Battle of the Packs

I don’t want to speak for everyone here at Fashionista, but I for one just can’t have anything to do with the reincarnation of the fanny pack. I don’t care who makes it or how much it costs. Just no. That’s it for me. And don’t even get me started on the kitten heel. This [...]

A Very Diesel Time

On Friday, Diesel sent a handful of editors a party-in-a-box. It had one pair of glow in the dark jeans, a glow stick, a whistle, a sugar-free Red Bull, Belvedere vodka, a black light and loads of confetti. Why? I wasn’t sure. It turns out they’re throwing a party next Tuesday, October 27th. Though we [...]
