My weight fluctuates every few weeks (corresponding with lady magic time) so I have certain pairs of jeans that I won't go near on those specific days.

I love her! But I was sad to see her apartment walls were blank. Maybe she just moved in?

I like it... Her hair is amazing. I think for a 17 year old, this is a very cute outfit. I do agree with the poster who said if they saw this they would sooner think "cute," before they thought "grab the camera!"

I will definitely not be wearing a traditional dress if I decide to get married either.

I love this Alexander McQueen dress:

But I don't think I'll ever be able to find it so I might try to find something vintage.

I save a lot of bags. The paper whole foods ones hold my newspaper recycling. The ones I get on vacation are mementos of my precious far away finds (my favorites are from smaller boutiques in Paris and St. Barths). The Saks holiday bags (with the snowflakes) are pretty enough to be gift bags this time of year. The Marc Jacobs and Marc by Marc bags are super sturdy and have some resale value so I just keep them in case. And the newer saks bags featured in the article are just nice looking so I use them as totes when I go to relatives houses with wrapped presents.

I take advice from my derm and from makeupalley.com. I use a prescription face wash called Plexion to keep my complexion even and minimize blemishes. My moisturizer is called Cerave. I used to use cetaphil but my derm SWEARS by Cerave and I really love it. Less greasy than Cetaphil, in my opinion and just as cheap.

I agree with the guest who posted at 1:34pm. This is just mean spirited.

Explain to me how posting an email stating that there's nothing remotely fashionable about an aspiring model's photos, deeming them hilarious (according to the industry insider and you, guest 2:09), and then attaching the photos to the post so that all can mock them on a public blog NOT mean-spirited?

I hadn't heard rumors so I am sort of shocked. Congratulations on Nylon and good luck with the transition!

Will you still be doing Girls Gone Styled?

Color me jealous of people who live in areas with mj boutiques. I'm also jealous of those who live near the DSWs that got mbmj shoes in stock at 80% off the DSW price.

I did score the fall 07 mbmj cap toe mary jane flats and mid-height heels on a pretty significant discount (like 70-75% off). But 90% off seems unheard of!

I wear 80%20 slip on (vans style) shoes and chuck taylors all the time (to walk my dog) and get lots of compliments. I am 27 and not a skater or a boy.

To be fair, Keri Russell wore Nina Ricci to the Oscars last night.

Oh man, if you add up the money I've gotten back from ebates and luckymagrewards in the last year it seriously comes to the cost of my (admittedly cheap because I am in Pittsburgh) rent! It really adds up quickly if you shop online too much like I do.

I blogged about this a while ago too, because I was bummed that I had JUST bought that dress (albeit in a different, more forgiving "ochre" colorway of mustard and navy) and then along came the knockoff.

Also, I saw a photo of Leighton Meester in the dress (in the above colorway) on the set of GG so I bet it will be in season 2!

That question would make sense if it was in the context of her character's motivations and ability to get what she wants... Maybe that's where she was going?
