- Even when playing field hockey in sneakers and a hoodie, Kate Middleton still manages to look better than most of us on our best day. And if that’s not a quality you want in a future queen, I don’t know what is. [Fashionista]

- Snooki blatantly knocked off an Alexander McQueen clutch for her new line of bags. To retaliate, Sarah Burton plans to sleep with all of Jersey. One cheap bag deserves another. [Refinery29]

- Barneys fashion director Amanda Brooks and British Harper’s Bazaar‘s editrix Lucy Yeomans both quit their respective jobs. Both will be rumored to take over Dior. [The Cut, The Cut]

- Kate Moss will reportedly make a cameo on Absolutely Fabulous where she will be having a “giggle at her own expense.” God, where do you start, Jennifer Saunders? And then, how can you possibly stop? [Modelinia]

- Apparently yesterday was “Gossip Girl Day” in New York. Which explains why everyone was making half-assed literary references and plotting against everyone in Brooklyn. [Gawker]

- Parisian couturier Jean Luc Amsler dug up Jerry Hall from whatever velvet-lined crypt she’s been sleeping in and paraded her down his catwalk. [Telegraph]

- Céline has opened their first freestanding boutique in New York. So far, no Kanye West sightings. [Racked]

- She. Died. Rachel Zoe dressed up like a vampire for LOVE Magazine. Or maybe someone just caught her without a stitch of makeup. Either way, terrifying/fabulous. [Stylecaster]

- Go behind the scenes of Alexis Bittar‘s new campaign starring the Absolutely Fabulous Edina Monsoon and Patsy Stone, aka the divine Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley.

- “You think gay people love Gaga? You should hear when a Robyn song comes on at a gay bar. Then it is fucking over.” Truer words have never been spoken. I’ve burned down several dancefloors to “Dancing On My Own” and have been practicing my backwards roll for “Call Your Girlfriend.” These and other alleged truths, courtesy of “The Secrets Gay Men Don’t Want Straight People to Know.” [Gawker]

- Fellow Greendale fans, rejoice! Community is returning after all. However, a fourth season is still up in the air. Because god knows we need more Whitney in our lives. [E!]

- Absolutely Fabulous finally returns this Sunday on the BBC. Get excited, Sweetie Dahling. [Vogue]

- Brad Goreski and Rachel Zoe still aren’t on great terms it seems, despite Brad’s olive branch to the Baby Skyler. Zoe made it perfectly clear, via a retweet that has since disappeared (so SUPER perfectly clear) that she wants It’s a Brad, Brad World to fall on its bespectacled face. [WWD]

- In addition to all things crotchless, American Apparel is now specializing in vintage scarves, including Yves Saint Laurent, Calvin Klein and Kenzo. [Racked]

- Bridesmaids is snatching up trophies and nominations left and right, and while it seem ripe for a sequel, star and writer Kristen Wiig is not interested.

- Sweetie darling! Now that Absolutely Fabulous is coming back, what will Patsy and Edie wear? Luckily, someone’s already on that. [Racked]

- Rumor has it Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty may be headed over the pond. [Hint Magazine]

The Official Programme (you know it’s official due to the British spelling) bearing the Windsor royal crest:

Which features the couple’s Official Photograph by Vogue staple, Mario Testino:

Okay, I’m just going to say it, this is adorable as all get out but Prince Will looks like someone is literally pulling that smile from deep within his anal cavity. That’s the look of love.

The programme also has the couple’s heartfelt thanks to everyone who’s been obsessed with them for the past few months. You’re welcome:

Note Catherine’s got that engagement ring in plain sight. Someone’s a pro.

The Royal Wedding Procession, in which we learn that said engagement ring belonged to William’s mother, Princess Diana and is a blue sapphire surrounded by a cluster of 14 diamonds worth over $400,000…you know, a cute little trinket:

Note that tomorrow is an official holiday for Brits, and since I occasionally lapse into a false British accent whenever I watch Absolutely Fabulous, I’m going to assume that that holiday is applicable to me as well.

The Royal Seating Chart:

I’m assuming the David and Victoria Beckham will be in the North Transept as friends of Will and Kate. Hopefully Kanye West will also be there– Ye is one of Will’s favorite artists and he’s rumored to be an unofficial guest. If West is there, expect him to be sitting next to the Queen as she’d have it no other way…and by “she” I clearly mean Kanye.

Easing on down the Royal Road:

Thousands will line the street as Will and Kate make their way from Buckingham Palace to their ultimate doom joy at Westminster Abbey.

And to ensure that everything goes off safe and sound, the Royal Security Squad:

The Queen also has her glock tucked into her royal support hose should anything go down.

Everything has been planned for Will and Kate’s Big Day, including my schedule: roll out of bed at 4:45, pop the bottle of champagne I’ve been saving for this very moment, don an appropriate hat, log onto Fashion Indie’s Twitter and wait with bated breath for Kate to stroll down the aisle in her (hopefully Alexander McQueen) wedding dress.

So join me, won’t you, tomorrow morning so can we live vicariously together through the Wedding of the Century and console me as I’ll be openly weeping at losing one more chance at marrying into the royal family.

I keep seeing images of Selma Blair and Molly Shannon from their new series Kath & Kim.  I’ve never found Selma Blair interesting, but I was excited when I heard Patricia Field was doing wardrobe for a new show — until I saw the pictures. I haven’t seen it or its British counterpart, nor do I plan to.  

I get it, they’re dysfunctional, quirky, zany, kooky, suburban, etc.  

Generally I LOVE British comedies.  But this seems like Absolutely Fabulous all over again.  I tried to like the show.  Really.  I’m sure someone will freak out when they read this.  I’ll give it another chance, though; it’s been a few years.  Maybe I was too young to “get” it.  But I remember the clothes.  I guess I can get all the skanky irony and humor of wearing such outfits.  But … I just can’t get behind this.  It’s all a little played out, and I prefer creativity over kitschy.  

P.S.  Did Kath & Kim even make it past its first episode?
