Kelly Rutherford- it's her son. And yes, she totally spells it with the accent above the "e".

with the 40's leg, the halter, and the bare back, this is sexy.
and hey, if Gossip Girl can influence some teenagers to put down the slutty clothes and cover up with a bit of class, bonus! :)

re: dumbbrunette5- good point. You can't snag a size M bottom with 36C top in a maillot, so it'd better fit perfectly off the rack.

There was a discussion about this on Jezebel yesterday (http://jezebel.com/341605/huge-bags-hot-chiropractor-bills-not)
to which I essentially agreed with Britt: if you're leaving the house at 8 am and returning sometime after 9 pm, a big bag is a (bulky) necessity. Current (giant) purse contents: 1L water bottle, 2 tupperware, ipod, phone, notebook, moleskine, checkbook, wallet, sunglasses in largeish case, sweater, flats, comb, lipbalm, lip gloss, nail file, mirror, purse-hangy-thingy, pens, flash drive, mail.

3:51 guest-
yes, that's all fine if "leaving the house" means "coming back in under three hours". But what about when you leave the house and are actually gone for 12+ hours, and I dunno, might need to read something from home/ pay bills/ eat something that's not overpriced takeout/ layer and de-layer at work, depending on the AC setting?

a friend sometimes pulled out the fake glasses, and although she looked fairly good and totally admitted their faux-ness, I kept thinking "argh, what a tool". This may be because I have actual, useful glasses that I wear when I need to see things.

would I? Nope, MAC's black-gold "buried treasure" eyeliner is as sparkly as I get, nowadays.

Should you? Sure! It's not like you're going to work at some ultra-conservative job that will crucify you for having fun makeup on.

just a note: that purple script on grey background is incredibly hard to read.

would I? HELL YES. My dream is to someday have a ladytux made, as well as to rock a Jil Sander suit.

And I agree with most of the above commenters: it's only "tragic and ugly" if it doesn't fit, or is cheap fabric, which really goes for most clothing. Suits do not have to = corporate: just see The Sartorialist's shots for proof!

of course they didn't invent the term, but using the font + that word is a straight-up steal.

... or maybe, she woke up late and just put on a bunch of neutral basics. Really, "funereal"?

I can't believe that someone would STILL assume that my largely-black wardrobe is a "shield", or my way of projecting despair onto the world. I happen to look very good in black, and it's a lifesaver for getting out the door quickly when you don't need to worry about Pattern A clashing with Color B , which doesn't complement your Color C jacket. Sheesh.

please tell me that the above photo is an awkwardly-styled minidress, NOT a halter romper. Please?

due to the writer's strike, not cancellation. Thank god. I love the trash-tastic GG, although my love is limited to watching back episodes online at this point. sigh.

Ed Westwick = divine, and it's rather amusing how HARD Chace Crawford is trying to look "bad-boy" in this shot. Stubble = edgy?

no, G&tC, it's not due to cancellation- WRITER'S STRIKE. No more new episodes, because they could only film so many before the strike took hold.

5:23 guest- well, since the Nordstrom salesgirl TOLD YOU to try them out at home and take them back if they weren't perfect, I think you're well within your bounds to do so. Nordstrom is known for having an above & beyond customer service/ return policy across their company.

As far as "renting"- god, no, never. If I don't love it enough to buy it, I don't love it enough to wear it.

Though I'll definitely take inspiration from friends' outfits (and those friends I only know online- what are fashion blogs for if not for inspiration?), I'll always double-check before buying anything I think a close friend already owns. I've been the girl huddled in the corner of the store with my phone, describing the necklace I holding to a friend to determine if it's the same one she owns, and therefore off-limits. I've been known to make dressing-room calls to especially stylish friends to make sure that the dress I'm falling in love with isn't something that already exists in their closet- and if it does, can I borrow it?

The Lovely Teaspoon was a vendor for the Contemporary Arts Center's holiday bazaar this year, and her stuff was a total hit. Plus, she's sweet as pie!
