Irina Lazareanu and Blur bass player Alex James play lovebirds in the new fashion movie for Brit brand Aubin & Wills, and the result is totally adorable.

Oh, and a bonus: Lazareanu even provides the vocals for the backing track in the video, performing her single “The King.”

Lana Del Rey Not Coming to Fashion Week – So Who Is?!

Monday, February 6th, 2012

lanaLast week we called out the trends, soundtracks, and front row fixtures we expected to see at Fashion Week this season.

Now here’s an update:

Although her songs will probably make a cameo or two on the runways, we heard firsthand that Lana del Rey will not at the shows this time around.

We’re actually disappointed, especially given her new British VOGUE cover, fake Prada ad, and all…

But that being said, who do you think will be most spotted at the shows?

Liza’s hoping for Revenge’s Ashley Madekwe, while Faran’s keeping her eye out for anyone from GLEE.

Other contenders: Emma Roberts, Blake Lively, and the Fannings.

Tell us your predictions in the comments!

fashion movie: lanvin

Monday, February 6th, 2012

Alber Elbaz features 18-year-old singer and YouTube sensation Maxine Ashley in his Lanvin SS12 video campaign, and the result is kind of amazing.

The song in the video is called “Cookie Man” and will be featured on her upcoming album, produced by Pharrell (who also apparently discovered her online- whoa).

But for now, check out the internet phenom here and prepare to be blown away.

Best Dressed: Rooney Mara in Louis Vuitton

Monday, February 6th, 2012

RooneyWe couldn’t spot Rooney Mara with her family at the Super Bowl yesterday, but we do enjoy this red carpet shot from the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.

Rooney’s wearing a forest green Louis Vuitton dress and shoes from their pre-fall collection.

We love the color, the cute little ponytail -

Basically everything.

If you’re into the look, try J. Crew’s Selma dress in green taffeta for a similar vibe.

If you’re into the photo, check out the neatly-named source, beauty is diverse.

dsFact: it’s impossible to go anywhere in New York without bumping into someone with a Fjallraven backpack.

But if you want to stand out from the sea of kids in the Swedish brand’s signature square daypacks, here’s an alternative.

The new “Numbers” collection has a studier feel with leather straps and tons of room for all your stuff.

And while it would be the perfect thing for a weekend hiking trip, let’s be honest: it would work just as well pounding the city sidewalks.

So mark you calendar for March 1 when they arrive online, and get it before everyone else.

Best Dressed: Emma Roberts

Way to rock Casual Friday with a ’70s flair, Emma!  The bell bottoms with the Rachel Zoe platform heels and the striped shirt and the giant sunglasses – so cute!  So fresh!  So easy for anyone to pull off with a quick trip to The Gap or J. Crew!

P.S.  Emma’s tee is by Elizabeth and James (get it here!)
