Defining Fashion Moment:  Season 1, Episode 1 –  ”Dancing to the Max”

There’s a dance contest at the Max hosted, for some reason, by Casey Kasem and Lisa is super jazzed…that is until she sprains her ankle. The resulting dance, appropriately titled “The Sprain”, stands not only as Lisa’s greatest moment — and proof that she can make anything look good, even crutches and a cast — but as the second greatest moment in SbtB history, behind only Jessie’s epic freakout when she gets hooked on caffeine pills. (I’m so excited! I’m SO excited! I’m so …*sobs* SCARED!)

This is not a joke, New York. Prepare, for we are getting inches, no, feet! of white (and soon-to-be black) precipitation, sure to snuff out sanitation service again. Arm yourselves now with the proper tools to get you through such another blizzard.

If you think you’ll need to get somewhere quick, or don’t want to give up your morning central park jog, get these Adidas by Stella McCartney sneaker/snow-boot hybrids.

Just trying to curl up inside and sit with cocoa and Kahlua till the storm passes? I’d prefer a cape like this See by Chloé Reindeer (this season, too, shall pass) Cape, as opposed to the Snuggie. Your blanket doesn’t need arms, you need a cape.

This is an appropriate time for a fluffy down coat, such as this Marc by Marc Jacobs double breasted poof.

If you can get your hands on Grandma’s luscious vintage mink coat, that will keep you roasty toasty till the snow’s gone. (Really, vintage, please… we’ve had enough dead animals this week).

Screw a simple scarf and think bigger. You need the depth and warmth cashmere travel wrap by White + Warren.

Forgo everything, if you can hibernate in the Chanel wookie suit.

I find it hard to believe that the Barney’s Co-Op opened 25 years ago. I felt like it was just yesterday I discovered the fashion destination when I first moved into the city. That being said I am always down for limited editions items such as this notebook. To be honest if Marc Jacobs created a line of paper towels that had the Marc By Marc insignia I would buy them all out.

I am a huge fan of Marc Jacobs because of his originality and impeccable ability to dress both men and women. Here s a look at his Men’s 2011 Resort Collection. I’m totally digging the color pallet and prints

I have to admit; I was a bit saddened when some of my favorite collections and designers—such as Marc by Marc Jacobs and even Diane Von Furstenberg—showed pieces for Spring 2010 with heavy 80’s flash-back incorporated into them. I’ve never been a big fan of that era, so seeing shoulder pads being accepted as fashionable once again will take some getting used to.

Patterns you’ve really only seen in reruns of The Cosby Show have suddenly thrown themselves back into major fashion again, along with a kaleidoscope of colors. Beyonce even sported a dress at the MTV Video Music Awards that looked all too much like a dress Joan Collins once wore on the show Dynasty.

So, find your crimper and big, floppy bow and get ready to look like you stepped out of a classic John Hughes movie this upcoming spring.

Thanks Jezebel

I was flipping through old issues of i-D, Dazed and Confused and Men’s Vogue while I was home in Buffalo over the holiday weekend. I knew I spotted a trend among male models, but it didn’t hit me until I saw Cole Mohr on the Marc by Marc Jacobs billboard in SoHo one last time…

The Trend: baby-faced, skinny, tattooed, pierced, punk rocking models who look like they just got kicked out of the high school homecoming dance for reeking of cheap beer. Bingo. 

Punk boys have been all over the editorials and up and down the runways recently. I absolutely love the awkward, but adorable, high school dropout look…and It looks like I’m not the only one! With Marc Jacobs and Hedi Slimane as avid fans of this look, it seems that the baby-faced punks will be scoring high fashion editorials and shows for years to come. But sorry ladies, just because you look like a prepubescent rocker doesn’t mean your gauged ears and inked arms are fully acceptable in the high fashion industry. It’s unfair, I know…but that’s just the way it is.

Men's Pea Coat: $599.99

Thanks to the non-existent Mike & Chris sample sale yesterday (can you tell I’m still bitter about that?), I didn’t stand a chance trying to snag the Comme des Garcons for H&M leftovers. This morning, I decided to check out eBay to see exactly how much people were reselling the limited edition collection for. Take a look at the prices…these people are crazy. With the economy the way it is, do people honestly think someone is going to cough up $600 for a typical black pea coat? For that price you could buy TWO of the awesome YMC belted coats from Oak!  Nearly $115 for a simple black wallet? Give it a month or so and the zipper on that wallet will be broken. Personally, I’d rather save that money and splurge on a Marc by Marc zip around wallet that will actually last me several years! And sorry Corey, I know you love your polka-dot tee, but buying something so simple for $100 on eBay is ridiculous! 

I would really like to know how much these pieces actually cost to make, how many 4-year-olds were forced to sew them in sweat shops and why on earth some people would re-buy these items for such absurd prices.
