If you follow model Chrissy Teigen on Twitter or Instagram, you know she’s hilarious, unfiltered, sassy, and sometimes controversial (just last night she got into a row with followers about “slut shaming”). I can tell you that she’s exactly the same in person.
The Tribeca Film Festival is well underway and while Hollywood execs are tuning in to see the movies, we’re focused on the red carpet.
New York is unreasonably cold right now. Like impending-blizzard-freeze-your-Rag & Bone-covered-butt-off cold. This is exactly why we, and fashionistas nowhere near New York, are praising the fashion gods (more like IMG & various PR people) for the glorious amount of New York fashion week shows livestreaming this week. We wrangled 89 shows (89!) and presentations to tune into over the course of the next week…with even more coming in! The best part? You won’t be judged for taking in these shows in your pjs over some popcorn or pizza or half a bottle of wine…
See any shows we missed? Let us know!
Like many other people (maybe?) I am constantly on the hunt for perfect black booties. And I have, uh, a few pairs in my closet already. But when I saw these Vera Wang Marilyn booties in an editorial somewhere, I immediately wanted them.
Did The September Issue leave you wanting more? Us too, people, us too.
Luckily, that new Vogue doc we’ve been hearing about finally has a release date.
Every month, Harper’s Bazaar gives us a peek inside the day-to-day life of a big designer and for November, they’ve given us fashion mogul Vera Wang.
One thing we’ve learned from this feature, in which designers recount an average day, from waking up, to going to sleep, is that fashion designers have some pretty…eccentric daily habits. Peter Dundas takes a jet to work every day, Karl Lagerfeld has two houses and Vera Wang has an entire pantry containing only orange food, practically lives in her van and once almost got shot by Hillary Clinton’s bodyguards.

Brad Pitt plays with a gun near his head, wears a pirate’s eye patch, and rocks some dirty dreads for his Interview interview with Guy Richie. {Interview}
Could another little Beckham be on the way?! We really hope so, David and Victoria sure do know how to make beautiful babies. {Telegraph}
It’s official: The series finale of Gossip Girl is a mere eleven episodes away. While many a cynic may argue that the show actually ended sometime during the second season, for us die-hard Upper East Side wannabes, this news is harder hitting than a Nairtini to the head.
Of course, what we’ll miss most of all is the fashion. Gossip Girl has been on top of the fashion game since its first “XOXO” way back in early 2007, and as the series progressed, the characters’ signature styles arguably surpassed the plot development in terms of critical praise.
Between Blair’s preppy headbands, Chuck’s dandy suits, and Serena’s gravity-defying cleavage, the influence the kids of Constance have had on street style and fashion spreads alike is undeniable. So, as a tearful ode to our favorite CW soap, here’s a look back at some of the style stand-outs that have made the last five years of impossible-to-follow plot lines a little more bearable.
As a seasoned livestreamer, running home from school everyday (and sometimes during lunch period) to catch a show made me feel like I was sitting front row, but without the annoying crowds.

The Beckhams Don’t Have a Damien Hirst Baby Monitor: Victoria Beckham has fired back at the UK tabs, denying reports that little Harper Seven received a £10,000 baby monitor as a gift from artist Damien Hirst. How useful could a baby monitor submerged in formaldehyde really be, anyway? {Daily Mail}
Hilary Rhoda’s Legs are Looong: Is this real? Model Hilary Rhoda’s legs look absolutely ridic in this shoot for French glossy Le Figaro. Or as Christian in Clueless would say… “Nice stems.” {Le Figaro via Fashin}
Jean Paul Gaultier on Cannes Jury? With rumors floating around that JPG will join the jury at this year’s Cannes Film Fest, it sounds like fashion may feature heavily behind the scenes as well as on the red carpet. If only, for close friend (and dissed W.E. creator) Madonna’s sake, this had happened last year… {WWD}
Considering last season’s front row boasted big-names like Beyonce, Solange and Kim Kardashian, we were expecting some similarly mega star power at Vera Wang’s Fall 2012 showing. Sadly neither Kim nor Beyonce could make it this season and though Viola Davis, Leighton Meester and Maria Sharapova certainly looked pretty sitting front row, we can’t say we were quite as excited.
But if the audience was a little lackluster, the clothes certainly made up for it. The first five looks set the tone for the pretty and wearable collection with head-to-toe camel, buttery leather jackets lined with shearling, and the whispiest chiffon we’ve seen yet. Next came a quartet of striking orange looks (so, guess that orange trend isn’t going anywhere soon), and then the rest of the show stuck to a moody black and grey palette.
