This shapeless top from the SJP Bitten clothing line was the best thing we could find...and that's not saying much.
We finally made it to a Steve and Barry's store to check out Sarah Jessica Parker's Bitten clothing line—and it was awful. Just awful. We had expected it to be so much more...but it was like going to Old Navy. Not that there's anything wrong with Old Navy, but we just thought the point of her doing a fashion line was to offer women something new and different.
We're so confused. Has Sarah Jessica ever been to Old Navy? She did an ad campaign for GAP, right? So, does she not remember that these stores already exist? Why would her supposedly revolutionary new line consist merely of poorly-constructed tees, cargo capris and high-waisted jeans?
The selection was so poor, we couldn't even find anything to buy with a giftcard. That's right, we got a giftcard when we attended the Oprah show during which SJP debuted Bitten—free money, and we still didn't spend it because there was nothing we wanted to wear. How sad is that?
My Bitten SJP Freak handbag. Loves it!
We should note that there is one item from Bitten that we still love, and that's our SJP Bitten "Freak" bag (also a freebie from the show). We didn't at first but as we started using it and the compliments from strangers began streaming in, we warmed up to it. Hmm, wonder why.

in the 70's it started when one of the original charlie's angels, jaclyn smith, 'designed' a line of clothing for k-mart. in those days celebrity designers were unprecedented. the line sold well and it was cute, but she actually was shown wearing the stuff in the ads. but now madonna, sjp, etc., come on - they don't wear anything that's less than 4 digits in price!
We doubt SJP's clothing will be around in 20 years. Ditto for Madonna, her collection has already gone the way of the dinosaur.
