Vanity Fair‘s annual Hollywood issue has arrived (here’s a larger version), and I’m too distracted by Olivia Wilde’s gown to even begin to address why Rashida Jones would be bottle-feeding an animal and Robert Duvall is serving as bartender. Does Wilde have an amazing body? Yes. But should she be wearing a gown that makes January Jones’ Golden Globes dress seem reserved? No. I think we need to band together now to stop these suspender-bodice gowns from becoming an epidemic. (Assuming enough people with bodies like Wilde and Jones actually exist to make that even a figurative possibility.) If a gown just barely covers your nipple, you should not be wearing it.

Casual maxi dresses seem to come and go, but with the resurgence of 70’s fashion for Spring and Summer 2011, they are really going to be on trend this season.

Over the years I have written about casual maxi dresses several times and my perception is unchanged. I vote nay. I just can’t get my head around an ankle length dress for a casual ensemble.

Hi! I was trying to tidy up a bit in my sewing room when I found the bottoms of some pant legs I’d chopped off to make shorts & a scrap of blue fabric I’d had for years… The pant legs looked like they would almost fit me around as a skirt but I already have 4 black minis! So I added a triangle of the blue (which is actually much more bright&vibrant than my pics show!) to the centre front. Then out of a small scrap left over I made a removable bow to add to a black thrifted top I’d previously refashioned to make a cute outfit…

Businessday reports that South African Football Association (Safa) CEO Leslie Sedibe confirmed yesterday that sports equipment and apparel manufacturers Puma would be unveiled as the new sponsors of Bafana Bafana, which will be decked out in the new strip when they host Burkina Faso on February 9.

After their 12-year relationship with Adidas ended acrimoniously last month , Safa appeared to be struggling to secure a replacement and faced the embarrassing possibility of having to go back to the German company for a jersey handout before the Burkina Faso encounter.

We all know Kate Moss as our British Queen of style. (Or is that Victoria Beckham?) Never-the-less, Kate’s been spotted in some less than impressive ensembles lately. Causing panic amongst her keen fashion followers!

But fear not fans! The Kate Moss that we know and love is back, and she’s on top form. Dressed in a masculine black and white three piece suit, accessorised with black opaque tights and knee high leather boots, she looked chic as she left the Ritz Hotel in Paris. It follows a succession of celebrities accessorising their red carpet outfits with black tights, at the comedy awards, over the weekend. It Full Article…
