I just noticed that Macy’s seems to have a knockoff of jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer‘s leaf necklace. The original leaf necklace by Jennifer Meyer I thought the Macy’s leaf (below) WAS the Meyer leaf at first, but I think I see subtle differences, plus the price is too low and it’s in 14K, not 18K….

Great Minds Groupthink Alike
Blog #1 (ahem! mine!), Dec. 3: “But the dark side of Greek life, and of any organizations that deemphasize individual rights in favor of the “common good,” is groupthink, hazing and the exclusion of outsiders, rebels and accidental troublemakers. Feel free to reread Lord of the Flies.”Blog #2, Dec. 4: “And then, she was exiled…

My gorgeous friend Cheryl Tan is a real journalist, and she’s in Milan, blogging her little fingers off. Go read her shizz or I’ll open a can of J. Lo on your ass! That’s Cheryl on the right, giving me ‘tude. Earlier this month, Bryanboy (motto: “I’m so gay I sweat glitter”) did an interesting…

In case you didn’t believe that Kanye West’s Venetian-blind sunglasses are based on an ’80s design, I present a blurry screen cap from Animotion’s amazing 1985 video for “Obsession.” I’m not sure what kind of drugs everyone was on when this video was shot.

Great Minds Think Alike…About Ossie Clark
Ossie Clark was the fashion king of ’60s and ’70s London, dressing Twiggy, Bianca and Mick Jagger, Marianne Faithful, Talitha Getty and Patti Boyd, to name just a few of the Beautiful People.

Here (on the right) we have Ashley Olsen in Alaia sandals. Below, vintage Herbert Levine. (Levine photo via Enokiworld. Sorry, the Levines are sold.) Speaking of sandals, if you’re a size 37 (and act quickly), you can get the Gucci sandal pictured below at Bergdorf Goodman for $582, down from $895. But if you’re a…
Great Minds Think Alike…About Sashes
When I saw this beautiful Jonathan Saunders dress in the window of Bergdorf Goodman …. CLICK HERE TO SEE THE DRESS. … the Marc Jacobs dress from 2004 on Liv Tyler immediately sprang to mind. Embed from Getty Images They’re certainly not identical though. It must just be the sash.
