Blake Lively covers Vogue, LeBron covers GQ

For its February cover, the Fashion Bible (Vogue) made the controversial choice to feature Gossip Girl starlet, Blake Lively. Lucky bish! Vogue spokesman Patrick O’Connell, explained the choice by saying, “She’s the girl of the moment who also has a hit show that people watch as much for the fashion as for the show itself.”

Not everyone is as excited about it as Patrick. There are mumblings that Vogue is “stooping” to put an up and comer like Blake in such a prestigious position, while some guess that they are doing whatever they can to stay relevant amidst the folding of many magazines in recent months.

I can say that Blake looks absolutely ravishing on the cover...I hardly recognized her. According to Anna Wintour, they opted to give Blake “a makeover that transformed the sporty all-American girl into a polished bombshell.” Well done. I love the styling of this shoot! The cuff on the cover is divine, and I'm also feeling the retro vibe of both the jumpsuit and the bathing suit.

In other news, LeBron James is looking all kinds of yummy on the cover of February's GQ. He's only 24? My goodness, give him a few more years to marinate and he will be fully seasoned and ready for devouring! Posing in a slate grey suit, pink shirt and grey tie, this was LeBron's first cover for GQ. He was also the first black male to ever appear on the cover of Vogue. Take that, Blake Lively!

The CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards Gala

On Monday night in New York, the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund had it's fifth annual gala, designer Alexander Wang took top honors (winning $200,000 and a year's worth of mentoring), and the fashionistas were out to celebrate it all.

Charlize Theron is definitely deserving of my top honors for the night, after making a chic arrival in black strapless Christian Dior Fall 2008 Couture with sequin draping and a sheer skirt. Loving the studded sandals too!

I almost spit out my Hot Toddy when I came across this picture. One moment I'm enjoying the lusciousness of Charlize in this dress and all of a sudden a mystery elf appears. So jarring! But no worries, punkins, it's just John Galliano (of Dior, darling) who was there as the keynote speaker of the event. Yes, he dresses like this all the time and no, that's no excuse.

Everyone's model of the moment, Agyness Deyn, showed up in a suit, hat, bra and ferocious red platforms by Alejandro Ingelmo.

Hot girl Chanel Iman chose a more masculine tailored suit from the Daughters by Obedient Sons Fall 2008 Collection. The black fur stole nicely completes her look.

Tennis goddess Maria Sharapova rocked a chocolate brown mini dress (that almost looks like a tennis dress) and strappy sandals.

Juliette Lewis shined in a belted, silver-sequined 3.1 Phillip Lim jumpsuit, which I would totally love to own. I'd wear it everywhere until it fell apart at the seams and then I'd turn it into the gayest throw pillow ever.

Jennifer Morrison (I don't know who she is either) chose a black and white Giambattista Valli Spring 2009 princess dress. Cute.

Aha! Blake Lively! I know her! But what praytell is she wearing? I'm disappointed. All the fabulous fashion at her fingertips and she chooses an unflattering Vena Cava Fall 2007 maxi dress. You live, you learn.



Fashion designer Tory Burch posed in a gold and black velvet YSL Fall 2008 dress and grey clutch. Hmmm, something here is not quite right. And I think it's the dress. It seems to be overshadowing her. Darling, never let a dress wear you!

Erin Fetherson wore a floral maxi dress from her own Fall 2008 collection. The boots are not working for me. Matter of fact, neither is the dress.

Hey Vera! Ms. Wang wore her signature bare face, a beautifully detailed dress and navy shrug. I like.


The loveable Diane von Furstenberg wore a sequined original from her own Fall 2008 collection, featuring a fun feathered hem.

Model Coco Rocha made her black Gucci Resort 2009 dress look even more ethnic by accessorizing with a gold turban.



Anna, Anna, Fabulous Anna, Anna Wintour, she's so outrageous! Here she is wearing a printed top and skirt from the Marni Spring 2009 collection. Nice tights. Her daughter, Bee Schaffer looks young and fresh in a Thakoon Spring 2009 frock and nude sandals.


Mr. Vogue himself, Andre Leon Talley, arrived in his signature ALT style. Would you expect anything less?

Model Doutzen Kroes wore one of Herve Leger's practically legendary banded dresses with a stunning necklace.

Liya Kebede looks beat. Yikes, what happened, boo?

Thanks RCFA for pics and links!

A Fall Classic: Knee-High Boots

Fall is one of the hardest seasons to dress for, but with the help of that one special piece, you can always be ready for the unpredictable weather. The Fall fix? Boots! Right now, booties are all the rage, but a knee-high boot will forever be ultra-classic. Celebs like Hayden Panettiere and Blake Lively have adopted the look and of course our favorite fashionista, Rihanna, has made it one of her staples...



High boots are just so versatile! They can be worn with leggings and jeans for the more mundane mamas of the world, but for us divas who like a little attention, shorts paired with boots can knock the socks off a crisp day. Try pairing your boots with tweed shorts, wool tights and a great jacket. Another great look is a mini skirt with patterned stockings and boots, and even a dress with a scarf and boots will do the trick! I must say, all this talk has me looking forward to the decrease in degrees. If you want the look of the season, try these on for size:

Ann Taylor $248

The Frye Company $288

Dr. Martens $140

Bakers $89.99

And for those of us who can't fathom living without our heels, try these:

Urban Outfitters $178

Urban Outfitters $88

The Frye Company $398

Fly Jane $57.90
