Fashion and the Famous !!!!!!

So is it just me or does it feel like EVERYBODY and their mama is getting clothing lines???  Most recently have been the K's otherwise known as the Kardashians and J. Lo and her new Kohls line. Now I have personally had the opportunity to check out both lines and unfortuantely there is no comparison. The Kardashians bring it home HANDS DOWN!!!! The J.Lo collection although slightly cute and somewhat trendy seems to be a collection full of basics there are no signature pieces or anything that stands out at all. I feel like J.Lo is always fab when she steps out and her clothing line in Kohls can not not hold a candle to her personal style. The Kardashian line although slightly poor in quality it is very trendy the line includes basics, "highlight" pieces, must have accessories and a little something for everyone.  Below are few pieces from each collection... YOU DECIDE !
