you know you love him, part deux

A video speaks more than a thousand words, or, something like that. The editing of the video is a bit cheesy (it's a "dance-off" party hosted by K-swiss, I guess it needs to have a little of that 90's vibe to it), but that can be completely ignored because all that matters is Ed Westwick's British charm and that slightly boyish smile... 'nuf said.

(oh. ps: notice the great song choices in the background? Some of my fav bands - Shonen Knife, She & Him)

New York Fashion Week: Day 3

The Wild Child: Diane von Furstenberg



Ms. Furstenberg channeled her inner wild child and took us back to her Studio 54 days by delivering a collection mixed and matched with prints, textures, and embellishments. Titled "Nomadic", the clothes aptly portray an eclectic thrown-together look that includes camouflage, animal prints, fringes, cozy knits, and pom pom hats (!). Who says we need to play safe in times of recession?


Most Refreshing: Preen



Preen's collection has taken me to a fashion fantasy land: clothes that are skin-baring and sexy but crafted in such a tasteful manner that they can almost be an art piece. The organically cut-out dresses, sheer blouses, and massive fur jackets may not be your everyday wardrobe items, but they offer what runway fashion is supposed to do: inspire.


Most Likely to be Worn in Gossip Girl: Tuleh



It was expected uptown sophistication at Bryan Bradley's show - tailored jackets, fitted pants, gorgeous cocktail dresses - but the designer also puts his spin this season by using clashing floral prints and metallic jacquard. The result? Very Blair Waldorf, and I won't be surprised if I see a few (if not, many) of the pieces appearing in next season's Gossip Girl.
