Carrie Bradshaw might have given me false hopes with her lifestyle of fabulous shoes and expensive clotheson a writers salary, but collaborations between stores like H&M and designers like Matthew Williamson may be turning some of those pipe dreams into reality these days. The stores latest collaboration with one of the Sex & the City character’s favorite big names, Jimmy Choo, goes above and beyond all expectations, More »

Anna dello Russo may be a name few American women recognize. But, she is quickly becoming a fearless fashion icon across the world. The Fashion Director At Large for Vogue Nippon (Japan), Russo gained large popularity when The Sartorialist’sScott Schuman started noticing her.
“Fringes, feathers, bold colors, extreme shoulders, cocktail attire in broad daylight…nothing seems to pahse Anna dello Russo.”[via].
She’s becoming the hottest thing across the fashion blogs since Tavi. She may have the same first name as our own Anna, but her and her signature legs could literally trample over Wintour… More »
Mimi Weddell, our favorite “Advanced Style” subject and the actress whom we threw a big old hat party for last fall at the Algonquin Hotel has passed away at the age of 94. Ari Cohen has a beautiful post HERE on the ways Mimi helped shape his life in NYC. The limited time I spent with Mimi was full of eccentricity fun, and of course, style…always style. I have never been more concerned about how I was dressed than the coffee date spent with Mimi! ha. What a gem! Here’s our hats off one last time to the great Mimi Weddell! More »
The Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party seems to have gotten exponentially younger post-Lauren Conrad, no? Kelly Osbourne seemed to be one of the oldest there (she still gets into the Teen parties cause of her TEEN boyfriend, Luke Worrall, left), along with editors Lisa Love and Amy Astley. AnnaLynne “Where Is My Rib Cage” McCord gave a lesson in the dangers of posing TOO HARD on the red carpet, Selena Gomez looked adorable, Taylor Lautner looked beefy, and everyone else looked twelve. More pictures of stars you may have vaguely heard of through their famous parents/appearances on The Cosby Show below… More »
[Lydia Hearst gets the final touches before the Marc Bouwer virtual runway shoot] Want to be a model of Lydia Hearst type stature? Well, we’ve got some tips for you straight from the socialite’s mouth. Because Lydia Hearst is no stranger to modeling, and while the heiress and socialite may be most currently known for her topless shoot in this past May’s GQ Italia, one can not forget her many past campaigns and runway shows. We caught up with the blond bombshell while preparing for Marc Bouwer’s virtual runway show to talk about not only her busy schedule for New York Fashion Week, but what her plans were for after, London this week, her Birthday (it was Saturday), and some advice for fashion show goers… More »
Anyone that knows me is well aware of my DANNIJO obsession. (At left I’m wearing the Sparo bracelet, the Bahlia necklace, and a version of my all-time favorite piece of jewelry ever, the Rejas necklace). The jewelry line quickly won its way in my heart… and not just because I’m good friends with the two spunky sisters that founded the company. DANNIJO is one of the unique lines that gets the juxtaposition of flirty romantic and funky rock and roll bohemian - a testament to the girls’ own distinct personal styles - right. Which is why I was so excited to see Jodie and Danielle Snyder (a pair we recently interviewed) up on the Today Show this morning. Watch the segment below… More »
I have been in love with The Sartorialist since before I can remember. I will never forget the day I met Scott Schuman in real life. He stopped me outside of my office (the GM Building). It was December 8th, 2006. And I was pretty flattered. I look so…little. Anyway, Scott Schuman is now a well known name around the world. Last night, Barney’s hosted a book signing for his first book of all of his photographs “The Sartorialist.” On sale now. More photos and story below… More »
If Marc Jacobs is the A-list show of the season, than it looks like we might have to dubb Jill Stuart the B-list celebrity sh-itshow equivalent. With just about every Bravo show represented front row at this morning’s 12pm show at the New York public library, the turn-out had the paprazzi’s head spinning at who to snap first. The Real Housewives of New York had a solid showing with Jill Zarin, LuAnn de Lesseps, and Kelly Bensimon, but as an added treat both the Real Housewives of New Jersey and Atlanta were represented
Ramona Singer: Reality Star. Ramona Singer: Jewelry Designer? If this seems like a far reach to you, remember her fashion background that she’s stressed on the Real Housewives of New York, her attendance at fashion shows, her turn into the skincare market (apparently, you aren’t an avid Bravo fan like I am if you don’t). Now the firey Real Housewive, who is currently taping the next season of the popular show, talks to us about her affordable line of estate-inspired jewelry, priced from $200-$500, that will debut tonight, Monday, September 14th, 10pm, EST (as well as September 15th 11pm Pacific).
