<p>In Topshop's "New In" page, it's not the horrible Blake Lively-esque side-braid the model's rocking, it's her sweater. Or more specifically, what's on her sweater.</p>

<p>At first, I wasn&#8217;t sure which animal I was looking at.  A skunk? A hamster? It was cute, but creepy.  Upon further investigation - or clicking - I discovered that the critter's a guinea pig, which is probably one of the most random things I&#8217;ve ever seen.</p>

<p>Sure, Miuccia scattered kittens all over Miu Miu and Giles went dinosaur crazy. I&#8217;ve even seen animal-centric sweaters in Topshop before (adorned with large cats, for example), but out of all of them, I think I prefer this guinea pig (it lacks the "crazy-old-cat-lady&#8221; stigma).</p>

<p>I&#8217;m not the only one drawn to the cuddly creature, the top's sold out in almost every size. If yours is gone, don't fret. This <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPJeGAJHrpc"target=_blank>clip </a>of Stephanie Pratt will more than fill your guinea pig quota for the day. <br />

<p>You'll assist the sales team by prepping the collections for appointments, pricing, developing looks, and orders maintenanceas.

<p>We are very excited to see what <a href="http://www.eugeniakim.com/" target="_blank">Eugenia Kim</a> offers up in the form of headwear, as we're always on the lookout for something new but seriously hate spending over $200 on it. The collection will hit stores and the web on April 18, just in time for us to pick out our signature summer look. Awesome. We're hoping for an array of knits as well as some more structured pieces. </p>

<p>Also arriving in April will be a limited edition of <a href="http://cynthiavincent.net/" target="_blank">Cynthia Vincent</a> shoes. When I lived in Los Angeles, I was Cynthia's publicist for a spell and so I am doubly excited to see this happen for her and her super talented shoe designer Charlotte Stone. Expect a range of heel heights, especially cute flats, one of her signatures. </p>

<p>Keep 'em coming, Target. This never gets old.</p>]]>

<p>They'd like a handful of highly-motivated, professional, and experienced interns to work in their fashion department.</p>

<p>It's unpaid, duh it's Condé Nast, but you will learn a lot!  Normal day-to-day responsibilities include managing the closet, handling incoming and outgoing samples, assisting editors on projects ranging from storyboards to store pulls, and general office support for the entire department.<br />
 <br />
They'll pick the most detail-oriented, highly organized multi-taskers who thrive in a fast-paced environment. Previous experience in the fashion industry is a must, so is living in New York.  They're looking for spring interns, but they're also interested in anyone who can start now and work throughout the year.  </p>

<p>You can e-mail your résumé and cover letter (as attachments) to gqfashion_intern@yahoo.com, with &#8220;GQ FASHION INTERNSHIP&#8221; in the subject heading.<br />

Good luck!</p>]]>

And they've also thrown in a few from years past which got us reminiscing. </p>

<p>But the one that really caught my eye was this Herb Ritts <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/picturegalleries/6608654/Pirelli-Calendar-2010-Lily-Cole-Daisy-Lowe-and-Marloes-Horst-photographed-by-Terry-Richardson.html?image=8" target="_blank">photograph </a>of Laetitia Casta in full pin-up mode. It made me miss Herb Ritts and wish that he was still around making beautiful people look even more beautiful. </p>

<p>We highly suggest heading over to his <a href="http://www.herbritts.com/images/" target="_blank">website </a>(kept up by his foundation) and taking a walk down memory lane. You know, in case you're looking for something other than actual work to get you through this Friday afternoon.</p>]]>

<p>We're pretty thrown by the fact that the cult-fave lip gloss is about to celebrate its 10th anniversary. Seriously, where does the time go? And on that note, how on earth is it almost Thanksgiving already?</p>

<p>But we digress. In honor of the big birthday, they've created a limited edition collection of four shades that will be released in April called 100% Natural Origin, with honey as its main ingredient. </p>

<p>We love all the pinky shades but not that we have to wait until warm weather returns to try them.</p>]]>

<p>Something like, "At last night's Victoria's Secret show, naked women, but for $3 million bras and tweed bustles, walked down a triangular runway, around the Black Eyed Peas who performed with mimes and trapeze artists, in front of a diverse front row including Jay-Z, Carine Roitfeld, Michelle Trachtenberg, Dr. Dre, Patricia Field and Sir Richard Branson.  The giant blow up dog that blew up out of the floor at the start of Pink section took our breath away and we left the Armory covered in glitter," would be a good start.</p>

<p>It was sort of like fashion Disneyland; there were lasers and dancers, people were in the sky, wings were made out of balloons, Fergie was actually great and the whole production made a Chanel show look like it's put together by a high school stage crew (a really talented one, sure).</p>

<p>If there'd been clothing, I'd say it was the most fun I've ever had at a fashion show. </p>]]>

<p>Thanks to his <a href="http://fashionista.com/2009/06/oh_no_-_giles_to_paris.php">ANDAM</a> award, he had the opportunity to show in Paris, he did, and now he's not coming back to London. </p>

<p>As if you could say no to Paris.</p>

<p>Despite the fact that the Giles show was always at the top, the Marc Jacobs of London Fashion Week if you will, and the fact that Giles' Paris show was alone on the very last day of fashion month, he <a href="http://www.vogue.co.uk/news/daily/091120-giles-to-continue-showing-in-paris.aspx" target="_blank">said</a>, "Sales were up 42 per cent for the spring collection, and a lot of new buyers came to the show. I work in London, employ people here, but I need to look at the bigger picture."</p>

<p>If showing in Paris means more dinosaurs, we'll happily jump on the bandwagon.  </p>]]>

If, in the future, you could actually shop out of the print magazine, there'd be trouble.  For now, you can shop their website, which is dangerously close.</p>

<p>This week, they've redesigned everything to make it clickable and shop-able, and they've  developed their own boutique within <a href="http://www.luckymag.com/shopping" target="_blank">the site</a>.  </p>

<p>Last night, editor-in-chief Kim France and the magazine's online team explained why their online shopping experience is different from the other hundreds out there.  Despite the 450 brands they've launched with, the team's managed to carry the magazine's tight edit onto the site.  For example, search results are sorted by <em>Lucky</em>'s editors, not equations.  When you search "studded bootie," the results appear in order of which ones the editors like best.  So really, it's like shopping a massive store from your bed with a fashion editor telling you what's best or as one of the editor's said, "We're bringing a human touch to the tech."</p>

<p>Also, almost every store <em>Lucky</em>'s hosting on their site offers some sort of cash back or rewards program, which you means you get money when you spend money.  So instead of despairing about how much your wallet's going to hurt, you can think about all the extra holiday presents you can buy and you'll feel a bit better.</p>]]>

Boy, was this a painful season of PR. We're not sure we can be convinced to go back for more. But we will keep you spoiler-free in the meantime. </p>

<p>1. Did you look at Heidi and think "Holy Pink!?"</p>

<p>2. Nina's face at Irina during judging, who didn't love it?</p>

<p>3. Really, that much black wasn't a conscious decision? Really? It's not necessarily wrong, but c'mon.</p>

<p>4. When you saw the black headbands, didn't you just think Carmen Kass in every single Michael Kors show you've ever seen?</p>

<p>5. Were you mad when Tim didn't reference Balenciaga re: the shoulders?</p>]]>
        <![CDATA[<p>6. Speaking of Tim, who didn't love his minor freak out? You know the man that helped Jack and Lazaro create their thesis collection must want to lose it with these people on a regular basis.</p>

<p>7. Do you think Joanna Coles was pissed that Heidi didn't reference <em>Marie Claire</em> when she introduced Nina?</p>

<p>8. Should Georgina Chapman just hire Carol Hannah at Marchesa now or what?</p>

<p>9. How far removed are we all from A/W 2009? Obviously, we're living it. But that lawsuit really sucked the life out of this season.</p>

<p>10. Do you think the right lady won?</p>]]>
