Would You Wednesday: Leighton Meester Edition

By |September 8th, 2010|Why Did or Why Don't?|

UGH. This really upsets me cause there aren’t two things I love much more than Gossip Girl and Leighton Meester. That being said…

61519851Here is Leighton at the Fashion’s Night Out: The Show on Tuesday night wearing a Versus dress, Louis Vuitton clutch, and Christian Louboutin booties. I mean, She is so gorge, but this outfit is horrid. The only thing it makes me want to do is gossip about how ugly it is. Sigh, why, Blair Leighton, why? Now the Columbia girls are never going to accept you!

You know you love me.

Why Did You Wear That: RiRi Rehab

By |April 15th, 2010|Why Did You Wear That?|

Dear Rihanna,

First and foremost, I think you are exquisite. I remember seeing you on the rooftop of Soho House last summer and being stunned by your beauty. You truly are a gorgeous girl. Our entire group had to pick our chins up off our poolside bed/couch as you sashayed by.

That being said, dub tee eff is going on with your outfits? I get that you have your own “personal style” but it’s getting kind of offensive. You’re sort of channeling Taylor Momsen/Jenny Humphrey with your “I don’t give a f*#$” get ups. Guess where that got little J? Written off of Gossip Girl. So let me step in and stop you before someone decides to write you off.

I get it. You’ve had a rough go this past year. My heart goes out to you. I know firsthand what boy dbaggery looks/feels like. No one deserves that. However, looking like a crazy bag lady certainly isn’t the best revenge. Take a cue from Kim K strutting around looking hotter than ever in her bikini (suck on that, Reggie). Or go get a weave like I did!

Let’s take a look at some of the biggest offenders:

What the f*#%? What happened to this little cutie?

I mean, I can’t vouch for that belly chain, but you get what I’m saying.  Let’s go ahead and reel it back in. How about getting some of your girliness back? Remember when you were so hot and feminine that people were hypothesizing that Beyonce was getting nervous? Yeah, let’s get that RiRi back before we have to send you to fashion rehab.

Sending my love.

Beauty Buzz: Clawing Her Way to the Top

By |November 19th, 2009|Beauty Buzz|

I was literally JUST discussing acrylic nails with my  manicurist while he lacquered me up with Butter’s La Moss as I lounged at my very favorite hangout, Ryan Darius Salon. (Seriously, I’m concerned they are going to either start charging me rent or put me to work shampooing!)

We were laughing about airbrushed tips and butterfly nail art and the next thing you know, as I’m catching up on the TV that I missed for various reasons, I see THIS:
1117-blake_lively_nails_bd

1117-blake_lively_nails_zoom_bdReally? Really, Serena? Are we doing this? You’re one PATH ride, an airbrushed kitty, and a couple of rhinestones away from belonging in a different state (Jersey, anyone?) I’m sure there is a perfectly good explanation for this oversight in styling.  I’ll be patiently awaiting this explanation.

Thanks.

P.S. you almost, ALMOST killed Gaga’s appearance for me.

WhyDid Wisdom: Bendel’s Got a Brand New Bag

By |May 1st, 2009|WhyDid Wisdom|

You may know it as the New York institution on Fifth Avenue where “Gossip Girls” go to shop, but today marks a sad day for the “girls’ playground.” Henri Bendel has announced they are planning to expand their accessories business, which means they will be eliminating their apparel departments completely.

Over the years Bendel’s has been trying to re-invent itself in many different ways, but after opening a handful of accessories stores that only carry private-label merchandise, they have decided this is the route they are going to take. They will be opening another six stores this year, bringing the total to eleven. They also started their brand promotion on different social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook. They opted for a different technique for branding on social media like Facebook ads on Facebook. For the social boost review of traffic boosting tool visit us.  And for the promotion on Instagram, they firstly opted for the strategy to make their account popular by increasing the number of Instagram followers through Upleap. They hire the top famous company Nitro for the increase of instagram followers. According to the sources, they also started getting the result on their Instagram page.

Where does that leave  the apparel buyers?  Well, that’s a good question.  There is no longer a place for them at HB.  With no more Herve dresses to buy, no more I.D. Sarrieri lingerie to select, and not an E.Vil t in sight, they have been sent on their ways to explore new opportunities.

It was a good run and I will truly miss the wonderful ladies with whom I  worked.  On a positive note, this will give me much more time to scout out horrific fashion and update you on clever ways to make your cleavage  appear more voluptuous.  You should probably just go ahead and send HB a “thank you” note cause now you’ve got my undivided attention.
