The runways were inundated with child-inspired trends (to wit, kitty prints, bloomers, knee socks, and bows) this season, and who better to drive the message home than a passel of pint-sized rascals? Shot by Ryan McGinley for Purple Magazine, these little guys let their faces show just how excited they are to be in head-to-toe looks from the runway (or—more likely—that they just got offered ice cream for dinner). We'd be just as giddy if we were in that high-necked Chanel ruff or the studded Givenchy dress—and, trust us, it would have been a whole lot chicer than the dungaroos we had sported when we still had our baby teeth in. (Coute Que Coute)
Mother Nature had us fooled this weekend, tricking us into thinking summer had made a quick return in mid-November (hello 65 degree weather!). Stylist Camille Bidault-Waddington plays mind games with us too in Elle's December issue. Photographed by Horst Diekgerdes, model Kate Somers catches some Miami rays in fall's chunky knits, combat boots, beanies, gloves, and wool leg warmers, while the rest of the sand-loungers soak up the heat in more weather-appropriate garb. If Somers didn't look so darn beautiful, we'd feel bad about how she must have been sweating her (tiny) booty off. At least she doesn't have to worry about sunscreen, though when it comes to taking a dip to cool off, we're hoping that she brought something other than a wool bikini. (The Fashion Spot)
On a gray day like this, we have to thank Dazed & Confused for ending our week with a big splash of color. Picking up on the fall trend toward bold shades and explosions all across the Pantone color wheel, photographer Mark Pillai and stylist Katie Shillingford have done up Anastasia Kutznetsova in a rainbow of radical looks from Prada, Cavalli, McCartney, Junko Shimada, and, wouldn't you know it, Speedo. Check out the wild, tie-dye hair treatments by Raphael Salley with more tones than a aquarium full of tropical fish—totally groovy.
While we may not be toting a bow-and-arrow around the office (but don't get us wrong—we can wield a mean Wii-mote), we sure can appreciate a girl who can work one! In this Kate Orne-shot November editorial from BlackBook, we catch Julia Shvets mid-hunt, hardly satisfied with her fur coat collection. She crouches somewhere in the unforgiving woods of upstate New York, waiting patiently for an unsuspecting four-legged beast (or shopper coming from a winter-shopping haul) to wander within range of her smokey-eyed glare. Or maybe she got up early for a sample sale! Who knows! Either way, big frizzy hair, a scenic locale, and primitive weaponry are a formula for unabashed glamour that we'll never get sick of seeing. Though, if it were up to us, we'll take our fur faux, and not crawling around on four legs, please. (Fashion Copious)
With Save Fashion merely a week away, we wanted to share our Tom Hines-shot campaign photos featuring Trump girls Georgie Wass, Jessica Perez, and Julia Wolters. In the spirit of Save Fashion, at moments it seemed like we needed someone to save us from the elements. A mixture of freezing rain and gusty conditions in Tivoli, NY made it way difficult to execute the '70s-tinged concept we were going for (even worse, our poor props guy got electrocuted from the fog machine. Sorry Jesse!). But in the end, we were absolutely thrilled with the mystical, ethereal editorial that was produced. Though we may have bled, sweated, and cried our way through this shoot, we made our latest Save Fashion campaign well worth the wait. Want to see more? Stop by our shop in SoHo from November 13-22 for some outrageous deals (steals, really) on all our favorite brands. See you there!

Couture-Clad Kiddies Get Silly in Rodarte, Chanel, and Givenchy

90 Degrees With a Chance of Knits: Kate Somers Packs Inappropriately For Miami

An Education Teaches Us a Lesson in Posh, Brit Dressing
When we saw An Education starring Carey Mulligan, we weren't expecting to get lesson in fashion. Based on a novel by Lynn Barber, the film takes place in England, 1961. Carey plays Jenny, a young British schoolgirl who, stifled by the tedium of adolescence, dreams of a Chanel-scented life. Though, while our eyes weren't glued to Carey and Peter Sarsgaard's electric chemistry, they were wandering to the fetching costumes that prompted this round-up. From smart prep-school uniforms to nipped floral dresses, every outfit was historically accurate but undeniably wearable. So, take a gander of our favorite three looks—maybe you'll even find that last item on your holiday wish-list!Above, clockwise from left: Blue Nile Heart Heirloom Locket, $870, available at Blue Nile; Forever21 Floral Brushed Dress, $22.80, available at Forever21; French Connection Kitty Wool Coat, $298, available at French Connection; Leica M7 Rangefinder 35mm Camera, $4,395, available at Amazon; Mila Schon Spring Flowers Printed Silk Square Scarf, $95, available at Forzieri.

Oh, how quickly they grow up! It seems like only yesterday lil' Dakota Fanning had us bawling through Charlotte's Web. But now the once tiny actor is blooming as an ingénue and living it up island style for Teen Vogue's latest cover shoot. Displaying more class (and less skin) than a lot of other actors in her age range (ahem, Taylor), she manages to look every bit the adorable 15-year-old she is, and still radiate maturity both in front of Norman Jean Roy's camera and in these behind-the-scenes pics. And whether she's relaxing in Marc Jacobs amidst verdant palms or lounging in a rattan armchair, the tiny thespian has us pining for the tropics… and that leopard Rodarte for Target dress!
Luxirare
The biggest thing to hit the blogging community since ctrl-C ctrl-V, Luxirare is a fashion extremist and gastronomist whose high-class tastes extend from her bespoke leather jackets to the crimped potato chips she fashions from hand. Inventive, thoughtful, and with loads of personalized labeling equipment (seriously, where can we get a Refinery potato holder of our own?), Luxirare gives us a serious case of blog envy.
Blushing Ambition
Hailing from Berkeley, California, Annabel is a girl who's seriously obsessed. Greek literature, anime, sports, and Japan dot the shortlist, but this cutie Cal senior's biggest loves are fashion and food (duh). Frankly, we're a little obsessed with her pics of fast food porn and her sweet and simple outfit pictures.
Kate Moss for Just Cavalli: Most Ambivalent Male Model Pose Next To The World's Hottest Supermodel
Um, could this guy look any less excited to be rubbing abs and shoulders with the most attractive woman on the planet? On another note…we will figure out a way to make our eyes smolder like Kate's. We will we will we will.
Kristen McMenamy for Lanvin: Best Use of Cat As Fashion Prop
In our ideal world, we will be wearing that insane jeweled collar Kristen is rocking, or else the delightful, ultra-luxe fur coat. But it's good to know that if all else fails, at least we can hoist a black cat over our shoulders and look every bit as stylish as Kristen in our H&M duds. Non?
Irina Kulikova and Kasia Struss for Mulberry: Best Display of Hair as a Primal Force of Nature
We wouldn't typically think of toting Mulberry's luscious candy-colored bags to the forest lest they get eaten, but with hair this big, we'd be able to fend off anything, nasty wolves and all.
We've long been fans of downtown darling Dree Hemingway's cool kid, Alexander Wang-heavy aesthetic, but we're totally in love with the blonde bombshell's latest foray into unadulterated decadence. The much-hyped up-and-coming beauty stripped down to her lacy undies for Alasdair McLellan in the August issue of Vogue Russia, along with some seriously opulent piled-on bling, large tassel belts, lacquered talon-like nails, and a devilishly awesome black lip. The skin factor is definitely high, but if we had a stash of baubles like that, we probably wouldn't wear much else, either. (The Fashion Spot)

From Chloé Bags to Le Cordon Bleu, The Best Fashion + Food Bloggers On the Web
The world of fashion and food have pretty much always remained—and in our opinion, stupidly so—on opposite ends of the Venn Diagram. But lately, an uprising of sorts has been taking place on the blogosphere. Stylish, savvy, and very very hungry, these bloggers have combined their (and our!) love for the delicious and fashionable. We've took a lunch break to go over the best in the fashion+foodie world whose duds and dishes both look good enough to eat!Luxirare

9 Of This Season's Most Devastatingly Hot Ad Campaigns
Let's be honest: These days, who really wants to stop in at Louis Vuitton just because some splashy Sprouse display beckoned to them from behind the gleaming glass? But nonetheless, a certain number of fall's picture-perfect ads have lured us into an almost hypnotized state—you know, one in which we find ourselves compulsively reaching for our wallets or digging like madwomen into our already deeply-deprived bank accounts. We're talking about images so alluring that we've found it hard to turn away. If you, too, are ready to triple the wants on your wish-list, go on and take a peeksie at our favorite ad campaigns of the season.

Before You Leave For the Weekend, Take Some Styling Tips From Magdalena Fracowiak
We're about to kick off for the weekend, but we wanted to leave you with this beach-pretty editorial, shot by David Vasiljevic. In case you don't know what to wear for your July Fourth festivities, model Magdalena Fracowiak tries on cute-as-a-button looks that we're determined to reenact: Crocheted socks with mary janes, schoolgirl dresses, floral bloomers (which look refreshingly hip with a simple striped top), and white frocks paired with sailor hats. Just what we need for our weekend in the sun! As for that amazing floppy sunhat...we'll be grabbing the $40 American Apparel gray version and tying a big 'ol scarf around it for our four-hour drive out to the beach. See you by the pool!
