replica vintage longines watches

The adorable teenage actress Georgie Henley attended the 2010 British Independent Film Awards in London last night.

You would have noticed from my last post that I’m quite taken by her style and she wowed me again at this event wearing a Lanvin for H&M dress.

Her grey tulle dress with a sheer yoke was accented with a chartreuse ribbon tied to her waist.

This is the perfect look for the 15 year old, who works her affordable dress with a quiet confidence and beautiful smile.

Two tone shoes and a black sparking clutch completed her look.

I’m glad she didn’t over accessorize.

Turns out when Angelina Jolie sold her baby photos to People, she also sold her soul. On the condition that it look really, really good.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame New York Annex opens Tuesday. Where else were they going to put all that stuff from CBGB?

The Socialiterank.com siblings, Olga and Valentine Rei, are back, this time with the occult. Their newest Web endeavor, Astrocrack.com, is full of astrological wisdom, but as far we can tell, no ranking system. Sigh.

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz welcome their son to the world by naming him Bronx Mowgli Wentz. Must make him wish he’d stuck it out in the womb.

Fendi’s Fifth Avenue boutique served as a virtual melting pot of the arts last night, hosting a launch party for a book about artist John Baldessari and a piano performance by rock-and-jazz fusionist Eric Lewis.No mere coffee-table volume, Sharon Coplan Hurowitz’s The Prints of John Baldessari: A Catalogue Raisonne 1971-2007 is a definitive treatment, ten years in the making, of one of the last century’s most influential artists. “Making photographs part of art-making, John made that commonplace,” Hurowitz explained. “Now we take it for granted.” The L.A.-based Baldessari did a major collaboration with Mario Sorrenti two years ago, and a retrospective currently up at London’s Tate Modern is recognizing his lifetime contribution to the dialogue between creative forms.On a similar note, so to speak, Lewis banged out “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and other rock tunes during the party for an audience that included Brooke Shields, Prince Pavlos of Greece, and Linda Fargo—on a piano wrapped in pages from Hurowitz’s book. It wasn’t his first time playing for the fashion crowd: Donna Karan had him perform on the runway in February. “She likes my way of approaching the music,” Lewis (who has also played the Obama White House) said. “I stand, I have poses. I’m known for the faces I make.” No wonder he feels at home on the catwalk.

Tali Lennox has the blessing and the curse of being saddled with that name (Lennox, as in Annie’s daughter) and that mantle (It girl), but the London-based model is ascending the ranks on her own steam, booking campaigns for Burberry and Topshop and catwalk appearances for Prada, Missoni, Miu Miu, and Christopher Kane, among others. “I love adventure, how you can end up in completely unexpected places each week,” Lennox says of the draw of the industry—and case in point, this week found her in Paris, where she walked the Mango runway as the label’s new global ambassadress. Lennox spoke with Style.com about her adventures in the (artificial) forests of fashion, her love of vintage, and her conflicted feelings on It-dom.

The cast of ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1’ were voted best ensemble cast, ahead of the cast of ‘The Help’ by only a small margin.

Considering Emma Stone was the one most in the spotlight for the promo tour, I think it was right that Kristen Stewart, Ashley Greene and Nikki Reed received the most votes as they were all front and centre during this promo tour.

Kristen Stewart in J.Mendel and Roberto Cavalli, Ashley Green in Donna Karan and Nikki Reed in Michael Kors made up my favourites of this tour.

Let’s hope they up the ante for Part 2.

We always thought of Jen Brill as a Proenza girl—she’s friends with the designers and often steps out in runway pieces before anyone else. We’re also accustomed to seeing the Chanel beauty ambassador in one of Karl’s creations. But we can’t help but notice the style setter’s feeling Christopher Kane of late. She’s worn the Scottish designer twice already this week. At the RxArt benefit she helped throw on Monday night, she wore a bright yellow dress from Kane’s Spring ‘11 “Princess Margaret on acid” collection, with a Fall ‘10 embroidered coat (center); and last night at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering benefit, she went for a leather-and-lace look from Fall ‘10 in black (right). For our part, we always thought the two were a natural fit—we asked Brill to model the T-shirt Kane designed for our tenth anniversary at our Tommy Ton-lensed shoot back in September (far left).

Suggesting men wear skirts is definitely not a new idea on themen’s fashion scene, but at last week’s Paris men’s shows theclassic trouser is taking more than a beating.

Excepting luxury house Hermes, which Saturday offered up a bevyof classic narrow trousers, pleated narrow trousers, and even widetrousers ideal for the dying breed of golden boys or morestately-shaped bigwigs, men’s pants may be heading for arevolution.

Take that other icon of discreet elegance, Yves Saint Laurent,for example.

Showing the label’s latest designs at the four-day autumn/winter2009-2010 Paris shows, Saint Laurent designer Stefano Pilati threwaway long trousers in favour of low-crotch pants cut halfway downthe calf and worn over leggings.

Wearing short pants over long pants – perhaps to keep out thecold in the harsh economic times on the horizon – seemed a popularidea that also highlighted the show by Japan’s Yohji Yamamoto ofworker-inspired grunge-like cuts.

Kenzo men’s stylist Antonio Marras was like-minded.

Parading a collection he said was inspired by “great motherland”Russia, models strode the catwalk in thick leggings tucked intoboots, or very creased-looking trousers not fit for a jobinterview.

Another big classical name in men’s style, France’s Ungaro, alsodid away with the elegant straight pants or pleated pants whichonce epitomised male elegance.

That may be hardly surprising as the fashion industry looksahead to tough times and mirrors consumer demands for simplicityrather than ostentation.

Instead, trousers from the house’s designer Franck Boclet huggedthe body like jeans, were sliced off above – sometimes well above -the ankle and often folded over at the bottom in a kind ofcasual-looking cuff. And many of Ungaro’s pants worn under stylishjackets in fact were made of denim.

There were tight pants too at Louis Vuitton, while Belgiandesigner Kris Van Assche, who as the shows wind up on Sundaypresents his collection for Dior, also went for leggings.

Rick Owens, the US “grunge glamour” king showing for the firsttime in Paris, likewise cut some of his gothic-style pants off atmid-calf.

As for skirts, the designer best known for proposing skirts formen, France’s wild “bad boy” of fashion Jean Paul Gaultier, putplenty of his models in skirts worn over pants, or even just simplykilts – while thumbing his nose at gender dress codes by throwingwomen on the catwalk in pants.

And Dutch designer Francisco Van Benthum, also a newcomer to theParis shows, threw pleated aprons over pants.

But the best in the new androgyny may have been John Galliano’sman in underwear, sporting a pink suspender belt and stockings.

Zooey Deschanel looked lovely at the 2011 Emmy Awards last night.

The actress donned a Monique Lhuillier Resort 2012 bubble pink gown.

Her silk faille gown with drop waist and red self tie was paired with Stuart Weitzman ‘Femina’ pumps.

I love the Princessy vibe to this look.

I can also picture this gown on Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and Anne Hathaway.

Van Cleef & Arpels and a half up-half down hairstyle completed her look.

The winners and runners-up of the Vogue/CFDA Fashion Fund are once again getting an added boost with the accolade: capsule collections debuting this spring at J.Crew. Last week, the retailer hosted a dinner to toast Joseph Altuzarra, this year’s winner, as well as Pamela Love and Creatures of the Wind’s Shane Gabier and Chris Peters, all of whom will see their wares sold at www.jcrew.com, at the chain’s Fifth Avenue store, and by phone. Altuzarra’s seven-piece Saint-Tropezienne-inspired collection goes on sale tomorrow, with Breton-stripe sweaters and dresses, pencil skirts, and suede espadrilles among the offerings. Pamela Love and Creatures of the Wind each created three pieces; they’ll go on sale on May 17 and June 14, respectively, though they’ll be available for preorder by phone tomorrow as well

At the launch of Alexa Chung’s debut collection for Madewell at the Bowery Hotel last night, it was apparent that the model turned MTV host turned designer was attending to the details. From the illustrations on the gift bags to the polka dots peeking out from the ankle of a pair of cuffed jeans, Chung’s Annie Hall-meets-Lolita sensibilities proved a perfect complement to J.Crew’s sister brand. “There’s a notebook in there for you. And this is my favorite chocolate from England,” Chung said of the canvas goody bags that were snapped up by fellow partygoers model Daisy Lowe, Pixie Geldof (who was moonlighting as a mannequin for the line), and Tennessee Thomas, drummer of the Like and resident DJ for the night.Although Chung is no stranger to the fashion industry, the collaboration marks Chung’s first-ever design attempt. But, she says, “it wasn’t very hard: I took in drawings or pieces I wanted changed or made up differently.” Voilà—wool overcoats (the plaid’s her favorite), shrunken boy’s blazers, and Big Love-appropriate silk blouses. We had to ask—is this the stepping stone for her own line? “Maybe. I loved working with Madewell, so I’m just going to see where this goes.” Coy about business; less coy about the hazards of fashion week in February. “I look shit in cold weather,” she admitted. “I’ve always got a shit face on. But I’ve got a sheepskin coat. I guess that’s pretty good.”
