Pythagoras theorem and fashion

Yes people, there’s a new index in town.

The Times inked an item suggesting that mathematical equations worked out on our faces is now how we measure (read: fret over) beauty.

Oh well this isn’t anything new. The eons old ideas surrounding evenness and balance within facial composition continue to hold true because I guess we humans haven’t evolved too far from our basic instincts after all.

Curtain call, Kate Spade

Is Kate Spade going all web two oh on us and embracing the concept of transparency and open discourse? It surely can’t be… wait, can it?

The high end, grown-up lady line of buttoned-up stripes, prim and proper bags, shoes such has recently launched Behind the Curtain, a site that gives fans and wannabes a little insight into how they do business.

I love this approach to draw in new audiences

Pantone’s hot hues for fall

Chili pepper, carafe, stargazer, cashmere rose and purple wine… these, my darlings, are the official names for fall’s hottest hues.

Fashion geeks, follow the link for more info from the masters at Pantone.

Mmm Missoni

The other day, I shared my love of those Missoni flats and now I’m going a little ga-ga over the full collection, available at Bloomingdales.

I mean, how cute is this little cardigan with the matching camisole and skirt?!?

Not blogging the red carpet

Covering the red carpet fashion flubs and fabs is not something I’ll be doing this year, although I have to point out three simple things from the blue carpet at the Spirit Awards this year.

Firstly, a little white dress with a black open toe d’orsay is a YES! Do it.

Oscars plus rain, LA shuts down

Today was one of those rubbishy non-starter days, where everything you attempt to do seems to get stonewalled and halted and you generally feel totally dissatisfied with everything — my mom used to call it the “I don’t know what I want but I want it now” thing.

On top of a gathering storm of lovelife issues and creativity pangs, I made the mistake of having crap hair and needing a haircut the

Spring sparkle by Peggy Li

On nights like that, nothing looks better than a simple, breezy little dress (T-shirt, trapeze or tank) and then something sparkly: a drop earring peeking from sun-bleached

UK-Based BettyJoy, a new fave

While I wait for a new episode of Lost to come on, I thought I’d share some of my top picks from this fab new find for jewelry and accessories:

This Take Me Out Bag is so pretty.

This gorgeous Coffee Bay Charm Bracelet is exactly what I’m feeling this spring — that beachy found-treasure feel. Delightful!

And this Diamond Necklace is the ultimate tongue-in-chic statement.

WNH’s rehab plan for Britney

Because we can’t escape the Britney rehab yo-yo news, I just had to put together a little ode to the girl:

Listen to: Amy Winehouse (especially “Rehab”)

If you must, chew: Glee Gum is the healthy alternative to synthetic chewing gum.

See Tablet Hotels for trips labeled: “I just want to get away”

Meet up with Brooke Shields and read her book.

Skip the WeHo nightlife and go to Elixir Tonics

Tees me

Ladies, let me introduce you to Locher’s, a small Parisian fashion label for those women that have come to terms with the little dirty pervert that resides within all of us. Little embroidered slogans on fantastic cuts make these not for the faint of heart sentiments perfectly acceptable.
