I am a huge Christina Hendricks fan in so, so many ways. I’m a Mad Men devotee, of course, and Hendricks’ Joan is the emotional center of the show, not to mention the female character with the best one-liners. Hendricks herself is also an inspiration – she’s pale, extremely curvy and so unlike most of the famous actresses working today. As another pale, curvy girl working in an industry that often doesn’t celebrate those attributes, I feel a certain sense of sisterhood with Ms. Hendricks.
We have to talk about these pink pants, though. They’re just…not great on her. They weren’t last time we caught her wearing them, and they’re still not quite working for me. Finding things that work perfectly on such a curvy body can be a real challenge, particularly on the high-end market, but I’d so much prefer her to see Christina in a cigarette pant than a pair of unstructured wide-leg trousers. I’m all for wearing whatever you want, no matter your body type, but it’s one of the few looks that I think truly only works on the Karlie Kloss types among us; not just thin girls, but girls who are also well above average height. The Salvatore Ferragamo Shoulder Bag, however, can stay.

True confession: I don’t like Glee. I so want to like it, and I think that baby gay Chris Colfer is adorable and talented, and I hope that he’ll have a long career that will allow me to enjoy his work in other forms. For the life of me, though, I just can’t get on board with his current show. I get a not-so-great vibe about Lea Michele in particular, despite the fact that she’s undeniably talented. Still, though, I can’t shake the impression that she’s a person I might not care for, were I to meet her in face-to-face. I’m aware that’s a controversial statement among her many dedicated fans.

I’m not overly familiar with Sophia Bush because I was never a regular One Tree Hill watcher, but Megs was (and still is) obsessed with the show and with Ms. Bush in particular. Megs even got to meet her at Fashion Week last year, and based on her report on the experience, it seems as though Sophia is indeed good people. She’s also carrying quite a good bag in these photos, don’t you think?
It’s August, which means we’re in the doldrums of both fashion news and celebrity news, leading to things like yesterday’s screenwriting adventure with the Ecclestone sisters, who are out shopping and getting their nails done no matter the season. Slowly, though, things are getting a bit closer to normal – first Gossip Girl started shooting, and now Shameless star Emmy Rossum is back on the lot. We’ll have relief from the summer gossip slump soon!
I’ve been waiting forever for our photo service to catch Kim Kardashian out and about with her new Hermes Crocodile Birkin, and the day has finally come! The agency we use hasn’t been sweating Kim as much as they usually do, so it took us a little longer to get these photos than we would have preferred, but here it is – black, reptilian, outrageously expensive. And…paired with hot pink Nike running shoes?
I love it when someone who can clearly afford all the bags she wants breaks out a favorite from years past. Not only does it show an appreciation for what they have, but it indicates a well-developed sense of style; a bag doesn’t stop being beautiful just because something newer and shinier caught your eye. In fact, the right kind of bag in the right kind of leather can stand the test of time better than most fashion things. Here to prove my point is classic supermodel Christy Turlington and her beautiful whiskey tan Chloe Edith Satchel.
Another day, another opportunity for Petra Ecclestone (the blonde one, if you’re new) and Tamara Ecclestone (the brunette, natch) to carry their Birkins. If I went a week without seeing photos like these, I’d probably become concerned about the sisters’ safety. What if someone were to kidnap them, or even worse, kidnap their bags? Surely, though, they have some sort of security detail, so we can enjoy their Birkins in peace (and so can they). 
Because Reese Witherspoon tends to act more like a regular career-minded mom and less like a crazy Hollywood actress when she’s out in public, it can be easy to lose track of her in the deluge of Internet gossip. I suspect that’s exactly how she likes it, but it so that I lose track of when she’s, say, pregnant. Like now, for instance. I totally forgot that Reese Witherspoon was pregnant, but it’s pretty hard to stay ignorant based on these photos.
