Chanel Resort 2009 Collection

Here are my fave looks from the Chanel Resort 2009 Collection. I realize I'm a few days late, don't have a heart attack.

Bravo Karl. Well done, with the exception of that dress that looked like it was trimmed in Saran Wrap.

Vending Machine Bliss

I totally stole this picture from Kill City. Just a heads up.

This sneaker vending machine is pure genius. I love it. It was created by Onitsuka Tiger, and first showed up on Carnaby street in London. It will continue to make appearances all around the UK.

There should be vending machines for all types of basic clothing. I mean, haven't you ever found yourself in an unfortunate sweaty pit situation, or perhaps with uncomfortably wet socks? If you were in a hurry, you could pop in your credit card and *boop* you'd get what you needed. I need this in my life.

Go Frenchies!

My favorite stylish country, France, has decided to push a bill through French Parlement and Senate that will ban the promoting of extreme thin-ness in public. This includes magazines, websites, TV shows, celebrities, ect.

Hell yes. It's about time. It's illegal to promote crack cocaine in public, so why the hell isn't promoting anorexia illegal? Both things are addictive, and can kill you. I always knew I loved the French.

According to MSNBC, Didier Grumbach, the President of the French Federation of Couture:

“Never will we accept in our profession that a judge decides if a young girl is skinny or not skinny,” he said. “That doesn’t exist in the world, and it will certainly not exist in France.”

Whatevs Didier. Odds are you've never felt pressure to lose weight.

Vive Les Francais and their anti-ano law.

Marimekko For H&M

Finnish textile design house Marimekko is coming to an H&M near you. It's not a full-on collabo, it's more of a tribute by H&M to the legendary institution.

Marimekko became tots major in the US after Jackie O. bought some stuff from them to wear during the 1960 presidential campaign.

Click on the title of the post and check out WWWD for a full report of the upcoming designs, along with photos. Or, go to www.hm.com. Above is a pretty Marimekko print that I love.
