That is one of the greatest answers of all time such as for example in Iraq and in Bolivia ergo the education system afford maps and therefore the, uh such as we are here and it’s good to have a, uh, such as the influence. Thank you, such as vis-a-vis, therefore.
When I turn 70 years old, I want to be just like David Wolfe, creative director of The Doneger Group. He spends his day scoping out MTV, trends and hanging out in boutiques to give us a reliable fashion forecast. Check out his report on the top ten trends of the upcoming season. I wish I were as cool as him. He is definitely my new hero.
Thanks to MySpace, FASHION can truly be your friend alongside your ex-boy/girlfriend and those former high school classmates who you added as friends but you know you will never talk to. Designers like Alexander McQueen and Donna Karan already have active pages and ad campaigns on the narcotic social networking site. With this new page, fashionistas finally have a place that they can prove who knows more about fashion. Check out this video review here:
Gearing up for her next album, “As I Am,” Alicia Keys has turned down the volume a bit on her glam and looks a lot more…natural, relaxed and effortless. She still looks hot though.
Rilo Kiley is hot. The lead singer, Jenny Lewis is hot. The name of their newest album, Under the Blacklight is hot. Their Sept. 6 performance at the San Francisco’s Warfield will be hot. This picture of the group is hot:
I think Jenny may be on the verge of being a style icon this year - and maybe in the upcoming years as well. Her ’60s-meets-emo-meets-Parisian style can be duplicated but there’s a fashionable aura around her that makes her own the look.
…and of course she will never live her role as Shelley Long’s daughter on Troop Beverly Hills (one of my favorite movies I might add) down. She was a performer long before Rilo Kiley was a glimmer in her eye. See if you can spot her in this clip:
Watch out you cell-phone gabbin’ teenagers! A law banning texting and talking on your cell phone whilst driving - even hands free - is on the verge of being passed by the California Senate. Wouldn’t it be easier just to get rid of teen drivers altogether?
First Sarah Jessica Parker, then Amanda Bynes and now Venus Williams! Retailer Steve & Barry’shas teamed up with the tennis diva for a line of active lifestyle clothing and footwear called EleVen.

I have officially been FAB-U-LIZED by the Fabarzzi at Team Sugar! Check it out by clicking on the pic below:
I know this isn’t really fashion-related (it could be Angela Chase was dressing all gothy grunge and emo before everyone else was), but this is news that I must share with the world.
My dreams have finally come true. Angela Chase, Jordan Catalano, Rayanne Graff, Rickie Vasquez and yes, even Brian Krakow are all coming to us in a re-released DVD form on Oct. 30. I know they had it before, but this will include TONS of extras!
This was the best show ever and they stopped airing it before it hit its peak. It made me so depressed - and I LOVED IT! This is a must have for all you DVD collectors of great ’90s TV series. Click here to pre-order!
Yes ladies and gentlemen, I will be headed to the tents in Bryant Park in 6 days to see the Spring/Summer of 2008 collections of some of the best designers in the nation - the world - the universe!
Even though there may not be room for me for some of the shows in the tents *cough*MichaelKorsVeraWangDVFDKNY*cough*, I will still be attending a lot of fabulous shows! I mean, there are like millions of shows happening at once so it’s not like I won’t have anything to do.
That said…I want the Dressed readers to put me on a photo scavenger hunt while I am there. Give me some interesting (realistic and legal) things to take pics of and I’ll try my best to do it! You can request for me to take a picture of an Olsen twin…or holding up a sign in Times Square…or eating at Pastis…or shopping at Century 21…or whatever. And if I grant your request, you may get a little something from me in the mail :).
I look forward to seeing what crazy things you request. Please make the requests somewhat civil and decent. I want to be able to show my face in New York again.
Every morning, I make sure to pack some sort of chapped lip prevention in my little murse. Of course, the obvious choice is anything made by Burt’s Bees.
I perfer the tin one rather than the actual stick because it makes me feel fancier. The cooling action of the balm makes me feel so tingly and happy on the inside and the outside.
The way you dress certainly speaks volumes about your personality and with this whole “wireless revolution” in full stride, a person’s cell phone is turning out to be an accessory - much like a bracelet, ring or chihuaua. According to MyCellStyle.com, it can define your personality…more or less.
So I took the test and SURPRISE SURPRISE…this was my personality:
Runway Ready
Fashion first and fashion forward, you are ready for your close up, thank you. From home to school, from work to play, you never miss an opportunity to look your best. Whether walking into a room, walking through a party, or walking down the street, life is a runway, and you know how to step it. You have a definite style and you want everything you wear, everything you do, and everything you use to compliment your style. You set high standards for yourself, and you expect no less from the rest of your world… and that includes your phone.
That’s kind of funny though. I may be a fashion horse, but my cell phone is the most plain jane piece of technology. It’s kind of like that one Zack Morris had on “Saved by the Bell.” Do you think it’s time for me to get a new one?
I never thought that something so small as a shoe can offend my eyes…
Yes, I know - my stomach churned when I saw them too. They are called CRUGGS (shudder). Even the name is ugly. I wonder who’s bright idea it was to combine two of my fashion pet peeves into one hybrid mutation of monstrous footwear proportions?
I think someone is out there to get me with these furry rubber concoctions.
So, for those of you who read my lovely column today, I am still a recovering glossoholic…and for those of you who have no idea what I am talking about - a glossoholic is one who is obsessed and addicted to any and all kinds of glossy magazines such as GQ, Vogue, Elle and even something like Life & Style Weekly…
Nonetheless, I have calmed my spazz when it comes to glossy magazines. After weeks of waiting, I finally got the latest issue of GQ with a smiling Barak Obama on the cover. Even though the newsstands have had them WAY before I did…isn’t the whole point of having a subscription to a magazine to get it before the general public?
..but it’s not that big of a deal.
I am happy to say that I am not going all crazy when I get the latest issue of my glossies of choice. In fact, I haven’t even read the latest Barak-laden issue.
That said, I am happy to say that I no longer break into cold sweats or get all antsy when I don’t have a high-fashion magazine in my Gola messenger bag…even if I do have three of them in there.
But if you do have an obsession with these kind of mags, I feel your pain. Feel free to contact me if you need some advice. I mean, I went through this addiction, so I can relate. You don’t have to give your name. Just remember - I am here to help.
On Saturday, I attended the final night of San Francisco Fashion Week. Velvet Leaf, Vindy Co, Richard Hallmarq, Effie’s Heart, Onerary and the 615 Project got to strut their stuff on the runway that has provided the best in SF Bay Area style for the past three days - but instead of just writing about…how about I just show you what went down…
After being open for about 3 weeks, the new Ben Sherman store in San Francisco officially staked their claim on 55 Stockton Street on Aug. 23 with a cockney launch party and it was very…British.
Patrons were greeted at the door by British bobbies, complimentary Bass Ale Pints were served, DJ Josh Madden provided appropriate Brit music and the signature Ben Sherman Union Jack was all over the place. As store manager Suzy Waters greeted customers browsing through the clothing of gingham shirts, houndstooth skirts and savvy shoes, I felt like speaking in a British accent for the rest of the evening after taking some snap shots of the store’s space.
It was bloody fantastic!
Two ol’ chaps dressed up as bobbies gave patrons some cheeky greetings as they walked through the doors.
DJ Josh Madden spun some music on his turntables for people to dance their bums off.
Free pints were offered - but hopefully no one got too pissed.
The store’s mood was definitely the bees knees!
Party goers got to shop, eat and drink until they were happy and merry.
This bird’s name is Aly Espinoza, an employee of the store and dressed fancy for the occasion.
Blimey! I was so excited afterwards that I wanted me some fish n’ chips!
I know this isn’t really fashion-related (it could be Angela Chase was dressing all gothy grunge and emo before everyone else was), but this is news that I must share with the world.
