Hi!

I have a totally random question - does anyone know who makes the bikini Kate Bosworth's rocking on the beach at left.

The picture's in this month's Teen Vogue, but I'm pretty sure it's just a paparazzi shot which means no credits, no listing the brand. I've searched high and low, both in stores and online, and I can't figure it out for the life of me.

I've been trying to find the perfect bikini for what feels like forever - any ideas? Or if you don't know who makes this specific one, anything similar?

Thanks!

I'm doing a research paper on the history of publishing.

Specifically, I want to delve into the world of magazine publishing, if possible even as narrow as fashion magazines, but I'm having trouble finding enough information.

Is it a weird topic?

Does anyone know of any websites or books specifically dedicated to the subject or what might be the best way for me to go about my research?

Thanks so much for your help!

I'm graduating at the end of May with a B.A. in Apparel Design and as we all know, the job market is a scary, scary place.

I get daily StyleCareers e-mails, check WWD obsessively and have been devoting every extra minute to sending out resumes and pestering every single contact I have - all to no avail.

I've reached a point where I just don't know what else to do or where else to look and I know there are tons and tons of people in the exact same position, but I thought it'd be worth asking advice.

Is there some secret I don't know or something more I should be doing?

Seriously, anything would be appreciated. Thank you!

So I'm trying to promote this new concept I'm calling "intelligent consumerism."

Conspicuos consumption's pretty much dead so we need to find a new way to consume and while frugality's working well for some, I just can't do it.

I don't necessarily want cheap stuff or bargain finds but I do want things that are well worth their cost. It's ridiculous to ask people to stop shopping but I'm curious about the new ways in which people are shopping.

Let me know your thoughts on it and soon I'll be putting all of my ideas into my own blog.

Thanks!

I'll make a confession: I get more than a little style inspiration from Blair Waldorf.

I really, really love her and would dress like her all day every day if I could. But I live in the real world so I'm content to settle for an extra accessory here and there.

But I'm having trouble finding headbands as awesome and creative as the ones on Gossip Girl. I don't want to spend a ton of money because I want to buy a lot to have on constant rotation.

Any suggestions?

I'm obsessed with the short kimono-like jacket Zooey Deschanel wears in the movie Gigantic.

You can see it at left.

But I'm totally open to getting a vintage version as long as it's similar - and short.

Any ideas on where one can find somehting like this? I know Chinatown seems like the obvious choice but there isn't anything like that in my town and I'd hate to buy it online because I need to know how it fits.

Thanks!

Hello there!

I'm kind of new here and you guys seem like you could help.

What on earth does one wear to a christening? And where do I find whatever that thing is?

It's a few weeks from now so it should be warm. I want to get something pretty simple so that I can keep wearing it throughout the summer and definitely a neutral color.

Any advice would be great - thanks!

Hello everyone!

I'm fairly new to Fashionista, so I don't know if this has been asked before and I'm super sorry if it has.

Anyway, I'm heading to London at the end of May and I need some shopping suggestions. I know about Topshop, Harrod's etc but I want to know about lesser known stores. Like the best vintage spots and where to buy cool unique jewelry or up and coming designers that haven't hit Chanel prices.

Also, I know that wearing jeans in Italy pretty much pegs you as a tourist, but what about London? Are jeans cool?

Thanks!
