Hello, bonjour, nei-ho, and ciao Nylonettes!! Cover stars Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen (for NYLON Guys) star in the new movie Jumper, which I checked out over the weekend. It was worldly eye candy for a xenophile like myself — I highly recommend it for fans of adventure and culture. Besides feasting on grand panoramic views of Egypt, Paris, Rome, the Arctic, Hong Kong, and New York City, UK-based actor Jamie Bell was the film’s additional sweet bonus as a wise-cracking confidant-cum-villain. Intense!!

Anyway, real-life fashion darling Bilson doesn’t get much of a wardrobe in Jumper, but the name of the movie got me thinking of a different kind of jumper….the jumper dress!! By definition, a jumper dress is meant to be worn over a shirt but nowadays you can nix the top and still serve a jumper’s purpose of making someone look precious and adorable. And we all know that Rachel B. knows a thing or two about layering dresses over tanks and tees! So now let’s hop around to some online retailers and take a look at some cute jumpers (most of which are now on sale) that you can add to your spring closet.

Yoooo sneakerheads! NYC jewelry designer Gabriel Urist (who has a license with the NBA) has done a sick collab with adidas to create the official footwear of the Celebrity All-Star Game that’s happening February 14-17 in New Orleans.

From the color schemes of tans and golds, to the unique combo of Asian-inspired floral print with a wood panel aesthetic, it’s apparent that Urist designed the adidas TS ProModel with his sporty jeweler’s sensibilities — that embodying the spirit of athletic beauty…

YOOOO guys! Last night I went to see the Broadway rock musical Spring Awakening for, like, the fifth time.

Can’t get enough. Based on the Frank Wedekind play by the same name, the show is about a group of precocious German teens coming-of-age during the 1890s. But with spring literally around the corner, I just got so inspired by the outfits orchestrated by Costume Designer Susan Hilferty. Some of the stuff is pretty incredible and here are some pics.

Happy Fashion Week everyone! New York is really happening right now, but as our latest issue w/ The Kills can attest, London will always be another city of cultural inspiration. Speaking of which, there’s an amazing British television series called Skins that I’m obsessed with (the show’s going into its second season in a few days!) about a crazy group of trouble-making teens in Bristol. So good!!

But even better are the outfits worn by my favorite character Cassie. She’s the blonde in the middle, the one with the funky socks and serious style…
