| Hamish Bowles, Vogue, To Star On Gossip Girl Posted: 16 Jul 2010 07:00 AM PDT  Photo by Christopher Peterson Fashion’s Night Out is going to be huge this September. Vogue has already announced that they will drum up excitement for the September 10th shopping spectacular with the largest fashion show ever staged in New York, featuring over 200 models and seats for 1500 onlookers on September 7th. And now, FNO is getting a plot line on Gossip Girl starring Vogue staffers. A tipster sent in this photo of Hamish Bowles and Kelly Rutherford filming in NYC yesterday. The scene was reportedly shot outside of Diane Von Furstenburg’s studio in the Meatpacking district. If Hamish Bowles’ boob tube cameo isn’t enough, the NY Post is reporting that Lauren Santo Domingo will make an appearance on the show as well. The Fashion’s Night Out episode is set to air September 20th, 10 days after the real FNO, and five day’s after the event’s one-hour CBS special. Set your DVRs.

| Last Night’s Parties: a+o For M.A.C. Doles Out Manis, Prada Throws One Swingin’ Party Posted: 15 Jul 2010 05:15 PM PDT
But to get warmed up, we hit up the alice + olivia M.A.C. cosmetics collection launch at Beauty Bar first. Though it seems strange to get a manicure in the middle of a party when there’s a significant risk of getting whacked in the head by an overstuffed bag or having a cocktail spilled on you, girls were lined up to get pampered. The party was chock full of models in tiny dresses, and as we made our exit, an over-tanned ex-model in the tiniest dress breezed past us smelling like Bath and Body Works. Why hello Kelly Killoren Bensimon! You are so tall! On to the next. Stepping into Prada’s party at Joe’s Pub was like stepping into the most fashionable jazz club. The lights were low, a jazz singer crooned, Angela Lindvall, the star of Prada’s fall print campaign and brand new Steven Meisel directed video, sat pretty in a corner by the bar, and models decked in Prada Swing sunnies and cone-head-like bouffant hair posed like beautiful aliens throughout. We even got our Polaroid snapped with one of these beautiful Prada aliens, and seized the opportunity to find out what went into making that incredible hairstyle. She confided it took about an hour, tons of gel and hairspray, and there was a little doughnut-thing hiding underneath and holding it all up. Mystery solved. A little after 10 p.m. and much anticipation, Nina Hagen, the “Mother of Punk” finally got on stage and belted out songs from her new album, and threw in a little Ave Maria, just ’cause. Here’s what I learned about myself at this party: Prada is super classy. Me? Not so much. If I had known Prada was going to have the most decadent raw bar–oysters, jumbo shrimp, and, yes, lobster tails–in addition to passed hors d’ouevres, I totally wouldn’t have scarfed down that spinach artichoke (read: heavy cream) pizza and PBR on the sidewalk at Artichoke Basille’s on my way there.
But I’ll celebrate Bastille Day with the Italians anytime.

| Can A Water Spray (Or Mist) Make You Pretty? Posted: 15 Jul 2010 03:04 PM PDT
Beauty companies seem to be moving away from more scientific sounding names for their potions in favor of calling them simply "water" or "mist." Water conjures up images of rippling ponds and purity. (Well, at least it used to before the BP oil spill.) These products claim a variety of benefits, from refreshment and hydration to purifying and toning. They appear to be the gentle little sisters of traditional toners and astringents. I asked Dr. Elizabeth Hale, a dermatologist at the prestigious Laser and Skin Surgery Center of New York, for her professional opinion about this product category. She told me that traditionally, toners contain alcohol, water, and a humectant. Humectants help to retain moisture and improve hydration. Alcohol, which includes witch hazel, can be drying. While she was skeptical that these products do much more than refresh and soothe the skin, those with humectants (like rosewater or grape water) or antioxidants like vitamins C and E can have some benefits. So enough of this clinical talk. You should know this is definitely a luxury category. I looked through some local drugstore chains and there were no equivalent yet less expensive versions. The most important question: Do they make you pretty? Using NYC’s recent heat wave as an excuse, I sampled and spritzed to my heart’s content. Click through for the best ones.

| Posted: 15 Jul 2010 02:00 PM PDT  Hopefully Alice doesn't fall down any rabbit holes Temperley London’s sister line, ALICE by Temperley, is one of the latest fashion brands to take over New York’s favorite weekend getaway. The affordable line has a boutique in East Hampton, where they will kick off the Where’s ALICE bike tour this weekend. When we first heard about this bike tour, we were a bit worried it would involve us biking around in 90 degree heat. Thankfully, the bikes will only be ridden by various “guest riders”–girls in ALICE by Temperley looks, handing us frozen treats from People’s Pops and collecting raffle entries for a $1000 ALICE wardrobe. Phew. Wondering how you’ll find the bike? The bike will be rolling through East Hampton, Southampton and Montauk every weekend until Labor Day, when the raffle winner will be announced. If anyone wants to offer up their Hamptons pad one of these weekends so we can frolic and eat popsicles together, hit us up.

| Which One Item of Clothing Would You Keep On Between the Sheets? Posted: 15 Jul 2010 01:00 PM PDT
We don’t really buy it. Sex is about being naked, right? The survey sample size was only 1,563 people anyway. But we decided to have some fun with this and recommend some of the more ridiculous pieces of clothing and accessories to wear during sex. If you must. Here are our picks. What would you keep on?

| Five Things We Can’t Stand About Courtney Love’s Fashion Blog Posted: 15 Jul 2010 11:00 AM PDT
The effect of WhatCourtneyWoreToday.com falls somewhere between the intrigue and horror of watching a train wreck and the mysterious captivation of studying a foreign species. While Ms. Love doesn’t seem to be the primary contributor to the site, her Twitter reveals that she is at least helping–plus we’d recognize that twisted garble of run-on sentences and near-synonyms anywhere. Filled with things you’ll want, things you won’t, and things you just won’t know what to do with (those weird little cartoon illustrations, the phrase “amazeballs”), one thing will be certain: you won’t be able to look away. Provided, of course, that you give a flying-you-know-what about the aging Attentionista. If you do care, dear reader, come along with us as we give you the perfect companion to our earlier stance on Ms. Love: Five Things We Can’t Stand About Courtney’s Fashion Blog.

| Fashion News Roundup: Lindsay’s Timely Magazine Cover, Lourdes is Freaking Out, and Wine-Filled Bras Posted: 15 Jul 2010 10:00 AM PDT
Germans Drool Over Lohan: Lindsay Lohan has been getting obscene amounts of press since her jail sentencing, but this Ellen Von Unwerth-shot German GQ cover was just lucky timing. {GQ Germany} Lady Gaga is in Fact Fragrance-Less, For Now: We are super disappointed to report that Coty has denied rumors of a Lady Gaga fragrance, though it’s bound to happen eventually. {The Cut}
What We Small-Chested Alcoholics Have Been Waiting For: Um, what??? A New Jersey company (I mean really where else would someone come up with/market this?) is selling a bra that can hold up to an entire bottle of wine, which connects to a drinking tube. It’s called the “Wine Rack” (wink wink). The inventor of the product says, “It’s not like one boob fills up and the other goes flat. I made my girlfriend put it on, and she looked good.” I mean, we’ve always, always wanted to look like we’re drinking wine out of our boobs. Didn’t you? {NY Daily News}

| There Must Be Something In Those Angel Wings Posted: 15 Jul 2010 08:02 AM PDT
Doutzen is the seventh Angel to come forward with news of a pregnancy recently, following Adriana Lima, Gisele Bundchen, Heidi Klum, Alessandra Ambrosio, Karolina Kurkova, and Claudia Schiffer. And she will be the seventh to make us feel horrible about ourselves when she almost magically snaps back into pre-baby shape and struts down the runway only weeks later. All of these babies could prove to be profitable for the brand: If Doutzen has a girl, in 20 years she can join Adriana’s, Heidi’s, Claudia’s, and Alessandra’s daughters in a whole new generation of Angels. We wish Doutzen all the best! Here are some of our predictions for the next Victoria’s Secret Angel to welcome a little bundle of joy. Miranda Kerr: She’s engaged to Orlando Bloom, and we won’t be surprised if they waste no time starting a family. And create the most beautiful baby on the planet. Behati Prinsloo: The Namibian stunner has been dating (and currently lives with) fellow model Jamie Strachan for years, and they showcased their love in a recent editorial for the summer issue of i-D magazine. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley: This one might be a little premature. Rosie has been dating actor Jason Statham for a few months now, but with her own acting career on the rise, she might put romance on the backburner.
