Remember how I asked you to guess whether or not I got the Jean-Charles de Castelbajac sailor outfit? It was a trick question! I got a navy blue version of the white pants I was wearing in the picture and a different nautical-themed top. So, yes, I got a head-to-toe outfit, but it wasn’t the [...]

Happy 4th of July to my U.S. readers! I know I spend way too much time thinking about fashion because Uncle Sam’s outfit reminds me of Viktor & Rolf’s Fall/Winter 2000/2001 collection instead of vice versa. I also know I spend too much time watching Law & Order reruns because Uncle Sam makes me think [...]

Last weekend, I wore a stake for a True Blood viewing party. This week, I’m wearing a vampire-themed temporary tattoo I got at Coney Island. Here’s a close-up. My vampire looks much more like Sesame Street’s Count than like Eric Northman, so thank goodness he’s not permanent. A much better True Blood tribute is Snoop [...]

Tonight I’m at gorgeous blogger Tina’s apartment to watch True Blood‘s season 3 premiere. My jewel for the evening is a luxe version of the silver Vampire Diana ring from Friday’s post. The silver ring has a silver heart and silver stake that was made all as one piece (fewer parts means lower labor costs). [...]

I couldn’t wait for True Blood’s third season to start this Sunday on HBO so I recently spent three days reading eight of the Charlaine Harris books that inspired the show. I downloaded them one at a time on a Kindle and, by the end of the three days, my credit card company was calling [...]

I am calling for a national day of mourning because the original Law & Order has been canceled after a mere 20 years on the air. Do you realize what this means? SAM WATERSTON’S EYEBROWS WILL BE UNEMPLOYED. Sam and his brows have been a major obsession of mine. I don’t know how I’ll go [...]

There are bloggers who are passionate about wardrobe remixing — in other words, styling the same clothes different ways to get many looks. Then there’s me. I wore this ensemble twice last weekend, just changing the black t-shirt. Now that I think of it, I wore the same jacket-shoe-bag-necklace combo with the black version of [...]

Sports network ESPN had a “Jane, you ignorant slut” moment recently when Tony Kornheiser, host of its Pardon the Interruption program, said on his radio show that ESPN television anchor Hannah Storm was wearing “a horrifying, horrifying outfit today. She’s got on red go-go boots and a Catholic school plaid skirt … way too short [...]

This winter, I’ve spent a number of insomniac nights watching 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. reruns of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on Logo. After seeing the episodes Double Meat Palace and Dead Things, I complained via Twitter that Buffy was unkind to her Billy Idol-esque, Brit, bad boy vampire lovah, Spike. To my surprise, I [...]

Former Tonight Show host Johnny Carson used to do a bit about a psychic named Carnac the Magnificent. Get me a giant turban, people, because I am having a Carnac moment after reading today’s New York Times story on Zac Posen, The Trials of a Former Boy Wonder. It quotes Posen, a pre-crash success story [...]
