Wetter is better

Once again, JPG served up some major fierceness for the couture shows in Paris, this time turning out shimmering suits and liquid-look frocks inspired by sassy sirens and sailors alike. Milagros Schmoll stole the show in a superglam gold paillette jumpsuit, looking like the modern day lovechild of Ziggy Stardust and Botticelli's Venus. Cintia Dicker better watch her back -- if Milagros holds on to these gorgeous locks, I just might have a new favorite!

raging in the rain

I really love the rain... as long as I'm inside, drinking hot cocoa in front of a fire, and it stays outside where it belongs. However, when getting poured on is inevitable, a cute, colorful umbrella is necessary for keeping you dry and brightening your mood. These mini umbrellas from Fred Flare are adorable in a "just escaped from the psych ward and still wearing my straightjacket" kind of way, and definitely way cooler than that fluorescent yellow one with a wooden duck head handle you've been carrying. The drag queen geisha is definitely a keeper.

Kate Moss Loves La Coka Nostra

There are very few things that make me wish I was a boy -- namely, health class, waxing, and this shirt. I saw someone wearing this yesterday, and immediately fell into depression about how completely ridiculous and ill-fitting this would look on me. It's like the witty expression tee's really cool cousin, except instead of saying something like "your mom goes to college" or "the voices in my head made me do it," it's got a really hot picture of kate moss. Boys, get on this... and let me borrow it.
