Instead of making you take a style quiz that has nothing to do with fashion or making you carry a few copies of the 798 page September 2008 Vogue, this Bostonist has decided to talk about what you might want to wear under your new fall fashions and a new store on the horizion that any fashionista would love! Before everyone wanted their own sneaker and then they want you to wear their clothes; now......

The most important part of looking good is feeling good, and when you do something good, you can’t help but look good in the end. Next week, Neiman Marcus at The Natick Collection will present Fall Into Fashion, a charity event with proceeds going to Kevin Youkilis’s Hits for Kids charity. The fashion soiree will feature the fall collections of some of today’s best known designers. Everything from contemporary couture will be represented, with men's......

We squealed with joy when we found out that Monica Botkier was teaming up with Target to do a line of bags for the discount giant. Sadly, the bags, which are available online now and should be in stores by July 20, are a major disappointment. Maybe we expected too much, but these bags look like cheap knockoffs you’d buy at a polyester-filled teenage dirt mall shop. And they’re handbags aren’t the only they that’s......

Mixing an encyclopedic knowledge of the works of Aaron Spelling and The Spice Girls with a burning hatred of leggings and high-waisted pants, Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan, creators of the popular website Go Fug Yourself, have been turning horribly-dressed celebrities into comedy gold since 2004. They were named one of the world's 50 most powerful blogs by the UK Guardian and recently expanded into publishing with The Fug Awards. Bostonist caught up with Heather......

Let’s face it, you could wear a vintage Diane Von Furstenberg signature wrap dress, and it’s nothing without the proper accessories. It’s all about the shoes. Period. End of story. Anyone who tells you different obviously is insane and you should contact your local authorities and have them locked up. So while you're watching Cindy Fitzgibbon’s forecast hoping for a day where you can walk out of the nail salon after getting the perfect......

It’s been pretty quiet on the fashion front. The shows in Europe are almost over and the Spring/Summer collections are on display in store fronts up and down Newbury Street. So in between listening to Papelbon complain and trying to get tickets to see Shiny Toy Guns on St. Patrick’s Day, why not take a well deserved fashion break. Fashionistas on a budget should check out Jovovich Hawk at Target. Models Mila Jovovich and Carmen......

Second only to the awards themselves, fashion is one of the main reasons why so many of us watch the Oscars. So along with everyone else out there with a blog and a voice, we’ve decided to give you our opinion on fashion last night. We’ll save you from our opinions on the winners and why Amy Ryan was robbed and stick to what we know. Fashion. Amy Adams was probably one of the best......

The 21st century has seen dramatic improvements in faking it. These days we've got bigger and better fake nails, fake hair, fake boobs, and now? Fake eyelashes. Lux Lash, at 232 Newbury Street, offers semi-permanent lash extensions that last from a weekend to two months. The finished result is like a 24-7 application of lengthening and thickening mascara. Bostonist isn't entirely sold on the transformational powers of synthetic lashes, even if they are individually applied......

Much to the dismay of many of us out there, we can thank that overgrown rat from Pennsylvania for six more weeks of winter. Now while this might prove many people’s point that nothing good comes out of that state, Punxsutawney Phil's response means four more weeks of bad weather and dry indoor heating that will take a toll on your skin. But the Bostonist is here to help. We know your pain, so we......

Fashion Week for Fall 2008 has come to a close. Yes, everyone from Anne Hathaway to K.Fed sat with Anna Wintour and Andre Leon Talley and witnessed what Boston can expect from the fashion world in a matter of months. There was the usual drama and gossip that surfaced--Donna Karan is the latest victim of PETA’s wrath, and Rachel Zoe wasn't let into Marc Jacobs' show--that’s what you get for talking smack about Anna. As......

Bostonist knows a girl who once got lingerie on Valentine's Day from her Dunkin' Donuts guy. They weren't dating or anything. He just thought a bra & panty set was an appropriate "getting to know you" gift. Take our advice: if you don't have access to her drawers, both literal and figurative, do not give her lingerie. If you are able to check her tags (or are one of the four people on earth who......

Thanks to the Museum of Fine Arts’s ongoing exhibit Walk This Way, shoe-loving Bostonians have found a new excuse for their obsession: They’re not just conspicuous consumers, they’re art collectors. The exhibit—which shows shoes as pieces of art as well as symbols of wealth and power throughout the ages—is cleverly spread throughout the MFA’s galleries, organized, according to the program, as a “treasure hunt” for visitors. (Bostonist’s companion had more fun reading the map than......

Valentine’s Day is coming up next week and women everywhere are shopping like crazy to find the perfect outfit for that special date. So what about all of those single girls who have a whole lot of nothing planned for that evening? Many of them will do the generic, sit home in sweats, eat ice cream out of the container, and curse their friends who are part of a couple. Bostonist would like to recommend......

A spring-loaded dress, a sun-lit fan, and a purse with a built-in alarm system were just a few of the futuristic fashions on display at the Seamless: Computational Couture fashion show at the Museum of Science on Wednesday. Over 1000 design and technology lovers packed three floors of the MoS's Blue Wing to admire clothes and accessories ranging from sublime (an air-filled dress that changes shape based on barometric pressure) to sci-fi (a burial suit......

With the change of seasons comes the change of wardrobes. Millions of women all over will be switching over the purses, shoes, and clothes they live in for the next few months. Many of these women will try desperately to look like a million bucks and be the epitome of what Anna Wintour would consider “high fashion.” But the grim reality of it all is that the vast majority of women out there do not......

Bostonist will be bringing several fashion writers on board in the next few weeks. And now, meet Jocelyn Celeste! According to the powers that be, men’s wear for women is making a comeback in ‘08. Yes, ladies will be able to start channeling their inner Diane Keaton and dress in the most unfeminine, frumpy clothing ever. Because that’s what all straight guys want--to bone themselves and then fight with their girlfriends over who gets to......
