Heidi Montag gets phy-si-cal in American Apparel

Hills star Heidi Montag has been taking her music career to the next level with an workout inspired music video. Where do you go to dress like an aerobic sex stars of the 80s? AA of course. Heidi can be seen rocking the shiny in both shiny and matte black, with a bandeau bra, three striped knee highs, shiny wide headband. The "higher" signer also sported sparkle pantyhose, legwarmers and the skinny nylon webbing belt in teal.

The stylist practically one-stop-shopped at AA for the dance crew as well. The zipper bodysuit, zebra print leggings, legwarmers, terry headbands, wristbands, shiny stirrup tights and many others pieces were keeping things tight and bright!

Omondieu! LC's Le Deux Collection is Over-priced

I, like many other girls my age, adore Lauren Conrad. On monday nights, the television is our own personal window to Los Angeles, New York and Paris. I have never missed an episode of The Hills, I’ve been to the Live Aftershow a few times and ‘reality’ drama dominates all of my tuesday conversations.  However, our darling Lauren would like to divert our attention from her social life to her latest endeavors in design.  Here comes some tough love.  

The FIDM student was just spotted in Holt Renfrew showing her collection this last weekend, but some fashionista’s might not think that her designs are quite up to par.  Lets keep it real, jersey is a cheap material.  Who would pay more that $20 for a tank top or pair of leggings anyways?   The newest Le Deux Collection is cute and wearable, but maybe not realistic in terms of price.   I guess it’s all about branding!  I think that if you’re going to pay for a name, you might as well pay for the quality of the fabric, and the design as well. 

If you aren’t ready to drop $150+ dollars on a mini dress you swore you saw at Old Navy, Costa Blanca, H&M or Gap (get the idea?), save yourself the cash and get the LA look around the mall.  No hard feelings Lauren, we just expect more from you.  Spend less time socializing and more time designing!

Although I talk a big game, I do have my eye on a maxi dress. No worries. It’ll be it at Zara. 

Cuddly Karl

The fashion industry has put out a variety of toys and non wearable trinkets in the last couple of years mostly in dolls. Lanvin created a line of figurines of his designs, Kidrobot and Visionaire designed a line of simple dolls representing everyone from Comme des Garcons, to Vivienne Westwood.

Designers had yet to tap into the teddy bear market, until now.Karl Lagerfeld, fashion dynamo and designer of 3 fashion houses will be immortalized in fabric and fuzz as a stuffed animal. German teddy bear maker Steiff will create a cuddly Karl in his infamous uniform: Dark glasses, a black suit, high white shirt collar and logo belt buckle. Need someone to silently criticize your outfit before you leave the house? Just place your plushy Karl by your mirror for instantaneous insight. WWKD?(What Would Karl Do?)
