Looky-Loo: Little J landed her own cover. She’s looking exceptionally cute and age appropriate on the cover of Teen Vogue’s September issue. {TeenVogue}

Fort Lauderdale, Really? One of our favorite hairstylists, Ted Gibson, is opening a salon in the former Spring Break mecca. But he promises it’s cool now. {W}

Now That Makes More Sense: We were confused about the whole Balenciaga/Air Tahiti uniform situation when we first read about it. The Times sorts out the matter. Who knew there was such a licensee as Balenciaga Uniforms? {The Moment}

Gilt Grows: Come August 12th we’ll definitely be checking out the more affordable Gilt Fuse to see if the sales are anywhere as good as so many of those on their big sister site. {Slaves To Fashion}

We’re huge fans of Brian Reyes, both the man and his gorgeous clothes.

Unfortunately we’re not often able to purchase said clothes on our budget. Enter his first sale on Gilt Groupe.

The clothes are super cute and the prices are even cuter. Some of our favorites are already sold out but there are still some great pieces left. The trench coats are an amazing deal as far as we’re concerned.

Go now before it’s too late!

Girl Crush: We’ve had a major one on Kim Gordon since our days of reading Sassy. Time and this video have only made our hearts grow fonder. {Style}

Winner!: My soccer team won its championship game last week and I took home what I though was a pretty kick ass trophy for Brooklyn co-ed soccer. But it would not impress this art director. {TheMoment}

In Memoriam: Alexander McQueen’s sequined Isabella Blow dress is going for $1098 - it was originally $7390. {Gilt}

I Wanna Be a Supermodel: But I never will be. So if you think you can, you should probably apply to Elite Chicago’s online modeling competition. {Elite}

Catherine Malandrino Logs On: The designer and Make Me a Supermodel judge has a new website. It’s really colorful and pretty, just like her clothes. There’s a shopping section now, too. {CatherineMalandrino}

For Sure: Anja’s on the cover of Vogue Nippon’s beauty issue and Daily Feed thinks it’s time the girl landed a cosmetics contract. Um, yes. {Models}

Ah!: The thirteen-year-old girl inside me is dying over No Doubt’s performance on The Today Show this morning. The twenty-four-year old is loving the Balmain (I think) Current/Elliott jeans Gwen’s rocking. {NBC}

Oh Boy: Alexander Wang’s up for GAP. Meanwhile, will the sun please just fucking shine already so we can break out our almost vintage Rodarte for Gap? {TeenVogue}

Bubbles Away: Stephen Jones has built a hat for Perrier-Jouët. The bespoke anemone hat comes inside a white leather champagne hat box for a mere £5,000. {LOVE}

SPOTTED: McQueen’s butterfly printed caftan, an Isabella Blow sequined dress, black lace, the gold winged spectacle and loads of skull scarves.

This morning, among emails from people we actually know, our inbox was filled with notes from Abercrombie & Fitch, Barneys, Bergdorf, Michael Kors, Neiman Marcus, Tiffany & Co., and Pottery Barn - and it’s only 9:00.

Is it just us, or do you delete these immediately and move on? We could just click ‘unsubscribe’ at the bottom of each one, but we let them keep coming with the hope of learning something earth-shattering.

We do occasionally find a golden nugget of goodness in the subject line - free shipping on whatever or amazing new shoes with our name on them. But usually it’s things that we couldn’t care less about like post-collegiate Abercrombie sweatshirts or floral frilly bikinis from Urban Outfitters - all because we bought a t-shirt from them five years ago.

So to those responsible for mass emailing, may we suggest asking our product preferences? Something as simple as are you a boy or a girl? And perhaps a comments section in which we can give a thumbs up or down?

We understand the rationale behind bombarding us with information to see what sticks, but it’s getting ridiculous. We read Net-a-Porter’s Wednesday emails religiously, and look forward to Colette’s monthly newsletters because their content’s worth reading.

If you really need to reach us everyday, why don’t you start a blog?

Hi Fashionista!

So I was on Gilt Groupe today checking out their Thread Social selection. I’m a huge Thread Social fan and bought some awesome dresses for summer. But then I was on Net-a-Porter, for kicks, and found a few of the exact same pieces for full price!

Like this flower corsage dress is $565 and $168 at the same time or this ruffled grey mini goes from $505 on Net-a-Porter to $158 on Gilt.

How can they get away with that? And who in the world would buy it full price when it’s less than half on Gilt?

Love you guys!

Happy Shopper
