The 2012 Oscar Nominations were released today, and, as usual, I’m half way to underwhelmed. But then I began to think of the red carpet and all the praising and bashing opportunities it will bring. And since our invitations here at FashionIndie always seem to get lost in the mail, I took the liberty of putting together a 2012 Academy Awards outfit for myself. Love it or hate it in the Look of the Day.

Kanye West fell into a Twitter K-hole late last night, delivering a tweet-de-force when he addressed the Dw account that had appeared on the site a few days prior and which, it turns out, was fake. And once that was settled, we wandered into some strange territory.

For our Uptown Chic/Downtown Sleek look today we are obsessing over these Reiss sequin trousers. The perfect complement to both buttery smooth silks as well as rough & textured fabrics, their slim line and subtle sparkle make them a wardrobe essential.

There are three occasions I look forward to, in terms of getting dressed. First and foremost, is my annual gaycation to Provincetown, during which the booty shorts cum denim panties too risqué for even Chelsea and the sequined leggings too “say-something” for a work look are paraded about on a daily basis. More recently, I’ve gotten into Halloween just for another excuse to wear a heel. And then of course, there is Fashion Week. It’s a battlefield out there; survival of the chicest. The ante has been further upped by the explosion of photoseekers running around, snapping pics of the best-dressed stomping in and out of shows. So how do you catwalk in front of the lens and into the hearts of the new social anthropologist — the streetstyle blogger? Here are 5 looks to get you noticed.

As part of our “Art, Architecutre and Design” month, we at FashionIndie want to keep you culturally stimulated. But what good is cultural stimulation if you’re wardrobe leaves you limp? So combining the best of both worlds, here’s a handy dandy’s guide to some interesting exhibits opening around the city and what to wear to them.

Not for those with arachnophobia, each of these Giuseppe Zanotti sandals have one silver heel and eight creepy legs. Perfect for showing people who’s boss, there’s nothing like brushed leather adorned with an embellished, gunmetal spider to make an elegant statement.

One of our favorite reads at FashionIndie, New York Magazine, just came out with its “Cheap Eats” issue, including 20 mouthwatering pages with the best food under $25 in New York City. Being in fashion and all, we frivolously spend most of our hard-earned cash on clothing and accessories. But that doesn’t mean we resort to street dogs and bad pizza (ewww). Over the course of three days, we will show you where you can get a cheap tasty bite while wearing the outfit you splurged on. Today, lunch in Manhattan.
