gemma ward argentine editorial.jpgShe’s Back Y’all: Gemma Ward’s not going anywhere, thank god. She’s just taking a mini-break from modeling. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if she got back into it without losing those twenty pounds? {Fashionologie}

Blurry Blogging: An even deeper look into the world of fashion blogging. Do you embrace the industry? Stay away from it? Can you be a part of it and still be a real-life blogger? {Blackbook}

One More Time: The age-old, never-ending debate about whether or not girls can be both into fashion and smart, or more importantly, taken seriously. {Telegraph}

kristen stewart proenza.jpgProenza-envy: Kristen Stewart’s roaming the world with two heartthrobs and she’s wearing new Proenza. If we were sixteen we’d be green with jealousy over the former, but we’re positively devastated over the latter.{NYMag}

#saveluella: We wish we’d thought of this first. The Guardian’s Fashion Statement column’s composed an Ode to Luella. It says, “Luella, we will miss / The frills / The spills,” and more. {Guardian}

Shop Someone Else’s Closet: Nikki Laura, one of our favorite still-standing neighborhood boutiques, finally got online this week. She stocks Grey Ant and stingray clutches from Khirma Eliazov that we’re obsessed with. {NikkiLaura}

I Wanna Be A Super-Robot: Time’s released their list of the 50 Best Inventions of 2009; it includes a fashion robot. She’s 5’2” and 95 pounds, which sounds like Daphne Guinness’ proportions, not Lily’s.{Time}

For Serious:
Selfridge’s is having a garage sale, except instead of old Easy Bake Ovens you can buy Gwyneth’s Balenciaga and Liz Hurley’s Helmut Lang. {StyleFile}

kristen stewart dolce gabbana dazed and confused.jpgCrushed Leopard: Can a cast have a cumulative crush? Marie Claire thinks all of New Moon is obsessed with Dolce & Gabbana. Maybe. We think it’s more probable they grab what they see first. {MarieClaire}

Who Is Yvie: Have you checked out YSL’s new blog yet? They’re sending five bloggers around the States for “experience.” Not like Kate’s experience in the commercial, but still fun. {YSL}

Get Your Blog On: If you’ve always dreamed of blogging your way through London Fashion Week, you’re probably too young to enter this competition. If you are old enough though, here’s your chance to land backstage at Somerset House. {Grazia}

kate moss topshop christmas.jpgGreen’s Growth: Everything you’ve ever wanted to know about Sir Phillip Greene, except of course the answer to the age old question, can he finally conquer America. So far so good, but even Kate Moss can only get Topshop so far. {Bloomberg}

Party Time: Heidi Klum and Seal threw their annual Halloween bash in LA this weekend. We spy crows, Gaga, a single lady and best of all Kelly Osbourne and Luke Worrall as bacon and eggs. {Modelinia}

Bazaar’s New Moon: Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are apparently on the next cover of Harper’s Bazaar. Vampire anything “At Every Age” seems rather hard to manage with them not aging and all. Pattinson’s also landed the December cover of Vanity Fair though he, unlike Shia and the others, isn’t christened the next _____.{WWD} & {VanityFair}

West Coast Style: The CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalists took their show on the road to Los Angeles, the Chateau Marmont to be exact. And there was a Lisa Love sighting which made us miss her days on The Hills. {Vogue}

Twilight Zone

4907_8381[1].jpgWe’ve found a lot of cute clothing on Fred Flare this summer, but when we saw the “Twilight Jacket”, we practically snorted.

The website is really trying to convince us that the bland and frumpy hoodie is actually “extra-stylish”, but apparently they don’t even need to try that hard, because the page informs us that there are only five still available in small/medium sizes.

Okay, people like hoodies. But this is clearly Fred Flare jumping on Twilight’s bandwagon for a buck, and people are shelling out $64 to show their love. If you really just wanted a hoodie, American Apparel has some for $42. And you can definitely find them even cheaper other places.

Would You Wear The New Mullet?

little js rocking mullet ew.jpgI cannot, for the life of me, figure out why the mullet’s become the hot cut in Hollywood?

I blame Taylor Momsen. She dabbled in mullets late last year. Then Taraji P. Henson inexplicably traded in her chic bob for a neck cape. And now Kristen Stewart? (Yes, we know it’s for a movie, but still.)

Why would anyone with access to the best of the best hair gurus choose to wear a style that’s more redneck than red carpet? And perhaps more importantly, what self-respecting stylist actually thinks this is a good idea for their client? Do they really want to be known as the master of the mullet?

On top of the catastrophe of the haircut itself, it makes any outfit look awkward. Can you imagine Taraji’s mullet topping off that gorgeous white Roberto Cavalli dress she wore to the Oscars? It does the designer a serious disservice because we’re all too busy staring at a loopy hairdo instead of even glancing at the the garment.

Usually when a style takes the celebrity world by storm (the Rachel, the Pob, etc.), it’s because it’s flattering even if you don’t look like a celeb, but I really don’t think there’s anyone, model or celebrity alike, who could pull this look off.

Unless of course I’ve missed the point and it’s supposed to be cool and kitschy? Please tell me it’s not.

Non-Actress Fragrance News: Some designers still like models in their perfume ads. Anything that puts Claudia Schiffer in front of the lens more often is a very good thing indeed. {Modelinia}

High Standards?: We already loved the new Standard NY, but this makes it even more interesting. In totally unrelated Standard news, congrats to Joey Jalleo, the new director of special projects at the hotel! {DailyIntel}
