Spent yesterday afternoon internet obsessing over HBO’s new series Girls (see first episode courtesy of HBO here), especially the character Jessa Johansson (above midde, played by Jemima Kirke), reading everything there is to read, watching all the videos, etc. I like to imagine my 20s self was Jessa, but the truth is more like two parts Jessa , eight parts Hannah Horvath (above left, played by the show’s writer/director Lena Dunham) and an as-of-yet-to-be-determined-parts Marnie Michaels (above right, played by Allison Williams). That was always a fun part of Sex & the City, figuring out who and how much you identify with each character and the things they do that make you love them and even better sort of struggle to like them…just like real people!

We had to crack up, around the HS offices, we try to stay positive but like all fashion folks we sometimes succumb to what we call ”having a snob moment.” While driving around NYC today, Kanye decided to document his snobbery on Twitter:

“Just driving through the city and I see a few thing I hate…I hate button  up shirts with hoodies. I hate hoodies with sport coats. I hate sports coats with button up shirts, jeans and dress shoes. I hate khaki trench coats with jeans and off brand work out sneakers. I hate khaki cargo shorts. I hate big ass striped scarves. I hate long ass sideburns with the line-up [R&B] beard….all this in 5 blocks. Detest. #I’m on my snob.”

What are your fashion pet peeves? I’m gonna let you in on one of mine. For my life I cannot stand a top that matches the tights but is set off by a skirt of a different color. So like a black top, black tights, but say a grey or any other color skirt. To me it’s like a wrong Oreo cookie and it sort of makes me mad to even see it! I have a few others, but I’ll stop there. For now.

Kate Upton was photographed and video-taped by Terry Richardson earlier this week, and here is one of the outtakes. Nice pants ; )

We’ve seen pictures of him, read about him however Olivier Rousteing remained somewhat mysterious. Balmain puts his pretty face front and center to announce their official Facebook and Twitter accounts.

I’ve wanted leather pants for as long as I can remember and for the most part, black and slim have always been the theme. However looking at this cool green version, colored leather is looking very nice. While  the side embroidery hints at a Mariachi suit, the look  can work. Available at Asos.

Inspired by cartoon super heroes, Romance Was Born brings  humour and style to its  Spring 2013 collection. Titled “Beserkergang” ( translation: Norse warrior)  we can’t help but  love everything about the looks and the theme.  See more on the flip via.

Creating an  effortless versatility, the All Saints Autumn/Winter 2012 collection brings in all the elements of a well balanced,  modern wardrobe. Chic separates with the occasional emboidered pieces that have become the brand’s signature, as well as subtle patterns,  covetable outerwear and accessories make up the bulk of the new assortment. We ‘re also smitten with  the new line of sleek pumps,  the men’s camo jackets as well as all the bags. On the next page take  a closer look at some of our favorites. Images courtesy of Highsnobette.
