This series of photographs from Kevin Bauman is pretty amazing. What is it about abandoned houses that is so ... attractive? They just seem to make me want to go explore. And I really don't like dirt or spiders, so what is that all about?

Apparently everyone else found out about Noah Kalina about 3 years ago when he made his video, "Everday," public. I found out about him via a parody on an episode of the Simpsons. Actually, I didn't even know I was watching a parody... I was trying to figure out what the song used in the episode was, and came across the original video on youtube.Anyway, I think he's amazing, especially his "What

I don't care how much beauty editors rave about Maybelline Great Lash Mascara (they do it for the ad sales) or how iconic the pink and green tube is supposed to be (it's ugly). The stuff sucks. It makes your eyelashes clump and then it flakes down onto your cheeks over the course of the day, making you look like everyone's favorite dumpster-diving rodent. Every time someone even mentions it, I

There's been a lot of buzz this year about the Oscars. The nominations are out, the office pools have started, there have been so many great films this year, so many critically-acclaimed achievements... But who cares? I just want to see the dresses!Part of the pre-Academy Awards excitement is speculating about which stars are going to wear which designers. (Is Meryl Streep going for a couture

Keep an eye out for Jason Wu, the lately-made fashion phenom who designed Michelle Obama's Inauguration dress, on an upcoming episode of The City.An industry source says that the young designer met Diane von Furstenberg and some of her employees (including Whitney Port) recently for lunch at her flagship store and offices in New York's Meatpacking district. It was only as Jason was on his way out

Isn't she talented? She's a foodie, a critic, a TV host, a writer (take a deep breath Mr. Rushdie, there's no comparison), and now apparently a jewelry designer. Padma Lakshmi has just introduced a self-designed jewelry line, not surprisingly dubbed "Padma," complete with a lookbook with shots of the jewelry and ... herself. While it is important to incorporate oneself, especially in a flailing

At around 12:45 tonight, as I was curled up on my couch with a lovely cashmere blanket, a slightly unlovely pit bull, and a certain novel by Jacqueline Susann with pills on the cover, I got a message from my boyfriend, who is waiting tables. It said he'd be home late, as Zac Posen had just walked in, and asked for him by name. (I might be making that very last part up). I have cajoled, nudged,

... but I am REALLY excited about the fact that Fashion Week is moving. While it's sad to see the shows leave their original home at Bryant Park, I couldn't be more pleased that they are creeping ever so much closer to MY APARTMENT. Beginning with the Spring '11 collections (that's this fall, people), the shows will be held at Damrosch Park, in Lincoln Center, assumedly in the pink highlighted

I hate it when people dress up their dogs. In the words of my editor at the magazine, "That's just abuse." And it is! Let's think about this:1. Putting extra clothing on your pet can overheat them. Your dog has fur, which is sufficient to keep it within a homeostatic temperature range in the climate for which it was bred. Generally, this climate is analagous to your climate controlled apartment,

The season finale of Elle-based "reality" TV show Stylista just aired, and, um, it was amazing. The show itself has been sort of tedious and irritating. It would have been nice, for example, if they had actually shot in the Elle office instead of a set, if the staffers were actually able to walk in their 5-inch heels instead of tottering awkwardly, if Anne Slowey had just been herself instead of

Probably I should have posted this yesterday as it was happening, but I was hustling between selecting Dr. Seuss-esque head pieces from Suzanne Couture Millinery for a cover shoot and an appointment with a new jewelry designer 30 blocks away. Next time I'll be more on the ball. Anyway, it snowed properly here for the first time all winter. It was magical! It was beautiful! It happened all at once

Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure it's not cosmically fair for a woman with this bone structure and these legs to also be quite good at something that requires talent, intelligence, or artistic capability. And yet. Tonight I went to the opening of Helena Christensen's latest exhibition, "Far From, Close" which is being held at the Dactyl Foundation - and it was pretty great. I really wanted to

I'd like to take a moment to go all high school yearbook and award a superlative. I am so in love with the hair from Gucci's Spring 09 runway.The dark-on-top-light-on-the-bottom effect adds so much depth and texture and is SO much fresher and more subtle than streaky highlights. Luigi Murenu, who created the hair for the show, should be commended for rethinking the dip-dye trend. Here I thought I

They're beautifully crafted, interminably chic, and way more comfortable than the 4-inch heels that are altering the shape of my feet by slowly increasing increments each day. Also, they're Lanvin. $319 at barneys.com (normally $530).
