Hot Briton of the week

James Jagger

Mick Jagger's son

Jade & James Jagger

After the premiere of his play

In "Lone Star"

The son of the Rolling Stone debuted his acting career recently... his role apparently caused some controversy when his play required him to smoke in the King's Head theatre in Islington, North London because it was "vital to the artistic value of the play". Smoking's banned there now...God what's become of the world?

He played a Texan village idiot in a play called "Lone Star" and is an expert in a variety of different US dialects and a number of accents from around the world. Perhaps we'll be seeing more of this little cutie soon.

Very hot even while sweaty after the premiere of his play. :DDD

LOL!

According to WWD.com some people are offended by the new Dolce & Gabbana advertising campaign shot by Steven Klein because it objectifies men. I hope no one's delicate psyche is ruined by this. I mean men have been through a lot. The men's rights movement and all.

ok ok i'll stop haha. But i think people need to stand back sometimes and realize that these kinds images are meant to provoke and meant to stir up controversy. That's what art is. how would we like it if all our ads looked like this:

(god I wish candy was still 5 cents)

Our brains would collapse in on themselves from lack of stimulation.

...And now for some fashion news

Preen F/W 2007/2008

Preen the British label I loved last season for its bright colours (pink!) and fold-happy designs is designing for Topshop!! It debuts around the time of London Fashion week. I'm always looking at the topshop website but everything cool is either out of stock or double the price than I thought it was (it's in pounds) but maybe if I catch this one early enough I can snag something cool.

There is something fundamentally wrong with our culture

Senator Craig: Doughy old man

Idaho Senator: I am not gay!

Ok.. dude... this is you're third time being cited for doing something that would be classified as "homosexual activity"... 1982: accused of having sex with underaged male, last year: a male blogger said that he'd had sex with u in Union Station in DC, and this year in an airport bathroom? and you pleaded guilty?? If you were openly gay you wouldnt have to go all psycho and weird to get pleasure... is our country so homophobic that old dudes have to have anonymous sex in bathrooms? maybe you're creepy and you would've done it anyway but i don't think so... and now you're desperately trying to "clear your name". Why don't you do something good with ur new label like gay activism instead of viciously disputing your sexuality as if it were a bad thing. What's a bad thing is you in a bathroom touching a man's foot from under the stall...that's just sad and a little bit sick... you could get AIDS asshole!
Though it's true that Idaho probably isn't the best state to be a gay politician.
but come on homie, embrace your sexuality whether you be gay or bisexual or whatever... Because honestly, you're never gonna get re-elected.
Invest your wealth in a move to New York or San Francisco and do some bloody good with your life. Cus right now you're looking like a bit of a pervert.

Get Well Soon!

Britney and the Mind Freak??

Ok I know this news is like so two days ago but I just have to add my 2 cents here

Sometimes at night I'll find myself eagerly watching MindFreak and Miami (or is it LA Ink now?) Ink which are on at about the same time...Criss Angel seems like a nice enough guy albeit in a somewhat dangerous profession (which makes him dangerously sexy), so if Britney ends up seriously dating him (which i doubt) i wouldnt be too troubled.

Then again: BRItney! what are u doing?!?! You're in the middle of a custody battle and your ability as a mother is being called into question... just suck it up and try NOT to be seen with a different man 5 nights in a row.. is it that hard?? oh and did i mention that he's friends with ur embittered ex???

Sienna for Pepe

Sienna Miller and a very steamy latin man who i'll have to look up are in new ads for Pepe jeans... the ads feature the pair in black and white surrounded by water... very hot

I had a day off so i wasted money

today i had a very fun time (window)shopping with mon amie kaitie... and i forgot my real camera so the cell phone camera will have to suffice.

Baby Kicks... so cute

unnaturally muscular mannequins

leopard Louboutins... moist panty-worthy

Manolos!!!! I think by this time the salesladies were giving each other looks behind my back.

zara...european chic

cool military jacket

the Nine West shoes i'm gonna get in indigo.

Damn the Congolese have good taste

I'm probably really behind the times with this but what the hell...

I just watched Rush Hour 3 the other night and it was vacantly amusing..but someone caught my eye... Noémie Lenoir... i faintly recognized her from underwear ads a while back. So being the curious one i am i looked her up on wikipedia and turns out she's married to naturalized French footballer Claude Makélélé. When I mentioned this to my dad, he started talking animatedly about his home in Congo like he does. Turns out his last name means something akin to "noise" when someone talks a lot. All that aside i thought i'd just share because she's beautiful and everyone loves a beautiful woman and she's gorgeous even as a baldie.

I'm Falllllin!

Fall is my favourite season cus i get to layer and wear light jackets and wear shoes and jeans and three piece suits (i wish) and of course fashion weeks in september!!!!...here are my 5 essentials de l'automne:

1. My SKINNY JEANS!!!: High waisted and otherwise... just like a few years ago i was scared to wear skinny jeans now i'm never going back to flared pants (who knows) even the high-waisted 70's look.. but to each her own. These are my favourite right now:

2. My vintage pumps: I'm all for the 80's resurge right now especially in the shoe department so I'm spending my hard-earned money on cool and colourful pumps for fall. These are the newest addition to mon wardrobe (if i had money the 2nd pic would be miiiine Christian Louboutin slingback platforms that I saw in a store):

3. Arm accesories: Everyone needs a good purse and I have a notorious reputation for having horrible handbags. I hope to remedy this situation with this vintage Lanvin purse from the 70s (and for those of u with Moooolah.. check this classic yet totally modern purse from the king of handbags Marc Jacobs):

4. Sunglasses!: I'm a wayfarer chick so i'm getting all different colours including these vintage aqua-coloured ones:

5. and last but not least--THE JACKETS!!!: I'm into crazy jackets this fall in combination with simple skinny jeans and perhaps some heels. If I were a little more compensated and sophisticated i'd wear this tailored jacket Balenciaga by Nicolas Ghesquiere but since i'm crazy and relatively poor these r my new favourite things... i'm still lacking a leather motorcycle jacket :( :

Now you can smell like her

Kate Moss is launching a new perfume simply called "Kate." I'm not gonna pretend like i understand what the descriptions of perfumes mean but basically it's floral, orange, and sophisticated (?). It's due in Asia and Europe in September and costs between 18 and 50 euros depending on the amount ur getting. I gotta cop me some of that. Maybe i can spray it on my pillowcase and pretend we're having a sleepover. I'm kidding but not really.

It's a Grand World

pop mag; agyness deyn and katie grand

So recently i've been hearing a lot about this woman Katie Grand who's a stylist and founder of the venerable Pop Magazine which is published twice yearly (tres exclusif). The UK magazine has had icons such as Madonna and Kate Moss (well she's an icon to me) on the cover. She's a powerhouse in the fashion world and according to the London Evening Standard "What Katie does and Katie says is as influential as it gets." Katie has also styled for some of the biggest names in the industry:

...exactly. Now she's the creative director for Mulberry and she's planning on taking the label in a more "fashion-oriented direction." Lovely. She has more vintage designer clothes than you can imagine (Comme des garçons, Alaïa, Chanel, Balenciaga, etc.)
She also used to date Giles Deacon (whom she is still close friends with) at Central St. Martins and is friends with Luella Bartley. The first cover of Pop Magazine was her friends Luella, Stella Mcartney, Phoebe Philo, and Liberty Ross posing as pole dancers... that's power.

Hot Briton of the week

Charlie Cox




Every movie leaves me with some kind of residual feeling for about 2-3 hours afterwards. For example after Superbad I felt abrasive and rude. But after Stardust I felt elated and royal... there was no doubt that my prince would come galloping into my life(on horseback or vespa)... and that he would be British and tall and casually charming...and his name might be Charlie Cox?


that didn't end up happening but the movie was great and feel-good.
apparently he was in Merchant of Venice though I don't remember seeing him


he's handsome in a charismatic, fun kind of way.


god i need to shut up... go see for yourself Stardust is lovely.

MILF!!!

wooahh teri... looking good mama. a desperate housewife no longer!!

Zac Posen wants to play

Zac Posen (the brilliant, the magnificent) has a new toy. He designed a Barbie and Ken dollset... it's based on himself and his own studio and Barbie is based on his muse/sister, Alexandra. The pleating on Barbie's dress reminds me of Zac's lifesize designs, and it also brings me back to a nostalgic time when all i wanted were barbie's clothes and they would only fit my middle finger. Screw u mattel...but i still wanna play.

Oh and did I mention that it costs $300 at FAO Schwartz?

New Faces

Keira Vs. Kate

Keira Knightley is the new face of coco mademoiselle which was-until someone i won't mention decided to buy it though i still love her-my fave perfume... I do miss Kate though she looks deliciously Coco Chanel with those pearls hanging down her back. Not to mention i have a serious, extremely serious woman-crush on her. but keira's great as well.

Samsonite is launching a new label called "Fashionaire" which is supposed to be based on vintage luggage design (see flower monogram design). Christina Ricci is the woman to represent it. I used to not really be into the whole.. pale faced christina ricci thing but now i really appreciate her unique fashion taste and so on and so on. Plus she was so good in Black Snake Moan.
