Lanvin's Alber Elbaz for Acne Jeans in 2009? Yes please. Could this mean slim trouser cut chambray for him and frothy chambray cocktail frocks for her? Does it even matter? Will it be expensive? Hell to the yes. Will it be worth it? Ditto.

your body's a wonderland.. .

2008-04-29T07:56:00.003-04:00

it would've been asking too much to ask Joseph Gordon-Levitt to recreate the tangible amount of sex appeal that was on display in the GQ spread with Claudia [of course we dreamed but we dare not ask.. .].. but JGL poses as an average American Joe [yea ok sure.] in Wonderland Magazine where he talks about the usual: hitrecord.org and french girls.

Is it Joseph or Joe?
It depends who’s talking. And, more importantly, it depends on how they say it. If a pretty French girl wants to call me Josef then I’m down with that.
Do you like the Jimi Hendrix song Hey Joe?
…where you going with that gun in your hand? Yeah. I love it.
What was a key lesson you learnt from being a child actor?
That whatever you do, you do it all the way. So with acting, you decide how you’re going to play the character, you work out how they behave and you commit 100% to that. If you don’t, it’ll fall ﬂat, it’ll come across as self-conscious and the audience won’t feel it.
Are you glad you spent six years on 3rd Rock From The Sun?
I spent all of my teenage years there. I credit just about everything I know about acting to that show. It taught me how to be professional.

“I’ve had a select set of really beautiful, powerful, psychedelic experiences on certain drugs but I never got into just doing it at a party: ‘Oh let’s get fucked up and drop acid’. That’s so retarded and disrespectful to your body and the drug itself.”

Who are you most like – your father or your mother?
I’m a mix between the two. I hope you don’t take any offence, but I prefer not to talk about my parents.
Why did you give up acting and go to college?
I’d forgotten why I loved it. I’d been doing one show for so long and I’d been working since I was six so I kind of lost track. I just wanted to not do it anymore; to not know what my future was.
Do you owe your current ﬁlm career to taking that break?
I’ve been doing this for 20 years now so it’s been a gradual progression. The new ﬁlm stuff all happened after a ﬁlm I did called Manic, which I made in 2001. I played a mentally ill kid. If there was one hurdle then it might have been Manic. Rian Johnson saw it and cast me in Brick. Gregg Araki also saw it and cast me in Mysterious Skin, which was the ﬁrst time that anyone had asked me to be sexy.
What was it like taking Brick and Mysterious Skin to Sundance in the same year?
It’s a cliché to say it, but that was a dream come true. To go to Sundance had been a promise I’d made to myself since I was a kid working on TV. So ten years later when I was able to go there with two movies that I was really proud of, it meant the world to me.
Which character has been most like you?
It depends from day to day. I do know that Tommy Burgess, the soldier I play in Stop-Loss, couldn’t be more different from me.
How?
I was brought up to believe that ﬁghting isn’t the answer and it’s better to use words. Everything in my upbringing went against me ever becoming a soldier. I wasn’t even allowed to play with toys to do with the military.
So although you’re playing Cobra Commander in the G.I. Joe movie for Paramount, you were never allowed to play with G.I. Joe dolls as a kid?
That’s right. No toys that had guns. But I got to know a lot of soldiers through Stop-Loss and I learnt what it means to be one. No matter what you feel about America’s occupation of Iraq, it’s important to distinguish that, in a way, what those soldiers do is the bravest thing a human being can do: they put their lives on the line for each other. I’ve never risked my life for anything.
Do you have any vices?
Well, I drank a lot when we were shooting Stop-Loss. A lot of beer, a lot of hard liquor. If we weren’t on set we’d go work out like a bunch of meatheads. Then we’d eat a lot of meat. And then we’d go drink at the nearest place we could ﬁnd tequila, Coors, whatever. And just get really drunk. By the time I was done, my tolerance for alcohol was nuts! I could shoot liquor all night long and be alright, but now, not even close. I’ve never been much of a drinker, it’s not really my drug of choice.
What is your drug of choice?
I guess marijuana. I’ve had a select set of really beautiful, powerful, psychedelic experiences on certain drugs but I never got into just doing it at a party: ‘Oh let’s get fucked up and drop acid’. That’s so retarded and disrespectful to your body and the drug itself. Mushrooms, acid and ecstasy can offer you a new perspective. They can also offer you nothing.
Do you exercise when you’re not ﬁlming?
I go through phases. I put on 10lb of muscle for Stop-Loss. I don’t lift weights normally. Lifting weights is weird. I can understand doing it if you’re an extremely dedicated athlete, if you play football or something, cool. But if that’s all you’re doing at the gym, I think that’s weird.
What’s your USP?
My what?
Your Unique Selling Point.
Really? My unique selling point? Jesus! I guess maybe the fact that I didn’t know what USP stood for could be my USP?

“When I saw David Bowie in concert I froze the fuck up. I was there with my then-girlfriend and hardly looked at her for two hours – and she was good to look at. But I only had eyes for David.”

Do you lose yourself in your characters?
The simple answer is no. Some actors stay in character on set. I think that’s impressive but I’ve never done it. But when I went home at night on Stop-Loss I was still very much in the mood of that character. It’s a strange thing to say about yourself, but I change a lot with different roles. I’m a volatile person.
What’s Killshot about?
In Killshot I get to play the bad guy with the gun. I ride around in a blue Cadillac with Mickey Rourke shooting up 7-11 stores. Mickey’s a really great guy.
On what occasions do you lie?
I don’t. Maybe when I’m talking to interviewers. That’s about the only time I’ll bald-faced lie. Because interviewers lie about me.
Often?
Of course, but it’s not that big a deal. When I think about how soldiers get misrepresented by journalists it makes me stop complaining. I’ve been thinking a lot about the way the Iraq war is portrayed in the media. Journalists are trying to get ratings, they’re showmen just like I am. You never get much more than a sound bite from the actual soldier, hand-picked to make the show entertaining. That’s why I’m proud of Stop-Loss – because it tries to represent soldiers in a respectful and accurate way.
Are you a character actor or a leading man?
[Laughs] A ‘character actor’, what does that mean? I don’t appreciate the dichotomy, because a good actor is going to play a character. Johnny Depp is a very good-looking, leading man dude but he plays characters because he’s a good actor. Daniel Day-Lewis, same story.
Do you think you’re attractive?
[Laughs] That’s not a fair question. How can you answer that without sounding like a tool?
Do you make a playlist of music for every character?
Yeah. My G.I. Joe one is still developing. He’s a weird one. I’ve been listening to big, illustrious classical music, and Jay-Z. I think the ﬁrst song on my Stop-Loss playlist was Kick Out the Jams, the MC5 song.
Is music crucial to you?
Yeah. We’re all made of music. It’s the most basic thing in the universe.
Do you collect anything?
Snail shells. I don’t know how many I have – I’ve never counted them. People ﬁnd them and give them to me.
Who would you like to work with?
Tim Burton, especially after doing Stop-Loss and The Lookout. I’d love to do a Tim Burton movie where reality doesn’t have much to do with it.
Have you ever been star-struck?
When I saw David Bowie in concert I froze the fuck up. I was there with my then-girlfriend and hardly looked at her for two hours – and she was good to look at. Usually when I see a band I watch what the drummer is doing, what the bass player is doing, but I only had eyes for David.
Do you Google yourself?
Yes. It was a triumphant day for me about a year ago when my website hitrecord.org came up ﬁrst on the Google page under my name. I make short ﬁlms and put them on there. Now I think it’s number four.
Have you ever been to court?
When I lived in this apartment in New York the landlord was one of the worst human beings I’ve ever met. He took advantage of poor people in a low-income neighbourhood. I took him to court.
Have you ever been in love?
Yes.
Are you in love right now?
No.
What were your favourite ﬁlms growing up?
Well, Dumbo still hits me harder than just about any other. Dumbo or Bambi couldn’t happen nowadays. In this business where accountants and lawyers are now in charge of how stories get told, the movies are sucking.
Are you in the frame to do the live-action Akira with Leonardo DiCaprio?
That’s just a rumour. They haven’t ﬁnished the script yet. I’m waiting to read it.
Are you worried that doing big movies like G.I. Joe will make your life difﬁcult?
In what way? In terms of fame. I don’t feel famous. That word gives me the creeps. Personally, I don’t think fame has that much to do with it – it’s about making good movies. When I was younger, if people recognised me, I would lie or hide. I’d rather have just gone to work and then burnt the ﬁlm. I was a selﬁsh little kid, really. But now I want to do stuff that matters. So when people come up to me and say that a movie I was in made them laugh or cry, it means everything to me.

After looking so pretty in pink on the newsstand cover of Harper's Bazaar's May issue - shot by Peter Lindbergh - Julianna Moore displays her inner sex kitten on the cover of May's VOGUE Paris.. .shot by Mario Testino.. .natch.

i have no fear of heights, you've seen my footwear.. .

2008-04-29T07:32:00.003-04:00

so i'm not entirely sure of when it happened. i might've been accompanying a coworker on a smoke break or something. but somewhere between a coldplay marriage, 2 kids, a marvel remake and a Vogue cover, Gwyneth Paltrow became the fiercest bitch in town. I had no real interest in the movie until i saw Gwyn gracing every red carpet in sky high footwear [mostly Louboutin & Givenchy - that zjhee-vawn-shee, Whitney]. I barely know what the movie - Marvel's IRON MAN - is about, so instead of believing it served as the Gwyneth-Got-Gams campaign, i watched the trailer. From what i gather, she's some sort of assistant. Whatever, her shoes are hot. Iron Man opens everywhere on May 2nd.

and i dont care what the people say.. I'm gonna be a SUPERMODEL.. .

2008-04-24T21:26:00.003-04:00

Joe Zee has been extremely busy wrangling Hollywood's elite to be on the cover for Elle Magazine this summer. Rihanna is rumoured to appear on the publications cover wearing Gucci, August cover girl MK-fuckin-Olsen, and the homely Jennifer Aniston for the always awaited September issue.
So im hoping that MK for Elle will be better than MK for Harper's Bazaar was.. . but nevertheless she'd still be amazing. I'd much rather her on the cover of the September issue.. but that may also be due to the fact that i would do unspeakable things to never see Jennifer Aniston on a fashion cover ever again.

The Diva Wears Prada.. .?

2008-04-24T10:53:00.003-04:00

Rumour is that Miuccia's bread-and-butter Sasha Pivovarova has been replaced for the AW08 Prada campaign by Mrs. $10 000-a-day herself, Linda Evangelista. Despite looking fabulous in AW07 Lanvin, pictured here, Linda will be clad in all of the lace Prada had on display and be shot by Steven Miesel. Did Sasha take time out to focus on her art? or did the luxury brand simply opt for a new, fresh 43yr old face?

The Bradshaw By-Law.. .

2008-04-24T01:23:00.003-04:00

With the Sex and the City movie just around the corner, i thought it'd be fun to pay homage to the Carrie Bradshaw of yesteryear, before our little fashionista was all grown up. I Basically just went back to her fundementals: Funk, fun and colour [is there a synonym for "colour" that starts with F?]. Although it looks like a chiffon mini dress, the multi-coloured garment is a Chloe jumper, one-piece shorts suit? who else but Carrie really? Classic Ray-Ban aviators, a Kenneth Jay Lane necklace [reminds me of the one she wore on a date with Miranda and the asshole ex], studded Burberry heels and a Marc Jacobs clutch. Most important accessory? obviously a wild mane, dark roots, 17 shopping bags and a maxed credit card.

Here's the single Labels or Love by Fergie for the SATC: The Movie soundtrack.

for all of those that want to stand on the hood of your tinted window limo and scream "YOU CAN'T BE ME, I'M A ROCKSTAR" - besides you, Pharrel (although your legs would look phenom in this) - be sure to strain your lungs and vocals while in this ensemble. Maison Martin Margiela wild horses tee [the grey block at the bottom is actually an extended panel at the back of the shirt], Rick Owens leather jacket, Kova & T leather leggings and a leather shoe-bootie, also by Margiela, so the leggings read more as a pant and an OTT Burberry satchel. [note: the shoes - although boots - are open toed. plz dont be a rebel when it comes to pedicures.]

you obviously can't touch this.. .

2008-04-23T08:09:00.005-04:00

some of you may look at this post.. and then at your watch.. and then furrow your brow, realizing that no, it's not hammer time. But i enjoy these MM6 Martin Margiela shorts because they remind me of a more fluid take on the ever present boyfriend trouser. Paired with a Nathan Jenden short sleeved blazer and Todd Lynn razor sharp dress shirt [leave the sleaves down and wear a mens timepiece over the cuff, or roll it up if uneven sleeves bother you that much], Day Birger Et Mikkelsen necklace, killer Chloe shoes and a bright orange-ya-glad-it's-spring?! Fendi bag.
If by some off chance you have this borrowed from the boys look in your closet as you read.. i suggest wearing to work today.

I created this look for the blogger for "the search for chic". she has a very minimalist aesthetic with black being a mainstay and keeping her looks more so about the silhouette and mood of the pieces. i think this would be a great look on her.
Rodnik blouse tucked into a L'Wren Scott skirt and accessorized with a Be & D oversized clutch, Christian Lacroix cuff and Christian Louboutin Moro shoe boots.

[she'd probably replace the Moro boots with her fabulous Ariella studded Loubous, and swap the Lacroix cuff for her Michael Kors menswear timepiece]

Why is Julianne Moore so good? i mean all the time, just amazing. I'm not sure what the cover shot is, for newsstand or subscribers, but her spread - shot by Peter Lindbergh - pays homage to portaits throughout history using Spring/Summer08 looks. My favourite is the flawless red haired siren posing as Egon Schiele's Seated Woman With Bent Knee, 1917, in a Lanvin dress and Wolford knee highs (above).

yea my baby's pretty as a car crash.. .

Cameron Diaz on the cover of W Magazine's May 08 issue. The spread inside shows the actress in Rodarte and sky-high Louboutins. Maybe the decidedly disheveled look of the spread was influenced by how frantic she was when she showed up late to the interview?

HIGH

It's happened. high/low dressing has broken my heart. When i saw this coat in a french connection ad, i thought every girl in my life would get it, and live the Proenza fall/winter dream.. i thought the coat would be silk-taffeta and all sorts of fancy.. but unfortunately.. it's made of a pedestrian canvas and is priced at juuuust over too much to make the outfit high/low anymore. But, had it been the silk-taffeta wonder i assumed it was, it couldve been pair with these Alexander McQueen pumps at $595 and wouldve been all sorts of fierce.

SO VERY LOW
[i'm also beyond appalled that when you click "canada" on the french connection site, this coat, the "Mayhem Coat" isn't even an option.. forgotten once more.. also on the Canadian side of the site "Coasts and Jackets"... we dont even deserve spell check?]

mayhem indeed.. . (also see; tres tragic.)

In the next issue of T: Magazine, Marc Jacobs styles french actress Elodie - you've seen her on the L word and in a dope Bonnie & Clyde-esque GQ spread with Mark Ronson - in a veritable potpourri of Marc designed pieces, both from his namesake as well as Louis Vuitton..
I guess the whole styled by a designer angle was supposed to seem fresh.. .but if the he's styling the stunning actress in pieces he designed.. isn't it just like being backstage at a one-model fashion show with staged-candid photographs?

it's MAY MAD(ge)NESS!! (its also 5am, dont u judge my title)

Try keeping your fur topper in a light colour to evoke a fresh spring attitude.. .

Or pair it with other spring time constants like bright colours and femme florals.

Shame on you if this trailer isn't already saved in your favourites, I'm just posting it in good fun.

So apparently some people are a little bit beside themselves at how airbrushed the promotional photos are for Sex and the City: The Movie.. .i personally see nothing wrong with it. it's a sign of the times really, they look younger, healthier and more resilient than their '98 selves.

i'm not one for a strappy sandal.. but I LOVE an exposed zipper. Stay climately cool yet fall/winter 08/09 appropriate with this exposed zipper sandal from Christian Louboutin. Bad ass, n'est pas?

amazing. utterly amazing. just like the latter, there's enough skin exposure with these Marni sandals to save from overheating in the warm spring/summer climates, but come fall/winter, pair them with textured hosery and you'll still be on point for the f/w return of the pointed toe shoe.

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

2008-03-21T13:51:00.003-04:00

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."

“One thing,” she says. “I have in my office—what you call in America? Something to weigh?”

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.”

Katie Holmes is "rumored" to design a line for Armani, starting with a children's line for spring/summer 2009, moving upto womenswear by 2010.
It has also been reported that Mr. Armani has asked Katie to be on his arm for the Costume Institute Gala in May, where she will obviously be wearing Armani Couture and looking enviously flawless.. .bitch. love u though. <3

You can breathe, i'm not talking about Glenda.. there's still no Britney on the cover of Harper's. Jim Nelson however, editor-in-chief of GQ Magazine.. he should be ashamed of himself. Adriana Lima is featured on this years annual Love Sex & Madness issue.. as she was last year. 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. But i do get the token.. you put the hottest virgin who works in one of the hottest industries on ur cover.. ure bound to sell some issues.

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.

The glitterati are fleating.. .to help Teen Vogue celebrate The Beat, Burberry's newest fragrence. Pretty young things, including Julia Restoin-Roitfeld and Gossip Girl's Chace Crawford and Taylor Momsen, filled the venue - clad in Burberry, naturally.. - and posed for the Papz while host, editor-in-chief Amy Astley and co-host Daisy Lowe worked the crowd.
A fashionably late Bailey explained the premise behind the brand's new beat:
"Every generation of kids comes around and makes that heritage new again—makes it play to their beat."

The staying power for most celebrity clothing lines is about the same time period for laxatives.. around models.. during fashion week.. in paris. Dilute that fact with mediocore media success and pseudo-celebrity status? Disastrous, n'est pas?
We've already murmurred, scoffed and guffawed about Lauren Conrad's "collection".. never to her face though.. and if she's reading this [because she seems like the type of person that would Google herself]:
We totally loved what u did recently at LA Fashion Week! Absolutely love it!! Is there a waiting list? kiss kiss.. .

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??)

then.. .

. ..now

So i'm guessing that the only intern who's now getting paid to do what she experienced during her internship [because that is what this was about.. .remember?] is my favourite uber-intern, Emily Weiss, who's now a Fashion Assistant at W Magazine.

what was originally a preposterous rumour..
"LeBron James on the cover of Vogue with Gisele? That's madness!"
Madness? Maybe. But it's also true. The two appear side by side on the cover of Vogue's annual Shape Issue.
Although none of the Top Models have really done anything memorable within the fashion industry.. is it possible that Ms Wintour took a cue from Tyra circa America's Next Top Model: Cycle 1 when NFL star Clinton Portis vogued with the "Top Models"?

Now.. i sincerely doubt for most of us that an editor making the rounds and click-clacking her way through Paris Fashion Week really counts as the "real" way.. but it's nice to see the logo'd sweatshirt away from the matching heather grey instead-of-a-bra high waisted trousers.

Dear Alexandra,
Congrats on your new furniture store on Melrose, darling. But if you're going to keep the von Furstenberg name, even though you divorced her son long ago, to further your career, might i suggest slapping on a Diane von Furstenberg frock every now and again lest this dress make another appearance. It may burn when you put it on at first, but you'll look infinitely better. Big kiss.

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.

Mannequin image made possible by a well-styled window and http://www.modelizing.blogspot.com/. The way the mannequin is caught in her own reflection; so dope. She doesn't even have a face and she's still F for Fierce.

SJP -in Dolce & Gabbana- vogues for Annie Leibovitz in a photoshoot for an upcoming issue of Vogue, promoting/building the ever present anticipation of the Sex and the City Movie.

So the question remains: What will i max my Visa on whilst creating an outfit to don for SJP/SATC?
caveat:[and by max, i mean pay off visa, smile, then max]

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

2008-03-08T09:16:00.001-05:00

because it has far too many lives for my tastes.

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?"

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.

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?

STOP! in the name of fashion

Natalie Portman does Elle April 2008

2008-03-07T10:58:00.000-05:00

Not a whole lot going on with this April cover. A bored expression accompanied by a lackluster, high school hipster "hands in skinnies" pose.
Saving graces?: Natalie Portman is always gorgeous, and she's wearing a Balenciaga s/s08 jacket with her skinnies and undone hair avec a wristful of jewels. The only way to truly do casual if we're being honest with ourselves.

This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Welcome to 'Sum Like It Haute'. Of course I wanted to just call it SOME.. .but that was taken by a girl who hasn't logged in since the dawn of time.. . But I digress.. .
For now this is merely a blog of my daily fashion musings and all of those little things that rattle around inside your head that you feel other people should not only hear, but agree with. But I promise you this: NO Brit Brit. No matter how "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" she is.. . The only way she'll land on these pages is if she stumbles naked, drunk, and airbrushed on the cover of Harper's Bazaar.. .again (fool me once Glenda.. fool me once). There's just no niche for her here, for on this blog Rachel Zoe is more influental, Cashmere Mafia is reality TV, and Visa doesn't wake me up with "do you think we don't intend to get our money?!" phone calls. Honest to blog.
