By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on August 11th, 2008
There’s a summer sale going on over at IntermixOnline, and we spotted these Stella McCartney floral ankle wrap platform sandals for $259, more than half off!
There are quite a few Stella accessories included in the sale, though the best selection seems to be (predictably) in swim.
Speaking of Stella McCartney, though, click over to Catwalk Queen to read about the ethical designer’s reaction to a bra from her collection being used in a fur ad!

YouTube watch: a preview of IMG and Vogue’s new model reality show
By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on August 11th, 2008
As Fashionista reminds us, it’s only two weeks until the debut of IMG and Vogue’s reality-tv venture Model. Live on Vogue.tv. We like the softer, more inspirational feel of the show from this preview. It looks like it will offer a break from the “Fashion! Fierce! Give me more you FABULOUS glamazon!” mood of most fashion reality shows.
Editor’s note: The video was taken down today, but you can still view it here.

Olympic fashion fever!
By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on August 11th, 2008
We might not be what you’d call sporty, but we are what you might call girly. And watching gymnastics and horse shows and checking out boys in swimsuits is totally girly! And so we’re loving the Olympics.
On the fashion front, we first have the US Olympic team in their Ralph Lauren uniforms at the opening ceremonies in Beijing. We like them, they’re dapper, but they’re a little masculine. We’d ask for skirts for the women, but then we’re sure they’d be the dowdy office lady skirts all the other teams were wearing. But maybe some of the female athletes could be given a blow-out beforehand next time? Some of those chickies looked like they just hopped out of the pool.

It looks like Jewel and her rodeo champ boyfriend Ty Murray eloped Monday night! The couple wed in the Bahamas at The Cove Atlantis.
She wore a traditional wedding gown, while Ty wore his favorite blue jeans, white shirt and cowboy hat,” Jewel’s rep told People magazine. “The couple is very happy and look forward to enjoying their honeymoon.”
Guess we should have guessed when Ty co-stared in Jewel’s latest country music video, “I do.”

By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on August 8th, 2008
Camila Alves showed L.A. her new handbag line, MUXO, with boyfriend Matthew McConaughey at her side.
The line, co-designed by Alves’ mother, is tribal inspired with details like worn leather finishes, lots of fringe and emblazoned logos.
“Camila wanted to do something special and unique with her mother, so they combined their talents and created MUXO. Each bag is one of a kind and literally hand-crafted by the two of them, so there’s a strong sense of love and quality in each piece,” a representative for Alves told Fashion Week Daily.
The collection of travel bags, handbags and clutches ranges from $450 to $1,350. Twenty percent of sales goes towards the Stand Up To Cancer charity.

By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on August 8th, 2008
From Catwalk Queen: We know he likes his reality telly, but it appears Michael Kors also can’t get enough of teen dramas – in particular, one Gossip Girl. And like he did with American Idol earlier this year, the designer popped over in person to the set to get in amongst it…

Sneak peek of Rachel Zoe’s new reality show
By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on August 7th, 2008
From Catwalk Queen: There seems to be a love her/hate her divide surrounding celeb-stylist Rachel Zoe. Famed for dressing the Hollywood It-girl fash pack in a uniform of big sunnies, big dresses and even bigger bags (and all on incredibly tiny frames), the identikit thing all really hit the fan when Nicole Richie fired Zoe back in 2006 for what she called “promoting unhealthy body images”.

We sorted through the cleavage bearing frocks and super minis of Victoria’s Secret’s new dress salon to find a few more sophisticated looks.
With pleats and tucking and seams in all the right places and fabrics like silk charmeuse, these dresses don’t look like they hover around the $100 mark – which they all do.

Amanda Peet celebrates cover of Gotham Magazine with Sarah Paulson
By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on August 7th, 2008
Amanda Peet was out in about in New York without hubbie David Benioff. But it looks like pal Sarah Paulson was happy to keep Peet company for the evening at the Plaza Hotel to celebrate Peet’s Gotham Magazine cover.
She also had the company of the designer of her dress, Thakoon Panichgul.
“She chopped it off by like six inches! It was longer, and it looks amazing,” he said. “She loves to wear short things.”
On fashion week a mere month away Panichgul said “I don’t know if it’s excitement. But it’s something!”

Designer Pick of the Week: LaROK crystal tee
By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on August 6th, 2008
You may have noticed that we’re really into T-shirts with embellished shoulders. It’s just a unique take on the ubiquitous embellished tee, and using crystals in a less expected place (as opposed to on the neckline) looks more sophisticated.
So we knew this LaROK crystal tee, $198, would have to be a designer pick of the week. And at less than $200 it may be our cheapest DPOTW ever!
The smoky crystal embellishments wrap around the back so this shirt is special from every angle.
