Annemarie Borlind makes the best lipstick ever. You can buy directly from the company's website, but it's too expensive outside of Germany. I just stock up when I'm abroad.
People here in Berkeley are really into the vegan beauty products.

Looks a little like mercerized cotton, which is great on jackets, and not so great on pants.
Either way, she would look so much better if she laid off the sunbathing.

I don't know what's cooler... that your brother is a Buddhist monk, or that he's a Buddhist monk in Germany.

The people that I know who wear them are all short.
They'd be useful on my side of the height spectrum, though, since the overwhelming majority of mass-market "short" dresses barely cover my ass.

I just finished the new translation of Roberto Saviano's Gomorrah. The "moral superiority" of buying clothes made in Italy, where it is assumed that the labor laws will debar worker exploitation, is a fallacy.
The ethical construct on which I had based my clothing purchases has crumbled.

Effervescence fits her.
I'm so glad that she doesn't sound like that "blog" she kept! This was quite charming.
"Excellent", however, is not the word I would use to describe her accent. "Suitably cute" might be a better fit.

I became totally obsessed with AusNTM Alice's season. She is BRILLIANT.

Anonymoose-
I did (and still do) the same thing with robin's egg blue. And Hermès orange. And rossa corso. And aubergine.
Also: I rock brown with black like there's no tomorrow.

I bought a push-up bra in middle school, wore it for about a week, and then jettisoned it.
Since then, I haven't even been able to stand so much as molded cups. A bra that fits properly will give you cleavage, regardless; the effect some push-ups have borders on the grotesque.
I don't believe in false advertising.

Are you kidding?
I loathe backpacks to the point where I'm trying to find a way to travel for a month in Azerbaijan without one.
I am reminded of John Favreau's great spiel in Swingers: "I spend half the night talking to some girl who's looking around the room to see if there's somebody else who's more important she should be talking to. And it's like I'm supposed to be all happy 'cause she's wearing a backpack, you know?"

Wow! Look at those pins.
I love it when models actually have leg muscles to speak of.

In the second paragraph, "'application'" and "ads" ought to be switched.
(Sorry; the editor within me will not be quiet.)

If there are details on the vehicle, please do tell. "80's black Rolls Royce" doesn't cut it for us gearheads.

Couldn't care less. But I'm loving the boob shot.

Florals:Spring::Skinny:Hedi? Maybe I'm just dating myself as part of the generation that had analogies on the SAT.
Regardless, my pocketbook is glad that I don't wear jeans; this collaboration would, otherwise, empty is quite quickly.

As a sailor, it irks me to see people who don't sail wearing boat shoes.
Hipster = poseur = get a haircut, get a job, get a life.

For me, the question would be, "What would I do to get rid of them?"
And the answer would be, "Anything."

guest at 3:27PM:
I think that's the point. She looks like a wreck. It's the downward spiral of the wayward starlet.
When editorials try to have some sort of greater meaning, they usually fall flat on their faces; this one doesn't fall quite so sharply. They have Ms. Stone to thank for that. A lesser model would have made this disastrous.

Hey, she chose to pose that way.
