Hey Fashionista!
Love your site...but am rankled.
Why? You are reposting and reposting other peoples editorials, but not crediting the mag and not always the photog (though we can see his name here).
Not only are we curious - who, where, why? -- we also can't help but feel that its relying a little to heavily on the intellectual property of others to provide your content ---something you give others quite a hard time for...

ps - catherine looks damned fine.

The sixties and seventies (seventies in particular) are my favorite decades for inspiration. Style in this era evokes diversity and brilliance, a sense of freedom that translates into fashion followers identifying those pieces that leave them wholly besotted. The fluidity, motion, color pallets, prints, textures, and intricate details allow the vixens of the world to define that which makes them singular, special, and therefore irresistible.

guest #8, we always post the name of the magazine. just read the tags at the bottom in the red letters, they're there 100% of the time. as for the photog, you should always be able to read the name in the title page of the spread, which is always the first page after the jump.

While it's true you include the name of the mag in very small type near the bottom of the post, it took me a number of visits to this site to figure that out. It's very discreet.
I do think it's often difficult or impossible to read the name of the photographer (you are, after all, take an 8x11 page and condensing it online). Just a couple examples:

http://fashionista.com/2008/07/post_1266.php#more
And what I find most frustrating is that the stylist is pretty much NEVER listed.
I've never understood why, if you take the time to scan these spreads and they do make up such a substantial portion of your content, you don't take the time to provide legible citations...it's not only fair (and consistent with your otherwise close attention to intellectual property), it's also information that is interesting to your readers.
