T LOungeDarlings, as Fashion Week winds down to a close, it’s time to leave the real world of fashion behind and indulge a little in the slightly trashy reality TV version of it. SOS Rooftop Lounge & Bar, Bali And after the exhausting week we’ve head, we’re read to imaginary-fly... Michael Kors Spring 2012 CollectionFor spring, Michael Kors wants to take us all on safari. And if we get to wear clothes like this, we might even be willing to put up with the snakes and the bugs the size of our iPhones. It’s safari filtered through a luxury lens. Gorgeous, rich, earthy shades of brown and green,... WERQ: Christina Ricci in J. CrewChristina! Hey, girl! Christina Ricci attends Nylon Magazine cover dinner in New York City in a J. Crew dress. We just wanted to tell you that we still kind of hate that cover and we’ll always maintain that you shouldn’t wear your hair back, but that doesn’t matter because... Oscar de la Renta Spring 2012 CollectionDarlings, you know how we always say “Here’s your pretty for the day?” Well, here’s your pretty for the month.

Donna Karan Spring 2012 CollectionThe notes for this show informed us that Donna Karan took her inspiration for this collection from her travels to Haiti, which she interpreted in her own way, offering up tribal-inspired prints, colors, and jewelry with an urban, modern twist. We love the natural, earthy tones of this... WERQ: Lea Michele in J. MendelLea usually poses all the time looking like her inner monologue is something along the lines of, well… “WERQ it, girl!” Still, despite the fact that she looks like she’s congratulating herself all the time, we feel the need to concur just this once. Lea Michele... Perry Ellis Spring 2012 Menswear CollectionThank God for the menswear shows. We will always be the type of queen who can wax rhapsodic about a dramatic gown stomping down a runway, but sometimes, a boy just needs to look at cute boys in boy clothes. Especially if a boy (or boys) covets practically every piece those cute boys are... In or Out: Christina Hendricks in Vivienne WestwoodOh, Miss Christina. Just what are we going to do with you? Christina Hendricks at the New York premiere of “I Don’t Know How She Does It” in a Vivienne Westwood gown. It’s a great color on her. We like the drape in the bodice and the upper part of the skirt. But that... New York Fashion Week Spring 2012 Front Row – Part 2Darlings, come gawk at celebrities with us. Courtney Love at Alexander Wang Spring 2012 Show That’s actually a pretty sharp look.

Miss Botswana beats them with her big Botswanan shovel.” Miss Brazil... Nicole Miller Spring 2012 CollectionWhat an experience the Nicole Miller show was. Not only did we get to sit in the front row, thanks to a concerted effort to support fashion bloggers, but we got to go backstage and meet Nicole herself and tell her what we think. And what did we think? We were blown away. When you think of... HP Project Runway Designer ReunionDarlings, a fabulous time was had by all at the HP Project Runway Designer Reunion at the Empire Hotel in New York City. How do we know? Well, thanks to our fabulous new besties at NotMartha, we got invited, but because the Monique Lhuillier show across the street at Lincoln Center ran so... Christian Siriano Spring 2012 CollectionWe think it’s fair to say that we’ve slung our share of criticism Christian’s way, but for the first time, we have nothing but praise for him. We feel that this collection represents a major step forward for him as a designer. It’s the most modern and chic collection... Miss Universe 2011 National Costumes, Part OneHit it, hos!

My skirt represents our love for tacky fabrics!” Miss Bahamas “Quick! Vote for me before I grow my beak and... In or Out: Salma Hayek in Alexander McQueenWe’re not sure we’ve ever featured two red carpet posts in a row featuring looks from the same designer, but we thought this was yet another graphic illustration of the Number One T Lo Fashion Maxim: Girl, That Is NOT Your Dress. Salma Hayek attends the premiere of... WERQ: Leighton Meester in Alexander McQueenAll right, we admit up front that this look isn’t perfect: Leighton Meester attends the premiere “The Oranges” during the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival in an Alexander McQueen dress. Alexander McQueen Resort 2012 Collection/Model: Josefien Rodermans But... DKNY Spring 2012 CollectionOpening the doors of the venue to provide the quintessentially New York backdrop of a yellow cab bearing a DKNY logo and closing the show with “American Woman” playing, the DKNY show, held on the afternoon of September 11th, was equal parts NYC defiance and patriotism. “We... |
