The time is nigh. High and bye. Hello good friends and fortuity, for you set forth on a journey of the body, the soul, the music, the mind, the dance. Different realms might you encounter. Adorned appropriately you shall be. On Molly, on Lucy, on dancer and prance! By rave or by sea, through woods festively, you dress for the adventure. May you do it sparingly, epically and wisely.

Britain’s Advertising Standards Authority has had its share of questionable decisions in the past. From deeming Hailee Steinfeld‘s Miu Miu ads “irresponsible” for depicting the teen actress on railroad tracks to banning Dakota Fanning‘s Marc Jacobs “Oh Lola” ads for being “sexually provocative.” Well it seems the ASA has loosened up a little — at least when it comes to loose women — giving a controversial ”Walk of Shame” video by Harvey Nichols a thumbs up. And maybe a high five.

LOOKBOOKS editor-in-chief Cator Sparks explores the lost art of fashion illustration with artist Katy Smail. See the interview and fantastic gallery of her whimsical work below.
With the amount of air brushing going on these days, models in magazines look nearly good enough to hang in the Louvre. Their skin so dewy, their teeth so white and their eyes so clear, so it only make sense that the fashion world is rediscovering the lost art of illustration.

And the French get the final say. Paris Fashion Week has drawn to a close and we’ve sifted the runways for the trends that will affect your wardrobe come September, or sooner. Designers have squared off, whited out, and swept their competition. Karl Lagerfeld and Marc Jacobs were on some similar wavelengths for the new silhouette of Chanel and Louis Vuitton. Ann Demeulemeester and Gareth Pugh finally got coordinating dragon tattoos. Meanwhile, the leg bomber strikes again and we’re still highlighting the hot outline. Now, follow the bell hop to the trends of Fall 2012.

- Lana del Rey was allegedly caught in the middle of a photoshoot for Versace. But seeing as there is nary a heel nor a cut-out present, I’m not, much like Lana del Rey’s music, buying it. [ONTD!]
- Abercrombie & Fitch employees are apparently forced to do push-ups and squats as punishment, which seems excessive since breathing in that tonic water they call cologne on a daily basis is punishment enough. [Huff Po]
- Damn you, Demi Moore, do you know what you hath wrought? Jessica Simpson is the latest, but certainly not the last, starlet to jump on the exposed and expecting bandwagon, as she bares her belly for the April issue of Elle. [Elle]

You have a date with a sweet guy. Needless to say, all of your friends are shocked (as would be mine). This is the kind of dude that might be intimidated by your metallic 7 inch Jeffrey Campbell Lotus platforms (yeah, we’ll see how long he lasts), but you want to have a great date in some guy-friendly heels. If it gets serious, you’ll have to either werq him into your crazier shoe collection step by step, or lead a double footed life. But, seriously, these are some sexy shoes. And if you can find a man that can handle the heel-less platform (which yes, made this list), hold on tight and turn him into your personal-street-style-blog-photographer-boyfriend.

- David’s wife Victoria, however, knows exactly what she’s doing on the cover of i-D. [Telegraph]
- John Galliano resurfaced recently to fete the birthday of a close friend. And not a single Jew was harmed — it’s called progress, people. [Page Six]
