Coolhunting

November 11th, 2007 by admin

The spring/summer collections seem now, far away. With a bit of help from time and the perspective that it gives me, I predict what we will be wearing next season.

Nerds are taking their revenge after years consigned to ostracism. Those of us who don’t need prescription eyeglasses will be praying for a pair.

Did Hip-Hop Come Between Salman And Padma? [Heartaches]

Did Hip-Hop Come Between Salman And Padma? [Heartaches]
The new Vanity Fair we’ve been poring through profiles Salman Rushdie ex- and Top Chef hostess Padma Lakshmi, one of the few celebrities we are pretty sure we dislike mainly because we are jealous, and the general impression we get of the cause for the split is, “Well duh, he was too old and she was too young.” (Says Padma: “He hates Kanye West and I love him.”) Yeah yeah yeah, he was someone and she was no one and she sounds annoyingly ambitious and narcissistic and obviously didn’t love him the way he loved her, but seriously, what twentysomething does love a fiftysomething the way he loves her? Anyway, she misses him, lives in a hotel, says “fucking” a lot, hangs out with someone named DJ Rekha, and ends the story being affectionately manhandled by Russell Simmons. So yeah, we’re still jealous. Which would explain why we chose this rather unfortunate picture of her wearing Uggs to accompany this quicklink…

Fall Coat Option: Tides Coat by Karen Zambos Vintage Couture [Tops 2 Bottoms]

Karen Zambos Vintage Couture Tides Coat

Any chance I get to own something classic, I tend to grab it. Wouldn’t you do the same thing if you were in my position? However, it’s a bit hard to do in my country since it’s hard to spot a really great place to spot an authentic vintage item. So, what do I do? I resort to a vintage-influenced item instead. Here’s a great coat option for you guys. It’s the Tides Coat by Karen Zambos Vintage Couture.

Emotional Eaters More Likely To Regain Weight [Burning The Scale]

Emotional Eaters More Likely To Regain Weight [Burning The Scale]
A new study shows that those who eat for internal reasons, such as sadness or loneliness, are more likely to regain weight lost over time. Eating for external reasons - because there was a party or a social event where lots of food was consumed - was not shown to have a correlation with weight gain.

One way to tell which one you are is if you have a self-defeating attitude about dieting. Do you tend to binge once you go off your diet on other off-plan foods? This means your drive to eat is internally based. This is something I used to do, but lately I remind myself that it’s going to do double the damage or worse, and it isn’t worth it.

Who Is “Entertainer” Sandy Hill And Why Do You All Hate Her? [Phony At The Top]

Who Is “Entertainer” Sandy Hill And Why Do You All Hate Her? [Phony At The Top]
On Wednesday we summarized for you the thrilling Julia Reed profile of socialite Sandy Hill in December’s Vogue. See, she has a new cookbook coming out soon, and according to today’s New York Post, her first husband Bob Pittman isn’t amused. Seems all she cooked when they were married was on the raw food diet! Anyway, the point is, after our post we got a tip from a highly-placed source who goes by the name of “Grace Obstreperous.” Grace has been in the ladymag industry for awhile, and she knows whose closets the skeletons hang out in and where the bodies are buried, so to speak. Well, that is, except for certain bodies that died at altitudes too high to ever find, no thanks to oxygen-hoggers like Sandy Hill! After the jump, the Obstreperous primer on why people hate Sandy, and whether you should, too.

The Everest expedition Julia Reed mentions in her Vogue profile of horse-country doyenne, Sandy Hill ? You know, the one where someone died? It’s the same one that Jon Krakauer chronicles in a little New York Times bestseller called Into Thin Air. It also happens to be one of the deadliest expeditions of the deadliest year in the mountain’s history; eight climbers died, all more experienced than Sandy.

Nicole Kidman’s CMA Gown More Miami than Nashville [Snarkstress]

Nicole Kidman’s CMA Gown More Miami than Nashville [Snarkstress]

As I look at this photo of the Ex-Mrs. Cruise, I’m wondering whether the hand Nicole Kidman is holding is that of Crockett or Tubbs. Gawd knows it can’t be Keith Urban and this can’t be the Country Music Awards, because goldamn, she looks more like she’s in Miami circa 1980-something than in present-day Countryville.

So here I was, dahlings, innocently enjoying my fifth cup of spiked coffee, when suddenly my mind is assaulted with Don Johnson flashbacks - white suits and pastel tees, shoes sans socks, yanno, those kinds of images. Ack!
