A Right to Bear Charms
Mar 25, 2008 @ 3:52pm
Attention makeup collectors and unabashed logo whores:
Neiman Marcus still has a stash of the YSL lip gloss charms in stock, and you can buy them online.
The charms come filled with YSL Beaute color, but that's obviously not the point -
The real deal is they're attached to a chain-link bracelet, and stamped with the huge and coveted YSL logo.
The last time these charms debuted, at Saks, we saw them fly off the shelves faster than hot chocolate chip cookies, so forgive our astonishment, but here you go.

Spotted: A couple of Gossip boys hanging out at my local pub - which turns into my local "lounge" once a week - if you catch my drift.
Do you think the rumors are true?
Or is this just some serious method acting?

10 Questions for The Hills
Mar 25, 2008 @ 3:03pm
Because you knew it had to happen...
10. Hey girls, how’d you get Karl Lagerfeld's bodyguard to pick you up from the airport?
9. Who has let Whitney intern at W without saying "Givenchy" ?!
8. How much did Alberta Ferretti pay for that product placement? And how hard is Annelise Peterson smiling right now?
7. Natalie wants me to discuss Heidi's plastic surgery, but I have a better issue: Has anyone else noticed that Heidi’s face in the opening credits is like two seconds long, compared to the five seconds for Whitney, Audrina, and Lauren?
6. Who noticed the paparazzi shooting Lauren as she left Colette?
5. Raise your hand if you prefer Whitney naked, and not in a Ferretti ballgown?
4. How much weight has Spencer gained?!!!!
3. Wait, Lauren: 20 minutes is a SHORT shower?
2. Why doesn't someone take the snow shovel and hit Spencer with it? Over the head?
***At this point in the program, Faran would like to point out that when she went to Paris last year to work for Teen Vogue, she took the Metro everywhere and had no driver… and had no itinerary… though Vogue and Teen Vogue’s Paris bureau staff were unbelievable and amazing. I feel bad for Lauren and Whitney that they weren't introduced to them; they massively missed out. And now, back to the show***
1. Indie rock bands just sort of hang at the Plaza Athenee? What?
0. Raise your hand if you screamed to the television, "Lauren, do not wear your ballgown to a nightclub"?!
-1. OMG chest hair. OMG silly French jealousy. OMG.
-2. Whitney,you thought you’d get to style the Crillon Ball? What?!
-3. So, which MTV producer switched on that curling iron when you weren't looking?
-4. Did anyone else notice they played the same rock song that's in the Sex and the City finale? And that made it sort of a party foul?
-5. Is there a perverse pleasure in watching Whitney and Lauren stand to the side as other rich girls get pampered and photographed at this Crillon Ball?
-6. Did Princess Beatrice sign up for this crap? Oh no, she did not.
-7. "PERHAPS YOU SHOULD PURSUE THAT, WHITNEY" ?!
-8. LC, you already ruined one ball gown and now you're gonna get on a Vespa in another one?
-9. Audrina, why are you letting Heidi into your house? Don't you know Lauren has control issues?
-10. Kelly Cutrone, where have you been all our lives?! YAY!
Streetwalker: Tight Club

Jess, 19, British fashion student.
Got Her: Outside the Anna Sui store in Soho.
Stalked Her: Because she looked cool and age appropriate.
Shot Her: Because she looked cool and age appropriate (sometimes, it's that easy).
She Says: "I run around all day and I can't wear heels. I've been wearing Converse since I was a kid and they've just become a big part of my style. And the colored tights are from my mum's closet, they're like, vintage nylon tights from the '70s. It's an easy way to look like you've done something with your style, even if you haven't!"
We Say: Love at first tight!
Love is Blind. We Are Not. Land of the Free.

WHICH award-winning actress, who recently snagged a fashion campaign, has a habit of stealing shoes from showrooms? The Hollywood thief makes appointments to look at dresses, then sweeps 8 or 9 pairs of designer heels into a duffel bag at the end of each visit!
"I mean, I like my Skechers, but I love my Prada backpack"
Mar 25, 2008 @ 1:54pm
We haven't considered wearing a backpack as a fashion statement since Dionne in Clueless, but since we've been fashion traveling to the 90's lately, we find ourselves pondering them once again.
We know what the backpack means to many - Little kids, fifth grade field trips to Six Flags, 90210; you get the drift.
But we've been thinking they'd be kind of cute on the right person, as part of the right spring ensemble. Couldn't you see a slouchy black patent version in place of the standard clutch? And bonus - we could actually bring more than just a credit card and lip gloss at night.
Kanye West proclaimed himself the first guy "with a Benz and a backpack," (and we could totally see one hanging off Chloe Sevigny's arm, though we're not sure if that's a good thing for us), and a friend of ours recently bought a red and black buffalo plaid backpack to sport around the city. Maybe not the teddy bear sac we handed down to our little cousin, and not quite the Louis Vuitton minis of Canal Street, but something in between could miraculously work...?
Though we're still not completely sold on the look, backpacks are more practical than lugging around a hardware cluttered Marc Jacobs - and there is that whole thing about looking good if you feel good, right?
So what do you think - to two strap? Or not to two strap?

Marc for Hollister?
Mar 25, 2008 @ 11:11am
If we saw someone walking down the street in the Marc by Marc tee to the right, we'd think "oh, Hollister."
And we'd be right, sort of.
Marc's cute Fly Away tee looks suspiciously like something from the teen mall favorite, and not just because of the general vibe, but because it looks a little too much like Hollister's Dockweiler Beach tee.
Could the above shirts really be a coincidence?
Or is Marc making a second career of copying randoms?

Kimball: "So you feel like everything went well?"
Whitney: "Yeah, I think so..."
Kimball: "Because I didn't feel like at the shoot, when you were taking down all the notes [deubutantes' names and ages], it didn't seem quite...natural, to me. ... So, where would you see yourself?"
Whitney: "I sort of see myself in styling."
Kimball: "Then maybe you should pursue that."

Another Star is Born

If you had any doubt that Michelle Trachtenberg is the next big prime time thing, think again.
Just four days after the announcement of her induction into the Gossip Girl cast, and we're already being bombarded with PR e-mail blasts like, "Michelle Trachtenberg selects Lela Rose for the 25th Annual Paley TV Festival for Buffy the Vampire Slayer!"
We're already wondering which of the GG cast will end up the Katie Holmes of the bunch, the one that actually continues to be legitimately famous well after the show has ended.
We'd normally bet on Blake, just because she's so cute, or maybe Leighton because it appears that she can really act, but now we're thinking it could end up Michelle, who has by far the most experience of the cast - and she hasn't even filmed her first scene yet.
Clearly, at least a mid-summer Teen Vogue cover is in order here.
