Play Date: When two fashion people, a photographer and a model, land in a wooden house in the forest, Todd Selby still manages to make it look fashion-y. Peek inside Shannan Click and Dan Martensen’s upstate New York house. {TheSelby}
The Never Ending Question: Do you fur? Do you not fur? When is it okay to fur? Despite Peta’s Kardashian recruits, fur is currently more popular than ever. {TheGuardian}
Jealous Much: Beyoncé went shopping at Harvey Nichols on Saturday and bought an awful lot of stuff we’ve been dying to get our hands on—from Christopher Kane to Rodarte. Oh to be a world famous pop star who also happens to be married to Hova. Sigh. {Grazia}

This just in from five hours into the future:
Bad news: The first copies of LOVE are still being printed - as in, right this second - so those advance copies at Harvey Nichols and Dover Street Market are happening only on Saturday.
Fun news: The Beth Ditto cover is a full naked page, kind of like when the major singer posed for NME in ‘07.
So make that a Valentine’s Day launch for LOVE and a cover that may not be as original as we’d hoped.
For those of you wondering when Proenza’s line of bags will be available to more people than their socialite friends, here’s your answer:
The line - dubbed PS 1 after the New York City public school system and not the boys’ initials, as previously thought - debuts at Harvey Nichols next month, and on Net-a-Porter (for the rest of us) in March.
Start saving now. Otherwise, you could always try DIY-ing the bag at left by covering a stiff clutch with a vintage safari jacket, no?
Update: Ah, yes, they’re on barneys.com.
Harvey Nichols just got a little cuter. The departments stores eschewed Darias, Sashas and Aggys, in favor of some very cute and quirky celebs - made of plasticine, naturally.
The new campaign features Wallace, Gromit and even Lady Campanula Tottingham decked out in designer duds - they look pretty awesome. Sure, Lady Tottingham could stand to get her teeth fixed and Wallace might want to reconsider the glasses-perched-on-bald-head look, but over all the clay trio looks quite chic.
Who knew that Alexander McQueen could look so good on a plasticine body? (Well, Britt knew of course).
Maybe this could lead to a whole new career for the clay made cartoons - we could totally see Juergen Teller shooting Lady Campanula Tottington in some Viv Westwood ads. And wouldn’t Wallace look adorable posing in a pair of Calvins? Watch out Beckham.
