Nina Garcia's books are so charming. She offers a lot of solid advice. In the latest, she talks a lot about vintage/consignment shops and tailoring/mending and editing your wardrobe, and gives an extensive resource list that includes all her favorite Web sites. She's as down-to-earth as she is fabulous. And all three of her books are beautifully illustrated by Ruben Toledo. I'm a big fan. :)
@Penny: I've also been pleasantly surprised by Amanda Brooks's I Love Your Style. Whoever did the photo research for that one should be congratulated -- so many unusual pictures, it's so much fun to flip through.
33-24-35 IS curvy. It's an hour-glass shape. Why is "curvy" a euphemism for fat? I really hate that. Plenty of smaller women have curves. Plenty of larger women do not. Shape does not relate directly to size! And isn't that shape sort of a rarity in the modeling world lately? I mean I can't say I'd know, but most of the models I've noticed have tended to be pretty straight up and down
@colormeroutine: Yeah except that the whole point is the aforementioned lazy writers have completely co-opted the word "curvy" to mean thick or not of model proportions. So when they try to call Lara Stone curvy, the rest of us call bullshit.
What's so hard to understand, Georgia May? Your father is a famous rock star and your mother is a well-known model, so they always got plenty of media attention. They had a tumultuous relationship, so, again, they got plenty of media attention. You are their daughter and you've decided to enter the same industry as your mother, so now you get plenty of media attention. See, it's not so hard to understand, is it?
Yes, Tom Ford. I was trying to smell you. I'm not sorry, either.
Oh and this: I'm a little sad about Halston's reported troubles. I'm not sure why but when I was little I associated the label with the absolute height of fashion and wanted their dresses to wear at les discotheques. I was probably seven or so. Plus, they made that signature perfume and my favorite aunt wore it and to this day I love that smell.

Tom Ford: That's not amazing. It's rainbows and unicorns.
