their big fat freak necklaces May 30, 2005 2:40 pm >> Dear Filip Arickx and An Vandevorst...
no glove? no love. May 30, 2005 2:19 am >> A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
i do, in fact, "luv koshi" May 29, 2005 3:35 pm >> "Get koshi : be unique" is her slogan of choice.  And I can't say that it's not true.  koshi began in 2003 with the release of a paper zine, "koshi is...
a little bit of je ne sais quoi May 28, 2005 5:15 am >> Mon dieu!  Alber Elbaz has been doing wonderful things at Lanvin -- the Spring/Summer 2005 collection alone has outfitted the likes of Nicole Kidman, Diane Kruger, and Natalie Portman (looks worn by each to the left, respectively).  And Lanvin's booming popularity doesn't just stop at the dresses -- his accessories are just as coveted.  The tulle-swathed pearls that everyone wanted back in 2004, anyone?  Don't worry if you didn't get yours last time around -- the pearls are back with a vengeance for Fall 2005, this time more sumptuously decorated and wrapped in orange or black velvet ribbon.
s'il vous plait May 27, 2005 6:54 am >> Hair hair...a toast to the ridiculously-easy-to-mimic Spring/Summer 2005 runway 'dos.  Tiny braids paired with bed-head hair were all over the models for the Jean Galliano collection (left).  I cannot stress the greatness of this runway trend -- we all learned to braid when we were like two (it's not like you're trying to put a chandelier in your hair or anything...cough...Dior), and little braids are cute no matter where you're going...even if it's just to the grocery store.  For a more sophisticated look, go for the Heidi-esque style seen on the Moschino models (right).  Take advantage, people...
a brilliant answer to a brilliant question May 27, 2005 3:40 am >> "Hi! I was wondering if you knew what brand where the boots the MK was wearing in the #2 outfit (the one with the blue scarf and coffee thermos)?
roll and rock! May 26, 2005 3:43 pm >> Bermuda shorts are literally everywhere these days -- you can even get them from your local Abercrombie or American Eagle.  Who wants to look exactly like everyone else they pass on the street?  Not me, for one.  It's like sailing into the Bermuda triangle -- guaranteed death.  To avoid such a frightful doom, I suggest taking the lead from a look seen on the Spring/Summer 2005 Chloe  runway.  Just take those shorts and roll them up a bit.  Its seriously the easiest diy project you've ever undertaken.  Effortless perfection, if you will.  These exact Chloe cotton shorts with cummerbund are available at net-a-porter.com for $650, but are selling out quick.  Satine boutique is preselling another option:  Rebecca Taylor's roll up long shorts for $202.  I personally am using the cropped wide-legged pants shown at the top of this post, available from anthropologie for $58.  Trust me, they look just as cute.
go-go for these babies May 26, 2005 1:40 am >> Wow.  I came across another pair of drool-worthy shoes...my shoe fairy godmother must be watching after me today or something.  If you're looking to channel some serious Edie Sedgwick, these boots are the place to start.  They're go-go boots sans heels, giving them a slightly edgier and modern look.  I personally suggest you go-go get some before they sell out -- $79 at yoox.com. 
and then i jumped over the moon... May 25, 2005 4:28 pm >> Behold the gorgeousness that is Jocasi's Parax Moon Bag.  I was looking for a bag to travel with at the end of next month, and this one is just exceeds all my expectations.  It has a zipper closure to discourage those with sticky fingers, and it's a great size.  Did I mention the supple leather?
get the pointe May 25, 2005 1:40 pm >> Oh my goodness.  I'm still out of breath.  I was just going through the list of the normal sites I hit up on a daily basis:  La Coquette, Style Diary, The Fashion Spot...
