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!
Chill Factor
One of our favorite blogs catering to girls over a size 2 – Young, Fat and Fabulous has some cute coats for the chill that seems to be set on returning.
NBC10 has pictures up from fashion week all around the world, including a shows in New Dehli and Australia. Lilliana Vazquez has also compiled another list full of snuggly things we’re fans of. The list included cute coats for kids from J. Crew, a slipcover from Delia’s and a tweed dress from Banana Republic. Also fit for cold weather, NBC10 points the way to boots for chillier temperatures.
We’ve taken a look at the NBC10 App and it’s colorful, and chock full of lifestyle and entertainment news. Definitely worth the download, especially since it’s free.
Scheduled for the same day as game 7 (if we need it) in the World Series is an event at Lord and Taylor in NYC called Love at First Sight. The event will feature up and coming designers from Parsons The New School for Design.
The game is scheduled for 7:57pm, and this event is running from 6-9pm, but it would be possible to take a peek at Lord and Taylor and then head over to Grand Central Station – which is super close to Lord and Taylor – jump on the 6 train, arriving at Yankee Stadium in time for the game. Sometimes we spread ourselves thin over here at Philly Weekly, but it keeps things interesting.
Manicured Monday
This weekend, I tried Sally Hansen’s nail polish that claims to dry in 60 Seconds and I LOVED it. Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Color dries FAST and it’s near impossible to mess up when applying it. The brush expands so you only need ONE STROKE. I wanted my nails done but I can’t seem to find my money tree so this worked out perfectly.
Honey magazine has a great article on Solange, Beyonce’s younger sister. Even if you don’t read the article, check out her brazen style.
And, it’s time for everyone’s favorite, naked ladies! Ok, so maybe they are without clothes, but the focus of Glamour’s article is to celebrate these model’s curves rather than focus on the fact that they’re not wearing clothes. Along the same vein, the blog Young Fat and Fabulous has an exclusive interview with Fluvia Lacerda, a gorgeous plus-size model from Brazil.
Lauren Conrad was spotted wearing this cute number at the The West Hollywood launch of LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s. We’re just not sure if we believe that LC would ever rock any of the looks that are actually on the shelf.
Lastly, the Forever21 bags caught our eye recently. No, not the handbags but rather the yellow shopping bag they give you after a purchase is made. All of these bags seem to be printed with John 3:16. Not the actual bible verse but the refrence to the passage. Wikipedia offers this explanation:
“Forever 21 prints the biblical reference to John 3:16 at the bottom of their shopping bags due to the fervent biblical belief of the founder, Do-Won Chang.”
It seems like bloggers and reporters alike are upset, but what do you think?
