| Oprah’s Favorite Fashion Things, Then and Now Posted: 24 Nov 2010 03:00 PM PST
Oprah‘s final “Favorite Things” episode aired this past week. If you haven’t watched the crowd reactions already, you should (or check out audience reactions from the whole last season on this awesome tumblr). Everyone went nuts. Of course, if I was being gifted a 2012 Volkswagon Beetle, an iPad, and some Le Creuset cookware, I’d be doing a happy dance too. Having your product on Oprah‘s “Favorite Things” things list is akin to having your book chosen for her book club–meaning it will sell. And often, Oprah’s favorite stuff is beauty and fashion-related (but the fashion tends to be on the comfort-end–nothing wrong with that). Previously Oprah-endorsed favorite things like Spanx and Uggs became ubiquitous best-sellers after earning a spot on the “Favorite Things” list, according to AOL’s Small Business site. Her “Favorite Things” episode has even saved some companies from the brink of bankruptcy. So we decided to take a look at this year’s fashion and beauty-related “favorite things” as well as “favorite things” of years past (yes, J.Lo’s velour sweatsuit was on the list in ’02). Are any of them your favorite things too? Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

I like to cook, but my other half loves to cook. And he’s not lazy about it, which means my responsibilities are few and far between. That is, except for Thanksgiving dinner. I love cooking on America’s holiday because I learned the recipes from my grandma, with whom I was very close. I also love it because it’s the only major holiday I can think of that’s not about buying anything except food and booze. But if you do like to shop–and cook–then consider this: You don’t have to look like crap in the kitchen. Anthropologie makes some adorable aprons, and your kitchen clogs can be prettier than Crocs. Oh, and keeping your hair away from the food doesn’t require mesh netting. Try some cute kitchen accouterments so that you don’t even have to change when the guests arrive.

| Seven Questions for Alternative Apparel’s Mollie Culligan Posted: 24 Nov 2010 01:15 PM PST
We’re pretty keen on Alternative Apparel’s sturdy basics, but it’s always nice when a knitwear brand moves further into wovens and other markets–it means they’re ready to impress the masses. So it’s no surprise that Mollie Culligan, AA’s new(ish) accessories director, is pretty impressive herself. Culligan, the founder and designer of mid-market handbag line Jack Rabbit is giving Alternative’s accessories section a decidedly ’90s feel–think white-washed denim, fringe–to match the grunge-tinged knits and wovens. We recently chatted with Mollie about where she’s been, what she’s up to, and what’s next. Fashionista: What did you do before Alternative Apparel?

We already heard about the amazing Rodarte costumes for Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan. According to Lauren’s review of the ballet thriller (out nationwide December 3), the costumes–Swarovski encrusted tutus and spider web-y warm up knits–nearly upstage the stellar, not to mention creepy, performances by stars Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis. But just how they got their bodies into ballerina shape is another story. Kunis, who lost 20 lbs. for her role, told People mag that she “looked like Gollum from Lord of the Rings! … Everything was just protruding.” Though Portman had some ballet experience (she gave up the barre at 13), she trained for six months before filming, putting in five hours a day, six days a week. And while it might seem Portman already had the perfect body to play a ballerina, she needed to work on her thighs. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

Are you a fabulous jet-setter or wanderlusting backpacker with inspirational travel stories to tell? If so, Massimiliano Giornetti, creative director of Salvatore Ferragamo, wants to hear them, and your travelogue might inspire a one-of-a-kind Ferragamo W bag. The iconic W bag is named after the company’s matriarch, Wanda Ferragamo, and is decidedly travel-inspired. "For the Resort 2011 collection I drew heavily from the Mediterranean and the new jet set crowd that holidays on the coast," Massimiliano Giornetti said in a release. "I'm always curious to know what inspires others and how their sources of inspiration affect their daily lives and style choices. With the technology of today, the W List was created to share stories that inspire ourselves and inspire others digitally as we travel the globe at a second's thought."

Royal Mistake or Royal History? The designer of this dress that Kate Middleton was wearing in a fashion show when Prince William first saw her, which we have to say is pretty ugly and a bit slutty, might be worth £100,000 at this point, but the designer “probably” won’t sell it. “She looked fabulous in my dress and I think she could become a style icon like Princess Diana – so the dress could become part of fashion history,” she said. She also said she would love to design Kate’s wedding dress. We really hope not. {Daily Mail} eBay Gets Royal: Within a week of Kate and Wills’ engagement announcement, the number of Ebay items with the terms “Kate Middleton” and “Prince William” has increased dramatically. If your interest in British royals borders on obsession, there is plenty of memorabilia to be found, including mouse pads, thimbles and wedding ring replicas. {Inside Source} Dress Code: Apparently school isn’t the only place where miniskirts can be banned. The city council of Castellammare di Stabia, a sea town close to Naples, has approved a bylaw to ban micro-minis. {WWD subscription required} Turning Japanese: Marc Jacobs is on the cover of Numéro Tokyo’s Jan/Feb 2011 issue, dressed modestly in a black shirt and pants. {Fashion Copious} Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Black Friday Sales We Might Actually Leave the House For Posted: 24 Nov 2010 07:57 AM PST
I’m not exactly writhing in anticipation over Black Friday. Personally, the combination of waking up early, crowds, tourists and waiting in line makes me want to die. I could barely handle Fashion’s Night Out and that was at night, with alcohol. I mean, sure a DVD player for 90% off sounds awesome, but I don’t think I’ll ever stand in a line at four in the morning and risk physical injury for one. However, 50% off Alexander Wang might make me reconsider. So, here are a few Black Friday sales that might actually be worth checking out. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.
