Panty lines, redefined.


While most of Leighton's wardrobe on Gossip Girl may be undeniably uptown, Meester proves to be a bit more "cheeky" on the red carpet. At last night's MTV Movie Awards Leighton rocked the shit out of an Emilio de la Moreno cut out dress and some ultra plush Brian Atwood booties.

I love when designers find sexy, and innovative ways to show more skin.

The After Party.







My friend Brittany coined the phrase "Rockstar's Daughter" to describe when a chick is acting pouty and holier than thou. 

Don't you love it?

It brings to mind the likes of Theodora Richards and Daisy Lowe, Zoe Kravitz and the Jagger clan. Drinking too much whiskey, smoking every last cigarette, their handbags splashed with vodka and grenadine and filled with hotel room keys. Reform school, boys in bands, day old Marni stacked heels and Givenchy lace ups landing heel first in yesterday's room service. To make a long story short, for one night every girl should be able to act like a pouty entitled brat.

So why don't you...

..forget about work tomorrow and go out tonight? Cash in one of your sick days, (It's not YOUR FAULT that the cute guitarist kept your champagne glass filled all night!) Life is too short to be a worker drone and no one knows this better than these birds. 
..shimmy into your tightest leather pants, throw on your ex boyfriend's well abused and threadbare Lou Reed tshirt and wear a sexy Kiki de Montparnasse bra underneath it all?
..wear those red patent mary janes you bought at a sex shop and for ten quid as a laugh? Fetish footwear is so this season.
..forgo washing your hair and let it hang sunbleached and dirty down to the small of your back? You will be dancing all night anyway.
..wear a fur and all the jewelry in your jewelbox? When it comes to this look more is definitely more.

The night is young and so are you. Be a haughty bitch and have no apologies.

I've never thought neon pink patent could feel so at home.

Quote of the Day.


"What you need is a face. If you have a face you don't need height or a voice. Models know this; that's why the good ones don't need to talk much."

Charlotte's Web.




Vertiginous, vintage inspired, luxurious- Charlotte Olympia is quickly becoming my new favorite shoe designer. Say goodbye to the redundant red underbelly of Louboutins, put away your bucktoothed Kirkwoods and say hello to the insanely chic gold spiderweb of Charlotte Olympia.

It is my belief that heels should be like a Hollywood trainwreck- overtly sexual, talked about and always extremely high.

Black Lipstick? 

I am having a hard time coming to terms with this trend even after the inspired show at YSL last fall. I have yet to see black lips make the jump from editorial to street and I can't say I would go crazy for it if I did. It's working for Alice Dellal here. But she is also a girl who can pull the half shaven head look.

So I'm going to have to say no. It's too indicative of who's been kissing who.
