Sarah Jessica Parker Does Simple

Very rarely do we ever see SJP looking this simple and this stunning. Gorgeous. Well done Carrie Bradshaw.

Project Runway: Sloppy Pajama Party!

NEW YORK - JULY 28: Model and Project Runway Judge Heidi Klum attends the 'Project Runway' Season 8 premiere at the Empire Hotel on July 28, 2010 in New York City. (Photo by Jason Kempin/Getty Images)1. Everthing's Changed.  At the beginning of tonight's episode, we find out that everything has changed. April and Gretchen are the only ladies left and Gretchen notes how quiet it is now without the constant chatter and giggling of the other silly girls. April does not seem to disagree with this assessment. The living arrangements, however, are not the only changes that will be made. Once the designers go before Heidi on the runway, Mrs. Seal informs the designers that they will be required to switch models. The designers agonize through their choices and none of us really care because who are these models anyway?



2. The Challenge/ Heidi's Take. Heidi next tells the designers that for this challenge she will be their client and the designers will be required to create a look for her new line of active wear at New Balance. We fear that what Heidi means is that the designers will be required to create sweatpants. After Heidi shows the looks from her line, our fears appear to be confirmed as she shows hoodies, yoga pants, and sports bras in grays and blacks. But, in case this prospect is not exciting enough to the designers (which we suspect it is not to many of them), Heidi informs them that the winning look will be sold on Amazon! Yippee!

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

(Photo by Henry S. Dziekan III/Getty Images)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.

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.
