New Year, New ‘Do: Kim Kardashian Got Bangs

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

Kim Kardashian rang in the year 2012 with a bang, and we are talking about her hair. The recent divorcé celebrated New Year’s Eve at Tao Las Vegas with newly cut fringe and a hefty paycheck – she reportedly made $600,000 just for attending the party. Though all this information makes me incredibly nauseous, I must say the bangs suit her. She went from banging Kris Humphries to banging herself on NYE and hey, I guess she looks pretty good.

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

Jeremy Scott Rides the Kooky Cowboy

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

Ass-less chaps took the front seat at Jeremy Scott – backside baring antics roused the buzz that circulated his show in the days that surrounded New York Fashion Week. Now, with a little distance and a continent between now and then, we revisit. Centered around the Scott-idolized Beverly Hillbilly, Elly May Clampett, we can get a clearer idea of where Jeremy is coming from. Which is actually Kansas City, Missouri. You can take the girl out of hicksville, but you can’t leave all the tack behind. Let’s break down the show and weed through the wacky tack to the heart (and taste) of the collection.

Boutique Critique:: Court: Look 4

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

If you saw Boutique Critique yesterday, this dress probably looks familiar to you. I’m wearing it again because its versatility begs to be worn on a recurring basic. Court founders and co-owners by Nicole Tondre and Lisa Fuller have a deft hand for clothing that makes sense, and it makes shopping the store a pleasure. These are the kinds of clothes you can really take your time with in the dressing room, and then spend years discovering their full capacity.

FINALLY… A Perfect Fringed Bag for Spring

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

I feel like a very frustrated, yet stylish Goldilocks stumbling into the house of the three bears, looking for something just right. I’ve been on a mission to find a perfectly sized, faultlessly fringed bag for spring, and it’s been a rocky road. But, ladies and gentleman, the search ends here with this just-right Meli Melo Tallulah fringed nubuck shoulder bag. Large enough for everyday wear but small enough to take out at night, this purse has just enough fringe .
