Final Thoughts on Fashion Week, Fall 2011 | YouLookFab

Well Fashion Week is over! As you noticed, I didn't say much about it - far too busy with my real life to try to view all the collections!

But the fabulous Ms. Angie of YouLookFab gives her summary of the week, breaking down the trends she picked up. Except for the tapered trousers (WHY, WHY!) they sound very friendly to the 50+ gal! As a bonus, she has links to her posts of her fav collections.

Enjoy!

WWD’s Bridget Foley Is Sick Of Playing The Weight Blame Game | Styleite

WWD’s Bridget Foley Is Sick Of Playing The Weight Blame Game | Styleite

Love Styleite's replies to yet another "The Fashion World can't be held accountable for model's weight issues" whine.

And Styleite points out something that I've felt all along - that designers SHOULD be able to design for a wide range of sizes, ages and body types. My personal feeling on this is that many designers, especially "high" fashion ones, are either just plain lazy - or too lacking in talent to do so.

And yes Fashion world - if you continue to demand that these under-age girls you trick out as adults be thinner and thinner because the designer hasn't got the skill to design for anything other than a stick - you ARE responsible for the health concerns that result! So STFU about being blamed - or act like real adults, step up to the plate and stop your behavior that feeds this madness!

Hermes Sues Thursday Friday For Using Birkin Bag Image (PHOTOS, POLL)

Hermes Sues Thursday Friday For Using Birkin Bag Image (PHOTOS, POLL)

As if consumers are SOOO stupid that they will "confuse" a canvas tote bag with a pic of a Birkin for a real Birkin! But I love the irony since the Birkin is just an admittedly beautiful, but glorified tote itself!

Get over yourself Hermes! It's a joke! Jezzze! :-/

By the by...

Here's a link to the bag in question...I think it's cute and definitely makes me smile!
