It’s Chambray, Hombre!

The nice thing about being a lady (besides everything) is that we can take bits and pieces from our fellow men’s wardrobes and turn them into something completely new. Take the chambray shirt for example. It’s light, it’s casual, it’s versatile and it’s necessary. Inspired by the early 1900’s US Naval uniforms, this classic men’s work-shirt has now been transformed into a spring/summer favorite that us gals know how to ~werrrk~ without the work. You know what I mean? Just take a gander: read more…

The Downfall of Designer Diffusion Lines

Designer diffusion lines… bringing high fashion to the masses. Except not really. Because when entire lines are bought out by money hungry eBay re-sellers and pieces go up online at 900% their original price – we’ve really missed the point. read more…

All Pantone, All The Time

Need more excitement and gaiety in your life? Don’t be scared, we’re not asking you to go out and buy a pair of pink sparkly shoes – as exciting and gay as they are.  Just add a simple splash of colour to everyday objects that’ll brighten up your daily routine (thanks, Pantone). read more…

HEADLINES: Sasha Pivovarove Make Clothes for Gap, Stella McCartney Makes Clothes for the Olympics, and Keds Make Clothes (Period).

Sasha Pivovarove is a supermodel, legitimate painter, actress & now Gap lingerie designer. Some people are just over-achievers. (Fashionista)

Not sure where this Top 10 list originated from; but the important thing is I found it & I am sharing it with you! Check out Miss Piggy’s Top 10 Fashion Tips – they will make you snort. (Shine)

95 years after the brand was first conceived, Keds is launching a clothing line exclusively available at Opening Ceremony. Why is this necessary? This sneak peek is just … meh. You’ve lasted 95 years in the fashion industry – so I’m thinking if it ain’t broke? (Fabsugar)

Ugh. A licensed replica of the Carolina Herrera wedding gown worn by Kristen Stewart in Twilight’s Breaking Dawn is in production and is set to retail for $799. The thought of Twilight-themed weddings is making me gag. (Too Fab)

Stella McCartney is the creative director for Britain’s 2012 Summer Olympic Team? Really? Doesn’t this seem a little excessive? Oh well, let them try and compete with the popularity of Vancouver’s Olympics gear. Red Mitten Nation! HA, good luck! (The Cut)

Well you can file this under – “WTF … Useless Designer Things” Only Hermes would be audacious enough to sell a cup cozy for $200. (The Purse Blog)

This Miu Miu ad featuring the adorable Hailee Steinfeld has been pulled in theUK because it has been deems “irresponsible” for depicting a child sitting on train tracks. Yeah, I don’t really know how to respond to this. (Telegraph)

Gap Tells Patrick Robinson to Hit the Road, Anna Wintour Prefers ‘Dirty Money’ to ‘Sasha Fierce’ and Kate Bosworth Thinks She Can Sing. These Stories and More in Today’s Style Headlines.

Patrick Robinson (the guy that kind of looks like Ben Harper but has a prettier face and bigger fro) has been fired from his position as Executive Vice President of Gap Global Design. Apparently this change doesn’t come as a surprise as Gap’s sales have been tanking these past few years. But what about the RED campaign? I thought everything Bono and Oprah touch turns to gold … maybe gold, but evidently not SOLD! (Huffpost Style)

Anna Wintour rarely dances. No surprise there; you can’t look perfect and terrifying if your shaking your booty. However, word is she will dance for Diddy but not Beyonce. (The Cut).

So Lily Aldridge and that guy from Kings of Leon (aka luckiest bastard ever) are getting married some time this month. However, the bride-to-be is keeping the actual date of the nuptials a secret from her future hubby. Only a Victoria’s Secret model could spring a wedding on their guy without warning and know that he won’t bolt. (Vogue)

Just great! New studies have shown that my leggings are making me fat. Perfect, so you are telling me I have to actually wear real pants? (Huffpost Style)

Kate Bosworth is the newest face (and voice) of Cotton. The new ‘fabric of your life’ commercial features Bosworth’s breathy voice. Why do all celebrity’s think that whispering qualifies as singing? (Racked)

Sorry nymphos but orgies will no longer be allowed to take place at the iconic Chelsea Hotel. (Refinery 29)

Target has announced that its next designer collaboration will be with Missoni. Oh how I wish we had Target in Canada because I’d definitely be down to fill my zigzag craving at a reasonably discounted price. (Elle)
