Soooooooooooo?
What did you all think?
Was there enough drama and cattiness for you? Do you love that a gossip blog is the main fodder of a hot T.V. show? How great is the styling?
What about the cameos? Bendel's much? Love that this is filmed here in NYC!
Love it!!!
P.S. How hot did S look in that gold dress. Very Sienna.
P.P.S. To see a good portion of the show, check in here.

Continuing to continue on in the hoopla surrounding celebrity fashion lines, wanted to let you know that MK and Ashley's line "The Row" is now available online from the always cutting-edge chic British establishment Browns. Previously the line was available only at Barneys NYC and Maxfields in LA.
If you live in NYC and haven't checked out the collection in person yet, do! It is a wonderful line, with great basics to build into your wardrobe. The pieces are a bit pricey so beware, but they are definitely quality items worth investing in. Selma Blair is already a fan and we all know she is the queen of cool when it comes to style!
Oh, and for the more budget conscious cats they have a new lower price-bracket line set to launch this fall aptly named Elizabeth and James (after their other lesser known sibs). That line will be available at Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus and Intermix.
One of their awe-inspiring T's that are being praised for their couture style cling and unbelievable drape (due to the infamous "single seam"). Get it here.
Oh and apologies again for the scattered and infrequent posting. I am off in far-far-away lands where connections to the Internet are rare, inconsistent and definitely not high-speed. In the meantime enjoy catching up on old posts.
Ciao Dahlings...

OK, um maybe I've been in a closet somewhere, but when I stumbled upon this resource for a complete break-down of every outift worn on SATC, I was totally excited (and surprised). What a great idea, and I know several of you that have seen every episode like 10 times who may not even have to re-watch to know which outfits these are (you know who you are.....).
Outfits are broken down to the last detail. Select a season, then an episode and then voila, each outfit as worn in each scene is described in detail, with color and designer!
Cool!
P.S.
I watched Georgia Rule today. What else to do in the Montreal rain? (Have I mentioned its been raining ALL week?) Anyway: unlike some who have dissed LaLohan and the movie, I loved it. Besides Lindsay's wonderfully covetable wardrobe (amazing skinny jeans, flow-y white tops, great wedges, to die-for sunglasses, etc)...I was drooling half the movie...I think it was a good performance....and a good movie. I really enjoyed it. Judge for yourself. The perfect opportunity? Well, the 93 degree weather I left behind in NYC or the cold dreary rain of Montreal!
Escape to the movies. Covet Lindsay's clothes.
Jess in NYC this week.
Yay. We like you better blonde Jess.
Again in NYC. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this looks like the interior of "What Comes Around Goes Around' in Soho...a great place for vintage if you don't want to search yourself and your willing to pay premium dollar (said with a tad sarcastic tone).

Mary-Kate in LA yesterday with beau Max.
Love the long scarf look. Adore the faded black skinnies..I think they have zippers, which is doubly cool (and also makes them possible to get on, while still giving you the max thinness at the ankle!). Love aviator Ray-Bans (these are the smaller frame version) but not such a fan of the blue/purple tinted lens... and speaking of I have a few pairs of Ray Ban Wayfarers to feature on Steal my Clothes! Also, personally, have never been a huge fan of the upper arm cuff...I just think its uncomfortable and looks weird. She's still working the strappy sandal/heels and Prada fringe purse. Me: not so much buying into the fringe trend...its never been much my style, looks cute on her though.
This week in LA and NYC, The Olsen's working the belt. Love that little skirt that Ashley is wearing, similar look to the skirt she was rocking a few weeks ago. In fact, maybe it is the same one...that would be very Ashley!
For some great wide statement belts see the post I did earlier in the year. And if your feeling thrifty check out this belt from Forever 21, its very similar to one I got in London last year from Topshop, which has turned out to be indispensable (I throw it onto dresses, shirts, whatever, totally takes the outfit to a new level). And at a $5.80 price-point, how can you go wrong?
Gosh, so much to talk about. Last nights MET Costume Institute Gala....and the dresses!!! And then coming up tomorrow, Kate Moss at Barney's. OMG, it's too much. Starting today there is an ongoing witty commentary by Simon Doonan on the Barneys website. An excerpt below:
"Is she here yet? Is she bringing Pete? Is she going to clamber into the window like she did at the UK launch?...Can I come to the Party and bring my extended family? Oy Veh!!!!!
I have been at Barneys for twenty years and nothing-no store event or opening-has rivaled the insane, frenzied, build-up to the arrival of Kate and her Topshop line. I would put it right up there with the Invasion of the Faukland Islands, and the first episode of AbFab, or at least the launch of the DVD of Abfab."
Geez people, have we forgotten about the other huge, major Brit on the scene, hello: The Queen!!!
Right but anyway, yes back to important things like Topshop. Argh, I can't believe I am actually willingly going to subject myself to the madness that will be tomorrow.
And, my fave five pics from last nights gala:
Cam D. Love how she always contrast colors. Love the turquoise accents with the bright fuchsia.
Scarlett Johanson
Jessica Stam
Mary Kate Olsen
Ashley Olsen
Liv Tyler
And some of the more interesting and creative dresses:
Margherita Missoni
NY Socialites Tinsley Mortimer and Zani Gugelman
Kirsten Dunst
and Miss Anna herself.
TaTa dahlings, have to run.

Since writing about the newly emerging return of the High-Waist, we have seen the topic covered everywhere from Access Hollywood to your neighborhood blog. Even TMZ, usually focusing primarily on gossip, has zoomed in on the trend!! Today they posted a story on stars who are fans of new High-Waist Jeans. Slow gossip day?
P.S.
To see the full range of posts we have written showcasing and discussing the High-Waist trend simply click on "High-Waist" below in the labels!
Jessica Simpson this past weekend in Hollywood, dinner with Ken Paves. Jess is looking soooo much better than recent pics in the last few weeks. Not sure I like the dress that much, but her hair looks great, and the smoky eyes and pinky/pale lipstick are a total hit. The color seems to be a bit lighter than the darker shades we were seeing last month and it really brightens up her whole look. Yay Jess, keep it UP!!

Ashley yesterday in Beverley Hills. Cute sandal/heels.
Great shot of the new heels.
Still sporting the Givenchy 'Nightingale' Bag. Gotta love Ashley for that consistency, she has said that she finds a bag she loves and wears it to death, then moves on to a new one...doing that a few times a year.
I have lots of beautiful bags but it seems most of the time I go out the door with my LV Speedy 40, its huge (yes I picked the enormous size that some people don't even know exists, as I said before, for me: bigger=better), water resistant, practical and beautiful, plus I figure it has the least chance of getting stolen, with all the fakes in NYC, I assume those not really in the know would figure it was fake anyway and not bother!
Tell me do you use the same bag daily or switch it up often?
Ashley in Soho this past Saturday. Looks like she was making her usual Wolford run. I know I've mentioned Wolford's a million times before...but if you want a nice luxury fix for under a 100$, maybe even 50$ (depending on the style) then picking up a gorgeous pair of Wolford tights is a must. I would also suggest Fogal, another one of my favourites.
The return of the plaid shirt. Different Plaid shirt, same theme. Love this look.
MK last week in LA. Funny I just bought a great pair of red leopard-print vintage 80's skinny jeans just like the pattern she's holding (a scarf I believe...). Love, love the shoes, tho I couldn't wear them myself without falling over!!
These are so cute, maybe pants, maybe lighter-weight jeans? The pockets appear to have ruched stitching. Love it!
