For a Christmas gift, Britt gave me one of the PostSecret books, the print version of the secrets-only site we’ve mentioned a couple times.
So while sitting on a Key West porch this morning, I reached the end of the book, near which was the following secret:
“I wrote my will today,
Not because it was the sensible thing to do -
But because I am worried about what would happen to my purse collection.”
[Sorry - I don’t bring my scanner along on vacation, but if you’re curious about the picture, it’s of a woman holding a black purse.]
And so this got me wondering - do you have any fashion-related secrets? If so, please share in the comments section so I (and others) can get my fill since the book is done and I still want to know more about everybody.
And if they’re extra good, I’ll even leave mine in there anonymously, too. Brownie points if you can pick it out!
In keeping with sacred internet tradition, we give you the first of Fashionista’s end-of-year lists: Who Should Have Judged Project Runway?
Britt:
1. Isaac Mizrahi: Because, duh.
2. Behati Prinsloo: Because having a model challenge would be genius and Behati’s witty, smart, young and if they need a more commercial angle, she’s the face of Pink. Actually, they should have Behati and Coco do it together. I hardly watch the show anymore, but I’d find a TV for them.
3. Chris Benz: Because he might be the closest thing our generation has to Isaac Mizrahi (I know, but Zac guest judged during Season 4).
Natalie:
1. Isaac Mizrahi: Because this man should have a camera and a stenographer following him at all times.
2. Madonna: Because no one could tear young hopefuls down as thoroughly as Madge, and isn’t that what reality fashion television is all about?
3. Meredith Melling-Burke: Because as arguably one of the most powerful market editors on the planet, she could actually give the contestants useful criticism/information. And she’s really pretty, too (good TV).
And yours?
Can you handle more Fashionista changes?
Look to the right.
We’re making your life, ok and ours, easier with a constant list of upcoming sales, both sample and otherwise on the side of the site.
We’ll still make note of the notable on the main page, ie Stella, Proenza, Margiela, (hey, we can dream about it), but we’ll put every bit of sale information we hear to the right so you know when, where and how to get your hands on last year’s throw away samples.
Just click on the ones you care about for all the details and scroll down for a more thorough list.
And of course, if your name’s Marc and you want us to tell the world about a heavenly sample sale you’re having in a different universe - email tips@fashionista.com.
A memo to our readers:
Back in the summer, we hired on Jeremy Kost to be our party photographer, as the first of many fun changes to hit the site over the coming months. And today, we have another Fashionista member to introduce to you:
Br(it) Boy!
That’s right, we’ve brought on a London correspondent to keep us all abreast of the news/fun/gossip/street style of London, so look out for his five-hours-ahead wisdom and command of information about once a week from now on.
And for an added dose of fun, he’ll be working for us anonymously. But no, no prizes if you figure out who he is, sadly.
Look out for his first installment of information today!

So this is how the story went:
I walked into RRL in Soho, I shop, then do a double take. I say hello to Ms. Wintour and tell her “OMG, I could just cry”, so she says, “No, please don’t cry” in her lovely British accent. I ask for a photo with her, she politely declines saying she’s just left the dentist. Thinking to myself, When is this ever going to happen to me again? Hm, never, I say “Well, you can put your sunglasses on.”
She gives in, puts the Chanel’s on, asks Bee to come take the picture, and there you have it.
Peace, Love and Happiness,
T.

This week was particularly sweltering in New York City.
But what the street lacks in AC, it makes up for in cute, friendly people who are surprisingly willing to entertain us by letting us search their bags.
No puppies this time - instead, we stopped a Melbourne visitor with a Chloé wallet and a model with some serious Sudoku skills.
Enjoy!

“The Balenciaga ones are amazing, but are they really made of Latex? Like condoms for your feet?” - guest at 12:27pm, earlier today, on over-the-knee boots.
Just a friendly reminder - there are a bunch of new posts in Fashionista Community, so comments/advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

“Geez, I’m surprised Google didn’t make their letters all pink and rhinestoned for the day.” - Kyle.
Remember back when Britt and Faran met Joe Corre at the Agent Provocateur / Kate party earlier this month?
Remember how Faran jokingly asked if he would name panties after them? Remember how funny it was when he said he would even though nobody thought he would?
Turns out Joe was dead serious, because here they are, on their way to an AP near you come September.
The one on the left is the Faran, and on the right is the Britt (she actually got two versions, click through to check them out).
Britt would like it to be noted that she’s actually much more conservative than her new panties might imply…
“I just adore Chuck. Each Tuesday morning is indeed the beginning of a very long, boring drought until the following week’s episode. Maybe you can start posting a picture of chuck every Tuesday morning? You could call the new feature “Chuck Bass Tuesdays”…or “About Last Night”…or “Aww, Chucks”. Now what were you saying? Something about clothes, I think…” - Commenter rf, earlier in the day.

Hey,
I was at 1 Oak on Saturday night and there was a big birthday party going on and while I was waiting to go in Stam breezed past me with a troupe of buddies. Moments later Lily Donaldson showed up with Stavros Niarchos and a bunch of pals…
It was like a mini fashion show right there in front of the club.
Just saying…!
Guess we know where a bunch of September’s Fashion Week parties will be…
Everyone!
We are so sorry the site has been so kooky today. Our server is a little out of whack because our sister site, Above The Law, just re-launched, and so there’s been a major lag with publishing.
We are super sorry, and we’re sure the site will be back to total normalcy tomorrow. As for now, please keep checking back! We’re still writing away for you guys.
xoxo, F
