YES: BLDGBLOG BOOK


BLDGBLOG is even better in book form. A fascinating read for anybody fascinated by architecture and architectural tangents.

YES: ROBERT GELLER SECONDS



If this recession means we get more affordable staples from award-winning designers, let the Dow drop another couple hundred points. Silver lining! Via Refinery29.

YES: ROBERT GELLER F/W 2009

YES: EMMA WATSON




Apparently the face of Burberry is also in this moving picture called "Harry Potter". More importantly, though, she wears Christopher Kane and could easily replace January Jones in Mad Men, judging by this InStyle UK shoot.

NO: SOCKS WITH SANDALS


Purely artificial. I'm a little disappointed by Opening Ceremony here. Via Refinery29.

NO: CHANEL ON SALE


Really? Now? Even the typeface looks wrong.

Via Racked.

YES: CLOAK & DAGGER S/S 2009




Simple with a great colour palette. See more at their official website.

YES: DIOR COUTURE F/W 2009





It should be said that Galliano's sublime, sexy couture collection should not in any way be used as a justification for GaGa-esque pantlessness. Via Fashionologie.

YES: PAUL SMITH MENSWEAR S/S 2010






So gloriously impeccable. I die. Via Style.com.

YES: ISSEY MIYAKE PLEATS PLEASE AD CAMPAIGN




How delightful! Via Hapsical.

YES: 'THE WAY OLD FRIENDS DO' BY SERGE LEBLON




So, I really like Anouck Lepere. Interesting fact: she's a former architecture student, and we've been on the same blog. Via Fashion Gone Rogue.

YES: JAK & JIL X POP


There are only three posts, but you can already tell it's a bit different from the regular Jak & Jil stuff, which focuses more on editors, models, and other fashion icons. And it's simple and clean, kind of like what a Jil Sander blog would look like, if they had one.

YES: CLARISSE D'ARCIMOLES




Brilliant concept. Via Hapsical.

YES: PROJECT NO. 8B




Love the new menswear shop to complement Project No.8. The SANAA-esque interiors are gorgeous, especially the furniture- check out the Stefan Diez's Houdini Chair by the plant. What's more, they carry the brilliant Papier Bag (another Diez piece).

See the entire slideshow at NYMag.

YES: MAGDALENA FRACKOWIAK IN 'LOLLIPOP GIRL'




Nice socks and pretty hats. Yum.
Via Fashion Gone Rogue.

YES: NOISETTES


Official video for Don't Upset The Rhythm doesn't allow embedding, but you can listen to the track here:

MAYBE: JANE ALDRIDGE FOR URBAN OUTFITTERS



Jane is undoubtedly very stylish, but those gladiator heels fail to excite me. The boots are the highlight of this mini-collection. Via Refinery29.

YES: SLOW CLUB



Adorable. And, featured in a recent super-cute Ritz ad:

MAYBE: ANNA SUI FOR TARGET

Anna Sui's Gossip Girl-inspired collection is hit-or-miss:

YES: Blake. Pretty cute, the most Targét of the four.



MAYBE: Jenny. Epitomizes the whole collection (some cute things, but too many orange weird things).


NO: Serena and Vanessa. Just no.


Via NYMag.

YES: SCOTT STERNBERG

My man-crush on Scott Sternberg of Band of Outsiders has now reached epic proportions. In the latest W Magazine, an interiew with Scott (in my mind, we're on a first-name basis) reveals his disdain for Paris Hilton, Jon and Kate, and adult diapers, his affinity for French new-wave films, and, best of all, he answers one question with "Yes. No. Maybe."- perhaps a sign that he reciprocates my love???

YES: TIM BURTON'S ALICE IN WONDERLAND



That sound you hear? That's Tim Burton fucking your brain.

YES: ROKSANDA ILLINCIC CRUISE 2010


Reminiscent of Art Deco gloriousness, like Proenza Schouler S/S 2009. It's a little melancholy, but maybe that's what makes this appear so tragically beautiful. Via Fashionologie.

YES: COMME DES GARÇONS BLACK




Nearly as outrageous as the main line- except for the price. Looks (and hopefully, feels) better than the somewhat disappointing H&M endeavour. Via Racked.

YES: CALVIN KLEIN S/S 2010 MENSWEAR




Sharp. Via NYMag.

MAYBE: LITTLE BOOTS




Maybe she seems a bit manufactured, maybe some of the tracks are garbage, but by golly, this one makes her sound like the second coming of Kylie. Amazing. So I'm torn.

YES: YSL S/S 2010 MENSWEAR


Another gorgeous video from YSL.
