H&M Dresses Team Sweden, Rita Ora Is Mickey Mouse on Elle, and Is Kate Upton The Other Woman?

H&M dresses Sweden’s Olympic athletes, makes us want to be Swedish Olympic athletes. {WWD}

Beating President Barack Obama for TIME‘s list of most influential people of the past 10 years? Lady Gaga. We still aren’t convinced that isn’t a typo. {TIME}

Hey Rita, you’re so fine! Ms. Ora is just too darn cute dressed up as a certain cartoon rodentia on the cover of Elle‘s May 2013 “Women in Music” issue. {Elle}

Kate Upton’s apparently in talks to play opposite Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann in Fox’s upcoming revenge comedy The Other Woman. {Variety}

Ring Parties Are the New Arm Parties

by

The Most Influential Personal Style Bloggers Right Now

by

Some say the age of the personal style blogger is over.

Today, the girl needs more than an outfit, a boyfriend, and a camera. Bloggers need to think about production quality, editorial strategy, and affiliate programs to really gain a foothold on the web.

What We Saw at NYFW, Day 2
Fashion Is Fun

What We Saw at NYFW, Day 2

by

Sometimes the best things we see during fashion week happen far away from the runway.

Today we took in Day 2 of NYFW and snapped street style stars Taylor Tomasi Hill, Miroslava Duma, and Elena Perminova doing their thing–we even shot Bill Cunningham. We gawked at iconic models Iman and Carolyn Murphy, and swooned over the best beauty looks at Jason Wu, SUNO, and Rebecca Minkoff. Cuties Anna-Sophia Robb and Lauren Conrad popped up, too.
