Bang Is Right


Marc Jacobs new fragrance for men is called Bang; and with an ad campaign like the one seen to right, I now know why. In a recent magazine article (I apologize for not remember which publication - these September issues have me in a tizzy!) Marc discuss the photo with Calvin Klein saying that he wanted to make an impact. Impact indeed! Marc has come a long way since the mid 90's when his body was nothing like the man's in this photo and he sported long hair and thick black glasses. While I do tend to love this man in a kilt, I feel like the cologne bottle covering his bits works in his favor.

Who Would Have Thought There Would Be A Kelly Osbourne Post?

Kelly Osbourne looked ravishingly in Tony Ward at Sunday's Emmys and a la Claire Danes, has truly never looked better. Miss Osbourne was also on the Red Carpet as an E! correspondent and had some interesting fashion insights. I don't know if it is the cute British accent or the fact she has such a fun personality, but I found myself agreeing with most everything she said.

Armani Prive Does It Again


I don't really know why, but I have never been a Claire Danes fan. Wait... let me rephrase, I have never been a Claire Danes fan until she showed up at the Emmys on Sunday wearing a gold Armani Prive that was more perfect than perfect should be. To be honest, I thought that dress on her was far more interesting than the show itself, which for me was a big fat dud. Claire, thank you for saving the day.

A Princess Remembered

Thirteen years ago today 36 year-old Princess Diana was killed in a brutal car accident. While the details of her death have remained mainly under wraps - or the real details/facts I should say - there is one thing that cannot be debated: Princes Diana was one of the classiest, most beautiful and stylish women we have known in this day and age. Let's all take some time today to remember life's precious moments and think about a woman lost at such a young age in such awful circumstances.

Is this Inception?


Marion Cotiallrd sports bleached and barely there eyebrows in September's Vogue, on news stands now. Thoughts? Questions? Comments? Concerns? Is she supporting this trend to attempt to ingrain in our minds what we should be doing with the hair above our eye sockets? It she taking a hint from her Summer blockbuster movie and attempting to change people's opinions/behaviors/beliefs?

I mean, is this better? Or shall we all be rocking the bushy-bushy eyebrows shown in the Fall 2010 runway shows? One thing I know for sure, eyebrows are meant to make a statement this season!

All Asses Are Not Created Equal

Now before you get upset about my use of a curse word, I want you to know the above is Levi's fall slogan. Launching their new Curve ID jeans, the San Francisco based denim company has done some market research and it seems women are not totally happy with the jean selection in most retailers. In addition to figuring out the average number of jeans a woman tries on before she likes one pair - ten/one-zero/diez - they have coined the phrase ‘find jeans jeans that fit us instead of having to fit into the jeans.' With this concept they created jeans that fit shape not size.

I - for one - am on board with the new fits Levi's has come up with. I am sure this surprises no one as not only do I think men should only be allowed to wear Levi's (have you not seen Brad on The Rachel Zoe Project in his tight 501's? My oh my!) but I own 4 pairs as well. Now, to most women 4 pairs of one brand is not a lot, but seeing as I only possess 10 pairs of jeans and 5 pairs of shorts, I think this is a lot. Oh, and before you judge with how few pairs of jeans I have, please check the "dresses" section of my closets (and yes that was meant to be plural. I have a very understanding significant other).

So embrace your rears ladies, Levi's sure has!

Buhbye Baby Phat

After 14 years Kimora Lee Simmons is leaving Baby Phat. The former Mrs. Russel Simmons said on E! that is was an amicable split, however, her Twitter account did not relay the same feelings. Either way I am sure Kimora will take her fan base to some new line and create a dynasty of sorts. I had the "pleasure" of working with Kimora and her fans at a personal appearance almost two years ago, and let me tell you, it was something I never though I would see in my life. Fans dressed head to toe in Baby Phat earrings, shoes, jumpsuits and some even had tattoos! And to think, this woman was once Karl Lagerfield's muse... How the world turns...
