All Hail Fast: The more Mark Fast, the better. Emily Blunt looks incredible in the cream feathered mini, and she sounds just as perfect in this interview. {LATimes}

Most Coveted: Great, now we can’t stop thinking about a YSL bag that doesn’t even really exist yet. “Chyc” might be the worst name, but the shape and the color more than make up for it. {StyleFile}

The Juicy Bits: Donatella Versace talks models and ego. She wishes today’s girls had more personality and looked less natural. We wish they had Cindy’s hair. {Independent}

So Fresh & So Clean: Marc Jacobs has made an air freshener. It’s a daisy chain, that smells like Marc’s daisy fragrance, and you can buy it at Sephora. {Nylon}

Claw Money: If you can’t make Christina Hendricks look fantastic, you probably shouldn’t attempt to knock off McQueen and Nicholas Kirkwood in one shoe, or else you’ll end up with this disastrous looking creation. {Racked}

Welcome to Beckham Island: Rumor has it that Victoria Beckham’s designing a hotel on the island Karl Lagerfeld’s developing in Dubai. Sounds fierce and major. {Vogue UK}

Winter Whites for Spring: Karl showed Chanel’s couture collection in Paris this morning. Long live big hair and little bows! {Fashionologie}

“The last few years I’ve done hardly any modeling; when it’s with a brilliant photographer, or to support this film, for example, or it’s very interesting, then I’ll do it here and there. But for the most part, I’ve really enjoyed the process of acting, and I’d be more inclined to dedicate my time to that.”—Lily Cole, a model’s whose acting career actually sounds kinda promising, to NYLON.

Abbey Road: We were already obsessed with this Greg Kadel shoot from the behind-the-scenes video. The pictures are even better than we imagined. Most of them are topless, just so you know. {Fashion Gone Rogue.}

Ad it Up: Jenny Humphrey might have just landed herself a major campaign. It’s no Eleanor Waldorf, but we’re sure it made her IMG agents very happy this holiday season. No word yet on whether ripped tights are involved in the styling. {Nylon}

This and That: As if you needed a reminder, but Rodarte for Target launches on the 20th. VF paired up some collection Rodarte against the lookbook so that people can understand what’s going on, kind of. {Vanity Fair}

In Stam’s Stam: Seeing as models get access to just about every product on the planet, we really never tire of seeing what they actually choose to carry around The girl’s got a very nice little mix going on, we’d recommend paying attention to her picks. {Style}

At last night’s holiday party for Evisu, the walls were covered in sketches - for women’s clothes.

Scott Morrison’s finally embracing the girls in his life, he’s hired one of our favorite designers, Catherine Holstein, to develop a whole line of women’s clothes.

Last night was the first we’d heard of the collaboration - though we just notice it tucked into a Nylon item in this month’s Hilary Duff-covered issue this morning - and we can’t wait to see the sketches realized for spring.

Aside from jeans, we’re hoping Cat’s girli-ness filters down to an everyday price point. And if she could throw in some of those slouchy sweater hats from two seasons ago, that’d be swell.

‘Tis the Season: I can’t say that I miss putting together gift guides like I used to do in my magazine days. They’re a serious undertaking to organize and shoot. But I still love looking at well-edited ones like this. I mean, rainbow Thomas Pink collar bones—what’s not to love. {The Moment}

Gems from Zahm: Any headline that reads “Sex is life. Professional pornography is just capitalism” is automatically going to draw us in—especially when it comes from the mouth of Purple’s Olivier Zahm. {Gawker}

Belle of the Ball: After a few quick pics the other day, Jane Aldridge has put up a bunch more from her trip to Paris for the Crillon Ball. Doesn’t it look like this may be the happiest day in her mother’s life, wedding and childbirth included? {Sea of Shoes}

Rumors Prove True: And no we’re not talking about Tiger Woods, though we are fairly obsessed with the whole scandale. Nope, it’s the Target and Liberty ones. The pairing is real and official and coming in March. {Vogue UK}

Mr. Doonan Goes to Washington: In yet another chic move, the Obamas are bringing in Simon Doonan to do the White House Christmas decorations. We can’t wait to see what he does. {NY Times}

The Cat Came Back: Cat McNeil’s back and on the cover of the new Vogue Australia. Hip hip hooray! And she’ll be walking NYFW. {News.com.au} via {Refinery29}

Tivo Time: Bravo’s finally announced an air date for Kelly Cutrone’s reality show, Kell on Earth. We may have never watched The City were it not for the People’s Rev boss, so we have high hopes for the unintentional comedy factor. {UPI}

SBSP Meets Interlocking C’s: This is what happens when Karl Lagerfeld gets together with Spongebob Squarepants—pleather and Chanel shades, of course. {Nylon}

Good Romance: This TUSH editorial of Siri makes us want to run off into the woods and dress up like a fairy. Unfortunately, we are not supermodels, nor five year old girls, so this seems less than logical. {FashionGoneRogue}

On the Traina: Erin Kleinberg sure does love her famous daughters/socials as models. First it was Theodora Richards. This season, it’s Vanessa Traina. {Nylon}

Rent-a-Dress: Topshop’s latest initiative will let consumers hire a dress for a day from the likes of Kate Moss, Freida Pinto, Sophie Dahl, and Christopher Kane with their Dress Me Up campaign. Then they’ll be auctioned off for two of their favorite charities for the elderly. {VogueUK}

Blog-alicious: Meet Caroline. She’s guest blogging for Lucky (how we found her), but she’s actually a textile designer with her own blog full of illustrations, both fashion and otherwise, and other very pretty things. {ItLooksGoodToMe}

Oscar & Valentino: The designer’s doc is on the short-list for an Oscar nom. Sadly, The September Issue is not. But we’re still pulling for a fashion victory. Also, we couldn’t be more excited for Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin to host. {Vogue UK}

Thigh High: The kids over at Nylon sound like they had a grand old time recreating Miuccia’s super festive socks and they’re letting us in on the scheme. Just in time for party season. Hooray! {Nylon}

This is the End: They may be denying it, but sources say there’s a major brawl going down between executives at Ungaro over what else? La Lohan. Let’s hope the best man wins. {Page Six}

“I dress just like Serena! I own half her wardrobe.” — Blake Lively in Nylon, while we relish how un-Serena-like she looks on the cover.

Extreme Carine: Isabeli snags a French Vogue cover, shot by David Sims which we like very much. We also like coverlines that actually make us pay attention. How extreme will they go? Can’t wait to see. {Models.com}

Two All Beef Patties, Special Sauce, Etc: Yesterday it was moustache tees. And today brings a shirt featuring another one of our favorite things, Big Macs. Thanks Traver Rains! {Nylon}

Product Overload: We’re so pumped to see Nine , unattractive Vogue cover notwithstanding. The ladies look so gorgeous in the trailer but we had no idea there was that much product on set. But when Rob Marshall says it’s “all about the hair” you gotta stock up on hairspray. {Allure}

Costume Season: We don’t mean the kind that comes with candy corn. Though these pieces of jewelry make us equally happy and decidedly less nauseous. {W}

In Vogue’s April issue, Sally Singer hung out with Zoe Kravitz and Olivia Thirlby while they searched high and low for clog boots.

Though no one, from Alex Wang to Opening Ceremony knew what she was talking about, Olivia insisted, “I’m bringing back the clog.”

To which we thought, “No thank you.”

And then of course they stomped their way down Chanel’s runway and forced us to think about them again. So here we are a couple of weeks later, split down the middle. Last night over post-party pizza I told Faran I’d never ever wear clogs. Ever. She gave them a resounding, “Hell yes.” (Though she’s had this debate before.)

Intern Alyssa says no, “They’re ugly and unflattering. Maybe a step up from Crocs,” and intern Kate agrees, “When I was little I had them in lots of different colors to match my outfits. But my mom dressed me, so I had no free will.”

Say What Alber: Remember when Alber told The New Yorker he’d never do a diffusion line? And then when he did do a diffusion line? Someone did and someone asked and he just couldn’t handle it. {ElleUK}

On McQueen: Try to break up your Sarah Mower with other important critics. Like Hilary Alexander’s Alexander McQueen review; it’s twice as long and has a video of the show (since Lady Gaga killed the initial live stream for most of us). {The Telegraph}

The Fat Lady Is Not Singing Yet: It’s still unclear how many more names will be added to the 180 that already lost their jobs this week at Condé Nast. How un-fun are those flights back from Paris going to be? {NY Observer}

They All Fall Down: We’re rather partial to the “Drop It Like You’re Hot” but what’s your favorite Falling Model dance? What would have happened to me if I ever tried to put on those McQueen shoes defies all known categories. {The Frisky}

Pretty Babies: Chanel and Jourdan are on the new Teen Vogue cover, looking beyond adorable. Yay! And the mag put together some of their most fabulous runway moments. {Teen Vogue}

It’s Official: Renzo Rossi finally confirms the long-believed rumor that Martin Margiela is not designing for the Maison. Apparently he’s “here but not here” which sounds to have just the right amount of mystery. {Vogue UK}

Back in Plaid: These shoes mark the return of the Burberry plaid. Are you ready for it, or is it still too soon for you? {Nylon}

The Season of the Nail: We haven’t seen this much chatter about nails in quite a few seasons. But we like it, because what’s easier or more fun to change than your nails. Plus for all you West Coasters there’s a rundown of great mani/pedi places in LA, including one of my personal faves, Recess. {LA Times}

Future’s Too Bright: Alexander Wang’s teamed up with Linda Farrow for super awesome SS10 sunglasses. Nylon snapped a picture at MAGIC in Vegas. {Nylon}

Hilfiger’s New Man: Word is Peter Som might be hired on as a consultant at Tommy Hilfiger. He wouldn’t be our first guess, but he makes a helluva a lot more sense than Miguel Adrover who was apparently on the short list. {WWD}

Inspiring Movements: Jezebel explains why we need Lady Gaga. We seriously can’t wait to see this art-installion like VMA performance with fashion that is a “representation of the most stoic and memorable martyrs of fame in history.” Bring it, G. {Jezebel}

As if New York Fashion Week wasn’t enough to worry about, a solid chunk of the fashion pack is in Vegas right now at the Capsule tradeshow.

The gossip is, of course, making its way back to New York at a rapid pace. So far we’ve learned that most designers are actually giving peeks of their SS10 collections - the ones set to debut on next week’s (ah!) runways. News of a few major collaborations is trickling in, too.

We also hear Victoria’s Secret is in the process of building a metal cape. That would be a ton of metal, melted down and shaped onto the back of some poor angel for their next runway show in New York this December.

The thought makes Heidi’s wings at left look positively comfortable.

Bass Alert! We have yet to personally spy our fair Chuck in the ‘hood shooting this season. But thankfully Nylon offers up a scrumptious fix today in the form of a multi-image foreign ad campaign in their Korean edition, with Miss Waldorf of course. Man, we can’t wait for season 3 to start. {Nylon}

Carrie Bradshaw, The Sequel: SJP is back to shooting SATC, complete with a gold metal Chanel clutch. {Jezebel}

Renaissance Girl: Daisy Lowe talks W-burg, her jewelry line, why she likes to look like a china doll, and making toilets. {W}

Ugh. Just Ugh: You know how we feel about Megan Fox, so you can understand how this news makes us horribly distraught. Really, Mr. Armani? Really? {Fashionologie}

We were going to put this in mid-day snack, but I was so afraid you wouldn’t click and would miss out on watching Lorenzo speak for almost two minutes.

Marc’s dreamy fiancé (Maybe husband? We can’t keep track.) spent the day at Nylon’s studio last week directing a shoot for Brazilian shoe brand Melissa, the plastic cobbler who’s collaborated with Vivienne Westwood and Zaha Hadid in the past.

The fall shoes are cute and Lorenzo says they even smell delicious.

Shorts-Gate: The sheer number of stories about MObama wearing shorts is simply insane. We’re pretty sure that lots of people wear shorts in August in Arizona. Is there really a need for a national debate? {Time}

JC/DC: Jean-Charles de Castelbajac’s diffusion line is launching at LFW and he needs models. We’re thinking a Gaga sighting could be job perk. {Dazed Digital}

Quelle Horreur! You can’t seriously expect people to find a way to stir their own coffee, do you McKinsey? Don’t you know that this is Condé Nast? {Page Six}

Here She Is: Vogue’s smallest September issue in years checks in at 584 pages. Charlize Theron holds down the cover in one of the most unflattering pictures ever. {TFS}

Disposable Income: Of all the new things on Net-a-Porter, this $11,255 jumpsuit complete with a drop crotch and sequined bodice actually made us laugh out loud. They call it “the ultimate in status style.” {Net-a-Porter}

Now You Know: Did you ever wonder how Anna Della Russo, Trainas & Co. remained so damned perfect throughout hours of shows on opposite sides of pretty big cities? Well, now you know. {Sartorialist—Jak&Jil}

Really Though: Every day someone declares heels dead and flats in or platforms over and stilettos the rage, but really, don’t people just mix it up everyday? Is it so wrong to want both? {TimesUK}
