This is all around amazing - Karen, the clothes, everything. (Goodness, how's that for playing dress up? Geez.)
I love the cripple shot and the one in which she's "fainted."
White tights never looked so good.

Thank you to candysweet21 and Martin for the photo shoot info!
It helped me find the rest of the pictures easily.

The first thing that comes to mind (probably because of the bunny-shaped Stella pictured) is Charlize Theron's character on Arrested Development. She played a developmentally-challenged woman who acted and dressed like her pre-k/k students (complete with the stuffed animal backpack).
I'm in college right now and the only time I use my backpack is if I have to carry a lot of books (or one Norton Anthology) or carrt books AND my laptop.
I used to know this one girl (college-aged) who had a really cute hot pink mini Jansport; it was just a shrunken version of the regular and it had this great simplicity about it. It could fit maybe a notebook and other smaller things. It was adorable and so was she.
The bonus of a backpack, of course, is that it distributes the weight equally on both shoulders. One of my mom's shoulders is lower than the other from carrying her bookbag around as a student. It's that whole scoliosis thing they warned us about as kids.

I'm in a digital graphics course and we're doing a project that involves working with scanned images. Ideally, the images should portray action, so the girl who sits next to me has a stack of Caroline Trentini shots from past issues of Vogue.
Every time I see the pictures I think of your posts chronicling Anna's love of the midair Trentini!
Also: My goodness, her face is gorgeous. She's like a doll. (Hmm, Gymnast Barbie? No, much better.)

No kidding - safari hat to the max.
The first images make me want a mani-pedi.
Hehe, love the flippers! That was quite unexpected. I really like that second model, as well.
Oh, and that saddle works surprisingly well as a headpiece.

Ooh, thanks for the heads up. I freaked out just now because it's past 8 EST, but it turns out they're not airing it where I am 'till Friday. Shall tune in then...
I don't have a blatant fake (well, no logos), but I have got a couple of imitations/"inspired by"s - one from Target and one from (drum roll, please) Forever 21. Both of which I jumped on 'cause I like the orginals so much.
Yeah, it feels kinda cheap, but that pretty much wears off.
I will say, though, that since I started reading Fashionista a year ago, I've been much more turned off by the whole imitation thing (and fast fashion in general). So yay!

Yeah, what guest 8:30pm said.
Thank you for the tip! I didn't realize these new artist themes were up!
I wish Todd Oldham's was more exciting.
My pick: Oscar de la Renta
Also: Tory Burch has a Google app? Weird.

Yes! I miss Isaac's show.
I haven't really watch The Style Network since it ended and I began wondering if that channel (wow, my inclination there was to just use one 'n') even exists any more. (I think I heard that it does?)
The website for the show was pretty cute, too. It had a little style tip each day. When clicking through them one time one said "When in doubt, wear black," and the next one said, "When in doubt, wear pink."

I saw some on the forever 21 site too. I was gonna send it to you...
*searching*
Oh, my bad: They're "Motivational Bangles"

Now I really want a burrito. Thanks.
I loved Rich Girls! Although I do remember wanting to strangle them when they hung out with Lucille Ball's granddaughter. Jealous!

Thank you for the heads up. Am setting my DVR now... cause ain't no way I'm getting up at 7 (central time).
Oh, and guest 3:10 - am I the only one who still keeps a VCR?
I can understand that it might be easier to catch it on YouTube, but setting up a tape and hitting record isn't that much harder than setting a DVR.

Gorgeous!
Now if I could only remember where my blue nail polish is...

I'm so excited about this. I've been jonesing for some of her pyramid stud earrings for over a year now. So far I've passed on similar styles from others (they're just not right) and I haven't gotten around to DIYing.
Love all of her stuff.
I guess it'll just be the jewelry, huh? No bags or belts?

A jumping model who's not Trentini? Are they trying to mess with our heads?
I love that designers' names are the same in every language.

Whoah - flashback photo!
This kind of reminds me of the Pirates of the Caribbean scent at Hot Topic. (Yes, it exists, but I can't recall what it actually smells like.) I was actually kind of excited about that one until I realized that smelling like a pirate, even a Disney-fied bottled version, doesn't seem appealing.
As for the Avril scent, my 16 year old self might have cared (my friend and I totally snuck ourselves into the front row of the non-mosh pit), but now? Not so much.

Gosh I love the Richard Prince LV bags, though the one pictured is pretty boring.
That Gucci jacket is super cute.
I really like the cheeky text blurbs in this spread, even though the longish sentences aren't helping my already spinning head.

Exquisite hair and makeup and beautiful baubles. I'm crazy about that star earring in the second photo (and the polka dot armchair in the second to last shot!).

Yet another reason to mourn Isaac's departure from Target.
I was just watching the Cry-Baby movie yesterday morning! It prompted my sister to wear a blouse tucked into a high-waisted pencil skirt when we went out for the day :)
Isn't January Jones (Mrs. Draper) lovely in Mad Men?
I must find out when that show's premiering...
And yeah - what is it with the teeny tiny waists on vintage pieces?

I love that picture of Gemma! It's Vogue UK, but does anyone have more info on that photoshoot?
