via She just might be the youngest Featured Fashionista yet, at just 14 years old, but I love how gracefully this child-star is evolving into herself as a young lady. As child actors go, Dakota Fanning established herself as a real talent taking on dark and weighty roles, and delivering every line with such truth [...]

Zimbio did a great article on the 100 most influential people in the fashion industry. It’s a pretty interesting and comprehensive read.

Im not really sure where she came from. All I know is she looks like what my grandmother would call a “ragamuffin”, ALL the time. Yet pulls it off in that superskinny, post heroin chic, pseudo-vintage, anti-trendy trend, and I am envious. She’s beautiful in a unique kind of way, and dare I award her [...]

Lindsay Lohan: Ok, so I guess this is the first inclination here in this blog as to my Lindsay obsession… say what you will about her hard partying ways, THIS blog is about the clothes, and she has got a definite style of her own. She looks “cool” in pretty much anything she puts on, [...]

Chloe Sevigny: She has definitely come a long way since I first saw her in KIDS as a troubled young girl with AIDS. Now on the HBO series BIG LOVE ( second season premiers June 17, 2007 ), it is clear her career has flourished over the years. Another consistant evolution has been in her [...]
