That annoys me. Some people are 35 and still look 12... age really is just a number sometimes. What a silly policy.

Sooooooo beautiful... just incredible.
Tell me, though, does that woman in the picture that is 4th from the bottom have a LULULEMON BAG with her?! I mean, really... please don't go validating every dumb young girl who thinks they're fashionable. It's a gym bag, people.

Guys, I love your backstage coverage. This is what style.com is missing.

That's funny, she's always reminded me of Edie Sedgwick too. So I'm not the only one.

I am the lowest of the low. My apartment building WAS on fire and the first thing I went for was concealer and a toque. (That's a Canadian word, I think you guys call it a beanie or something?) Anyway, horrible. I'm horrible. I had the flu of death a couple months ago and on my 30 second march to the grocery store to get more drugs and gingerale, I still wore makeup. You're not alone! I don't think it's vanity so much as a refusal to look like ass. I want to be one of those little old ladies who, at like 115, is in her hospital bed with red lips and hair totally done.
Even camping, man. I used to get caught as a kid -- while my family was "roughing it" and making breakfast over a fire, I had snuck into the car to put on makeup in the visor mirror. No one ever said camping had to equal ugly.

I bought a $100 James Perse once and returned it after one wear because it got a hole in it within about, oh, 10 seconds. "Nice" cotton, maybe, but paper thin too. Which reminds me -- aren't Alexander Wang tees designed to get holes starting on the first wash? Like, intentionally? It doesn't bother me so much now but still, after you drop such a huge sum on something which, really, American Apparel still does pretty well, it kind of makes you annoyed to watch it fall apart in front of your eyes.
That said, I get the draw. If I could have a Lisa-Simpson-esque wardrobe with five million of the same thing in it, I'd probably fill it up with James Perse and Alexander Wang.

Can I just say one more thing? It's slightly bitchy but I think it needs to be said... I know some girls who are adamant about hardly ever wearing makeup and proud of the fact. But their skin looks dreadful and they walk around looking tired and sallow with all kinds of pores and acne. A quick swipe of foundation and powder (I'm not advocating a full face with eyeliner and the works!) would do wonders. They'll drop a gazillion dollars on their bags and shoes and they let their face look... less than stellar.
Cue the retaliation.

Good for Ali for refusing to starve herself, if what her mother said is true. The worst part about the whole thing is that most of these girls will NEVER be anything but skinny, but they encouraged to get to a point where they are so thin that they're really no longer beautiful. I understand why rail thin models are used on the runway, and I am not about to go advocating a parade of size 12s marching down. But the fact of the matter remains that some of them clearly lose so much weight between seasons that they just aren't pretty anymore. It's stupid.

I'd rather not have a print on mine. That said, there is some merit to what some posters have said about taking things a little too seriously. I hate Uggs but I'm sorry, when there is 3 inches of salt on the ground and snow and mud and ice everywhere, you damn well bet I'm not walking around letting the bottoms of my expensive jeans get ruined or destroying some pretentious I-don't-wear-Uggs pair of designer boots. I dropped $400 on a pair of boots two winters ago to avoid the Ugg thing and... surpise surprise... they fell apart before Springtime. So honestly some people need to lighten up. If you live in California then you can afford to be picky, but when the weather sucks people need to get over themselves. And stop ripping on other girls for it too.
NB. Crocs are always ugly.

Shame, I just don't like it. I was so excited about this after seeing her on the cover of Blackbook, but it totally doesn't have any of that vibe at all. Someone should tell her PR people not to get my hopes up like that. Boo, sadness:

Ha, the appliqued initials would be amazing. Unless your initials are 'YSL,' in which case... uh, lame-o!

I'm usually flattered, unless we are talking about the one friend I have who buys EVERYTHING I own immediately after I do, in identical colours and everything. It drives me mad. If I shell out big on a new bag she goes and buys it. GAAAA! And if we're passing a store window and I say, "Oh, that's cute," she'll go back the next day and buy it for herself. Get a mind of your own, woman!!! I have to throw her off the scent down by not telling her where I get things (online, eBay, out of town only).
Otherwise, whatever. You can hardly 'claim' everything a certain designer makes. But there are shades of grey.

I always lose mine too. That's why I've given up and I instead opt for the 'newspaper over your head' variety. Cheap, disposable, and makes you feel like you're in an old movie.

Please can we talk about how much fun the moustache thing sounds.
Albeit not such a great way to run into an ex or anything.

For some reason I hate perfumes that a lot of other people wear, so the second mass advertising starts I'm usually a lot less interested. I just find it weird when I walk down the street and smell someone in the same perfume!
That said, I always try mine first. It takes me forever to pick a new one because I will go on various days and check out a million of them and then spray it on myself to see how it wears.
OTT, maybe? But still... it's nice to think that a certain scent might one day remind someone of you specifically and not just 'girls at nightclubs.' ;)
