  • Marc Jacobs: Channelling Andy Warhol
    Marc Jacobs is something of a fashionista’s darling. His shows are notoriously impossible to get into and he’s always at the trendsetting forefront. Even when he seems to make a misstep (I’m thinking those sheer trousers from his Selma Blair, in an MJ ensemble).

  • Style Crush: Ashlee Simpson
    Okay, I am admitting this with great reluctance, but … I really like Ashlee Simpson’s style. This is frustrating to me, because I’m not entirely sure what she does (the lip-synching snafu of a few years ago proves that she receives some, um, assistance), and she’s just a little too ooey-gooey with Pete Wentz.

  • Copycat: Minnetonka vs Jessica Simpson
    So, I get that imitation is the highest form of flattery, but I can’t imagine the people at Minnetonka Moccasin company being overly pleased with Jessica Simpson at the moment.
