Oscar Recap

The big night came and now its over.  While Hollywood attended their fancy parties for a feel good time after all the excitement of the night, I was exhausted from the entire show and trying to keep up with my Oscar app.  Yes,  I know a little crazy but I wanted to have enough information for myself rather than reading the critics.  And yes, I’m sure some critics had a field day with their summation.  I on the other hand believe fair is fair and give credit where it is due.

As you know, the night

by: Frédérique Renaut for Benjamin Kanarek Blog

Since the now legendary fashion biz earthquake, caused by Carine Roitfeld's Vogue Paris exit, the speculations about her future moves are running rampant. Did she leave to join Tom Ford in his new venture, or
for licensing products with her own name (like Anna Della Russo's
Perfume)? Or was she simply fired by Jonathan Newhouse, the Chairman of
Conde Nast International? Do we really want to know the reasons?

What is interesting here is the position th

Rodarte...skirts from f/w 2010!

Rodarte è uno dei miei brand preferiti. E quando ho visto queste stupende gonne sul celebre Colette Store non ho potuto fare a meno di postarvele. Entrambe sono caratterizzate da un patchwork e da un sapore vintage. I prezzi sono sicuramente alti, quasi proibitivi, ma vorrei andare oltre. La prima gonna in particolare ha un senso di movimento intrinseco difficile da trovare nei capi dal sapore vintage ma viene persino difficile definirle, come ogni creazione delle Mulleavy, poiché Rodarte si può
