REASON TO VENTURE OUT INTO THE RAIN #1: Givenchy’s Riccardo Tisci will be making on appearance on the 4th floor of Barneys at 4:30 pm today. Get the Wellies on, head uptown and as always, email us your reports.

Riccardo Redux: Come October you’ll be able to buy pieces from Tisci’s new Redux capsule collection. And yes, there will be many white blouses. {Vogue UK}

Non, Non: Seems yesterday’s Keith Kelly musings about Hearst taking over a piece of Elle are just that. {Observer}

Matte-ify It: We’re partial to the matte shades from KO. The beauty department at Nylon tries on some other options too. {NYLON TV}

Baby Brady: Yesterday London Fog announced that they airbrushed Gisele’s pregnant belly to “respect her privacy” which, you know, didn’t. Now People’s got the shot that can put all the speculation to rest. via {The Cut}

“Remember when I said Joe Biden was ushering in Middle East chic? Well, I think Riccardo Tisci was listening. Glitter, burkhas and ball gowns” -Derek Blasberg tweeting from the Givenchy couture show. Stripped down at Dior, covered up at Givenchy? Interesting.

We have trouble with bracelets.

The perfect one is hard to come by. It can’t be too big or too heavy, or else you have to take it off all the time. It can’t be on everyone else’s wrist, because that’s just boring. And it has to work perfectly from day to night, because that’s just the way of our wardrobe.

Luckily, this set of bangles by Jennifer Rose meets our rigid bracelet criteria. They come in both yellow and rose gold, either of which will work perfectly with Spring’s neutrals - they’d compliment Givenchy’s nudie frocks quite nicely.

If only they came in silver for the days we’re feeling more Alexander Wang than Tisci.

Oh, and did we mention they’re on sale?
