Alex + Chloe Jewelry Will Make You More Interesting

Although Alex + Chloe carry rings, bracelets, earrings, and clothing, I think the necklaces are where they stand out the best. Their designs have a hard edge thanks to the vintage and dark metal finish on many of the pendants, but it's softened by the quirkiness of the subject. Like a tooth, or a portrait of Kate Moss, or a bow.

I think any of these are versatile and interesting enough to work best with minimalist outfits.
The only problem is deciding which one to get.

The September Issue Is Going To Be Epic

Synopsis from Moviefone:
Vogue has been the most powerful and best-respected fashion magazine in the world for decades, and each year the journal devotes a fall issue to the designs and designers that the editors feel will be influential in the coming year. The September 2007 issue of Vogue, that year's annual Fall Fashion issue, became the biggest single issue in the magazine's long history, and filmmaker R.J. Cutler was given unprecedented access to Vogue's creative team as the issue was being prepared. The September Issue is a documentary which focuses on Vogue editor Anna Wintour as she visits the annual Fashion Week shows, accepts or dismisses the latest creations of the biggest names in fashion, works with the models, photographers, and writers who help bring her vision to the page, and labors with her staff to determine what the world's fashionistas will be wearing for the next 12 months. The September Issue received its world premiere at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, where it received an award for excellence in documentary cinematography. - Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

I Want A Tuxedo Jacket

This is very necessary. It can go with anything!

It's a gorgeous jacket by Paul and Joe, retailing for $775 at Net-A-Porter.com. It fits like a blazer, people, but it looks classy like a tux jacket.
It's a win-win.




And here's one by See by Chloé, retailing for $580 at Net-A-Porter.com. It has a boyfriend fit, which means it's a boxy jacket, which means it's not so versatile as the Paul and Joe classic fit jacket.



Speaking of classic fit, this Miu Miu one has a lot going for it, especially with the dramatic puff sleeves. They're exaggerated, yes, but they're not ridiculous on regular folks like Balmain. Retails $900 on Net-A-Porter.com!

Anna Wintour Is The Boss, OK?

She probably has the best job ever and she knows it. Although, I'm not clear if the connection between her and the "Nuclear Wintour" and nonstop "bitch" comments are necessary. She seems perfectly agreeable here.

But then again, who isn't in front of a camera?

Leighton Meester Does Not Deserve All The Shit Talk About Her Adorable Outfit At The MET Gala

Leighton Meester in Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 Ready to Wear.
This collection was opulent, and this girl got boat loads of shit for looking like a jester.

I think they can just shut the hell up because Meester pushed the envelope on a night where fashion is supposed to be showcased.

I mean, what other occasion could you get away with wearing an outfit like this and not be called fashion forward.

I loved this look. She looked like a doll, and played up that role.

You can see it in here vampy, cheeky face. She knows she's cute.
She's saying, "Suck it, critics, I look fantastic."


Wearing head to toe Luis Vuitton might have made co-chair Marc Jacobs second guess his lame flashy gold "dress" and matching turban he put on poor Kate Moss (also co-chair, you know, since it is themed "Model As Muse" and she is Kate Freaking Moss). PS for Kate: she needs to stop smoking STAT. She's looking rough.
