Need a laugh on this Monday morning. Head over to Jezebel, where the editors have created a delightful prank for those of us who read both Harper’s and Harper’s Bazaar. The mash up includes J.Simp on the cover and a the Harper’s Index, which includes this little dig: “Average price…

Photos by Taylor Sullivan The Corner Office is so fucking cool. Like so cool you can’t call it cool, because that’s uncool. So when this week’s What to Wear Friday honoree, Kymberly Robertson, suggested that we meet at the martini bar at the new Curtis Hotel in Denver’s Theater District,…

Lohre’s even expanded the floor space…
Our associate art director came in today wearing the new skull vest by Libertine for Target ($24.99). It looks cute on her — way cuter than in this picture because she made it much less preppy — though she says that it feels thin and cheap. So don’t be thinking…

It’s good to know that Tim Gunn wasn’t always the fabulous make-it-work guy we’ve all come to love on Project Runway. Cat just got her signed copy of his new book, A Guide to Quality, Taste & Style, and he’s pretty candid and forthcoming in it so far. Hopefully his…
Cat’s delivery of books from Book Expo finally arrived, with a little extra something in it from Stacy: Fashion Kitty Versus The Fashion Queen, by Charise Mericle Harper. OMG, it’s so totally darling and catty and excellent. There’s flying and saving and faux pas and an evil high school fashion…
