roundUP: Pleats Please Me

Jessica Lapidos — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 18:02:59 +0000

Oh yeah. Pleated skirts are a springy way to spin through the day. And with warmer weather zig and zagging into cooler temps and back again, a maxi with dimension might be the solution to the switch. Whatever the reason behind your desire for the permanent press, here are nine whose pleats please me.

Peruse the gallery for deets on the pleats.

With slits hiding in the pleated folds, this sweeping maxi steps up.

Sun shiny days bring textured yellow to light.

Having revolutionized pleating in the 90s with the tiniest folds, this skirt is a woven that truly stretches in its shape.

Pleats are a classy classic. Versace may be neither of those things, but this vintage skirt says otherwise.

It's not bifurcated, but the colors will set your legs apart.

Silk chiffon boxes out the patterned skirt.

Wide pleats take the look back to the schoolgirl. This brocade-like floral makes it regal.

This metallic blue pleather skirt escaped my 5th grade wardrobe, and got a hold of a Conair crimper. The Spice Girls clearly had a heavy hand in my upbringing.

A rounded yoke softens the linear pleating.

"Pleats Be Red-y" requests the pun-happy kids at

Beatles Biopic to Star Johnny Depp?

Jessica Lapidos — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 14:03:28 +0000

Wait.. hold up, Beatles biopic?? Yes, please! It is frightfully true that there have been few cinematic tales of The Beatles, and even fewer with any commercial acclaim. Across the Universe was visually stunning, and box office friendly, but it did not tell the story of the Fab Four. Nowhere Boy, the young John Lennon story, got buzz in the Beatle world back in 2009, but no real ticket traction. However, the currently in-the-works film, The Longest Cocktail Party would cover the recording of Let It Be and the creation of Apple Records. With Johnny Depp in the works, you could call it a Beatles bi-epic.

Now, where would Johnny Depp fit into the picture?

I’d Rather Go Nude than Be Chilly

Jessica Lapidos — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 21:47:01 +0000

This morning I stepped onto the street into to a chill I’ve not felt since winter was whittling away. Turns out, this silk georgette top was not quite enough to withstand this sudden weather upswing. And so I searched out an over layer that should have been mine to top this. What I found is that I’m craving a nude jacket for the walk home, and the stroll into fall. Lust for yourself here.

Liam Gallagher Is Not Into Skinnies

Saynt — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 05:36:55 +0000

The lead singer of Oasis, Liam Gallagher is gearing up to launch a clothing line. It’s called Pretty Green, comes out in July and is apparently for the 98% of us who are non-skinny. I’d support it but I’ve seen his sartorial stage choices. Not impressed.

Liam Gallagher Of Oasis Fame Set To Launch A Fashion Label…God Save Us All

Corey Moran — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 18:48:24 +0000

Seriously? This is a really bad idea. This quote just about sums it up too:

“The reason I’m doing it is I like clothes. We’re going to do clothes I like, if people like it cool if they don’t, they don’t!,” stated Liam in a video interview on Prettygreen.com
“If you’re going to do it, you’ve got to get involved and I’m looking forward to it, and I think it’s going to be good.”

Because you like clothes? Who the hell doesn’t like clothes?!? I like cars but I’m not out to start building my own! This has disaster written all over it. Oh and incase you still get this Gallagher confused with the one who smashes watermelons here’s an image for you.
