I love you...I love you not!


REMEMBER when I posed the question is Kate Moss becoming a has been? Well this one's getting tough...Kate proved us wrong today by creating a buzz beyond massive, across the pond in London town. Top Shop has been taken over, and the British invasion is about begin. Kate's collection was available online at 11:00pm giving non Brits the chance to scoop up some of Kate's gear. Too many tried to get on the site, and thanks to those bitches, the server is down! I guess I'll just have to wait to get one of those killer floor length skirts.

I actually wanted something. There I said it, I admit it. I logged on, and tried to get my share of the CoKate for Top Shop collection. No luck.

(P.s. In case you haven't noticed, my myspace page is up so send me a little hello!)

Were any of you able to score something? fill us in... I want details.

And more thing: PETE'S IN REHAB AGAIN. Does this bring you right back to loving her not?

Dogs in a cage



ONE of my favorite things about Manhattan are the dog runs. A place where dogs can be dogs, roll around and get dirty and play while their owners also get a chance to mingle. Some single New Yorkers even think dog runs are a great meet market and it's definately somewhat of a pick up scene. The dog run for small dogs in Washinton Square park is one of the best in the city, and lots of celebs live in the area, so it makes for great people (and puppy) watching.

I was hanging out and enjoying the sun with my puppy and in comes the lead singers from The Strokes, Julian Casablancas with his equally hot wife, Juliet. Although I recognized him, I did what every New Yorker would have done... I left him the hell alone. He came in with an adorable puppy Shiba, and a frisky little Jack Russell Terrier. Julien and Juliet make a hot couple, and just ooze sex appeal. Even their dogs are ridiculously ridiculously good looking.

A match made in rocker heaven!

So how is this fashion related you ask? Well here's a little fashion tidbit: Julian is the son of John Casablancas founder of powerhouse, Elite Model Management and his mom Jeanette was Miss Denmark 1965. So does this make him fashion royalty?

"Heart in a cage" The Strokes starring our beautiful muse, Julien.



I think so. Julien's been officially crowned.

Back on board


SARAH Jessica Parker speaks about her "Bitten" line, and talks about going from hand me downs to style icon status. She talks about the "philosophy of Steve and Barry's" for affordable, well made "slightly trendy clothes" that she just couldn't say no. Click HERE to listen to the interview about bitten, straight from the horses mouth (no pun intended).

What "Bitten" is:
  • An affordable line for those who are style and budget conscious.

  • "Slightly trendy clothes" made for those who wouldn't normally have access to this kind of line.

  • Clothing that is mass produced, yet won't fall apart a week after you wear it.

  • Every single piece costs under $20.00.
Sorry if you were mistaken people, but bitten isn't Net-a-porter. I think a lot of us were so critical early on, because we imagined something edgier, and high fashion. Well high fashion it isn't. This line isn't Carrie Bradshaw inspired, and no Patricia Field didn't work on it either. Although I was a bit put off by the leaked photos (which I can't post because her legal team are vicious pit bulls) I will say that in all fairness, Bitten is a great concept. I'm back on board.

Although you may get your inspiration from Vogue, most young people in America (and around the world for that matter) cannot afford most designer clothing. Trust me, even I Ms. Model Citizen, do not have a closet full of Valentino, or Phillip Lim (whom I'm totally digging right now by the way). Bitten is for the youth, for women who like to mix high end/low end and for the women who just want to wear "slightly trendy" clothes without having to bounce their rent checks.

So kudos to SJP, because in all honesty, she could have "sold out" and done a line with any high end retail chain, but she didn't. She chose to make clothes that were fun, durable for their price range, easily accessible, and the best part of all, completely affordable.
