Let me start out by stating that I am not normally a superstitious person: I don’t throw salt over my shoulder when I spill some, I don’t think twice about walking under ladders and my only chagrin about breaking a mirror is that I have one less surface in which to admire myself.  After this week though, I must say that I absolutely believe in omens, especially when delivered in the form of clothing.

Fashion is my religion so it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that it was a pair of pants that decided the fate of my uneventful week.  It was with great excitement that I broke my recession shopping rule and purchased a pair of Cheap Monday dark navy pants with bright red polka dots (size 25 inch waist!) from Inven.tory.  In anticipation for the Topshop opening party, I knew that I needed something funky and fun as I would be competing with some major celebrity wattage for my Patrick McMullan photo credit.

When Tuesday night came around, I could no longer contain my enthusiasm for the pants and decided to give them a test run at Nylon Magazine’s 10^th Birthday Party.  Held at the Shang Restaurant in the “it” hotel of the moment, the Thompson LES, I thought they would be the perfect statement for a downtown, hipster party.

Alexandra and I had somehow confused the time, arriving half an hour before the party was scheduled to start so after making friends with the publicists at the door, we went across the street to a little French bistro to kill time.  As fifteen minutes turned into an hour, a veritable throng of bodies in furs, leather jackets and high heeled pumps had formed a line around the block.

Finally refusing to wait any longer, we pushed our way to the front and immediately entered thanks to our earlier brown nosing.  Thinking we’d walk upstairs to a nearly empty room as we still hadn’t seen anyone else coming through the door, we were shocked when the entire restaurant was packed with the who’s who of the downtown scene.

I was disappointed to see that there was only one photographer in front of a meager step and repeat.  “I brought out the polka dot pants for this?” I whispered to Alexandra incredulously as we posed for pictures.  After pushing to get a drink at the besieged bar, we moved into the back room where we ran into Richie Rich hanging on the arm of singer Kat DeLuna.

We were quickly tiring of the pushing and shoving around us so as soon as we overheard that there was a VIP gifting suite on the 7^th floor, we ditched the frenetic main room and made our way to the promise land (so we thought).  It turned out that the joke was on us as the alcohol had run dry upstairs and the most ‘famous’ person was a castmate from The Real World: Brooklyn.

Slightly befuddled, we made our way back downstairs where things had started improving.  The crowd had thinned out but the ratio of celebrities to commoners had increased.  I ran into my friend, America’s Next Top Model Winner Jaslene Gonzalez, who was hanging out with club impresario Matt Levine.

In the other room was a dour-looking Taylor Momson, party hopping from the private Topshop dinner at Balthazar.  Inexplicably, Alexis Bledel (Gilmore Girls) was hanging out and looking rather out of place among the slightly grungy hipster set.  Definitely non-hipster, though, was Lydia Hearst, back from her charity work in Africa and wearing a custom silver corset by The Blondes—the same one Britney wore in her Circus album.

There was something slightly unfulfilling about the night and lack of press so Alexandra and I were out of commission for the next evening, vowing to come back strong for the Topshop party on Thursday.

When Thursday arrived, I once again donned the polka dot pants, determined to get them the press they deserved.  Our intel had told us that the Topshop party was in the store at 7PM.  I thought this was rather strange as the store had opened for business that day and it seemed unlikely that the place would be cleared and cleaned up for such an early party.

My suspicions were confirmed when the line snaking outside the store was filled with shoppers instead of socials.  After some urgent texting, we discovered that the party was actually at 9PM at The Box.  Already dressed to impress, we decided we’d do a “filler” event before Topshop to kill time and get a buzz rolling.  This was to be our downfall.

We bounced around from no-list to no-list event, the worst of which was the Marc Ecko store ‘party’ where a massive man straight out of a Suge Knight video was actually walking around with a pimp cane and hat.  The last time I felt that out of place was on 2^nd grade picture day when all the boys and girls were in their Sunday best and my mother had irreverently put me in a LA Laker’s jersey because she didn’t want to buy the photos anyway.

After forty miserable minutes, we left to attend the Complex Magazine party at Anchor Bar celebrating the Kanye West cover.  Once again, we had arrived early and were told to wait, something for which I have no patience.  When fifteen minutes passed and we were still on the wrong side of the velvet rope, I had had enough.  The last straw was when the flack outside told me they weren’t letting anyone inside as he opened the rope for a group of five to come inside.

I had such a bad taste in my mouth from the night that I refused to prolong my pain by going over to The Box.  Such was my week.  If you disapprove of the dearth of excitement, don’t blame me—blame the pants.

In celebration of “seven decades of female risk takers, rule breakers and style makers” Glamour brings 12 American Icons back to life with some of today’s rising stars.

The tribute includes Lindsay Lohan as Madonna, Chanel Iman as Althea Gibson, and Emma Roberts as Audrey Hepburn (above).

Despite her recent fashion moves, Alexis hasn’t always been on top of her game. Alexis started off her career young and not completely clued into the fashion forward scene, but in recent years it’s been clear Alexis has hit an entirely new era. With help of an awesome stylist, Alexis never fails to look camera-ready at all times.

The stars of Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2: Blake Lively, Alexis Bledel, America Ferrera and Amber Tamblyn.

The NYC premiere of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 came to town last Monday. The stars hit the red carpet dressed in adorable fashion. From casual to chic, the celebs looked fantastic. While Blake Lively’s orange Grecian Gucci dress was my favorite, Alexis Bledel overall look was stunning. America Ferrera’s cerulean Brian Reyes dress looked great on her skin tone, and Amber Tamblyn’s navy jumpsuit was daring.

Unfortunately, everybody was not fashion forward. Lohan was by far the worst dressed. She looked too casual, as though she was going to the mall. Casual can work but it is all about execution. Gossip Girl’s Ed Westwick looked laid back and dashing in Lacoste. The Sisterhood stars were all smiles and looked darling. Catch the girls in the film, August 6th!

Thanks to NY Post for the pics!

Vanity Fair released their list. Here is ours!

Top 25 best dressed:

Tavi, the 12- year-old blogger, always takes a dose of fashion daily. Starting at young age, it’s clear fashion is in her roots. Embracing her style, the blogger takes a picture daily for all to see her stardom.

Walking off the Gossip Girl set Blake Lively never steps out of her fashion forward character. The actress is always looking trendy and perfectly put together.

Camilla Belle never fails to strut her success with the perfect outfit. Camilla always accessorizes perfectly for her unique outfits.

Taking after her mother, Lourdes Leon never fails to make a statement. It’s clear Lourdes is just one step away from becoming the daring icon, who’s footsteps she follows.

Zoe Kravitz never fails to impress us with her fashion choices. She’s a gal who certainly knows how to accessorize while choosing bright colors to make a statement.

Demi Lovato emerges into fame the right way with fashion at the forefront. Demi always looks dressed to impress with the latest trends, while bringing her personal style to the table.

Katy Perry’s fame hit us from the blindspot, but we’re not complaining. We like a girl who isn’t afraid of expression; Katy’s always been a girl who speaks, or sings, her mind; her fashion choices reflect this as well.

Joe Jonas takes no backseat to fashion. The trendsetter is always looking on his game in ties, jackets, and our favorite hats!

Our man Kingston Stefani always has his fashion cap on. Kingston doesn’t need Gwen! He’s been a trendsetter since day one.

Suri Cruise, the emergin fashionista herself, is always looking ready to strut in her adorable dresses and skirts. I don’t think this gal has ever repeated an outfit!

Bijou Phillips doesn’t just look style ready in her ad campaigns. The supermodel’s always in character with elegant skirts, coats, and our favorite chic dresses.

Emergin teen actress Selena Gomez hits the scene with the perfectly trendy outfits. We love that this girl knows how to dress her age while still keeping her unique sense of style in mind.

Emma Watson has shed her Harry Potter gettup nowadays and she’s ready to hit the streets as an icon for current fashions. We think she’s doing a good job! Keep the cute dresses coming.

Though Mary-Kate Olsen is often judged for her “out-there” fashion choices, we like that she knows how to make an entrance. She’s not afraid of her style and she certainly knows how to put together an outfit.

Jessica Szohr may look simple, but she always looks trendy. The actress is always camera ready with her fashion foot forward.

Taking after his father, Jaden Smith never fails to impress. When the 10-year-old enters a room all eyes are on him because he’s the trendsetter.

Known for being self-induldged and overly confident teen on Gossip Girl, Ed Westwick has style with a voice. Talks of Ed’s own clothing line are emerging, and if it features his own style, we can’t wait!

15-year-old Taylor Momsen has stepped into the limelight lately, and she’s done so with the right idea. Known as “Jennie” on Gossip Girl, Taylor’s always looking fabulous in the perfect variety of dresses that never ends.

Starring in Weeds, Hunter Parrish doesn’t ever forget where the cameras are. Hunter’s always looking great in suits, jackets, and colors that work wonders.

Coming close to the release of her new movie, Alexis Bledel is looking better than ever! The actress has been seen in a vartiety of elegant dresses looking red-carpet ready constantly.

Being Leo Dicaprio’s girlfriend certainly has its perks. Now, not only does the supermodel have the camera on her during shoots, she has the camera on her nearly all the time. Bar Rafaeli keeps her style alive as she pursues a unique spin on popular trends that always turns out on a positive note.

Becki Newton certainly knows how to accessorize. The actress loves her dresses and numerous styles of shoes, which she brings to the red carpet in confidence.

Keira Knightley knows what it’s like to be famous on two fronts. Keira’s not only known for her acting talents, but she’s a fashionista in her own right. Keira loves her elaborate dresses, and so do we! She’s always in iconic character.

Designer’s daughter on Gossip Girl, Leighton Meester certainly follows up her character’s fashion choices in real life. Leighton always picks the right ensemble.  Whether its pencil skirts with heels or chic dresses with the perfect handbag, Leighton never fails to impress

Top 15 Worst Dressed:

“Do, Do You Got A First Aid Kit,” for her face! This Danity Kane singer is always wearing to much makeup and not enough clothes. Aubrey O’Day used to look good, but she has really been a tranny mess of late.

Amy Winehouse used to be such a cute innocent girl from England. She used to dress well, and fairly conservative too. Now she is a cracked out drug and alcohol abuser who spends more time “powdering her nose” than getting dressed (if she event puts clothes on).

She started out as a “Heroine Chic” hipster forerunner. Now Cory Kennedy is just a heroine user who just blends in with all the Williamsburg hipsters. She has become surprisingly unoriginal, and could seriously use a shower.

I can’t stand the fact that Rihanna is tricking the impressionable minds of the American youth that leather leggings are fashionable. We give her props for trying to support smaller indie designers, but when you look like that you’re almost giving them a bad rep. Let us not forget that week span where she was photographed wearing the same outfit everyday.

What did we really expect from the offspring of a professional wrestler and 2008’s cougar of the year. I think it is safe to say Brooke Hogan doesn’t know best.

Kim Kardashian has really lived up to her sex tape making reputation by continuing her slutty appearance off camera. You know your dad always says how you may give the wrong impression to guys with the way you dress? Well this is what he was talking about.

There is someting ironic about dressing like a tough rocker and then proceeding to threaten transexuals like Trace Cyrus does. If you were ever confused on what an “emo” kid looks like, well here is your answer. I personally have never had problems with tattoos, but facial piercings are a totally different story.

I thought we were over the guy liner and flat ironing our hair phase, but Pete Wentz just won’t let it go. Not that I don’t occasionally enjoy wearing a comfortable hooded sweatshirt. But when thats all you wear and you always have the hood up, it gets old fast. Lucky for him his wife isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, or she might force him to change his look for once.

Is it bad that “Little Miss Sunshine” makes me want to puke every time I see her? Yes, she may be twelve but regardless Abigail Breslin dresses like crap. We live in a decade where twelve year old girls are supposed to look eighteen, and well it’s no fun when you actually look twelve. Can someone say stylist?

When you are following in the footsteps of Cory Kennedy (who is already on this list), what did you expect? You are a wannbe hipster who spends your C-list celebrity paycheck on coke and alcohol. Oh and the OC wasn’t even that good! Guess this is what happens when you have to go back to shopping at Urban Outfitters because your career is over.

This Canadian punk wannabe, Avril Lavigne, should be deported immediately. The pink, black and white color scheme was done years ago, right along with pink streaks in your hair. You tour is doing terrible and so is your stylist.

Sam looks decent for a guy, but still not even that good. We are over the whole fedora and high top sneakers everyday. I would pay to see her in a dress, but I guess one of them had to be the man of the relationship, and it seems like Lindsay wouldn’t give in.

Since her boy toy Spencer came out and said how he gets paid to go places and gets all this free stuff, we can’t help but think that the disgusting clothes Heidi wears were free. Heidi is exactly what fashion shouldn’t be. Her style is terrible and as fake as her chest…and nose…and hair color…and reality show!

Well Tila Tequila does dress right for the job of being the biggest MySpace whore of all time. She is the only one with bad enough style that both guys and girls don’t want to date her.

This self proclaimed “trendsetter” couldn’t be any further from that in my eyes. When you show up to red carpet events in graduation gowns and turbans claiming to be fashionable you know you have a problem. You know you aren’t looking so good when every other poorly dressed person on this list is complimenting you, and every one on the best dressed list is laughing at you from a distance. I will say his best accessory is his little “mushroom cut” rocking friend Anna Wintour, but only because it dumbs down his awfulness. Fashion should be different and outlandish at the time, but practical at the same time. Andre doesn’t have that.
