It wasn’t so long ago that Karl Lagerfeld’s BFF* Gossip Girl-star Blake Lively was declared the newest Chanel “brand ambassador” (“spokesboobs” seemed marginalizing) for the label’s new Mademoiselle handbag. Now the first image of the campaign is here (more TK, presumably) and is accompanied by the expected squall of publicity, featuring Blake Lively Talking About Her Upbeat Outlook. I am not going to hate on Lively for being permanently delighted, but I am going to share some of her WWD interview and let you be alone with your feelings. More

Christian Louboutin just made this pair of shoes entitled “The Blake.” Now, when we think of Blake Lively we mostly think “cleavage” because at this point her breasts have become to Gossip Girl what Manhattan was to Sex and the City. And we do feel like these incorporate… foot cleavage. And I guess I also imagine that if Blake Lively was asked her favorite color she is the kind of person who might reply “the rainbow, but only in a red to green range” and is furthermore, coming from her, that statement is something a designer might take seriously. Do these shoes make you think of Blake Lively? And would you wear them yourself? More

DIY projects are fun and sometimes even turn out well. I used to buy simple $20 vintage hats and then sew black netting beneath the brim as a veil or add feathers and ribbons. Then someone told me I looked like I was attending a hooker’s funeral, so I stopped. Actually, this is a terrible example. Anyway More

Look, I was raving in the office about how much I hate Paz de la Huerta, and people were like “you should write about that! We love hate!” and I was all “no, no, I probably just hate her Boardwalk Empire character, who is a villain anyway, so it’s not fair to hate her. What if she reads here and is offended? I believe irrational things about our readership. That would be awful. I’ll look up some articles about her that will really make me like her a whole boat-ton.”
So, I did, and Jesus Christ, Paz de la Huerta may not be a terrible person, but everything written about her is REALLY making me hate her. More
