Nickelson Wooster Named the Creative Director of Men’s Clothing at JCPenney

by

Fuck yeah, Nick Wooster has a (surprising) new gig!

Fans of the mustachioed and tattooed style icon will recall that he was ousted as the men’s fashion director at Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus about a year ago. While Neiman never issued a statement about why he was let go, it happened right after Wooster gave this quote to GQ about his position there:

“I am just an old f—ing midget queen who, you know, had the good fortune to get this job and it’s like, ‘How did that happen?’”

Two days later he was history.

Jessica Simpson Scores Deal To Lose Her Baby Weight Before She Even Has a Baby: Weight Watchers is paying Jessica Simpson a cool $3 million to lose her baby weight using their weight loss plan. We thought breast-feeding was enough to make you lose it all. No? {Jezebel}

The Free Tote Bag Is the New “It” Bag: We knew it was a good idea to keep all those free totes we’ve accumulated over the years. Use them proudly, because free is apparently the new $2000. (It’s annoying that they don’t have any compartments and pockets, though.) {NYT}

Jimmy Choo Makes Coffee Holders: Need a last minute stocking stuffer for that fancy coffee drinker in your life? They can cover up their Dunkin Donuts cup with this leather Jimmy Choo coffee cup sleeve, which is a mere $125. Just don’t slosh or drip on it, for heaven’s sake. Do you know what Splenda can do to leather? {Pursuitist}

You Can Pre-Order the Whole Soon-To-Be-Available Tom Ford Beauty Collection! (Check It Out Here)

by

The Tom Ford beauty collection launch is almost upon us. While we’ve been hearing that it will be available at the end of October (and we got to see a teaser peek at Fashion’s Night Out at the Tom Ford store), we just found out that the collection will launch at Bergdorf Goodman on November 1 (and you can pre-order now); it’s also available for pre-sale at Neiman Marcus. So you can drool over the whole glorious collection for the next few weeks.

There’s a skin care range, brushes, nail lacquer, eye shadow quads, Ford’s stunning lipsticks (whose success encouraged the launch of this full beauty range) and everything in between. If you were hoping for some really sexy color names, you might be a bit disappointed. The raciest it gets is “Love Bruise” and “Ravish.
