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???

Three Makes it a Trend: Handkerchief Hem

(DKNY)

I was gonna label this a DON'T post since handkerchief hems are soooo 1999, 

(Rebecca Minkoff)

but I guess this style's back along with a lot of other cheap and cheerfuls

I don't know, but then again as a wise woman once said

"I'm getting a little too old for that 'whorey' look"

Put Everything You Can Think Of Into Your Minkoff

At the Fame/Moda trade show I covered Monday I spoke with an editor of Accessories Magazine whom I noticed was carrying a conspicuously light load. "How does she do it," I thought to myself sliding off my large backpack full of look books and line sheets to have a spot of lunch. Then I notice her chic little studded Rebecca Minkoff cross-body bag and saw my opener

Me: I love your Rebecca Minkoff

She: Thanks. Me too and it's surprisingly roomy. I have all the business cards of every booth in here

and then she unzipped it showcasing the punky little bag's python-like ability to swallow up a U-Haul of contact information

Sleek and vacuous?

Minkoff, you think of everything!
