Jennifer Aniston as Babs...

Jennifer Aniston channels Barbara Streisand, in the September issue of Harper’s Bazaar.  I think she looks beautiful. 

I think the profile pictures are really successful in recreating that quirky glamour that Babs had. But in this head on shot, Jen looks way too pretty and the moment is lost…

What do you think of the shoot?

Blog Crush: The Glamourai

The Glamourai might be the prettiest girl to ever write a blog. When I read style blogs, I always wonder who is taking the photo. Do they set the camera up to take shots automatically? I would never feel confident enough to stand on a table and pose like this in front of another human [...]

Favorite fashion designers turned decorators: A review.

Diane von Furstenberg is designing 20 rooms in the Claridge Hotel in London. So far, photos of only one of the rooms has been released.

So far, many other fashion designers’ forages into interior design have been, well, less than stellar.

Lets take a look:

Another reason to hate Little J.

As if the bad hair extensions and raccoon eyes weren’t enough….
Taylor Momsen takes stripper heels to the next level.

Oscar de la Renta iPad Case:

Lame status symbol or covetable accessory?

I think lame… Only because it doesnt work as well as the Apple case. That one props itself up to make a little stand:In the case of this case, I vote for function over fashion. U?

Zara Wedges: Your thoughts please.

A few weeks ago a friend came to a RHNJ viewing party at my house wearing these wedges. Then today my sissy walked in wearing them too!

Apparently, they are from ZARA and are a limited edition of some sort… in any case, I couldnt find them on their website, and the website is pretty useless [...]

Shoes: A history.

As a society, we havent changed much:

The world’s oldest leather shoe was found in Armenia. They actually interviewed Manolo Blahnik for this article. It was made around 3500 BC and is a woman’s size 7.

I knew it looked oddly familiar…. And then I remembered this:

I’ve been eyeing these Givenchy Sandal $495 at Barney’s for a [...]

What the HELL is Pre-Fall?

My inbox is being bombarded with emails from various retailers informing me of new “pre-fall” arrivals.

What is pre fall? Isnt pre fall SUMMER? Why do we need a pre-fall?

I googled and came up with this from NY MAG.

Are you ready for pre-fall? We know what you’re thinking: [...]

From The Archives: Grandma's Snake Belt

I’m wearing Grandma’s snake belt over a black romper today. I think its from the 70s? I have had it for at least ten years now. A vintage store owner once tried to buy it off my body. Um, NO WAY! Love you Grandma!

Collina Strada

A few weeks ago I posted a roundup of some of my favorite beach bags for summer.

One of these bags was the Collina Strada Ferra Bag… Aviable for $268 from Urban Outfitters.

Two days ago, Hillary from Collina Strada emailed me and thanked me for mentioning the bag.

(Of course, I now feel super awesome about myself.)
