Rachael Weisz, at the new Bourne premiere. All I need to say is....yes. Okay, if I'm honest, the shoes are a little weird, but who's looking at the shoes? Hollywood, this is how you do it....just like Rachael Weisz. You look beautiful, then you disappear for a while, then you come back looking beautiful, then you disappear for a while, then you come back looking beautiful.

Maurizio Anzeri

I'm gobsmacked. We're talking first-time-seeing-Titanic, while-listening-to-Miseducation-of-Lauren-Hill, after-getting-asked-out-by-a-dreamboat, tasting-coffee-with-cream-and-sugar-for-the-first-time gobsmacked. Yeah...that's how this feels. It's the work of Maurizio Anzeri, and it's absolute genius.

Good Marks

Ladies, I want you to go and look in a mirror, right now. Search your face. Find that mole! Yes, it's the one that you've been trying to cover up for the past 2 decades. It's time to let it breathe again! Beauty marks are back with a vengeance. If you happen to be one of those ladies with flawless skin, then I'm afraid you're going to have to sit this one out. Shhhhh shhhhh. I know. It's okay. Perfect skin will come back into style, I promise.




Or I guess you can just paste one on, like Chanel does. Okay, perfect skin, looks like you're back in the game.

Purple. You know....as in The Color.

Purple...the new Tangerine? Probably. And I'm sure there's a fancy name for this particular shade of purple. It's probably something like Dusty Plum, Midnight Bruise, or something super fancy, like Moramorado. Well, whatever the hell it is, it's hot. Get it!

The Daily Awesome



So, it's official. Kate Moss is the face of New York uber cool brand, Rag & Bone. The two London designers have selection the quintessential British model and why wouldn't they? She represents the best of what the UK has to offer, where style and beauty are concerned. I think she looks incredible in these first shots that have been released. I can hardly wait to see what else they come up with.

For Your Consideration: J.Crew

Look at the runways for fall. Have you seen them? You'll see some very, very strong trends that will be hitting the streets this year. If you are a little squeamish, when it comes to bold trends, then you may consider J.Crew's fall 2012. It's got a little bit of everything. It's got the "matchy-matchy" trend, the leather/biker trend, "the power clash", and more. The benefit of J.Crew, however, is that the trends are toned down a little, so they are a little more accessible. Ugh, was that boring? Did I just put you to sleep? I just sounded like freaking Good Morning America. Aaaaaanyway, these looks are great.

The Daily Effing Awesome

I started screaming, the moment I saw this collection. And it wasn't one of those "what the hell were you thinking, Paz De La Huerta?!?!" kind of screams. It was one of those "Hey kids, we're taking you to mother effing Disney Land, buying you a puppy, and letting you skip school for 3 months!" kind of screams. It's Thome Browne's Spring 2013 collection. (Warning-- If you actually wear any of these things, you will look like a crazy person.)

Tom Hardy (star of the new Batman movie) stepped out in London yesterday looking so well put-together in this great suit with a wicked trench. Look past the terribly unattractive beard and long hair and this look is pretty much on-point. The only thing that confuses me is why he's wearing gloves in summer? I mean, it's not the best weather in London, right now, but, it's definitely not winter-warmers weather.  Other than that, I love this look.

For the love of Joseph

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is the cover star of the new GQ issue and, I have to give him props. He looks awesome. Now, I know its the work of a great stylist and not so much his own doing but, his own style is pretty darn awesome so, I'm sure he had a hand on what he wore on this shoot. Its slick, is classic and it's cool. Learn the lesson, hipsters. This is style done well.

American Apparel...Make It Stop.

You know that feeling you get when you go to your friend's house for dinner, and they lecture you about the importance of local produce? Yeah...and they talk about how global economies are destroying local independence, and are actually changing the production and consumption of food? And then they tell you about their new project, to grow and harvest their own fruits and vegetables? Then, an hour later, after scolding you for buying your produce at a chain supermarket, they bring out a platter of misshapen, half rotten, worm-infested food, and say "Here, now eat this. See? Isn't this so much better than all of that imported, chemically enhanced, genetically modified trash that you buy in your supermarkets? We grew this food in our very own yard. Taste the difference." Well, that's the feeling I get when I see American Apparel.

Perfect, Perfect, Perfect


Honestly, I can't say enough about how awesome this is. I adore Marion Cotillard and I think her style is killer. I mean, full on, drop dead, killer. This is freakin' why. Head to toe, this is perfection. The barely-there bodice. The shape of the skirts. The beautiful heels and the slightly 'off' red clutch. And, then that belt. That awesome belt. Seriously, one of the best looks that I've seen in ages. I love it.

The ladies of Downton Abbey are to feature in this months Love magazine and, I can hardly wait to get my hands on a copy of the mag, if these few images are anything to go by. They all look stunning, as always but, Laura Carmichael looks better than ever. I love the styling on this shoot. Not, I just have to waut a few days to see what else the stylists have come up with.
