Fashion Math: The Row’s $55,000 pill-covered backpack, or other things you can get for $55,000

Do you remember last year when Ashley Olsen flaunted that $39,000 crocodile-skin backpack? Of course you do! You only had to consider selling your cars, house, and giving up college, right? Well now you might also want to consider selling your soul and the rest of your family because The Row’s new backpack is $55,000. But at least you’ll have this super chic extra fabulous crocodile skin bag adorned with useless prescription pills.

 

Or, contemplate on other things you can buy with $55,000… read more…

What’s Your Dream Collaboration?

Fashion collaborations are clearly here to stay, from Jeremy Scott for Adidas to the much anticipated Maison Martin Margiela for H&M – these bad boys are popping up every other week. So, we got to thinking… in a perfect little fashion world, what would be our dream collaboration? They could be out-there crazy pairings or just two designers that we’d would love to see working together. We asked our sisters/sisters-from-different-misters – Sharlene Chiu, Aliya-Jasmine, Liz Trinnear, Sarah Taylor & Sheena Snively for their input on this pressing matter. read more…

Here are a few ways to wear the trend no matter what your budget is. read more…

HEADLINES: Justin & Selena Kiss at Cabo Wedding, Scout Willis Rocks Assless Chaps, and Lauren Conrad is Boring & Predictable; Predictably.

Good timing girl! If you are going to do a nude (well bare butt at least) shoot, do it while your mom is getting a divorce and is too distracted to yell at you! Scout Willis #FTW (People)

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez kiss at Cabo wedding. Hear that? That’s every girl 12-year old girl in the world crying simultaneously. Simmer! (Popsugar)

Andie MacDowell’s daughter Rainey Qualley is the new Miss Golden Globe. She’s an aspiring actress and singer. Shocker! Baby has mommy’s hair. (CBS News)

Claire Danes’ wedding advice to Anne Hathaway is to pop some Ambien the night before. I would suggest she take one before the ceremony too. Do you remember Annie at the Oscars? Yeah, exactly. Annoying as all shit. (The Cut)

Someone’s got to break the news to Lauren Conrad. Santa’s not real girl! Thank god too, because everything on her wish list is predictable and boring. Which is predictable. (www.laurenconrad.com)

The Row has another outrageous backpack . But it won’t be on our wish lists this year. Yikes, I’m scared! Ten bucks Kanye rocks this before years end? (The Purse Blog)

We broke down the details of Chanel’s Pre-Fall 2012 show yesterday. Watch Chanel’s venture into Bollywood in its entirety here (In Style)

HEADLINES: Anna confirms Marc Jacobs at Dior, Mulberry moves to the city that never sleeps, and Prada WOWS with video lookbook.

Anna Dello Russo plays favourites and she doesn’t care who knows it. Marc Jacobs? ‘One of the five designers of the CENTURY.‘ Quite the compliment, no? Oh, and Marc Jacobs at Dior: confirmed. (Fashionista)

There really is no excuse for this. Especially not from Upper East Side’s resident fashionista Blair Waldorf. Yuck! (Dlisted)

Mulberry has opened its NY flagship store just in time for fashion week. And it looks like this British brand is getting quite comfortable in the city that never sleeps. (The Purse Blog)

I’ve never understood why spring lines show in the fall. I mean I understand the business aspect of being one step ahead but please don’t tease me with spring when cold weather is imminent. Especially not with The Row, I die for The Row. (Vogue)

So I don’t know if you’ve caught on yet but it’s Fashion Week in New York (pardon the sarcasm I know your not dumb). To celebrate In Style interviewed celebs like Emma Roberts and Rachel Bilson to find out their first-ever fashion show memories. (In Style)

Hands down the coolest look book I’ve seen this season! And probably the most interesting. Brava Prada! (The Daily Beast)

Carine Roitfeld’s opinion really is revered. Tom Ford chose what to produce based on Roitfeld’s suggestions. Tom Ford, the man who personally revived to major fashion houses (well in my opinion). She’s big tyme! ( Fashionologie)

All about TOMS

If you don’t know about TOMS already: 1. Seriously? Where have you been? 2. It’s about time you found out. Not only does TOMS create fabulously comfortable and fashionable footwear, they help struggling children in Africa. And not the 1% of profits, just-here-to-raise-awareness type of ‘help’ so many brands these days brag about. REALLY help – one for one. Each pair of TOMS sold gives a pair of shoes to a child in need. read more…

ASHLEY OLSEN’S $39,000 BACKPACK

This is your girl Ashley Olsen sporting The Row’s $39,000 backpack. Yes, that’s right. THIRTY NINE THOUSAND. So we’ll just sell our cars, forget about college and live in a swamp. Actually, we’re sure we’d fit into the swamp quite well, seeing as the bag is made from crocodile skin.
