kate moss at indochine 1995.jpgStill Going Strong: Indochine celebrated its new book earlier in the week after twenty-five years in business. Give us vintage Kate and Christy any day. {TheMoment}

Oh, Louie Louie: Lara may be fronting the actual spring/summer campaign for Louis Vuitton, but Daisy Lowe’s secured a spot in their “beach-wear lookbook,” whatever that means. She shoots in Miami this weekend. {Grazia}

Get Your Cavalli On: Isabeli Fontana just shot Roberto Cavalli’s spring/summer campaign with Carolyn Murphy. The first makes perfect sense, the second’s still confusing. {Fashionologie}

Catch This Wave:
After spending last week in Costa Rica, I still refuse to wear a coat in New York. Thankfully, Vogue’s avoiding reality with me. This week’s Most Wanted appeals to your inner surfer girl. {Vogue}

lara stone december09 vogue uk.jpgLovely Bones: Lara’s landed a Christmas Vogue. She looks awfully ladylike in pastel pink tulle on the cover of British Vogue. {Models}

Viva Versace: Guy Trebay sits down with Donatella for a rather sad story in today’s Times. They discuss her past, including Gianni, her friends’ intervention and her stint in rehab, as well as the possible future of Versace. {NY Times}

Well-Heeled: Lara Bohinc, the Brit behind a line of stellar knot jewelry, is launching shoes. She finds the process loads easier than designing bags and jewels. {VogueUK}

Holy Cuteness: I (Abby) need to be revived after overloading on adorable thanks to this street style blog for kiddos. One of the post titles is “Andre Leon Smalley” (dying!!!) and there is one wicked Tina Turner costume from Halloween. This is most definitely one of my new favorite things. {Planet Awesome Kid} via {Refinery29}

the last  magazine midday intern.jpgBe the Last Intern: Magnus Berger and Tenzin Wild’s The Last Magazine needs design and production interns. You need experience and three to five days free to work. {Starworks}

Break It Down: Peter Brant spends $500,000 a month on his polo ponies. He doesn’t understand why his soon to be ex, Stephanie Seymour, spends $50,000 a month on clothes when she could just fly to Paris and take them from Alaia’s studio. And that’s just the tip of their divorce iceberg. {Jezebel}

Sex on Fire Sells:
The Kings of Leon have partnered with Surface to Air to make clothes. The Tennessee kids whipped up some flannel, denim and a leather jacket of course that’ll only be available at Copenhagen’s Paris Texas. {Blackbook}

Birthdays & More: Gemma Ward shares her big day with Anna Wintour, though almost forty years later. She was out and about in New York looking almost unrecognizable. {BryanBoy}

www fall shoot.jpgAutumn Bottom: Whether fall makes you think of fashion or of crunchy leaves, both visions probably come in the same color palette. Hillary and Katherine take layering to the max in their fall fashion editorial. {WWW}

On the Job: Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, former director of special events for Vogue, just landed a new position. She’ll be the director of Fashion Week for Lincoln Center when it moves in September 2010, “consulting on internal and external coordination between Lincoln Center and the fashion industry.” But the question is, who can she steal back from MAC? {FWD}

Still Haunting: Alison Sarofim’s Halloween party brings out fashion’s best and brightest. This year’s theme was downtown New York circa 1980’s; Marc and Lorenzo were dutifully costumed while Valentino opted for a spot-on Valentino look. {VanityFair}

Joy to Your Feet: Loeffler Randall’s resort collection just landed on their website this morning. Jessie Randall found inspiration in the children’s book Little Blue and Little Yellow by Leo Lionni and you can also find the booties from Costello’s show. {LoefflerRandall}

kate moss topshop christmas.jpgGreen’s Growth: Everything you’ve ever wanted to know about Sir Phillip Greene, except of course the answer to the age old question, can he finally conquer America. So far so good, but even Kate Moss can only get Topshop so far. {Bloomberg}

Party Time: Heidi Klum and Seal threw their annual Halloween bash in LA this weekend. We spy crows, Gaga, a single lady and best of all Kelly Osbourne and Luke Worrall as bacon and eggs. {Modelinia}

Bazaar’s New Moon: Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are apparently on the next cover of Harper’s Bazaar. Vampire anything “At Every Age” seems rather hard to manage with them not aging and all. Pattinson’s also landed the December cover of Vanity Fair though he, unlike Shia and the others, isn’t christened the next _____.{WWD} & {VanityFair}

West Coast Style: The CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalists took their show on the road to Los Angeles, the Chateau Marmont to be exact. And there was a Lisa Love sighting which made us miss her days on The Hills. {Vogue}

bloodbrooches_edited-1.jpgBloody Good: Those are $800 blood brooches. Ick, but they fit perfectly with our Halloween spirit today. But really how does one even think to design something like that? {The Moment}

Get Online: As the print world crumbles, new magazines continue to launch on the interwebs. We love that Glossy is put together bi-monthly by a group of 16-25 years. Impressive. {Issuu}

Bags of Becks: Well not exactly, but rumors are flying that Victoria Beckham will be adding handbags to her line. We hope that doesn’t mean she’ll stop carrying that ginormous Birkin we love so much. {ElleUK}

Yikes: Economist-types keep saying the recession is over, but I’m pretty sure the 540 people about to lose their jobs at Time Inc would beg to differ. God, we hope this stops soon. {NY Post}

Prada Pop-Up: Architect Roberto Baciocchi has designed a seriously awesome temporary Prada store in Paris. Even if you can’t afford to splurge on the designer pieces, you should at least check out the architectural masterpiece. Talk about eye candy! {AR}

Dapper Diane: It’s pretty clear we love Diane Kruger and everything she wears. But whose style does she admire? {Vogue UK}

This Is It: Michael Jackson is probably the only man who can bring hip-hop royalty, fashion royalty, and actual royalty together in one room. Derek Blasberg talks about his royally cool night. And we get a wee bit jealous. {Blasblog}

Baby Face: Claudia Schiffer just doesn’t age. Vogue UK featured the supe in a retrospective. And it’s simply stunning. {Vogue UK}

Elle Boy: Joe Zee wants to make over your boyfriends for his column in the magazine. Maybe he can make them listen to what you’ve been saying for years. {Facebook}

The Ombre Effect: First, it was Katie Shillingford rocking a new ‘do on Jak & Jil. Now, this article from Refinery29. Is ombre the newest in hair trends? And where does one secure a colorist talented enough to pull it off well? {Refinery29}

obamafamilyportrait.jpgO-Style: For anyone who wants to truly follow Michelle Obama’s style choices there’s been one go-to site, Mrs-O.org. Now, blogger Mary Tomer’s got her own book on the First Lady that looks to be equally well-done. Also, we love the Alaia in this first official family portrait. {StyleFile}

Hands off our DvF: For shame, criminals of Madrid. Diane von Furstenberg was mugged this weekend in the Spanish city. Though we’re sure AmEx hooked her up with some new cards really quickly. {Jaunted}

Phew! Sesame Street is not, repeat not, collaborating with Amercian Apparel. Thank god, because we don’t want to imagine what Dov was dreaming up for the ad campaign. Shudder. {Stylelist}

karlandclaudiaargentina.jpgDon’t Cry For Her, Argentina: Claudia and Karl are tearing things up in Buenos Aires on the set of the Chanel Spring 2010 campaign shoot. Craft services is offering up “rich barbecue” though somehow we can’t see Karl chowing down on that. {Fashionologie}

Little Pink Houses: I’m from Indiana and we love all things Mellencamp. Especially supermodels who marry our favorite son and settle down in Bloomington. This video of Elaine Irwin Mellencamp just made me develop an even bigger girl crush. Also, it’s set to John’s music which always makes me smile. Hoosier Pride! {Modelinia}

Award Season: We didn’t even know there was a Harper’s Bazaar Cyprus. But there is and they just gave Jean-Charles de Castelbajac a Lifetime Achievement Award. {Fashion Insider}

Silver Screen Hamish: First he conquered the great outdoors and now Hollywood. Mr. Bowles has a cameo in Oliver Stone’s Wall Street 2. What’s next…The Great White Way? {Page Six}

cranginecklace.jpgShop Talk: If the credit card machine arrives in time, Philip Crangi’s first store just might open this weekend in the Meatpacking. Shopping for some new jewelry and lunching at Pastis sounds like a pretty perfect Saturday to us. {StyleFile}

Triangulations: When we first read about this Alex von Furstenberg/Ali Kay/Reggie Miller situation over the summer, we didn’t know quite what to think, other than random and huh? Now, it’s gotten even stranger. We can’t imagine DvF is pleased about this at all. {Page Six}

TV on TV: In reality television news, Teen Vogue might be making its way back to the small screen but in what capacity, we’re not sure. Ah, remember the good old Lisa Love days on The Hills? {Fashionologie via Jazzi McG}

Across the Pond: Much like soccer, Cheryl Cole has never really caught on here in the States. But boy do those Brits loooove her. Will she ever become a crossover hit? {Vogue UK}

novembercoverfrenchvogueisabeli.jpgExtreme 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}

Is Adidas the New Target: They’ve had Jeremy Scott and Stella McCartney, but now they’re onto British brand PPQ. Here’s your first look at their stripe-y, Catwoman-y collection. {Nylon}

Rita Hayworth Gave Good Face: Lindsay Lohan does not. God love (or hate) the Daily Mail for pointing out what we also witnessed last night, some seriously weird expressions that did nothing but age the girl in a major way. {Daily Mail}

Word Up: A collection of fantastic quotes from Tom Ford, including his senate ambitions, his tailored Fruit of the Loom and the difference between a Gucci and a YSL woman. {Guardian}

Oh Boy: Penn Badgley tells Cosmo that he likes his women to dress “simply”. You know, like in “plunging v-necks” and “thigh high boots”. Sweater dresses are good, too. This editorial, however, is creepy. {Cosmopolitan}

Designer Facebook: Gucci’s launched their own social networking site, Eyeweb, to promote their new sunglasses; Frida Giannini even makes a cameo in one slideshow. There are only two models for now, but more to come, and more colors, for spring. {Grazia}

Bananas for Anna: We’ve had a crush on Anna Friel since Pushing Daisies, now she’s playing Eliza Doolittle in London’s West End. Here, some of her best looks. {ElleUK}

liu wen vogue china.jpgSo Liu Me: Alexi Lubomirski shot Liu Wen for this month’s Vogue China. If anyone can skip pants in lieu of a striped leotard and camel coat, it’s Liu. {Models}

Big Apple, Big Move: Henry Holland told Grazia he’d consider moving here after coming to town to launch Six Scents Series Two. That very night we talked about swapping apartments for a month, had I known he was this serious, I’d have packed my bags already. {Grazia}

One More Time: We’ve already talked about the top girls this season - who walked the most and the best - but this is the prettiest mash-up we’ve seen yet. And you know how we feel about pretty. {COACD}

Grand Sam: Samantha Morton’s landed the cover of T’s winter issue which is full of ‘nutty’ Brits including Alice Dellal, Stephen Bayley and Vivienne Westwood. We barely recognize her behind the fake lashes and hat - it’s a long way from The Libertine. {TheMoment}

isabel and friend midday.jpgphoto courtesy The SartorialistA Friend In Need: Which is better? Adrien Grenier on the Sartorialist? Or Adrien Grenier labeled ‘Friend’? Either way, the combination of that face and Scott’s camera is fantastic. {Sartorialist}

Teenage Wasteland: We would have paid so very much money to witness one Madonna’s early (as in childhood) performances of “Baba O’Riley”, complete with midriff top and body paint—so very SS10. {RollingStone}

Wannabe: So it’s not exactly hard-core fashion news, but we like to include all things that sort of involve a Beckham, which this does. There may be a Spice Girls musical in the works. To which we say, hell yes. And zigazig ha. {JustJared}

Chicest in All the Land: We definitely can’t argue with Inès de la Fressange being named the most chic woman in France. Oh, to live in a country where Carla Bruni-Sarkozy is at number five. Sigh. {Telegraph}

2009 cfda vogue fashion fund finalists.jpgRight On: Tabitha Simmons styled a great mini-shoot with the 2009 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalists. There are actors (Sebastian Stan), there are models (Lily Donaldson), there are designers (Patrick Ervell) and there are really great clothes. {Vogue}

Best Dressed: Nora & Delia Ephron talk about their new Broadway play, Love, Loss, and What I Wore, which they adapted from Ilene Beckerman’s book. They reflect on Saks, I. Magnin, Audrey Hepburn and the magic of the perfect outfit. {Glamour}

Sex Sells: We’d kind of forgotten about the Sex and the City sequel, but now Penelope Cruz is in it and we’re suddenly really interested. Whoever dressed in her in that head-to-toe Rick Owens look the other night could give Pat a run for her money. {Grazia}

WTF: Pamela Anderson apparently used a random nine-year-old girl to hold up her train all night at an awards show. Um, and referred to her as her “daughter” and made her sit at her feet? Well, that’s the weirdest part of the day so far. Other than the fact that I was on the Fox News site. {FoxNews}

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}

A Belated Happy Birthday: Mr. Mickey got serenaded by a pretty chic group for his bday this weekend…um, Madonna anyone? And Penelope Cruz, and Beth Ditto, and Pedro Almodovar. Well played, friend! {FWD}

Joanie Got Married: Okay, so this isn’t exactly fashion-related (though the dress looks amazing), but our favorite Mad Men redhead, Christina Hendricks got married and we love her so much we had to post something. Let’s hope her new husband is more of a stand-up guy than that wuss that her alter-ego married. {Just Jared}

Beauty Mark the Calendar: Crazy talented makeup artist Dick Page is coming to town, the Shiseido counter at Bloomies to be exact, on October 21st. We highly suggest making an appearance. {Beauty Counter}
