Our Top 5 Looks from Alexa Chung for Madewell

She’s backkkkk. Yup, Alexa Chung has played designer at Madewell once more. Her debut collaboration with the brand dropped last year and received a rather warm reception. This time Chung describes the line as less ‘selfish’ than her previous line. Stating that her first collaboration was more ‘exaggerated 60’s’ styling, and promising that her current line is much more wearable. And we whole-heartedly agree. read more…

HEADLINES: The Satorialist Gets Bitchy, Holly Madison’s Boobs Get Insured, and Balenciaga has Bench Issues (or do they?)

It was standing room only at the Balenciaga fashion show in Paris yesterday, and it wasn’t a good thing. Due to faulty benches (really guys? get your shit together!) the famous front row were forced to stand throughout the duration of the show. The collection ultimately got rave reviews and the publicity this story is receiving makes me wonder if it was all planned. You can’t trust anyone these days! (HuffPost Style)

Geez, Scott Schuman (better known as The Sartorialist) is really starting to get on my nerves! Even though he shares my annoyance with Tavi he is pretty gutless in expressing it. Bullying against children is SO not cool Scott. NOT COOL! Neither is bragging about your success, for that matter.  (The Cut)

So Kim Kardashian wore this to go bowling! Stop pretending that you hate when people talk about your sex-appeal; you’re asking for it! Seriously if you cry one

time over a ‘revealing’ photo shoot I will shoot you in the head. Not literally; I don’t think I would thrive in jail. (The Superficial)

Why can’t men just be straight up about their baldness? This is why I respect Prince William; the only reason really. Because he rocks his bald spot with dignity. John Travolta take note dude; you’re not fooling anyone. You’re not fooling anyone, about ANYTHING! (The Daily Beast)

Holly Madison has reportedly insured her breasts for a cool $1 mil. I am confused as to how this works. How much is her premium? I don’t know a lot about breast implants, but don’t they age and need to be replaced? That’s what the Real Housewives of OC say anyway and they are as good a source as any, I mean, their all 90% plastic. (Pop 2 It)

Bar Refaeli recently posted a picture of her eating ice cream at a Spanish amusement park. And then she promptly threw it in the garbage because she doesn’t ACTUALLY eat ice cream. (@BarRefaeli)

A more perfect family could not possibly exist. I die for Harlow completely. And why is it that the longer Joel Madden is with Nicole Richie the more attractive he becomes to me? Hmm, weird. Anyway, great outfit on Nic as freaking usual. She really does have the best street style; for LA anyways. (Popsugar)

Cap toe shoes, the newest addition to fancy footwear, are all about the toes. BE WARNED – these shoes will not protect your little piggys from say, a nail gun or a falling 2 by 4, but they will ensure you look fresh to death south of the ankle. The style works with flats, pumps and boots. So shop some of our favourites below! read more…

HEADLINES: Carine Disses Oprah, H&M Does VERSACE, and is Alexander Wang the new John Galliano??? (Patience is a Stupid Virtue)

Carine Roitfeld has finally answered the question on everyone’s mind; what’s next? Well … a magazine, that’s what! But don’t worry Vogue; she’s not looking to compete. However she has specified it will be a print magazine instead of online because, “things quickly go out of style on the Internet.” I guess that’s true, but not if you’re on your game like us! (Fashionologie)

The latest tip to hit the rumour mill? Dior has tired of courting Marc Jacobs and has now moved on to Alexander Wang. Can Wang be persuaded to move? It remains to be seen; but you got to think they will be needing a creative director soon. I mean, like, how are they functioning over there? (Vogue UK)

Here’s your first look at the newest H&M/designer collaboration. Betcha can guess the designer by just looking at these images! However, I will aid those too slow to catch the drift; hint: It’s Versace. Not that you will be able to get your hands on any of it, this shit will sell-out in seconds! (Refinery 29)

Way to go Chicago! You are officially America’s Most Mustache-Friendly City. Movember is just around the corner; so this could be your time to shine! But please remember; just because it’s on your face doesn’t mean it’s exempt from man-scaping. Maintain that shit! (Chicagoist)

Lara Stone has no memory because she used to smoke so much pot when she was living in the Netherlands. Lara, we warned you! Those cannabis fragrances were for smelling not smoking! But of course, you didn’t remember that because you were high for the first 25 years of your life! Silly girl. (The Cut)

Kate Moss has announced that she is launching a jewelry line in collaboration with Fred. Her inspiration? Her tattoos! Interesting concept; I just hope she doesn’t have a tramp stamp or something. (My Daily)

Only these select few people can rock a unibrow guilt free, and to their credit, they rocked it hard! Personally, it’s not my style but all the power to yuh my hairy friends! (Life)

TUMBLR OF THE WEEK: Fashimals.

In an act of pure genius, an anonymous godsend of a human being has revolutionised the practice of anthropomorphism. Thankfully, we now have a guinea pig Anna, a cat Karl, and a freakishly accurate eel Valentino. The resemblance is scarily uncanny. read more…

MORE KNITS LIKE THIS PLEASE!

Karl Lagerfeld has done it again! Though, I guess that’s a redundant statement. Because really, when does he not ‘do it’? You know? Regardless, his Spring 2012 line for Fendi was no exception as Karl brought it and brought it hard. Offering some balance to the loud and proud florals we had seen back in New York; Karl showed a very wearable and chic line. That being said … you know we play favourites; were not the diplomatic type. So what were our favourite pieces? These amazing cable-knit sweaters with a twist. And no, I am not just referring to the twisted cable detail.

At first glance you wouldn’t necessarily notice how spectacular and different these knits are. However, under closer inspection … read more…
