Stroke of Guinness

This fall, Daphne Guinness will be NARS' new muse. The brand has also created an eyeshadow for her aptly titled, Guinness, which is the fierce purple she's wearing in the add below. Guinness eyeshadow will hit NARS online July 15 and drop in stores mid-August.

Miu Miu

Miu Miu's new Fall 2010 collection is genius and consists of all things I would DIE to have hanging in my closet. The new designs are fresh and fun, I also love the color palette. My favorites are the last three in the first add, and the yellow 'lock' one in the second add.

WTF Moment

Fashion blogger, Tavi Gevinson has chosen Christine Staub, (daughter of Danielle Staub from Real Housewives of NJ) as her new model for her 10 page Black Book editorial. Tavi had originally chosen Chloƫ Sevigny, who later backed out due to scheduling conflicts. How does one go from Chloƫ Sevigny to Christine Staub? I have no idea, but I'm not loving it.


Boycott Selfridges


what the FUCK was Selfridges thinking? Yes. That is a McQueen dress hanging from a rope. Are they seriously unaware that Alexander McQueen had committed suicide be hanging himself? I'm really interested to hear what their reasoning behind this is....

Posh

I love it when some of my favorite people collaborate together, especially when it's so unlikely. So I was pretty excited when I heard that Victoria Beckham has been appointed Creative Director of Range Rover. She will lend her fashion skills to design future Range Rover limited edition models, and has so far lent her talent to the new, "Evoque" or the "Baby SUV". I love cars and I think this one's pretty cool looking, very future-eqsue. No word on pricing or availability, but I'll definitely be on the look out.

Shit, I made the Yankee hat more famous than a Yankee can...

So yesterday, Saturday July 3rd, I experienced some pretty amazing shit, The Legends Suite at Yankee Stadium. If you, like myself, had not heard of this mythical suite before, prepare to be blown away. First of all your ticket is unnecessarily massive, but pretty cool looking nonetheless. Anyway, with this golden ticket, you get escorted to a 'VIP' entrance completely secluded from the rest of the stadium where you then scan your ticket and are given an equally massive wrist band. After your set up, you walk through what could only be described as Yankee heaven, royal blue glass everywhere etched with the NY label. As you walk through yet another entrance, your then greeted by your 'host' who tells you your, 'servant' (yes, really) will be right with you.
Once you've met with your server, your shown to your table, where your then told to browse your dinner options from two restaurants with star chefs, which include, but not limited to, a sushi bar, kobe beef, crabcake, tuna, and chicken sliders, prime rib, king crab legs, Dylan's Candy and Ice Cream bar and so on. Once you've chosen what you'd like, you can order your initial food buffet style or your server goes back and gets all your food for you, and everything is completely unlimited.
Once your done eating, don't expect a check because everything is completely free. Yes, everything, well except liquor. After that, you then make your way past a bar that leads you into a hallway lined with baskets of more free candy to grab to eat at your seat. You then round the corner and your literally at home plate, so once you've picked your jaw from the floor after realizing just HOW close you are, your lead to your seats and handed ANOTHER menu with snacks and drinks that are brought to your seat.
The seats are a navy blue padded leather with teak arms, and all of the aisles are lined with more staff, security, and police officers. I'm not really a sports fan, but I do enjoy a good baseball game, and this experience was completely unforgettable.
If your a Yankee fan, or even if your not, I would encourage anyone and everyone to experience the Legends Suite at least once in their lives, it's truly remarkable, and I cannot wait to go back!

Here's some pictures I took!

Lovely Liz

I love, love, love, love Andy Warhol. I'm secretly even apart of a forum that e-mails me everytime they receive a new original Warhol; definitely very cool to see.

Well, this past Wednesday Christies auctioned off Andy's 'Silver Liz'; a print of Elizabeth Taylor, definitely an iconic piece. The silkscreen sold for $10.1 million, which insanely enough, wasn't even as much as expected!

Damn.
