they have the cash, and now they have an excuse to NOT spend it (it's now considered 'insensitive' and tacky to throw extravagant events, given the economic situations).

yeah a settlement from an accident. and the first place she moved to was the cote d'azur, where she was promptly discovered while in a bikini on a beach. thank you lonely saturday night + true hollywood story circa fashionfix 2006!

i'm a tall skinny african-american (ok, more like jamaican-canadienne)!

not to date myself, but one time in jr. high i wore hip-huggers to school and a girl from the popular black-girl clique at my school whispered loudly (in true passive agressive jamaican and/or canadian fashion) "i believe you need HIPS to wear hip huggers..."

needless to say, i donated those pants to goodwill.

it really sucks growing up the skinny black girl until you start university when there's finally a diverse enough group of guys to appreciate "a model's body".

now i plan on staying 110 pounds 5'8'' forever. :)

vogue has become boring. while there have been some amazing and relevant features (michelle obama, etc.) i'm so OVER the whole socialite fixation.

who cares?!

enough with tinsley, samantha boardman and that lauren chick who married that south american billionaire. it's sad enough that i even know who these people are and i put the blame squarely on american vogue. it's insulting to think that this is what us readers care about. please stop. unless one of these socialites wins a nobel or pulitzer or something.

oh, and another thing. please stop putting the same people/actresses on the cover over and over again. keira knightly needs to be ban from vogue entirely.

i'm glad i fluent in french, so i can read Paris Vogue.

/end rant.

dear fashionista-

i think you are owed some of the credit for pushing arlenis to superstardom by acting as her unofficial publicisit.

was it not you who posted many obsessive entries about the mystery Banana Republic runway model?

my hats off to you!

#77 - definately the first bag that's made out of nylon or whatever.

wow i didn't know that bag was longchamp! when i was in france 5 years ago (yikes) they were EVERYWHERE. and I mean EVERYWHERE. imitations, too! i thought it was a passing trend, i didn't know it was a staple. haha. now i'm motivated to get one (yes, i pathetically copy french fashion).

now for my list (note that i'm from toronto):

i think coach bags i think middle-class/blue-collar (unless you're in you're a suburban teen- you're allowed to get away with some cluelessness) housewives. i come from a blue-collar suburb and man, my suburban stay at home mom friends go crazy for coach. gah, i sound snobby, but if people who buy coach stuff perceive the label the way they perceive, say, a guess? purse, then i wouldn't have issue with it. but they think they're buying high end.

a lot of my friends love coach, and i don't hate the designs, i just think it's trying to hard to appear lux.

i think bone straight long hair, lululemons (which are on their way out, btw)tucked into UGG boots...i think high school children of the wealthy forest hill/leaside/yonge and lawrence residents. bonus points if the girls grab a fistfull of their hair and stroke it right to the end, then flipping it ever so absent-mindedly to one side of their shoulder.

don't even get me started on tired hipsters.

those new era baseball hats with the gold sticker on them (bonus points for matching kicks. esp bathing ape or limited edition anything) - i think bourgeois thug.

that's all i can thing of for now!

116 - lol. what's coming back in style is that'80s gear, leggings and also those baggy grey sweatpants from roots.

lululemon had massive sales recently, that says a lot. their stuff is so...lame and dated.

i'm sorry that you spend $100 for the groove yoga pants and $80 for the whisper top.

no, i'm not really sorry.

absolutely recession. the people (especially the rich!) that have been spending freely on ridiculous things are now receiving the mounting bills and are realizing that they are screwed.

i was in elementary school when the movie Reality Bites came out, and i never understood why those Gen Xers were so cranky...and simply dressed. Until now.

The age of excess is over (for this generation)! YES!!!

absolutely not.

an (ex) girl friend wore white to my best friend's wedding. the wedding my bff planned for over 2 years because and meant a lot to her due to her own personal reasons. in know way did ex friend steal bff's 'thunder' but it was downright inconsiderate.
