Movie Premiere Muumuu

Sometimes we think actors are just toying with us. I mean there's no way actress Samantha Morton thought a muumuu, custom made for an 80 year old woman living it up in a Tallahassee retirement community, was a good idea for her, a thirty-three year old woman, to wear to a movie premiere? Right?

The Bridal Stylings of Lauren Conrad

Lauren Conrad recently appeared at a Barnes & Noble in NYC wearing a white lacy dress with headband to sign copies of her new books Sugar and Spice and Lauren Conrad Style. And what we have to say is this: Please stop wearing headbands LC. In fact, everyone let's say it together now. No more headbands. And why are we so opposed to headbands, you may ask? Well, there's no good reason really, as they are a quick easy, often inexpensive hair styling solution. Yet, we feel strongly that what should have been a short-lived trend has lasted for far too long, and to be honest, headbands give us a terrible headache. And we don't like painful fashion. Not one bit. Example: Our beautiful pair of 4 inch platform peeptoes just sit in our closet wasted in their adorable glory. And why? Because they literally weigh 10 pounds, kill our feet and we find walking in them to be impossible after about 15 feet out. A better trend? Wedges of any kind...so comfy and cute...

But we digress. Back to LC...

I've Got Something in My Front Pocket at YSL

Is it just us or is there something slightly vulgar about these front pockets featured in several of the Yves Saint Laurent looks shown this week at Paris Fashion Week? And yet, this funky front pocket, isn't something we've seen before and sometimes, you know, your right hand gets cold.What say you gentle readers? In or out?

Enormous Hats at Chanel

OK, dear hearts, when we first saw this, we thought it was the world's largest hat. Alas, no, it's only an umbrella. But you know what? We kind of think it's a fabulous double take and we enjoy our fashion with a sense of humor.

Let's go ahead and check out the front.

Bjork at Givenchy event

Bjork decided to memorialize her swan dress forever by dipping it in gold.

Paris Fashion Week: J'adore John Galliano

Gentle readers, if there were just one fashion show we could go to it would have to be, hands down, a John Galliano show. Drama, beauty, and once you look past the crazy hair and hats and makeup and scenery (but then again why would you want to do that!), you are left with completely wearable and gorgeous clothes.

For his 2011 Spring collection, Galliano took his inspiration from Maria Lani, a 1920s muse to some of the greatest artists of her day including Amedeo Modigliani, whose portrait adorned the invite to the show. The twenties inspiration was everywhere, particularly in the silhouettes and styling. But the bright pinks, oranges and blues  and floral prints were all completely of the moment. And the white sheer gowns were...drop dead gorgeous.

Russell Brand and Helen Mirren at The Tempest Premiere

Say Cheese. Ah. Russell Brand. Here he is acting a like a jerk at The Tempest premiere and, yet, we must admit the man makes us laugh. He's so deliciously idiotic and such a complete and utter prick that we find him hilarious (Forgetting Sarah Marshall is one of our fave films). Plus, it has to be an act, right? And, yet, we feel certain that hanging out with him for an afternoon (or a few days in Scotland) would make us want to jump off a cliff.

Part 2: If We Were Rachel Zoe in Milan...

Shake it, gentle readers! Another trend we noticed during Milan Fashion Week was a generous use of fringe in quite a few glam looks created by high profile designers for the 2011 spring season.

1. Golden Girl. First, this gorge gilded gown by Versace is sure to see a red carpet during awards season. Not only do we love the fringe, but we totally dig the detailed bodice. We think Demi Moore could look pretty fab in this little number and there is no way Ashton would be hooking up with twenty-one year olds after seeing his sweetie in this gown.
