i love Nick Snider <3 i truly do.. . and you should watch this video and take in the educational information about a serious issue.. .but i cant help but point out that he has to be wearing sunglasses to read directly off the page, if not a screen, googling it as he records.. .especially since the exact same information is posted at the end, verbatim. The parts where you can tell its just him speaking from the heart, warms u all over like your Hermes cashmere scarf.. .please dont tell Chad. thx.

catch me if u can, with a cigarette in hand.. .and it's love

fall into the Gap.. .omg i remember that campaign? i'm old

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

I dont have a lot to say about the collaboration with the Gap for the designer collections, in stores on April 15th, I just know that all girls should have Philip Lim's white shirt and Philip Crangi's accessories. The Crang is a sexy beast.

Here are some actual details about the CFDA funded endeavor from Fashion Week Daily:

Lim's collaboration resulted in four pieces: a tie-neck shirt, a bell-sleeve ruched shirt, and a layered sleeve top, all at $78. "I've always been a fan of the classics and I love everything iconic," said Lim. "My motto is when in doubt, just choose good style. Gap, to me, is synonymous with that."

Band of Outsiders designer Scott Sternberg created a patchwork tunic for $88. "Growing up, Gap was this depot of great jeans, great sweaters; just the best basics that were out there. I was trying to create something that felt very easy but fresh and modern," said Sternberg.

Threeasfour's Gabi, Adi and Ange, meanwhile, designed a camisole for $78 and a cutaway dress for $88.

In men's wear, Bastian created an epaulet and a Western shirt for men, both at $78. "I'm so proud to be able to do this with Gap," he said. "To be the first men's designer to do a shirt for men, as well as being able to design my first piece ever for women, is amazing!"

Crangi, meanwhile, whose task was to create jewelry for the project, devised items such as a white or black wide resin cuff for $45. "It's a real clean slate," he said. "I can go in there and really state the aesthetic of Gap jewelry which is exciting."

A scale?

“A scale. So people always say that I weigh my staff, and it is totally wrong. All my girls are very skinny and very chic and very beautiful. And if they are not beautiful, well, then they are very charming. So people always say that I weigh them, but no. I don’t weigh my girls.”

And that interview will probably go down as the most awkward interview ive ever read. i wasnt even in the room when it occured and i could see the interviewer looking for an emergency exit. it sucked though because the exit was totally behind Lima, no way to be coy about that.

So i was just living through my lazy Sunday, when i came across an editorial for french Vogue circa 07/07. Now i know that this is old news given the date, add an additional 3yrs for the fact that it's fashion.. and the fact that this is a blog.. ok it's ancient. King Tut, the Titanic sank, This blog. i get it. But hey, sometimes posts like to kick it old school so deal with it. In the spread, Snejana Onopka portrays American Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.. When you look at the spread, you may think that Carine is complimenting her American counterpart, seeing as how Snejana as Anna looks a million and three times better than Anna herself.. but just when u think it's a tribute to high style.. u notice how art immitates life. Notice that the same pair of Blahniks are worn throughout the spread. If you know me at all, you know how it pisses me off that Wintour has fashion at her manicured finger tips and all she wears is beige Manolos, day in and out. The Devil Wears Prada.. a couple of times a year, she truly wears Blahniks like no other.

But.. to the industry's shock and horror.. Heidi Montag-slash-ShePratt has launched her own clothing line appropriately dubbed Heidiwood. I get that it's a play on words.. but is it also a play on lifestyle? Because there's absolutely nothing Hollywood about the $10-$60 range that her line is retailing for.. unless we're talking about lattes in Hollywood..
Lovely little Miss Whitney Port also has a clothing line in the works; a 17 piece collection by the name of Eve & A. (Pssst... are we notsupposed to think of the clothing line ADAM + EVE??)

Former Chloe designer Paolo Melim Anderson is no longer going to be giving the final bow post runways shows. So far it appears that it was an amicable break up.. they'll still meet up for Starbucks, air-kiss and tell the other that they look fab.
Chloe's new designer, Hannah MacGibbon, was a member of the Chloe design team when Pheobe Philo, prior to maternal instinct, was Creative Director of the brand. Hopefully what she'll take away from Paolo's 3 seasons at the house, is that the Chloe woman has evolved past eyelet baby dolls and Paddingtons.

"i want your babies"
"then stop crushing them.."

Sartorial genius Tom Ford tells Fantastic Man that he plans to have a baby within the year. [if he had to have the stretch marks, he could probably do without.. .]

Says the designer:

“I’m going to have a kid in 2008. Richard (Buckley, Ford’s longtime partner) knows I’ve wanted this for a long time. He’s just resisted it. He would be a spectacular father. It’s going to give his life new meaning.

“It will be biologically mine. I mean, I’m a lot younger. If things follow their natural order, [Richard will] probably leave the planet ahead of me, and I can’t not have had something I’ve wanted forever.

“I’ve always wanted kids. I don’t want to get to be 75-years-old and just have made a lot of dresses, done some houses.”

You can also find Tom lettind down his emaculately groomed chest hair on the cover of Russian GQ this month.

At 10 months old.. when i took my very first steps..i received critical acclaim from my mother, praise and applause surrounded me, the Papz' bulbs were flashing so bright i had to put on my killer $3 electric blue plastic shades [which would be so street chic right about now]. Oh how times have changed.
In the year 2008, a kiss on the forehead and a choco-chip cookie just dont cut it. Now, for wobbling a foot and a half, you get to sit front row and oggle the models at Viktor & Rolf, while people 18+ years your senior settle for Googling them.
Life is hard for toddlers.. preschool starts.. the pressure to be popular..everyone hating on how fab ur lunch box is.. weight issues.. it never ends. But i'm fairly certain that when you're strolling in fashionably late, interupting carpet time, wearing an Agyness Deyn tee by Deer Dana and metallic jazz shoes.. .you're pretty much king of the jungle[-gym]. And then there's middle school.. the reading gets super intense; focusing on National Geographics.. because it's your social responsibility to know where your fur came from. And the prize for an A on ur paper? Just a wee something from Chanel. Nothing major.

so i'm guessing this poncho is made out of cat hair.. .

because it has far too many lives for my tastes.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
The first offense comes from 2006's The Devil Wears Prada. We see a poncho in passing as Nigel takes pitty on poor Andy Sachs. Although she hasn't the slightest clue about fashion, even the oblivious knows that this poncho is all wrong when she scolds, "a poncho?"

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
The second offense comes from.. -sorry, just shuttered..- a Payless commercial. I was at home one blissful spring day in 2007, hopefully getting ready for something fabulous.. but probably not.. when this interrupted my [hopefully far more entertaining] programming. It's quicker than the blink of an eye; but I'd recognize that monstrosity anywhere.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
The third, and dear gawd I hope final, sighting of this hideous poncho came by way of ABC's Cashmere Mafia. This is really the only problem I've ever had with Mia Mason's wardrobe.

So obviously legendary Sex and the City stylist Patricia Field can be blamed for the first and third misshaps. So does that mean some Payless stylist saw Pat use the poncho and figured it must be chic, and decided to use it? Or does Pat do freelance ghost styling for discount retailers?
