"The girl who eats her feelings" is a new trend-setting clique to emulate, says W magazine's recent piece on back-to-school style. If they were trying to describe the trend of wearing "curve-enhancing dresses worn with plenty of attitude," why would they call that dressing like "the girl who eats her feelings"? That's just ... being curvy.
There's leggings. There's jeggings. So what the hell are "treggings"? It belies my maturity level when my first guess was "triceratops leggings." But no, treggings are a cross between leggings and trousers. A hybrid, if you will. Treggings are formfitting from the thighs to the legs, but are more structured on top and often have a zipper. Personally I would just call these "tight pants," but what do I know?
Anyone else think the cutesy names for various types of leggings are getting silly? [FabSugar]
When it comes to working out, you'll usually find me in a large random T-shirt and a pair of leggings that aren't nice enough to really wear as an outfit. But now, as the summer is coming to an end, I've promised myself to keep up with my exercise. It's funny how being excited about a new garment or outfit can motivate us to get up and do something. With that and my promise in mind, I went searching for cute and affordable workout wear. Check out what I found, after the jump.
Sometimes I think Jezebel is a little too anal in their war on Photoshop (for example, I disagree that Rolling Stone gave the women of "Mad Men" "brand new torsos"); however, sometimes the blog hunts down some truly gross examples of retouching gone wrong. Like this photo from Bloomingdales.com of a model wearing a Diane Von Furstenberg dress which, apparently, is the height of fashion for women with bizarrely dislocated elbows. Yikes! [Jezebel]
If you've tried Jessica Simpson's shoes, then you've probably fallen in love with them. Now, Jessica, who pretty much exemplifies modern American style with her love of denim and rock T-shirts, is bringing jeans to the stylish woman on a budget. Jessica Simpson Jeanswear, a denim-inspired line that includes jeans and woven and knit tops, has launched on JessicaSimpsonCollection.com. But before you run out and purchase these ultra comfortable, affordable, and chic jeans (I have a pair that fits like a glove), why not hear from Jessica, herself, about the new line, the fall must-haves, and making denim work at work? Keep reading for an exclusive Q&A with Jessica ...
The speculation and rumors have been confirmed. Lanvin will indeed be designing a collection for H&M, due in stores November 23. Although H&M wasn't planning on disclosing the answers to their mysterious designer interview videos, the interwebs went nuts after guessing that one video featured Lanvin designer Alber Elbaz, so the retailer released a clip revealing Elbaz's face. In the video, the he says, "When H&M approached us to do this collaboration, they asked if I could actually translate the dream that we created at Lanvin to a bigger audience. It wasn't a project about a dress for less ... I loved the idea that H&M is going luxury rather than Lanvin is going public." Interesting. Does that mean we can expect price points to be higher than normal for H&M?
Who knew Kelly Osbourne had such deep philosophical ties to Maoism, the teachings of Chinese communist leader Mao Zedong?
Oh, she was just performing with the Pussycat Dolls at L.A.'s Viper Room? Throw her on a pile of rich kids wearing Che Guevara shirts. [Los Angeles, 9/1/10]
