In Her Shoes: Holy crap. Constance Jablonski walked in a whopping 72 shows this season with Liu Wen right on her tail with 70. Well done, ladies. {Models.com via The Fashion Spot}
Congrats to the Klum/Samuels: Doesn’t it seem like Heidi Klum was pregnant forever this time around? Well she finally had that baby girl, and named her Lou. Awww. {Modelinia}
All About Arlenis: Who knew she liked Christian and merengue music? Not us. Also in the likes column: boxing, Rachel Roy jumpsuits, massages and that Oscar de la Renta dark blue dress. {W}
Agent No More: Vivienne Westwood’s son Joe Corré is leaving Agent Provacateur. Word is he’ll keep his shares, but will no longer be involved in the creative—instead focusing on his menswear line, A Child of the Jago. {Vogue UK}

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}

Nudie Ladies: Finally, outtakes from Terry Richardson’s Pirelli Calendar shoot. WARNING: There are lots and lots and lots of naked boobies. {VanityFairIT}
Hallelujah: Is there anything wrong with the fact that only one photographer and one model have been booked for the August issue of French Vogue? Not when Inez & Vinoodh are shooting Daria. {WWD}
Are You Ready: It’s that time of year, when the fashion blogosphere holds its breath in anticipation of Fall ads. So far, Marc Jacobs throws Natasa V out the window and Calvin Klein casts Jourdan Dunn. {TheFashionSpot & Fashionologie}
Mellow Yellow: Have you seen this yellow Margiela clutch Sea of Shoes Mom has? It’s amazing. Also, Sea of Shoes Daughter is designing shoes for Urban Outfitters, but we’re not supposed to know that. {SeaOfShoes}

After Vogue Italia’s Black Issue last summer, a lot of people wondered if the well-publicized move would actually do anything about the lack of black models in the fashion industry.
We think there were definitely some more black girls and guys on the runways last season (though obviously still not in the numbers some hoped to see), but here’s at least one concrete piece of evidence of the magazine’s pull:
Ubah Hassan, the regal Somalian model who made her big-time debut in that historic issue, is now in her second season as the face of Ralph Lauren, joining Russian Valentina Zelyaeva, one of the highest paid models on earth who’s been in too many Ralph ads to count.
Here’s to hoping we see more of Ubah next month.

Considering that it’s now July 2nd, most of us thought that the incredibly anticipated issue of Vogue Italia would already be on newsstands, at least in Europe.
But worry not - according to the Wall Street Journal, none of us are missing out since the magazine isn’t even available in Italy yet.
They say that the all-black models edition doesn’t actually come out in Italy until this Friday, and will finally be available in the States next week.
So maybe those 25 pages of “where is it?!” on The Fashion Spot can finally get some scans this week.
When we noticed that The Fashion Spot got a makeover a couple weeks ago, we sort of wondered what was going on.
The site went from an impossible-to-navigate forum to an actual site, complete with real articles and real bylines - they even have videos now.
But we had no idea what brought this on until today -
Apparently, TFS was bought by AtomicOnline, the media company that also owns SheKnows, TeenCrunch and CraveOnline.
The official launch was announced today, but they’ve been looking for new writers for a couple weeks.
Guess it won’t be so hard to search for stuff anymore.
