"Baby seals WANT to die to be a part of a Kanye West coat."

We all know who Kanye is. We also know what a douchelord Kanye is. And how rumors seem to cling to him like super glue. Well, the latest rumor buzzing about Kanye is that he is heading to Fashion School.

I know what you’re thinking: Who would want to wear anything made by Kanye Inc? Well have no fear, rumors are called rumors for a reason. And don’t worry, F.I.T. students, you will not – I repeat, WILL NOT – be seeing Kanye in your sewing 101 courses any time soon.

And thank god; the fashion industry isn’t ready for Kanye (even if the music industry could use a little break). After all, they’ve already got Karl Lagerfeld and John Galliano. I’m pretty sure they’ve reached their ego threshold for the century without adding Kanye’s antics into the mix:

“I’mma let you finish, Betsy Johnson, but we all know that my neon patterned pants are the best neon patterned pants EVER.” Fashion may be subjective to most, but not to Mr. West. His eye is the best and everyone else is just second string. And right place or wrong, Kanye can’t help but share his opinions with the world, so what will stop him from hopping on the runway to give his two cents?

Two Words: Shutter Shades. Do we really need more of that crap in stores?

Models…who needs models? Kanye would just have a one-man runway show starring…none other than himself. It wouldn’t matter if there were women’s clothes in his line, there is only one model suited to wear Kanye’s clothes, and that is Kanye.

Kanye’s got sick style, no doubt about that, but if he took up fashion design, he’d have no time to update his Twitter, talk about himself or toast to all the douche bags. And what would the world be without all that?

Do us all a favor, Kanye, and stick to what you do best…..being you.

It is clear, ever since I tuned into the first episode of Jersey Shore, that my life (and vocabulary) would never be the same. I was robbed of my typical (Thirsty) Thursday nights in hopes of catching a glimpse of Ronnie laying someone out and going to jail and I now use the term “you’re not invited to chicken cutlet night” in my daily life.

It’s a fact: I love the Jersey Shore and recently it seems nobody is letting me forget it. The Situation and Snooki are everywhere: on every talk show, every gossip website, every tabloid, and recently even gracing the Grammy’s red carpet (where The Situation obviously took off his shirt…)

And now it has gone too far.
The Seaside Heights residents themselves were just invited to Fashion Week.

Snooki the fashionista? Yeah, I didn’t think so either.

The Grammys were one thing – I mean, those guys sure know how to beat a good beat – but now this? I mean yes, I am shamelessly and unconditionally in love with the Guido crew, but this is Fashion Week! Only the most glamorous and influential fashionistas are invited! The only fashion show these kids belong at is Ed Hardy… or maybe Fredrick’s of Hollywood for my girl, JWoww.  That makes a little more sense than getting front row seats to DVF, Marc Jacobs or any other high profile designer showing their goods. How do you think Anna Wintour is going to feel when she can’t see over Snooki’s elaborate pouf? And what will Nina Garcia have to say about her signature corset? Read More »

Fashion Week is here.
Fashion Week is here!!

I’ll admit it: I may be one of the only people who looks forward to fashion week more than Welcome Week (yeah I said it). But you know that when you come out of your week long drunken haze and find yourself bored in class (after all, one can only stare at her econ professor for so long wondering how this man who can barely speak a word of English is allowed to teach economics at a major university), you will need to preoccupy that boring classtime with other thoughts.

And what better thoughts than that of Spring 2010? After all, it’s never too early to think about Spring Break – especially when an adorbs Marc Jacobs sundress mini is involved, right? Of course, right. Now that’s a language we can all understand. Read More »

Although we gals have pushed, yelled and fought for our rights for decades, it’s an unfortunate fact that men dominate a number of professions in the U.S. (and often make more money than women doing the same things). Can we imagine a world where estrogen ruled, women weren’t subjected to workplace prejudices, and men were delegated to diaper duty (okay, we don’t have to go this far, but still…)??

Let’s take a look at some professions dominated by men and see how women could handle them…

Job: Floor Trader
Description: Member of a stock or commodities exchange who trades for their company amongst a sea of hysterical competitors.
Why women should dominate this profession: Many women I know admit to making a habit of picking fights with their boyfriends. There’s something about our argument style (sometimes fierce, sometimes whiny, sometimes teary, always clever, and oftentimes a mix of the four) that, when combined with batted eyelashes, ensures that we’re going to walk out of the room knowing that the score is Girl: 1, Boy: 0.

For the last few months, every Monday I’ve highlighted a star who I believe epitomizes style, whether because she takes risks and sets trends, or because she puts together simple ensembles that perfectly highlight her assets. In honor of the new year, I thought we should take a trip down fashion memory lane and see some of 2008′s best dressed stars. These ladies are all style icons of our time for different reasons and I’d jump at the opportunity to invade their closets any day. (To see more of these ladies’ perfect fashion choices, click on their pictures!) Read More »

Sibling Rivarly is back!

During this week’s blog, I torture the Bro with fashion questions, ask what he thinks of couture outfits (and the models wearing them), and force him play stream-of-consciousness.

Ah, just like being in the backseat of a car on our way to Grandma’s.

Me: Alright, well, you might not have known that it was fashion week last week in New York. First off…do you have any idea who Anna Wintour is?

The Bro: nope

Me: She’s basically this 50ish year old woman who wears giant sunglasses and thinks she is the most fashion forward person on the planet

Me: here is a picture of her: (she’s in the middle) Thoughts?

The Bro: She doesn’t look as old as meryl streep does in that movie

Me: Have you ever opened a Vogue? Read More »
