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)

HEADLINES: Kermie Gets a Makeover, The Fashion World Shakes Up Its Roster, and Kris Jenner is a Dirty Cheater.

Kris Jenner was on Leno the other night when she admitted to carrying on an affair during her first marriage to Robert Kardashian. Kris says, “We had wild sex everywhere, all the time.” Okay first of all TMI; second isn’t it just so convenient that she drops this juicy secret while trying to pimp a book? (The Superficial)

Tamara Mellon, co-founder and face of the brand, and Joshua Shulman, the company’s CEO, are leaving Jimmy Choo by the end of the month. Shulman assures skeptics that their decisions to leave were made independently, however this seems a little fishy to me. Change is a coming! (Fashionista)

It seems Manolo Blahnik and Franca Sozzani share the same point of view concerning the John Galliano scandal. Blahnik tells Vogue UK he thinks Galliano was treated horrifically by Dior and alleges the company destroyed a talent. Those are fighting words Manolo, fighting words! (VogueUK)

Speaking of Dior, the guessing game continues concerning who will replace Galliano as reports state negotiations with front-runner Marc Jacobs have slowed. Further Pheobe Philo, Marc’s successor-to-be at Louis Vuitton, has announced she has no plans to leave Celine. Ah, the plot thickens. (The Fash Pack)

Modi Operandi is stealing its employees from all corners of the fashion industry. Among the recruits are Taylor Tomasi Hill, former style and accessories director of Marie Claire, and Roopal Patel, a longtime executive in the fashion offices of Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman. Sneaky, sneaky. (The New York Times)

Paris’ Printemps is spending Christmas with Karl Lagerfeld, rather LOTS of Karl Lagerfelds. Karl was given the privilege of orchestrating the store’s Rêve d’Evasion (that is, travel dream) Christmas windows, which feature mini Lagerfeld marionettes photographing, filming, sketching, and posing all over Paris. Why am I not surprised? (Style.com)

Miss Piggy isn’t the only muppet to invade the fashion world; her beau Kermitt is right there with her. The famous frog got a formal wear make over courtesy of Brooks Brothers. The retailer gifted Kermie his first new tuxedo since 1979. (The Cut)

HEADLINES: Nicki Minaj Does Lil’ Wayne, Miss Piggy is Draped in Designer Duds, and Blossom is Awesome.

Miss Piggy is having a serious fashion moment! With the new Muppet’s movie coming out soon our little Miss has been busy on the promotional circuit. From representing MAC to a fashion spread in In Style this little piggy is living in a sartorial dream. (The Cut)

 

Penn & Zoe are way more interesting than Penn & Blake. Yeah he is scruffier and his hair is too long but finally when I look at photos of him I don’t just see ‘Dan Humphries.’ Zoe is giving him an edge; an identity outside of Gossip Girl and I like it! (Popsugar)

According to Amanda Seyfried stunt heels are a thing. She explains to People magazine that, “they are half the size of the original design.” Okay, so essentially they are just shorter heels. What a tease, I thought she was implying they did magic or something! Bummer. (People)

Want to dress your lil ones like Kingston Rossdale? Because you should! That kid doesn’t just have style; he’s got swag!  No fear – Harajuku Mini for Target is here! Could those plaid pants be any cuter? (Lil Sugar)

Halloween Costume Idea: Nicki Minaj dressed as Lil’ Wanye! Our favourite Barb channels her fellow Young Money member in her new video for “Y.U. Mad.” Girl looks hot in dreads; is there anything she can’t pull of? The answer is no. (MTV Style)

One of our favourite girlies Chloe Moretz tells In Style that her mom still has final say on her wardrobe and does not let her buy designer clothes like Dolce & Gabbana.  In fact, Chloe says she still shops at the mall and frequents Urban Outfitters. How down-to-earth and refreshing! I’m looking at you Katie & Suri Cruise? (In Style)

Before she was on The Big Bang Theory or rocket scientist she was simply “Blossom.” And we loved her and her BFF Six dearly. Go back in time and appreciate 90’s style with Blossom’s fashion designer as she recounts what inspired the Awesome Blossom style. (Refinery 29)
