>> BLOWING THE COVER —She's been on a cover (or two) of almost every edition of Vogue under the sun, and yet, Sasha Pivovarova has never gotten to wink her way onto a cover of i-D.  Until now, that is — she's got not one, but two different covers for the magazine's July 2008 issue. [CR Blog]

After a long, hot weekend you can count on our Network Partners to kick start Monday with thought-provoking content. Margaritas and sweat will do that to a blogger. That said, The Runway Scoop started the week off with her Carrie Bradshaw style musings (a lot of questions, a lot of wonderings) on whether fashion magazines should inform readers on how to spend wisely during a recession rather than, uh, please their men in bed. If you ask us, let's leave the fashion magazines alone and quietly go about the real content from our laptops, eh?

Today Miss Crew wondered whether the brands who use Kate Moss as their pretty face aren't confusing consumers who might not be able to distinguish between YSL and Topshop ads. We're all about Topshop editorial but it 'aint no YSL ad, that's for sure. In fact, we suggest that a face so iconic no longer registers in our minds at all. It's like the anti-face, face.

Stuart Weitzman puts out two million dollar shoes and our Network Partner, The Shoe Blog, is there to prove it. Despite the fact that many of the world's most fashionable women are not even wearing diamond wedding rings anymore, thanks to those who think having a conscience need not inhibit one's style, we reckon many women will covet these diamond sandals.

We've a certain pair of high waist Cheap Monday's that are so tight, it feels like we're wearing a denim wetsuit. On that note, our lovely denim expert, Denimology, pulled together a denim swimsuit gallery for our viewing pleasure. We've got to give it to our Network Partner, who reminds us that swimsuits deserve a bit of trend analysis too. Also, props to the blog who makes itself relevant, even when it's too hot to wear jeans.

>> After last season's "Nueva York" themed campaign, Donna Karan and Kate Moss are back at it again for Fall.  This time, the mood is the dark mystique of the Orient Express — as Karan herself explains the idea: "There's a romantic classicism, a little darkness, an Eastern European kind of decadence.  She was on a train . . . on the go, but feels intimate and sexy at the same time."  Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott did the honors, shooting Kate at Union Station in downtown LA.

After a prolonged winter, it hardly seems fair that we should have but a few delicious moments of spring before the oppressive summer heat sets in. Though the 100+ wave is sweeping the nation, city heat just seems so much worse, with its dripping AC units, bumper-to-bumper traffic, exhaust fumes, and rotting garbage piled curbside. If you're sitting there with beads of sweat running rivulets down your face, clothes sticking to your skin, and the prospect of trudging through city streets thronged with tourists or riding a subway car packed with sweaty commuters has you whimpering, it's high time you got out of town. If the weather forecasts divine accurately, it'll probably be just as hot where you're headed, but there is sweet relief to be found in the cold surf, secluded beach houses, and spa sanctuaries. Since, there's no use trying to accomplish much else, you might as well start packing your bags. We've picked out some stylish weekenders to tote around a couple of days worth of swimwear, flip-flops, and sunscreen. We suggest you leave your laptop and Blackberry at home.
