In my early post I mentioned how I loved Gaga's pinstripe ensemble she sports in the start of the Telephone video, well I have officially found a copycat for those of you who enjoy the look as much as I. Let's talk about the two trend in cooperated here, one we have the nautical horizontal stripes originally one of lady Chanel's signature looks navy stripes have been riding the style circuit for decades and now are back in full force. Next we have the shoulder accents, the structured shoulder detail creates a strong silhouette personally I think this looks best with short cropped hair and a person with a slight shoulders, a for a full figure this might not be your first choice in making a style statement. This shirt is available now at Urban Outtfitters for $32.

flavor of the week: saw-edged shoes

Call me crazy but I love the innovative, dangerous edge (no pun intended) of Camilla Skovgarrd's most recent collection of shoes. What's unique about these shoes is their saw-edge soles... I'm not sure if this is actually functional and helps with the movement but aren't they fantastic to look at, not to mention the impeccable scales and fire-lizard orange. This particular one is my absolute favorite but there are several more styles all with saw edges, including some booties and over the knee boots.

Camilla has known to be a choice shoemaker of Halle Berry and European royalty. Her shoes can be found only be found in select boutiques and Saks 5th in the United States, and I dare not look at the price tag on these pretty things.

However there is hope Intermix has a pair of Camilla Skovgarrd's coveted saw-edge noir mules currently on sale for $395, not exactly a steal but not exactly a fortune either. Still I'm tempted, how can you resist shoes that promise a night you'll never forget.

Are you Thelma or Louise?

Honestly I couldn't help myself but picture Thelma and Louise while watching Lady Gaga and Beyonce's new video for Telephone. After a long anticipated wait I was disappointed with A.) the fact that it was less of a video and more of a short drawn out awkward film, and B.) there was a supreme lack of dance scenes, which drew me in originally with Bad Romance. Not to say the video is a total flop... the fashion...TO DIE FOR! During bad romance, the use of McQueen's signature claw-like shoes left me drooling, and Gaga brought it once more in Telephone.

Now you can imagine how excited I was when Gaga's stylist, Nicola Formichetti, posted still pictures of the video on his blog. Favorite outfits were her pinstripe, shoulder embellished by JEAN CHARLES DE CASTELB, and the vintage ensemble THIERRY MUGLER created for the scene in which "Honey Bee" springs Gaga from the clink. Here are some of the pictures go to Formichetti's blog for more information and pictures!







On a side note this may be the most product placement infused music video since the old superman movies. Wonderbread, Polaroid, etc etc etc... oi vei.

Lipgloss for Skinny Jeans


It's so simple I have to wonder why someone didn't think of it before. Being a fairly social girl I like to go out, and I like no LOVE skinny jeans, I love how they make my legs look toned and tight, I love how the do the same for my bum, I love how perfectly they work with boots... what I do no love is constantly loosing my money and odds and ends because skinny jean pockets are basically a joke, until now! Hourglass Cosmetics has heard the cries of those young women who have (after stumbling home after a night of partying) found that their favorite lip gloss slipped out of their barely-there pockets. Now with this sleek podlike design Hourglass has designed a lipgloss that fits perfectly into your skinny jeans. Scoop it up for 26$ at Sephora.
