[Kristin Bell] October has arrived, as hard as that might be for you to believe, and celebrities are keeping themselves busy distracting themselves from the oncoming cold weather with a little bit of retail therapy.  Lindsay Lohan was spotted picking up loot in Paris with friends while Rihanna along with Anna Wintour stopped by a few shows kicking off Paris Fashion Week. Actress Kristin Bell attended to shopping in Australia while her Couples Retreat co-stars Jason Bateman and Vince Vaughn attended to their bromance on the red carpet for the film’s Aussie premiere… 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’s Scott Schuman started noticing her.

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»

This is why Anna Wintour is superhuman: while most New Yorkers are just now recovering from NY Fashion Week exhaustion, Anna Wintour is STILL GOING! Despite probably being bone-tired from the past two weeks, AND jet-lagged, she’s has to rally for the folks across the pond at  London Fashion Week . Our (haute-couture) hats are off to you, Anna.

[Front row at Marc Jacobs. Photo by BILLY FARRELL for PMc] With what seems like hundreds of shows it’s hard to tell who the big players in town are. And it’s true - it does change a lot on a day to day basis.

We’re embarrassed for you, but we also love hearing about it. Thanks tipster, and keep ‘em coming! More»
