My First Fake Louis, In One Act

[Britt and Natalie sit in the backseat of a cab, on their way to the Doo.Ri Under.Ligne launch, last night. Taped to the back of the cab's partition is a cute drawing of a cartoon cab with the slogan "This is a happy cab" written above it.] Britt (to Driver): West 26th Street, between… Driver: [...]

Sure that’s Faux Fur?

We put as much trust in the labels on our clothing as we do in the labels on our food. As in, we believe whatever it says. But apparently, this may not be so smart. The Humane Society just filed a pretty hefty lawsuit against Dillard’s, Lord & Taylor, Macy’s, Saks, Neiman Marcus and Andrew [...]

Scene 1: Kiosk, a fun galleryish store on Spring Street gets their neon arrow sign stolen in the middle of the night. The owner blogs about it the next morning and posts the security video. Scene 2: The sign, or a sign that looks a lot like the sign, appears outside a new Urban Outfitters [...]

Is the New: Vermont and St. Tropez?

So, I really did go to Vermont this weekend, and I really did try to keep an eye out for Karl even though I was really on the wrong side of the state. But guess what? Karl’s not the only one moving his off-hours fun site to the green mountains – On Friday, I stopped [...]

Politically Incorrect with Cynthia Rowley

And now, a note from Faran… Last season, Ann Demeulemeester made some pins inspired by Kara Walker silhouettes (without the racial subtext or the fury or the brilliance, of course). This season, Cynthia Rowley is going one step further, introducing a holiday cocktail dress inspired by the artist’s work. It’s actually a pretty great dress, [...]

“You’d Sink To The Bottom With That Thing”

>My parents live in Doha, Qatar. They’ve been there about a year and I’ve yet to visit them. But I’m planning a trip for Christmas and agreed to go when my Dad assured me it’ll be warm enough in mid-December for my sister and I to lie on a beach/by the pool for almost two [...]

Killer Clowns from Cyberspace

Louis Vuitton Loves the Benjamins

So here’s something that shouldn’t shock us, but somehow, totally did: We were having a nice morning chat with a friend of ours that works at a Louis Vuitton boutique and she said: “Oh god, I have to help re-tag all the items at the store tomorrow. So annoying.” Why? Is there a sale? “No, [...]

Cute Shoes, Cuter Name

Aren’t these boots adorable? (Picture them with cigarette pants, now coo.) But here’s something else: They’re called “Trottinette” ankle boots, as in trottinette, French for a (child’s) scooter. Does that mean it won’t be weird if we wear these while scooting around Bryant Park? Or that it won’t be weird if they’re worn by a [...]
