Vuitton’s favorite runway model Georgie Badiel covers Arise Magazine’s May Issue. A few shots of the spread:

Isn’t that first pic a little reminiscent of Naomi Campbell? Gorgeous.

Take a look at the cover:

Has anyone read Arise? Is it any good?

I was over at Glamour’s blog, and came across a good discussion they were having over the definition of plus sized:

In a photo shoot, they featured a woman they called plus sized who was actually a size 10– ‘real sized’ by most standards.

We’ve come across the same discussion before in a Plus Sized Style Spotlight about former ANTMer Toccara.

Readers were upset that we classified her as plus size saying, “Tocarra is NOT a plus size model. Tocarra is like a size 6 haha. She just has big knockers. But Im a big girl and I wear a 16…that’s plus size to us real women.”

Bold and Beautiful said, “I don’t think she is plus size anymore. Just my opinion,” and BRG said, “I don’t see anything plus sized about Toccara.”

In Hollywood, is everyone above a 6 considered ‘plus sized’?

And if that’s the case, aren’t we all plus sized?

Known for things from the cute and quirky perspective, Fredflare.com doesn’t disappoint with this one…

With just the right amount of bling, it’s pretty cute and can go well with just about any day outfit for summer.  You can get this ring for $24 here.

While searching around on Facebook, I came across the Spring/Summer 2009 collection of UK Designer Emmy Collins. After looking at just a few pictures, I realized that Emmy was a veritable talent–one you should definitely know:

Inspired by Jimmy Hendrix, Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Fela Kuti, Lenny Kravitz, and Gwen Stephani, Emmy says his clothes are, “characterized by sharp, funky tailoring and a fresh, startling approach to color.” Take a look:

Channel your inner Sasha Fierce with these boots.

It’s okay.  You can pick your jaw up off the ground now.  But after looking at these, it’s clear to see why it was there in the first place.  With its netted cage and the gold platform, these Pucci stunners are ideal for any glam girl.  They cost $1,085, and you can get them here.

Gimmick: A unique or quirky special feature that makes something “stand out” from its contemporaries. However, the special feature is typically thought to be of little relevance or use.

Stuff Fly People Like recently published a photo of stylista Lady Gaga who has taken to carrying around a teacup as a fashion accessory:

An obvious gimmick, the teacup has no functional purpose and is simply a cry for attention!

I recently spotted a 16-year-old girl on the metro with a pacifier in her mouth . She was way past the age for pacifiers and had to remove it to speak–the epitome of an attention grabbing gimmick.

Have you ever fallen victim?
