Kate Moss New Favorite Boots: UGGs
I cannot think my eyes! Literally! Fashion’s golden model, Kate Moss (who is, coincidentally also on Vogue UK’s cover this month) has been recently photographed out and about wearing an interesting pair of black boots. The boots in query look oddly equivalent to a pair of UGG boots. You know, the type of boots banned by all style standards from fashionista’s wardrobes! Kate Moss approved the UGGs! Yaaay! tDM
Here’s What Happened at Kanye West’s Show Today, Plus the First Review Is In
We weren’t at Kanye West’s show right now, but in this age of Twitter, you virtually don’t have to be anyplace anymore–just follow a couple of properly-placed people and you are all set. Plus it is enjoyable to piece it all together, sort of like a scavenger hunt.
So, here goes:
Looks on Campus: Paulina – Loyola Marymount University
I first spotted Paulina whilst I was outside of St. Robert’s Hall getting a cup of coffee. On an uncharacteristically cold and cloudy day in Los Angeles, when several girls reached for Uggs and sweatpants, Paulina stood out in her bright red tights and adorable matching ensemble. Between her thick knitted sweater, chambray shirtdress, vintage inspired necklace, and dainty ribbon pumps, I knew she was the ideal candidate for College Fashion’s Looks on Campus.

Quoted: The Sartorialist
Hey if Scott Schuman says they’re OK, then it may well be time to break out your Uggs. The Sartorialist put up a few pictures of fashionable New Yorkers wearing the Australian shearling boots and provided a couple of suggestions for wearing them out in public. Do you agree?
Middle School Bans Uggs Because of Their Smuggling Capacity
Efficient nowadays, a middle school in Pottstown, Pennsylvania (a location you just might be familiar with if you’ve ever gotten lost looking for the Philadelphia Premium Outlet Mall), has banned students from wearing Uggs and other furry boots to class. The reason? Students were smuggling cell phones in the fuzzy recesses of their footwear and then texting at their desks, which is against the guidelines. The school does permit students to put on boots and bring phones to school, but they have to leave each items in their lockers during the day. Parents have already complained about the new rule to neighborhood newspaper the Pottstown Mercury, but it appears like the school district most likely has larger difficulties at stake, like the prospect of banning pockets.

There’s no arguing that celebrities have an enormous influence when it comes to fashion—how else to explain the Olsens-powered boho-chic look of the aughts or the recent obsession with all things Kate Middleton? But when it comes to spotting trends, how astute are the stars sitting front row at the runway shows themselves? To find out, we polled a handful of big-names at the start of New York Fashion Week to get their predictions for spring ’12. With the week over, we’ve reviewed their guesses with the trends that actually emerged. Here’s how they stacked up:
7 Great Online Classified Sites
Think Craigslist is the only online classified site out there? We’ve done a little digging and, lo and behold, there are other options. While it’s true that classifieds are not exactly a top source for fashion items (actually, we wouldn’t really recommend them as a source at all) but we also know your budget shopping savvy doesn’t stop at Misses Department. You buy other stuff right? Or, in this economy, perhaps you have some stuff to unload and need a reputable place to advertise? Either way, you’ll need to get the lowdown first, and here it is:
Craigslist.org. We thought we’d just get this one out of the way right off the bat. Craigslist is to classifieds what eBay is to auction sites. Looking for a big response? Craigslist probably is your best bet. Of course the biggest site will likely also attract the biggest number of kooks (we’ve all heard the stories). So screen with care.
Angieslist.com. Shopping for services instead of goods? Angie’s List has become a popular site for consumers seeking reputable service-providers (landscapers, plumbers, etc.), which is understandable since everyone has some kind of horror story about the handyman who came and tore up the bathroom ceiling only to never to be seen again (or maybe that’s just Angela). The drawback? Good advice here isn’t free—you’ll pay a sign-up fee and montly charge (or you can opt to pay for a year at a time).
