So, I will admit I was kinda hoping for an Amanda Peet sighting at the Thakoon show, you know because she’s there like every season. But no dice on that front. Other than Ciara, it was actually a refreshingly celeb-free zone, considering how much attention the designer’s gotten since Mrs. O started sporting his wares.

This collection had me at the first print, though apparently in my excitement I did something to my camera setting that caused for some unseemly photos. Thank god for Style.com’s here. I loved how he mixed patterns I would never in a million years put together and made them look really freakin’ cool.

There was lots and lots and lots of blue, from turquoise to royal. When it comes to blues, I usually stick with navy, and only navy. But Thakoon may just have lured me into the sea tones for springtime.

And now I know I’m officially entering the crazy place because after typing that paragraph about blue, the only image now entering my head is Arrested Development’s Tobia Fünke taking a turn in Blue Man Group. I think I really need to get some sleep, stat.

Joe Zee, star of The City and Creative Director of Elle, is in LA this week.

He hosted an event called “Hit the Road, Text Later” with Ciara as part of California’s campaign to stop texting while driving. (Which, after texting my way up and down the state of California while driving for a month I can attest is a major problem. I’m still amazed I never crashed.)

However, during this past week Joe tweeted from a text message that his car was playing office. Then he took this picture of a woman’s foot hanging out of a car, while in his own vehicle. Then he took this picture of traffic, from inside the tunnel in which he was stuck traffic. And then this one of a pretty posh Rolls Royce in which you can actually see Joe’s side mirror — all actually texted into Twitter.

Yes, this made us laugh out loud. Maybe he should stick to fashion parties since that’s a cause he actually believes in? But seriously, please don’t crash Joe! Fashion Week wouldn’t be the same without you.

Okay, Ciara isn’t exactly a new singer on the scene, but people are starting to talk about her real potential to become a new musical style icon, à la Beyoncé, Lady Gaga or Rihanna. We’re not so sure.

We liked the “Love Sex Magic” video, but not totally because of its style. Well, we dug the zebra print jumper, and the white leotards were classy, and the girl is seriously bend-y in serious heels. But mostly it was insanely sexy and our heart stopped a little when she licked Justin Timberlake’s ear. But we were excited to see what she was bringing to the table this time around.
