Slim Jim
Our pants-less lady friend Gaga picked up a style award this past Monday from the Accessories Council. While she doesn’t look like a Slim Jim like she did during the MTV VMA’s, Gaga does still look pretty out there. Where does she come up with this stuff?
Gabi of Young Fat and Fabulous has styled illustrations. They’re like virtual models that are available on some shopping websites, and they’re cute.
Try not to stay mad at NY, because they held a Snuggie happy hour in the East Village, and it’s headed to Philly this weekend. Check out the video of how it went down in Gotham:
Lastly, Ralph Lauren is the official outfitter of the Vancouver Olympic Games! A little pricey, but nice designs!
Batty Brits
The New York Times dedicated this past weekend’s T – their style magazine to what they’re calling the Batty Brits. Included in the magazine are Boy George, and actress Samantha Morton. The interactive counterpart to the magazine should help you ease into your monday morning, or atleast keep you occupied for the next five minutes.
The chill in the air has made us crave boots. In Imelda Marcos amounts. Oprah gets it. The latest edition of O highlights the best of the boots available this fall, including the most comfortable, and the most affordable.
Self magazine is the lookout for underwear that won’t give you a wedgie at the gym, and Alyssa Milano has some cute stuff to wear while you cheer on the Phillies from her line created just for women, Touch.
Lastly, I Heart Daily discusses the Ralph Lauren model that was heavily photoshopped and allegedly fired, and features a Q & A with a professional retoucher. The Dove Campaign for Real Beauty video at the bottom is eye opening to say the least.
Over The Top
With Halloween right around the corner, we’re so glad that The Huffington Post has gathered pictures of inappropriate costumes. We’re not offended by much, but some of these costumes are a little surprising to say the least.
Glamour has their eye on Paris Hilton’s most recent up-do. What do you think?
Chanel seems to be into do it yourself manicures this season, with lines of green and now purple nail polish, as highlighted by Nylon Magazine.
Philadelphia Magazine posted a slideshow from Utley All-Star Animals, a night of shopping at Boyds which benefits the Pennsylvania SPCA.
Glamour highlighted these products back in February. On a dreary day like today when you might not want to wear wellies, we’re thinking they’re not such a bad idea. First off there are heel covers from Sole Mates that cover your heels, to prevent you from sinking into the grass.
According to their website, “The patented design of the SoleMates High Heeler™ is mechanically engineered to fit snugly on most heels and yet the flexible material grips securely without damaging the heel or compromising the aesthetics of the shoe.” Since we sometimes sink into the grass, we’re willing to give these babies a try.
Also highlighted in Glamour were Swims galoshes which are the chicest rain shoes we’ve ever seen. The rest of their line can be found on the swims website, which has a gorgeous layout and even tells you how many rain days cities from around the world have. While Philly isn’t included, New York is with 95 days of rain a year! It’s a far cry from Las Vegas with 18 rain days a year. Geeze.
Lastly, a model from the Ralph Lauren campaign was allegedly fired for weighing in at 120 pounds. At 5′10″ apparently that’s too much. Perhaps her firing paired with attention being paid to plus size models will lead to changes in the fashion industry?
