Smarty Pants

Absolutely loving the loose, slouchy pant that I’m seeing EVERYWHERE these days.  I’m even starting to love pleats on trousers—never thought I would see that day again.
I particularly like this pair from Diane Von Furstenberg:


                  $298


Check out this awesome spread from Marie France magazine--March issue:




As far as tops go, you should pair your slouchy, full pants with a fitted tee or blouse--even a fitted blazer will work.


Some other Smarty Pants for Spring 2010:

Oscar de la Renta

Ok, first of all, this entire look is fashion heaven. ODLR is genius.


Alice + Olivia

LOVE these pants.  The Zen Pant $275 (a steal!)



Badgley Mischka




Carlos Miele

The little bolero/shrug sweater or jacket also looks great with this pant

It’s either the quickest way to fashionably top off an outfit or it’s your worst nightmare.

Billie Piper = Must See TV

Are you watching Secret Diary of a Call Girl?
If not, you should be because this is what you're missing:











A witty ensemble cast that will have you laughing (and sometimes blushing) at their antics:


The sexual tension between the lead character, Belle and her best friend, Ben (who happens to be one of the best dressed actors on television):



Sometimes Belle plays dress-up:






Sometimes, Belle goes shopping (after she counts her money):







In the Season 3 premiere, Billie Piper (the lead actress) meets the REAL Belle (the TV show is based on a best-selling memoir by, you guessed it; a London Call Girl):
Billie Piper is far hotter than the real-life Belle


I just finished watching the last episode of Season 3 so I'm a little obsessed with Billie Piper these days....
Here she is as a brunette in the February 2010 issue of (UK) Marie Claire, wearing that delicious trench coat from Burberry Prorsum:





She's charming.


So, if you're not watching, what are you waiting for?

What About Bob?

I want a Bob haircut like Faye Dunaway in Bonnie & Clyde:






However, the last time I tried a Bob, I looked like this:


Carol Channing


My hair hates me.

Head Candy

From movies, to pop culture, to famous works of art, The Bowler Hat is tucked firmly into the ever-changing timeline of fashion history.



Thanks to Jean Paul Gaultier for Hermes (A/W 2010), The Bowler is back--for a lot of people, it never left.

For the rest of us, it's nice to know they're not just for that Cabaret Halloween outfit that we pull out every other year.

I think I'll go dust mine off now.

10 Reasons To Watch ALT on America's Next Top Model

André Leon Talley, Editor-at-large (no pun intended) for Vogue magazine will debut as the new judge of ANTM tonight.

It’s been awhile since I’ve watched the show—I wasn’t impressed with it since Janice Dickinson left.

However, with ALT on board, who knows what kind of shenanigans will ensue!


Here are 10 reasons why you need to watch:

1.    He just may use the word "dreckitude" which he define’s as, “the lowest point in the lowest ebb. It  could be your look. It could be your shoes. It could be that you’re standing wrong. Drek is a total, total, total hot mess."

2.    He may make a joke about that whole ‘lunch in the car’ scene that was deleted from The September Issue. Fun!



3.    There is a good possibility that a big cat fight between him and just about anyone on the panel could break out at any time. At least, that’s what we’re hoping. However, the best cat fight of all would be between ALT and Miss J. Le Sigh.

4.    He may wear a turban


5.    He could say things like, "Most of the Vogue girls are so thin, tremendously thin, because Miss Anna don't like fat people" and “there’s a famine of beauty in the U.S”  He’s very quotable.

6.    We will see, first-hand, how he gets along with Kimora Lee Simmons who is supposedly going to guest judge this season. What a mix: high-fashion vs. no-fashion.

7.    Chado Ralph Rucci is designing a different ‘cloak’ for each episode!



8.    However, there is a possibility that he could show up looking like this:


9.    One of the models will not know who he is…and he’ll have to explain.

And best of all.....

10.  He’s going to scare the shit out of conservative, homophobes across the globe!


Like you needed 10 reasons to watch!
