Gap won’t tell you who to vote for and neither will we, but they do have a new T-shirt that’s easily customizable if you’d like to be a bit louder with your politics!
The Vote T, $15, features the words “vote for” and a blank line that Gap suggests filling in with things like love, peace, music, laughter, etc. Or you can leave it blank and just let it speak for voting itself!
There are also “vote for” buttons for your Facebook page, click here to take a look. (And hey, while you’re on Facebook, join our blog network!)

Okay, so we know that being the style-savvy folks that you are, you have already seen the full line from Comme des Garçons for H&M. But have you seen the actual lookbook… eh? No relief has come in terms of the prices – which have been said to be ridiculously high. So we’re kind of hoping the blogosphere backlash will have them rethinking some of them. For now, sit back and enjoy our gallery of images courtesy of Rei Kawakubo’s forthcoming collection for the retailer – oh, and don’t forget to tell us what you think by leaving your comments.

If you’re spending any of your evenings outdoors you’ve probably already started pulling out your hoodies, and our surfer sisters over at Nollie have some new ones for you to check out as well.
The finest seller of action sports apparel on the web, Blue Tomato have just got a fresh new batch of autumn (aka fall) threads in for your delectation. (if the prices come up in British pounds, just click on change currency to get them in US dollars.) One of the most extensive ranges online, I’m especially stoked with their huge selection of hoodys; bright, light and tight these’ll keep you toasty when the September cold kicks in.
For more on surf, skate, snow and style, check out Nollie.

New Fashions, New York Fashion Week - Runway
By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on September 15th, 2008
Click images to enlarge.
Now that the madness of New York Fashion Week has ended, I have a bit more time to contemplate what I saw walking down the runways. Florals were big again for spring, but there were fewer romantic gardens and more modern, artistic looks. I loved the long brushstroke stripe-y feel of the prints at Rodarte, Michael Angel and Diane von Furstenberg, above. While Kate and Laura Mulleavy used their swirling colors to create movement and add shape to stunning effect at Rodarte, Michael Angel’s watercolors were my favorites. The fluidity of the print gives the fluidity of the fabric an extra oomph, making it more chic than boho. Sure, a hippy-chick might wear these shapes, but she’s no flower child living in a van. She has a more meticulous, cultivated look. Diane von Furstenberg’s prints were just perfect for a party, they look fun and easy. Just what you want after being released from winter’s layers.
To see how desigers rethought florals for 09, keep reading. Also, to see more pics and a review of each collection, click on that designer’s name.

We showed you Hollywould’s ready-to-wear collection yesterday and now we’re back with what the brand is really known for – shoes. (Bags, too!) You’ll see some of the muted pastels and sea-inspired hues of the clothing line, but more brights and variety.

I ran up to the Hollywould showroom this morning in between shows to check out their clothes and accessories for spring 2009. Here’s a gallery of their cool, chic ready-to-wear line and I’ll have more on the shoes and bags later (in a rush to go backstage at Chris Benz in a bit). I really liked the color combinations and fabrics used in this line, I found it to be very wearable and summery. It was one of the first collections that really had me in the mood to keep dressing for warm weather – we’re definitely having it in New York!
VIEW THE GALLERY BY CLICKING ON THE IMAGE BELOW – and then let us know what you loved/hated in the comments.

Coincidentally, I was watching a self-created “Life in the Fab Lane” marathon on demand when this preview picture of Kimora Lee Simmons’ Fabulosity line for J.C. Penney popped up on my screen.
“The Fabulosity girl is fun, fashionable and chic, but she doesn’t want to spend her last penny on something to wear,” Simmons said. “This collection is fashionable, but also affordable. The days of spending tons on clothes are gone — I mean, I still do it, but young girls can’t.”

It seems enough time has passed since “Dukes of Hazzard” for the fashionable to take their cut off jean shorts out of the drawer again. Or, I guess when you receive all the brand new designer jeans you could want for free every season, you can just take the scissors to last season’s pairs. Ah, a girl can dream.

If you thought the Sass & Bide Black Rats leggings were hard to wear, you’ve got another thing coming with these L.A. legs pants by DimePiece Designs for only $70.
While we don’t think we’d see Whitney in these, we’re sure someone inspired by the fictional Ms. Carrie Bradshaw’s recent reblossoming onto the fashion scene might give them a try.
We can see some conversation starters with “you are here” stickers and guys asking for directions south either plaguing or pleasing you, depending on your taste. (You know, whether you’re a Charlotte or a Samantha.)
