Marc Jacobs After Party- New York


Earlier this week Marc Jacobs hosted the after party for his collection show. Between Lil Kim and Michelle Rodriguez (people please pay attention to her prison ANKLET) could they not get any guests who hadn't done hard jail time? Or is that what's hip at the moment?

High Fashion Low Price...

The latest high-low fashion collaboration from Target is to go global. The diffusion collection from blossoming label Proenza Schouler, which was greeted by a frenzy of buying at New York's Opening Ceremony store last Thursday, will go on sale in hip Parisian boutique Colette from February 19.


This will be the first time Target apparel will have been sold outside the US.

Angry Anna

(Anna Wintour, André Leon Talley, at Carolina Herrera on Monday)

Andre- Don't look now Anna, but a pho-to-grapher is trying to get a shot of us- quickly fold your arms and scowl.

Anna- Yes Andre, after 20 years at Vogue, I think I know the drill!
If I scowled any harder I might actually crush my teeth and burst a blood vessel in my eye. Perhaps if you weren't wearing that HIDEOUS coat, they wouldn't be taking a photo in the first place.

Andre- Well I'm sorry Anna, but I've been invited to participate in the 'Vera Wang Celebrity Fashion Circus' as a lion tamer, and I didn't think I'd have time to change between shows.

Anna- All I hear is 'talk, talk, talk'. I simply don't have the energy, or patience, to ingest these words that continually seem to fall from your oversized lips. Just shut up and watch this show before I pour my Burberry colostomy bag all over your precious little 'lion taming' jacket!

Pretension has a new name

Starts with Sass, ends in Bide.


I don't know why Sarah-Jane Clarke and (especially) Heidi Middleton rub me up the wrong way. There's just something about these skinny bitches that makes my teeth hurt.

Perhaps it's because in this Q and A with Aussie Vogue she lists Kirsten Dunst as who she'd most like to dress.

"We love her free spirited nature and inner beauty"
says Heidi, as I try to keep down the vomit and unstoppable rage that is desperately trying to expel itself from my body!

Read on for more gems and insights from this little lady.

Luella does cute 80's dresses in NY!

Flouncy 80s dresses were dolled-up in bright, bold colours, from fuchsia and bright rose pink to aqua, deep purple and burnt mustard, while waisted silhouettes came either as bustiers with full ra-ra skirts or strapless and tulip-shaped.

Magazine Monday

In this regular Monday feature we will shine the youwishyoulookedthisgood.com spotlight on new issues of mags that have just come out. Today we feature Bust and Blackbook.
Magazines that start with the letter B are so
tres chic right now...

So is the whole 'issue' concept- 'The Love issue, The drug issue, The green issue, The issues issue.' Enough issues already! Gwen Stefani understands.
Naomi Watts scrubs up alright.

The native Australian, struggled for years in Hollywood before she got her break in Mulholland Drive.

Now she's a superstar on the cover of magazines proclaiming (completely out of context) that 'Life's too short!' I don't care how famous you are Naomi, get some context. It's terribly confusing for us mere mortals to have to decipher you're contextless comments.
I mean who does that? I know I couldn't get away with just randomly shouting contextless statements to anyone who'd listen. I'm sure I'd receive very stern looks if I walked up to the first person I saw on the street and proclaimed to their face, "Home is where the heart is!" or "Get with the program!"
It's very unnecessary Naomi. Very unnecessary.

Phoebe Philo

Rumour has it, that fashion darling Phoebe Philo may be launching her own line, almost exactly one year after leaving fashion house Chloe! Stay tuned peeps, this could be GOLD! I wonder what Stella would be thinking, by the way Stella will be in Australia to launch her collection in Melbourne in March- tres excitement!

If you've ever wondered who she thinks should be president and what's her favourite medicine, then you have WAY too much time on your hands, but you'll probably love this interview.
Read on.

New York Fashion Week- The Box


Above is a video of the most exclusive club in Manhattan, 'The Box'. Apparently this is the only place to be seen this New York fashion week. It's so friggen cool, the only sign that it exists is the 'shiny new' post office box out the front.

This is just the sort of place Georgie and I belong at. We won't go to any club you don't have to dig, crawl, swim or climb to get to. No one said being cool was easy...

Check out this interesting article on The Box and also the whole week.
