“Black leggings, black tank top and black leather jacket. It’s safe and cheap.” – Lindsay Lohan’s fall back outfit.
Do us a favor.
Glance at the bag at left. Then glance away. Thoughts?
Yeah, we thought it was Louis Vuitton, too.
The flowery shapes, the squares, the colors, the quilting, the chain handle, the silver clasp. If you squint, we swear you can see the LVs.
We’ve clicked through the Chloé sale section on Net-A-Porter about one million times at this point, and this $1,002 “richly embroidered” Katie bag must be a new, and semi-awkward, addition.
Wonder why no one’s buying it?
Sometimes, we wish we were in the army. Okay, maybe not. But we wouldn’t mind wearing the uniform. Case in point: this cute little military inspired number by Jovovich-Hawk on sale at Shopbop.
Military was all over the runway for Fall 08 and this dress fits the bill perfectly, kind of reminding us of the Temperley show, over which we obsessed. It’s simple enough that the military influence isn’t overwhelming and the brocade fabric makes it evening appropriate while it’s gold buttons and classic cut kind of make you feel you just scored a gem at some obscure vintage store.
We could totally picture it with little black flats in the summer but if we paired it with black tights and boots we’d rock it all through winter. The best part? A $500 dress at 70% off – click quick!

Karolina Kurkova is:
1. Pretty.
2. Tall.
3. Blonde.
4. A Victoria’s Secret Angel.
5. …Fat?
Everybody’s in a tizzy after a reporter noted the crowd’s face at the Cia Maritima show in Sao Paulo this week after Karolina walked the runway, in only a bikini, looking…”chubby”?
Did we already finish sympathizing with models for the extreme pressure they’re under to maintain unhealthy (and usually unflattering) weights?
We can’t imagine living in a world that calls a woman fat because she may have had a few dots of cellulite on her behind while wearing approximately 1/2 yard of fabric – but oh wait, we do.
MAC is teaming up with Ungaro’s Esteban Cortazar for fall.
It’s the second “from the runway” collaboration for the make-up giant, after partnering with Alexander McQueen last year. (They don’t count Heatherette because their make-up wasn’t based on anything runway related.)
The Ungaro colors, set to debut this fall, will feature a “softer palette of delicate shades of pinks, blues and lilacs” said MAC make-up artist Sharon Dowsett, “It’s a colorful collection but very transparent so you don’t have to worry about overdoing it.”
Sounds pretty, but we still don’t understand limited edition designer make-up. Unless Pat McGrath’s in your bathroom every morning, armed and ready with liquid eyeliner, you’re not going to look like you walked off a Parisian runway, no matter whose designs inspired the color on your lids.
Still, if we had our pick, we’d love to see someone partner with Luella – can you imagine the pink lipsticks and glitter eyeshadows?! Maybe Stila can give her a call once their Marchesa shades sell out?
We have never read Psychology Today, though perhaps this Fall we will start.
That’s when the magazine will have a story exploring the psychological separations of fashion and style, at least according to one well-dressed teen who was stopped on the street by a photographer last week who claimed to work for the magazine.
We imagine there are many ways to describe trends in psychological terms – pack mentalities, aspirations, alpha men and women, whatever.
But we can’t help thinking this is just an excuse for Psychology Today to feature cute teenagers in its otherwise un-pored pages.
We’ll post the full article when we find it, and who knows – maybe it’ll make us feel intellectually superior to all the women with studded pyramid heels in the Tents this September.
Okay, sadly not…
