NEXT: Kristen Stewart Elle Magazine Photo Shoot

Posted in By Em, NEXT by styleinspades on May 6, 2010
It has been way too long since my last Kristen Stewart style post. Definitely been a while since I wrote about Elle Magazine too… (major sarcasm- see last two posts)
.
Check out these behind-the-scenes photos of Kristen’s Elle Magazine shoot:

.

^Chanel dress & necklace; House of Lavnde necklace worn as a belt
.
I hope she doesn’t become a “Chanel Girl.” Emma Watson wore Chanel practically 24/7 before she began modeling for Burberry. Diane Kruger, Rachel Bilson, and Kirsten Dunst are a few more examples. I like Chanel, but I loved the direction Kristen’s style started to take earlier this year when she wore Yigal Azrouël, mesh Balenciaga, and acid green Proenza Schouler. Now all she seems to wear is Chanel.

.

Anyways, here are some photos from the making of the creepy set:

.

.

I told you it was creepy:

.

She tells Elle “It’s insane! Once somebody finds out, you have to get the hell out of wherever you are. People freak out. And the photographers, they’re vicious.” Hence the stalker themed set. Really, this is the sort of room you’d expect to see on Law & Order…
.
She goes on to say “Somebody knocked on my hotel room door and asked for a light, then said that they were a big fan. I was like, ‘Do you really need me to light your cigarette? How do you know what room I’m in?” Who does that?

TREND: Kristen Stewart & Balenciaga Unzipped

Posted in By Em, TREND by styleinspades on March 7, 2010
Ok, so this isn’t so much of a trend as it is a random, weird observation. In a few promo pics for The Runaways movie, Kristen Stewart wears unzipped leather pants:

.
Why? I don’t know. I do, however, know that I saw something very similar at the Balenciaga Fall 2010 RTW show:

.
Coincidence? I think not. Probably.

XYZ.

TREND: Orange Eyebrows at Balenciaga

Posted in By Em, LOVE, TREND by styleinspades on March 4, 2010
This is quite possibly the most amazing thing ever. A few models at the Balenciaga show sported dyed eyebrows in absurd colors ranging from pink to blue, green and orange. Amazing.

Clearly a variation of the Vena Cava and Cynthia Rowley crazy color streak hair.

NEXT: Sperry Top-Siders…For the Next Time You’re “ON A BOAT”

Posted in By Em, NEXT by styleinspades on February 25, 2010
I love, love, love Sperry Top-Siders. I guess that explains (or excuses) why I took a really sketchy photo of my friend Jessica’s Sperrys the last time we hung out on the High Line. They’re very classic and look better the more you wear them; sort of like how a Balenciaga motorcycle bag looks best broken-in.
.

.

In 1935, Paul Sperry invented the first boat shoe for sailors. Check out French sailor, Florence Arthaud, snapped wearing a pair before a boat race in 1980:

.

Now, Sperry is offering the Authentic Original style in a platinum gold version to celebrate their 75th anniversary:
And of course…they’re waterproof! Available here.
