Forgive us for the end-of-the-week snark, but when it's nearing quittin' time, and we're presented with a lookbook of the likes of The Row's spring 2010 collection, we can't help but poke a little fun. Granted, the clothes themselves aren't bad: There are lots of simply tailored staples that we've come to love and expect from the Olsens, like form-fitting skirts and loose jersey tops. But, oy. The styling. While socks and contoured shirts are more than trendy right now, mud versions of them look like an unfortunate foray into fake-tanner art. And the dried floral forehead decorations and unkempt hair to rival Robert Pattinson's reminds of the time we went camping and woke up to find that our tent had blown away. As for the Mom Jeans? We have no words. (Supreme Management)
I don't know why, but I have a feeling that Marc Jacobs or somebody will be doing some new rendition of those classic hand-tooled Mexican bags soon. I've always loved them, but trust me...there's a comeback on the horizon.
Starting bid, $19.95, check it out here....

We'll take any excuse to wear our jammies out of the house, so when we received our invites to attend Creative Time's Slumber Party fundraiser, we grabbed our usual night's-in outfit (that'd be our robes and eyemasks) for a hoppin' night out. Thrown at the Ace Hotel, there was dancing courtesy of DJ Matt Creed and Fischerspooner, Tarot Card reading, a special screening of Andy Warhol's "Sleep", not to mention a goodie bag packed tight with milk and cookies. You can bet that Terence Koh, Victorial Bartlett, Arden Wohl, and Anne Slowey came out to let their hair down, hike their elastic-waist shorts up, and get down with the rest of the sleepy set. Click through for pictures of the comfiest themed party of the year—and no worries, there's plenty to look at to guarantee that you won't be the first kid to fall asleep!
Catching a flash of a leopard boot and football-shaped baguette last season was enough to have us sitting on the edges of our proverbial seats in anticipation for high-res images of Alexander Wang's spring 2010 collection. After all, the mop-topped charmer's accessories are on a winning streak, with every one of his studded, embossed, and cracked leather goodies selling out faster than you can say "How much for these?". But that was last season during the heyday of the tough-as-nails trend, and as the spikes-'n'-chains thing fizzes out, we were worried that Alex might not be able to play catch-up quickly enough. But, from these product shots, we really had nothing to be concerned about, with playful heels with an athletic kick, a graphic update on the Coco bag, and that leather clutch that you might want to think twice about hiking down the end zone. (Nylon)
We understand why Wayfarers have been the go-to shades for the past few seasons—the shape is classic and it suits so many faces. But we are more than ready to see things a little differently. Cat eye frames are the newest (oldest!) shape du jour, and designers are definitely having some fun playing around with this classic '50s staple. For their spring 2010 shows, Alexander Wang, Giles Deacon, and Miuccia Prada revealed oversized versions of the frames in statement-making colors like gold, hot pink, and orange. Model and It-girl Dree Hemingway wasted no time sporting the Deacon specs right off the runway. Christian Dior and Proenza Schouler are now offering pared-down sleeker versions, and we're happy to see Mary-Kate Olsen in something that doesn't entirely overwhelm her pretty face. But if you like that bug-eyed Rachel Zoe look, Betsey Johnson and Balenciaga have some vintage-inspired options. Yes, looking like a Pink Lady just got a bit easier.
