Anya Hindmarch gets Spoofed: "I'm not a Smug Twat" 2007-06-21 14:13:00 Today's latest rip off surprisingly is not from Forever 21 but from Marissa V, someone who clearly doesnt have the creative ability to create something unique, who is attempting to spoof Anya Hindmarch's "I'm not a Plastic Bag" by creating the "I'm NOT a smug twat," sack which fails miserably at its effort to mock the buyers of the real deal. She claims it is "a reaction to the it-bag phenomenon, a reaction to the faddishness of fashion." I smell someone very bitter....Don't worry owners of the Anya Hindmarch bag, I own one too, we are part of a great cause and look adorable while doing it. Make fun of me now Marissa V!Others making money by ripping it off: I'm not a plastic bag eitherPhoto Cred: ekmpowershop4.com
Style Watch: No bathrobes on the Red Carpet 2007-06-21 12:52:00 I'm all a fan of one piece jump suits. If done properly they are summery chic however if not done properly they can be confused for a Ritz Carlton bathrobe: 100% cotton, airy and belted.

Vogue Living: The Magazine and Coffee Table Book 2007-06-21 12:25:00 WWD Reports: Some may have thought it dead, but Vogue Living
lives on after all. Vogue will publish a second edition of the magazine hitting stands October 23 even though the first version left many media watchers underwhelmed. And for those who can't get enough interiors in a 200-page magazine, there's also a coffee table tome coming called "Vogue Living: Houses, Gardens, People" that can be had for $75. The 400-page book, to be published by Alfred A. Knopf, will include 35 of the best home and garden profiles in Vogue's history."There are stories that everyone at the magazine has loved over the years — Oscar de la Renta's house in the Dominican Republic, all of Karl [Lagerfeld]'s houses, Madonna's...old house in the English countryside," said Hamish Bowles, Vogue Living's editor in chief and editor of the book. "We wanted to get a mix of fashion designers and the kind of creative style makers that Vogue applauds and give insight into the further creative process of creative Read more:Magazine

Twenty8Twelve launching at Gramercy Hotel 2007-06-21 11:38:00 Twenty8Twelve
by Sienna and Savannah Miller will launch on July 26 at New York's Gramercy Hotel
! The contemporary line will kick off for fall exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman in New York, Neiman Marcus in Los Angeles and Holt Renfrew in Canada. In addition and perhaps a bit aggresive they will be opening their own boutique in London’s Notting Hill area. The fall collection includes an array of pieces — printed silk dresses, denim jeans, cotton T-shirts and tanks, tailored pants, cropped tuxedo jackets, canvas trenches and leather bomber jackets. Sounds very Sienna. The majority of the line wholesales between $24 and $177, with select items, the coats and leather pieces, priced slightly higher. The line will open to buyers with the spring collection, which will be launched at the Fashion Coterie show in September in New York. via WWDI hope the launch is indoors...July 26....NYC...not conducive to blow outs and self tanner. On another tangent, out of all the stores in LA why would th
Style Watch: Katie Holmes 2007-06-20 13:48:00 The Dawson's Creek star has come a long way from Abercrombie jeans and polo shirts. With much influence from her bff, Vicotria, the native Ohioan has built quite the wardrobe. Here while relaxing in St. Jean Cap Ferrat she is "casually" wearing an M Missoni Dress which I dont believe is out yet and Christian Louboutin snake skin pumps that were available at Barney's, and gorgeous might I add, but sadly they are completely sold out.Photo Cred: just jared Read more:Style

Roberto Cavalli + H&M = Love 2007-06-20 11:51:00 H&M has announced RobertoCavalli
as the next famed designer to launch a limited edition line with the Swedish retailer. The “Roberto Cavalli
at H&M” collection will be available in approximately 200 selected H&M stores worldwide for a limited period of time starting from November 8th 2007. The line will consist of iconic menswear, 20 pieces, and womenswear, 25 pieces, including lingerie plus matching accessories.Generally a genius launch time, just before the holidays, you better get the items while they are hot!! One of H&M's strongest abilities is to continually bring in new markets with each collaboration (Stella, Madonna, Viktor & Rolf, etc.). I must say Im thrilled that the next collaborative line is with a real designer and not a celebrity like they did the last time. Nothing says bargain more than a lower priced item that if made with expensive fabrics and tailored to perfection would cost you the months rent. Sorry Madonna! If they sold your cd for less I would have been
Clinton spoofs Sopranos 2007-06-20 11:28:00 Democratic Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton
spoofed the final episode of the hit series The Sopranos
in a video telling supporters the winning anthem for her 2008 presidential campaign was Celine Dion's You and I.In a scene reminiscent of The Sopranos, Clinton's video shows her sitting in a diner as her husband and former president Bill walks in, the Journey song Don't Stop Believin' playing in the background, and a beefy man walking by glaring at them. Watch it now:For those with no sound:"So what's the winning song?" Bill asked."You'll see," the New York senator responded."My money is on Smash Mouth, everybody in America wants to know how it's gonna end," he said.The candidate puts a coin in the music player on the table and says: Ready?"But instead of the Dion song belting out of the machine, the video cuts to a black screen – like the Sopranos – and then lists her website to reveal the song: www.hillaryclinton.com/song and a fundraising pitch.

Can someone please explain: 2007-06-18 12:12:00 What Tyra was thinking when she showed up to the Daytime Emmy Awards in this:The dress itself is a phenomenal piece of art but shoving a 5' 10" woman in this poof makes it look more like a piece of modern art nobody really understands but they find it visually appealing, even if it may be ugly, and well thought out. My interpreation of this is something of a representation of a flood...curtains full of water creating quite the disaster. The color symbolic of the rust damage, her stern face representing the anger. And on a total side note, who wears bangs with a dress like this? The slicked back look would really have added to the effect. Ok, I digress.Photo Cred: superior pics Read more:explain

Her clothing has graced the pages of many credible fashion magazines and has been seen on the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker, Kirsten Dunst and many other fashion forwards celebrities.

The other girls beat me to it, its a jungle out here!!!
Forbes top 25 most powerful celebs: 2007-06-15 12:19:00 I'm not sure how the Grey's Anatomy cast and The Rolling Stones count as a "powerful celeb," why Tom Cruise is even listed, what Celine Deon has done to be listed as #20 and why there are only 4 females listed (not including the Grey's cast) but at least 50% of the women listed are in the top 3!!

Champagne is soooooo fashionable...yawn. 2007-06-27 16:09:00 Style.com reported that one hundred magnums of LVMH-owned Maison Ruinart Blanc de Blancs champagne will be served at the Christian Dior after-party during the couture shows next week. 100 magnums sounds like a lot of bub for the Christian Dior crowd, dont you think? The label's corks will fly again a few days after that, at Valentino's 45th anniversary extravaganza in Rome. Apparently bud light was vetoed by Anna Wintour. Meanwhile the story also reported that yesterday afternoon, the oldest champagne house in the world, Maison Ruinart, hosted a lavish luncheon at the former Vanderbilt Mansion in Scarborough-on-Hudson to celebrate its new limited-edition picnic hamper. Guests were transported to the estate by helicopter and feasted on lobster and, naturally, champagne. Congratulations LVMH on the superficial smug award!Source and Photo Cred: style.com Read more:Champagne
