I’ve been stewing over Kate Moss for Topshop’s Oriental Kimono (non-PC alert) ever since The Cut reported its No Longer In Stock status. …keep reading An Alternative to the Kate Moss for Topshop Kimono Dress 
We saw it first on Carrie Bradshaw, and it was enough to distract us from her runway spill. Beyonce rocked it for her MTV VMA performance; Prada made it a focal point of a recent collection; Rihanna had the cojones to don it at Paris Fashion Week; Lady Gaga‘s its …keep reading Caution: An Exposed Hoo-Ha May Be Harmful To Your Self-Esteem 
Stiletto boots seen on the runway don’t sell so well in stores, if Century 21 is any indication. Overpriced, impractical designer boots to avoid. …keep reading Runway No Way: Stiletto Boots 
Mmkay, so I’m in the market for some kickass ankle boots, preferably ones with a walkable heel. A bunch o’ Googling shoes of this ilk yielded too many options, so I decided to challenge myself a bit. I narrowed my search to include only eco-friendly and/or vegan boots (same diff, as far as I …keep reading Vegan Ankle Boots Not As Heinous As They Sound 
Note: I wrote this on October 1 – the day UNIQLO + J came out – and apparently forgot to hit the Publish button. Can I get a ditz?! Oy. See below. Today, I pulled the nucking futs move of waiting in line for a look at Uniqlo’s collabs with Jil Sander, …keep reading Dressing Room Shots: Uniqlo + J It’s Monday, and I’m nursing a hangover of the worst kind: A destination wedding hangover. The festivities were glorious; the drive to and from Vermont was not. My body’s still vibrating. I look and feel about as alive as a mutilated squirrel. 
Cher: Been shopping with Dr. Suess? Cher’s concern for animals trumped her desire for authentic fluff – she did “fully intend to brake for animals” post-passing her driving test, after all. So, on this …keep reading Fraggle Rock for H&M 
I’m all about the risque, so I was initially psyched about Fall’s lingerie-inspired trends. …keep reading How To: Rock Lingerie in Public 
Okay, so ASui for Tar-jay has a few downs; it’s also got a whole lotta ups. I’m referring specifically to the Dresses category, which boasts an abundance of awesomeness unparalleled in any designer collabs collection to date. Of the four dresses I tried on, I genuinely liked three, was borderline-obsessed with two, and …keep reading Dressing Room Shots: Anna Sui for Target 
The moment McQueen for Tar-jay hit the racks was the moment I stopped giving a shit about designer collabs. I’m not overly familiar with McQueen RTW, but I assume it’s a bit more attractive than his cost-friendly effort (and I use that term loosely). Is copying your own designs really that difficult? Oy. …keep reading Anna Sui for Target Forgets Grammar Check 
Okay, so sex sells. I get it. Fashion and prostitution have a successful symbiotic relationship; there’s Dov and his slut-loving American Apparel ads; there’s Calvin Klein’s orgy-implied billboards. And there’s the way in which women of the 18-25 demographic dress on TV. Let’s take a looksee. …keep reading Melrose Place Makes Slut the New Black 
Ahh, the Cutout Trend: Another way for fashion to con us into overspending on something easily achieved for the cost of an Xacto knife. Cutout tees are everywhere at the moment. Do yourself a fave and don’t go snapping one up from H&M or Forever 21, for the best things in …keep reading Shirt Trends on the Cheap 
There are only two kinds of sale signs in this crazy mixed world, and one of them stinks like poo. Sale signs of the percentage ilk are designed to hint at a deal when, in fact, there is no deal. Case-in-point: TopShop. Bold signage screams 30% OFF, 50% OFF and 75% OFF, until you …keep reading Hate Urban Outfitters, Love a UO Sale 
Think about it: If the same thing were In season after season, what excuse would we have to buy new crap? …keep reading How To: Rip Off Ripped Leggings 
Apparently, my word isn’t enough to convince some that an old pair of jeans + the serrated blade of a wine key = destroyed denim identical to that of the $200 ilk. …keep reading Distressed Denim Pics 
I was browsing Forever 21 yesterday when I experienced a glitch in the matrix and/or case of deja vu. …keep reading Forever 21 Gets Inspired By American Apparel 
My first attempt at DIY destroyed denim resulted in two things: A damaged ottoman, and the gift of the damage-causing creation to my mother as penance. I fully intended on slicing up another pair for my own personal use with my Stanley Utility knife. I arrived back in New York after my weekend …keep reading Tools For Your DIY Arsenal 
Last week, I decided to finish up my homemade distressed jeans whilst vegging on my parents’ couch, and made the mistake of using Mom’s precious leather ottoman for leverage. Note to self: A Stanley Utility knife is sharp enough to cut through two layers of denim AND whatever’s on the other side. It probs …keep reading The Post Where Mom Steals My DIY Distressed Jeans 
Ahh, the Glam Rock trend. While there’s no shortage of tips for DIY-ed distressed
…keep reading DIY Distressed Jeans 
I’m an advocate of all sartorial risk-taking, so it follows that my wear-whatever-you-want modus operandi extends to celebrities. I don’t think someone’s fame alone gives me (or any fashion blogger, for that matter) the right to weigh in on their stylistic decisions. I suppose this means I don’t care about upping my blog traffic …keep reading In Defense of Chloe Sevigny |
