Seeing as everyone has been blah-ing on about New York Times’ new style mag - TMagazine, I spent a good part of an hour perusing the very engaging site. Fronting the cover is Natalie Portman whose photograph spread by Raymon Meier can only be described as ‘neon ethereal’. Portman’s sillhouette bears a slight resemblance to that of the singer Feist’s ‘The Reminder’ album cover (probably my most-listened album of mid-2007), in both shape and style.

![Lovely “Hayden Cardigan” [Dapper Diva]](http://citypeoplefashion.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/90319.jpg)
It was freezing today, and I love to pile on a comfy sweater when the weather gets bad. I found a lovely sweater from B & Lu that has just enough “flowyness” to flatter your tummy without the top looking like a full-blown peasant top. In 100% cotton, it’s perfect for those of us with allergies to wool.
I love this simple sweater cardigan from B & Lu.

![“Missing Porn Star” Wasn’t Even A Porn Star [Lost And Found]](http://citypeoplefashion.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/90023.jpg)
It’s been noted how much the media loves to pick up stories of missing women — so long as they’re white. Today it was reported that the bodies of both Latasha Norman (a black woman) and Emily Sander (a white woman) were discovered yesterday, and unsurprisingly, Emily’s case had received much more attention in the days following her disappearance. And while the whole race aspect definitely has played a part here, I think that the real hook to her story was the whole “porn” thing. It added a dark seediness to the case that, as Jezebel’s Jessica put it, would make her case perfect for Law and Order: SVU to rip from the headlines. The idea of her “secret life as a porn star” led many to jump to the conclusion that it must’ve had something to do with why she’d gone missing, because even if they don’t want to admit it, people still think that women who engage in that sort of activity kinda have it coming. Oh except here’s the thing: Emily wasn’t a porn star.

Black dresses. They make life so easy. Black dress, black tights, black shoes: It’s not exactly rocket science. Sometimes, when we have time to be leisurely in our thinking, like when we wait for any sort of public transportation in the city of San Francisco, we think they are sort of a cop-out. And we stand by that. But: (A) sometimes cop-outs are actually totally adorable and (B) sometimes cop-outs are all you have time for. “Cop-out” is stronger language than we’re ideally looking for. You know what we mean.
We tried this time to pick up more options with sleeves. (Ignoring the one-shoulder one, below, with the bow.)

![SIL Shopping : CATO Purple Satin Blouse [Style It Less]](http://citypeoplefashion.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/89758.jpg)
Every time I visited CATO last month, I had been watching this Satin Purple Blouse and hoping that it would go on sale soon. Crossing my fingers at the same time that when it does, I’d be there to snatch one. Well it finally did. 2 nights ago. As soon as I saw this cap sleeves, surpliced V-neckline, with sash belt purple blouse I was sighing in relief. FINALLY. A lot of you might say the original price of $17.99 is nothing but being the bargain shopper that I am and knowing CATO puts out sales all the time, I just had to wait. And it paid off. I only paid $12.99 ![SIL Shopping : CATO Purple Satin Blouse [Style It Less]](http://citypeoplefashion.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
. There were only 2 left and relief washed over me when I picked this up and it’s in my size. Whewww.
First outfit in mind? I thought of pairing this purple blouse with my black pinstripes trouser from My Michelle. Any pair of black stilettos would be fine for Spring and Summer but since we’re in Fall/Winter season, I’d probably wear it with my black knee-high boots. I’m getting excited

![Dear Diablo Cody: I Wish My Boyfriend’s Junk Smelled Like Pie [Girl Crushes]](http://citypeoplefashion.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/89552.jpg)
If “Jezebel” were a person, she very well might be up and coming screenwriter Diablo Cody, an ex-stripper and phone sex operator who pens hilarious movies with serious Oscar buzz, dresses like Courtney Love did about halfway through her glam makeover (she wears satin jumpers but also combat boots), writes a blog called the Pussy Ranch, and has made it her mission to create films with multifaceted female leads. Diablo’s heroines are not just reacting to the choices of male characters — these women are actually choosing their own destinies.
I saw Diablo’s incredible debut, Juno, on Wednesday night. It’s about a 16-year-old girl (Juno, played by the unparalleled Ellen Page) who, after finding herself pregnant and half-heartedly attempting to hang herself with red-rope licorice, decides to keep the baby. At first Juno is going to have an abortion, but is freaked out by the clinic receptionist, who offers Juno boysenberry condoms, because, as she explains, they make her boyfriend’s “junk smell like pie.”

A couple weeks ago, I post about the UGG Australia Cardy Classic Boots and overwhelmingly, people seemed to love them.
Here is another boot from UGG this season - the UGG Sandra Wedge Boot. This boot features a combination of antiqued dark chocolate suede and leather to create a very unique looking boot.
I always thought you should wear winter boots with socks. But it’s actually recommended that you wear these with barefeet. The “moisture-wicking micro pile lining” keeps moisture away from your skin and allows feet to stay comfortable in temperatures from -30 degree Fahrenheit to 80 degrees Farhenheit. (Though I’m not sure why you’d wear these boots if it was 80 degrees.)
