Lily Collins' Glamour Shots

(Making that Dior sing, honey!) 

Umm, Phil Collins' daughter know how to work a camera, honey

Boring lady celebs who just stand there in their obligatory fashion editorials? 






Take note!

















***That Pucci cape shot in the rotating door is Audrey Hepburn romantic comedy everything! 

Whose Instagram Do You Follow?

In addition to the usual fashion fare (Barney's, Kirna Zabete, Colette, etc) and models / fashion folk (Coco Rocha, Steven Kolb, Kate Spade New York, etc) 

I also check in with Pantone for the freshest take in color, Peter Som for runway, recipes and relaxation 











And, of course, Rihanna. Because that B puts her whole life on Instagram blast. Seriously, does she not have a handler for that???







If you aren't already, you should follow ME! 

Instagram handle: macsmith1218   (Yeah i thought long and hard on that one)  

Everyone Wants to Get Their Tentacles on Some Pucci, Honey!

Estée Lauder Mad Men Collection: Too Pretty for Words

You'll never lose this compact, honey! 

Estée Lauder's limited edition three piece collection launches today and is the second makeup collection inspired by the hit AMC show "Mad Men". 

Make like January Jones or Christina Hendricks in Nail Lacquer in 'Pink Paisley,' See Thru Blush in 'Light Snow,' and Rich, Rich Lipstick in 'Pinkadelic' . 

Perfect vintage wardrobe sold separately. 

MET Ball Throwdown

Uninspired comedians (here's looking at you, Chelsea) may toss around the tired trope of The Oscars being the super bowl of the gays, but for my money, The MET Ball brings all the boys to the yard.



THE GOOD

(Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Burberry)

A Lurex and Aqua Net wonder of 60's, Anglomania references

(Carey Mulligan in Prada) 

A bit Paco Rabanne, non? J'adore ca. 

(China Chow in Jean Paul Gaultier Haute couture)

My vote for best dressed. But then Ms, Chow is not unfamiliar with that accolade. 

THE BAD

(Kirsten Dunst in Rodarte)

Why did she go all Money Penny here? 

(Anja Rubik in Anthony Vaccarello)

You're a model and you have a perfect body that you work hard to maintain, honey, we get it. But that's a lot of skin to be showing when Rosie Hunt's complete covered up. 

(Beyoncé in Givenchy Haute Couture)

Umm... no. And shame on Givenchy for making this MACY's meets Carnivale look. 

THE UGLY

(Rennee Zellweger in Pucci)

Why must she always make that snot face. Ugh. 

And to cleanse the palate...

THE SEXY

(Swizz Beats in Givenchy)

Man, he fills a suit out well. Oh yeah, Alicia Keys be there too. I guess. 

Three Makes it a Trend: Berry Formal

(Emma Stone in luscious Lanvin)

Funny thing about celebrity stylists is they work from a very skewed calendar. There's always this race to get the latest or to make sure your client doesn't repeat a designer look, so clothes tend to be pulled from seasons ahead. In theory last nite's Golden Globes should have been a grand review of trends that will be hitting retail for Spring 2012.


Of course, the upcoming yellows and green color trends were represented but there was also a push for wintry maroons

Viola Davis was perfection in a pinot Pucci

Even host Ricky Gervais vamped in vermilion 

So my question now is, was this a gemtone last hurrah or will there be a Springtime rubicund rush? 

Taylor Swift Didn't Wear a White Virginal Doily Dress

News at 11! 10pm even! 

(Let me see your peacock!) 

I'm no longer the age group that is being courted by the pop market, so far be it from me to try to talk too in-depth about who Taylor Swift is, but darlin' when was the last time you saw her veer from her go to shrouds of vir-gin? 

Well color me inaccurate!

And it takes a real "proper" kinda gal to make a Pucci like this not read "Comes with the Villa" Italian slut. 

Meanwhile, what even is the BMI country music awards? Sounds like a sh**ty evening. 

Please Paris, No More Midriffs

(Y-3)

Paris fashion week is here and I beg that the regrettable recent return of the midriff in New York, London and Milan is ne'er spotted in Paris.

Only Cher could ever make these looks sparkle but that was the 70's and Bob Mackie

(Anna Sui)

(Roberto Cavalli)

(Marc Jacobs)

(House of Holland)

(VPL)

And the decidedly more 2000's/ Britney Spears vibe definitely DOES NOT work either

(Jeremy Laing)

(Roberto Cavalli again)

(Jonathan Saunders)

(Y-3 again)

(Pucci)

Bad, bad, bad. 

Paris, I can only hope you'll deliver some serious Mode in a season that seems much more focused on the Depeche.
