Abercrombie Shirtless 'Models' Vote for Their Song of the Summer 2013

          

Everyone's gettin' on board Carly Rae Jespen's "Call Me Maybe" as the song of the Summer, but must the lip synch poorly viral video trend continue( with the exception of Hilary Rhoda, who killed it!)

Song of Summer 2012: My Predictions

Summer has just begun (and based on the little jacket I'm wearing today, is already on vacation) but it's never too early to try to guess what folks will be shimmying to on rooftops and barbecues alike all season long



1. Drake and Rihanna "Take Care"


Slow boiling languid songs are built for Summer laziness, cookouts and convertibles (see: last year's Song of Summer Kelly Rowland "Motivation")







2. Goyte "Somebody That I Used to Know"


I'll be honest, I don't get the appeal of this lesbian coffee shop, hippie jam. Ugh, but it be everywhere.






3. The Wanted "Glad You Came"


Boy bands are back? Well, they never really left the world of British music so no surprise this Brit band is on the scene, but boy if they aren't making a real go of it here in the states.







4. Carly Rae Jespen "Call Me Maybe"


Poppy, addictive little ear worm perfect for gettin' your wiggles out. Just ask Rebecca Minkoff, Hilary Rhoda and Man Repeller who cast their Song of Summer vote with this cheeky little getting ready for the CFDA Awards vid

(Umm.... Hilary Rhoda be real good lip syncer!)

What's y'alls thoughts? What will the song of Summer 2012 be???

This Zara Blazer Really Zips Around Town!

At Housing Work's "Design on a Dime" event last Thursday I admired a fashionable lady's yellow bouclé blazer with zip off bottom panel. She delighted in informing me it was Zara

































Well, now my fellow Maryland-er, model Hilary Rhoda popped up at The Shops at Target party last nite sportin' the same aurulent outerwear

Everyone's got yellow fever !

Thrown a Curve 'Ball'

(Queen of the Universe in and with Oscar de la Renta)

A few weeks ago I wrote how there was none of the usual hype for this year's Costume Institute Ball at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Well where there's no smoke, there's none of that fire. And last nite was in desperate need of a bellow.

(Hilary Rhoda in Prabal Gurung)

(Naomi Campbell in

Dolce +Gabbana)                                       

Ladies, these outfits are weak. This is your moment to give us a giant sartorial bitch slap, Alexis Carrington style. This is more like Amanda Woodward lite.

(Jessica Stam in Rachel Roy)

(Zoe Saldana in Calvin Klein)

                                                               

Things I did like: lots of models present, granted outside Naomi no "supers". Where's Kate? Stephanie? Alek? Karen Elson? Could they smell this stinker a mile away?

(Chanel Iman doin' it in Michael Kors)

And I liked that most guests repped for American designers (again except Naomi. Oh Nomes! Gotta love ya!)

And these usual suspects looked good:

(Chloe Sevigny in Proenza Schouler)

(Nicole Richie in Marc Jacobs)

      

(Rachel Zoe in Marc Jacobs)

(Gwen Stefani in LAMB)

  

And obviously let my US Weekly subscription lapse, cuz when did these two get back together???

(Sienna Miller in Pucci and Jude Law)

But hands down the best look of the evening belongs to:

(Dreamboat Christopher Bailey

and non-descript young'in white girl actress  #4)
