Jessica Simpson's W Mag Cover

Jessica Simpson will grace the cover of W magazine this April. I think she looks great - "unpop-starish" for once!! Her hair is more natural and she's lightened up on the make-up.

Kate Moss Doubles Her Earnings

Kate Moss definitely hasn't been hurt by her late night partying. She is expected to sign a $2.6 million contract with Calvin Klein. With this contract she will make twice as much as she did before her cocaine incident. There are also talks of renewing her relationship with Burberry.

French Connection - Fashion vs. Style Ad Campaign

French Connection's latest ad campaign is causing some controversy because of a fight scene that ends with a lesbian kiss. I think it's a waste of a good concept. I like the Fashion vs. Style debate but the lesbianish fight scene is a bit much. I have yet to see the spot on TV (I think it may have only aired in the UK) but you can see it for yourself on their website.

Fresh Spring Arrivals from Gap

Nicky Hilton's New Fashion Line

Nicky Hilton launched her second fashion line. Oh boy, can't wait to see it.

Mix it Up With Intermix

I just found out that a store I went to in NYC has a website - Intermix. The concept behind Intermix is mixing high and low end pieces. This is typically how I shop but you have to go to totally different stores to get the more expensive and cheaper items. Intermix is smart to put both in one place.
Intermix has several store locations in NY, Boston, Massachussetts, Florida, Georgia, Texas and DC. I would love to see them open a store in Chicago. And just because they have multiple locations doesn't mean they are a chain. They are the farthest thing from it. They have great clothes, shoes and accessories. I'm in love with this belted tunic by LaROK I found on their site.

Cute Dresses for Spring

Shopbob.com has a bunch of great casual dresses for spring. These are great basics for your spring/summer wardrope. They work well for different occassions. You can add a cardigan, heels and earrings to dress them up but they also look great with your favorite flip-flops.

Fashion Ignores the Olympics

While watching figure skating last night on TV, I couldn't help but thinking why some of their "costumes" so freaky looking?? I'm surprised more designers haven't stepped in to help out.

Reasons Why My Feet Can't Wait for Spring...

Cute Tops for Spring

The wind chill is well below zero today and I can't help but think of spring. Only a few more months! Here's a few cute tops I found while browsing at Anthropology. We can always wear layers for now, right?

No More "BoHo" for the Olsen Twins

The Olsen Twins modeled for a Badgley Mischka campaign. The ads will run in Vogue, Elle, InStyle and Vanity Fair. No trace of their "BoHo" style in these ads. They are glammed up and wearing full makeup.

Happy Valentine's Day

Whatever it means to you I hope had a fabulous Valentine's Day. In some ways it might be a "Hallmark" holiday but I think it is an important reminder to tell your family/friends/special someone that you love them. February is such a boring month anyway - we need something to celebrate.
I decided to write about the goofest/most entertaining V-Day gift I could find. It wasn't that hard to find something. I came across this site called Lovers Package. They sell candy pouches, bras and garters! And yes the candy is edible...

Ralph Lauren - New York Fashion Week

Okay, I have to admit I've been slacking and haven't had a lot of time to keep up with NY Fashion Week. I just checked out RL's collection and this year I absolutely love some of his stuff.

American Idol Wins a Grammy

Kelly Clarkson just won a Grammy for "Best Female Pop Performance". The is the first made-for-TV artist to win a Grammy. What is this world coming to? Why do I feel this somehow validates the exists of American Idol?? On other note...Kelly is also lined up for "worst dressed".

Vanity Fair's Uncovered Cover

Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley bare all for Vanity Fair's March cover. Tom Ford was not suppose to be included but he stepped in at the last minute when Rachel McAdams backed out. I don't know why but I feel like Tom Ford ruins the cover. I sure they could have found another female celebrity to step in.

Featured Site: The Fashion Pulse

I came across this cute shopping site called "The Fashion Pulse" thanks to DailyCandy Deals of the week. They have some great well-known, designer brands like C&C California and Page Preminum Denim along with some up and coming brands. The site also has lots of unique jewelry. Here is a great top by Sass & Bide I found while browsing the site.

Kate Moss..Hotter Than Ever

Trend: Shorts of Any Length

I love that shorts of all lengths are in. No matter what your body type you can find a flattering pair. These are available at Shopbob. Too bad it's too cold in Chicago to wear any of them!
