The fashion blogosphere is literally in a tizzy over the Comme des Garcons for H&M Collection. Why? Exorbitant Prices:
Now $350 for a dress is a lot for H&M, but apparently a low ball price for Comme des Garcons. On the bright side, this might calm down all the fighting endemic to H&M designer sales. Remember this?

Seems Project Runway is on hiatus for the time being…
According to an NBC Press Release, “NBC Universal is pleased that the court granted our motion for a preliminary injunction against The Weinstein Company. The overwhelming evidence demonstrated that The Weinstein Company violated NBC Universal’s right of first refusal to future cycles of Project Runway. After hearing all of the evidence, the court issued an order prohibiting The Weinstein Company from taking the show or any spin-off to Lifetime.”
Hm, sad news, though I must say that I’m kind’ve over these reality shows that are great for TV, but don’t produce any real stars in their industry. Remember this NY Magazine article on the stars of Bravo?
From the article, “With shows like Project Runway and Top Chef, the Bravo cable channel skillfully packages the fantasy that gifted amateurs can break into the big time. But make no mistake: It is a fantasy.” Read the article here.

Here’s a video for your rainy Friday:

Have great weekends!

It’s a rainy, fall friday. Booooooo!
Hopefully these Mail Bombs will lift your spirits!
First Edonna says, “I love the shoes that Sanaa is wearing!”
“…Can you please assist???“
Sanaa is wearing the look of the season: open toe boots. Try these for a similar look:
1. Jeffrey Campbell Half Boot with Open Toe, $190. 2. L.A.M.B. Portman Open Toe Bootie, $320. 3. Kors Michael Kors Open Toe Ankle Bootie, $320. 4. Steven by Steve Madden Midory Ankle Boot, $150.
Next Fattina says, “Can you PLEASE let me know who designed the studded booties that Kim Kardashian wore while shopping at H&M?“
Kim might like affordable fashion, but she loves expensive shoes! She’s rocking these $1,075 Guiseppe Zanotti Crystal Stud Suede Booties…
…get ’em from Intermix.
Mona Lisa says, “I really do love the “Glam Punk Rock”look (which Rihanna pulls off very well)...”
“…I want to give it a try but I don’t know where to begin! Can you help me??”
Adriana says, “What’s great about the glam rock look is that it’s easy to piece together with a few basic things (boots, graphic tees, skinny jeans) that are probably sitting in your closet right now. Here’s a head-to-toe look that’s fall-ready, easy to mix and match with other pieces in your wardrobe, and just a fraction of the cost of what Rihanna probably spends:”
1. Sequined Vest from Forever 21, $16. 2. MTV Zebra T from Delia’s, $26.50. 3. Leather Cuff Bracelet from Urban Outfitters, $20. 4.Marciano Liquid Skinny Pant, $128. 5. Steve Madden Grind Boots in Black Suede, $200. 6. Axcess Medallion Necklace, $13.
In another Rihanna Mail Bomb, Kimmoy says, “I know people are probably tired of seeing Rihanna, but this fall look is fabulous!“
“How can I look as fly, but not hurt the pocket like Rihanna in this red, white, and black number?“
Adriana found these fall ready yet affordable items:
1.525 America High-Collar Long Military Jacket, $118.50. 2. Gap Wool-blend Shirred Yoke Skirt, $36.99. 3. Forever 21 Checker Plaid Scarf, $6.50. 4. Forever 21 Gradated Sunglasses, $6.80. 5. Old Navy Women’s Opaque Black Tights, $6.50
Lastly, in a Male Mail Bomb Ololade says, “I wanted to know where I could get Gold Rope chains like the ones Nas has been rocking lately…”
Adriana found that Patricia Field has what you need! Get this Dookie Rope Chain for $120…
…at www.patriciafield.com.
With that I’m off!
Try to stay dry this weekend!
Smootches!

In even more Rihanna news, seems the material girl is launching her own clothing line…
She told WWD in Milan, “I’m not one to rush into anything. I want to take my time…I can’t say when it will be released, but it’s definitely going to happen.” Hmh. There’s a big line between knowing how to wear designer clothes well and making your own. I’ll have to see how I feel about this one. Would you wear Rihanna’s label? [WWD]

Don’t forget to send in pix of you rocking for Barack!

Puma is partnering with Sergio Rossi to create a collection…
WWD reports, “A design team at Sergio Rossi reinterpreted Puma’s iconic Clyde sneaker, which originally made its debut in 1973, including a high-heeled mary jane model with Velcro straps and a lace-up pump in a range of colors.” Um, pass. [WWD]
