’ bod & a killer career… Okay, let’s just forget about The Love Guru, kay? But I’m just loving her cas’ style right now. I’m so into the giant scarf meets the purple Katy sunnies… But what the hull is happening on that tee?

Hello there. Are you ready another hot shot debut? It’s a good thing I love jackets and hoodies because we got some exceptionally amazing ones in just the other day. The GAMA-GO feathered friends hoodie is screen printed all the way around with a continuous pattern of perching birds. It’s soft and very very cool. I can’t wait to get it. The spy girl trench is another favorite of mine. With its white line detailing it almost looks like a drawing when you put it on. It’s a perfect homage to female spies in disguise. I also have to mention the adorable pretty pet coin purses. Do you see how cute they are? Jen’s favorite is the bunny, Chris’ is the dog, and mine is the cat. Which is your favorite?
