Yes, you read that correctly. While most designers decided to shrink down the size of our carryalls into envelope clutches or cross-body bags, a few decided to go old school with the fanny pack. It might not appear fashionable at first glance, but it is certainly practical. A waist-purse would be perfect to have for a day out shopping, at a concert, or while babysitting—basically anytime that you really need to have both hands free.
Our suggestion for wearing this trend without looking like a soccer mom or lost tourist? Besides the obvious (don’t wear it with sneakers or sweatpants), look for a small purse that is made of leather or another rich material, one that’s attached to an actual belt with a belt buckle, and has stylish detailing such as a fringe or leather work.
What do you think—are you fashion risky enough to bring back the fanny pack?

We’re imagining pairing Yves Klein blue with other shades of blue for a beautiful monochrome look, or with black and cream for a classic taste, or as a backdrop to pops of red or neon. So wear a little or wear a lot—you’re sure to look fabulous.
Kirsten Dunst's first advertisement for Bulgari's Mon Jasmir Noir fragrance has surfaced and the actress is featured nude, with random fabric covering up her lady parts, holding an oversized perfume bottle and right next to a gigantic lion. It really makes us...want to smell good, or something.
Last year, Bulgari got into some trouble after the city of Venice banned an ad by the brand featuring Julianne Moore in the buff, surrounded by purses and lion cubs.
Take a look at Kirsten's debut and tell us what you think. And for some behind-the-scenes action,
Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow? With silver bells and golden fish and pretty maids all in a row. Oh, and lotus flowers and Ming vases and tea-room wallpaper and… all this print which is more than I have words for. It left me faint.
Fall ’11 is only Mary Katrantzou’s sixth show, and I remember her first, when she was back-to-back with Mark Fast and nobody knew either of them. She’d just began doing perfume-bottle prints and their hyperrealness startled me. Then she picked up whole rooms and swirled them into wearable objet d’arts. Now she’s in the garden: more specifically, she says, Diana Vreeland‘s apartment, or “garden of hell.” If this is hell, I’m quite happy to be headed there.
Trench coats are spring’s most covetable buy – versatile, classic and suitable for every weather type, they’re a classic you’ll wear for life. They’re not just for daytime either, they can be worn as a chic evening cover-up, as seen on Blake Lively and Kim Kardashian. If you want to stay stylish during the transitional period then shop the top 10 trenches on the high street... SD
Spring 2011 is the season of the super-bright – it’s like a breath of fresh air for your wardrobe. As far as mixing your brights goes, the only rule is, there are no rules. Contrast your colours and wear with block blacks for statement effect. And with all the brights hitting Asos, Topshop andDorothy Perkins right now, you’ll be like a kid in a sweet shop! KA
Kristen Stewart is the cover girl for major fashion magazine Vogue. Dressed in high fashion for the shoot, you can see behind the scenes video located at the bottom of this post. In the mean time, check out these glossy pictures from the spread.
I am surprised that they would have Kristen as their cover girl. I wouldn’t call her a high fashion kind of person. I think it likely has to do more with how popular her movies are than her fashion sense.
What do you think of the fashion spread with Kristen? Should they have picked a different cover girl for their magazine? What do you think about her style, is it something typically Vogue‘s style or not? I think she is more of the boho or even
grunge from the
1990s, not the glam look that the magazine normally uses. But at least they give uniquely styled people a chance to be on Vogue, so I will say it is a nice break from their typical look they place on the cover.
