Yesterday, a friend asked, “How do I tell a co-worker to step it up, style wise?” First thought? You don’t. Next thought? If it’s affecting her job, you say something – nicely. In some jobs, in fact in most jobs (at least in New York, the only city I’ve worked in as an adult), what Read more →
This morning, Tommy Ton tweeted, “Is it me or does the jimmy choo 24:7 campaign look a lot like…ahem…you know what i mean :S.” Yes, it does look just like the images Tommy shoots for his blog, Jak & Jil, and as of last season, Style.com. They’re simple, vibrant snaps of women’s shoes – spectacular Read more →
Vogue’s Life With André brings up loads of questions, but this weekend a reader was so curious he emailed, Dear Fashionista. So I was reading Life With André in the new Vogue, and he talks about the new Halston documentary, which is tr√®s exciting, but in the column he mentions that Halston acted as his Read more →
This morning, I was forwarded six pages worth of dress code requirements for Pi Phi’s Cornell chapter.
Because it’s Friday, and they’re outrageous, I’m sharing.
What does one wear to rush? If we had a sorority our rule would be there are no rules – we’d welcome vintage flannel and Dior couture heels in equal measure, but Pi Phi’s rush chair’s a bit more specific. Her strictest rules, below. (UPDATE: We’ve attached the whole thing at the end, by popular demand.)
On Clothes
– Denim leggings are appropriate as long as it’s done right: aka, not from American Apparel and worn with chic, cool, chunky boots over them and a longer top.
– No satin dresses. No one looks good in satin dresses unless it’s from Betsey Johnson or Dolce & Gabbana, you weigh less than 130 pounds, have three pairs of Spanx on and it’s New Years Eve.
– No Frumpy.
My computer’s had a hard time adjusting to life in the States after being in the Middle East for three weeks. Abc.com alerts me to their US-only policy and my Google Docs Fashion Week calendar still wants to display in Arabic, but it’s Net-A-Porter‘s UK orientation that I’m struggling to make right. Their sale section Read more →
Over the weekend, Natalie Portman attended the 9th Annual New York Times Arts and Leisure Weekend at the Times Center here in New York. Like always, she looked lovely in a canary yellow version of the much sought after tulle Rodarte for Target dress. But of all the dresses in all the land, why did Read more →
In this video, The Guardian‘s Jess Carter Morley suggests that the problem with biker jackets is the leather. She advocates the “non-biker biker,” and says, “If you take the leather out of the equation, the biker jacket becomes a lot more wearable.” Denim options from Goldsign and Gap hang on the rack, as well as Read more →
Louis Vuitton’s Fall 09 bunny ears were delightful. Katie Grand topped off almost half the outfits with some variation of peaked ears, whether bow-like or bunny-like, for at least a week post-show (or until my feet landed firmly in New York) I was convinced that yes, I would wear bunny ears. Though the charm didn’t Read more →
photo courtesy WWD At left is this morning’s cover of WWD. In our sleepy haze we thought, “Wow, um, Rodarte’s really taking things in a different direction for pre-fall.” In an ideal world, this is what Rodarte for Target would look like. It’s a simple shift shape bursting with texture, a cage-like shoulder, tulle peeking Read more →
There’s really nothing to say about this except that a) it’s a sex commercial and b) we think it’s funny the EIC or someone (we can’t remember where we read it yesterday) said it’s the first time Muse has used a celebrity, and probably the last. Also, obviously c) it’s NSFW.
We thought our love for Kate Moss knew no bounds, but wearing her face on our body might cross a line. Teamo’s launched a few shirts on Bona Drag, and we love the idea of a sketch on a tee – a graphic tee that’s not so graphic – but how obsessed is too obssessed? Read more →
