[STYLE IN SPADES]

LOVE: Modern Day Edie Sedgwick- Becka Diamond

Posted in By Em, LOVE, NEXT, WATCH by styleinspades on February 8, 2010
Coolest moment this week would have to be seeing Becka Diamond on a fashion shoot. At first I didn’t recognize her because her normally stick straight platinum blonde hair was, well… I’ll just say very different.

This was me (on the inside, of course) when I realized who she was:
Clueless from Style In Spades
.
She’s fairly new to the fashion scene, so I wouldn’t be surprised if not everybody knows who she is. The only reason I do, is because I’m an insane person who stalks the crap out of everyone on Street Peeper

So, in a nut shell, Becka Diamond is an aspiring actress from Boston. She was dubbed fashion’s new It Girl this September when she made the rounds at New York Fashion Week’s hottest shows & parties. Her best friend is model Dree Hemingway, with whom she is often photographed.

She is gorgeous in person & super charismatic.
Pretty sure there will be a lot of buzz about her come fashion week.

WANT: Gossip Girl Spade Necklace

Posted in By Em, LOVE, WANT by styleinspades on January 28, 2010
For the past few years I’ve wanted an Alex Woo necklace. I thought the letter pendants were a great alternative to the Sex and the City nameplate necklaces everyone was wearing at the time. Since then, Alex Woo has come out with new collections ranging in design from numbers to symbols.

.

Predictably, I was most interested in the Little Vegas collection. I spotted Jenny Humphrey wearing the gold Little Vegas Spade necklace in the Dan de Fleurette episode this season.

Also, in an earlier episode, Blair wore Alex Woo’s Little Big Vegas Spade in white gold & diamonds. This makes sense because the suit of spades is often times the most powerful suit in a deck of cards. If you follow Gossip Girl, it should make sense that J and B wear necklaces that connote power. Blair was the “Queen of Constance” last year & Jenny has since taken her place.
.
.
It is fitting then, that Blair’s necklace is a bit bigger and brighter than Jenny’s. After all, she was the original ruler of the school & Jenny was merely a wannabe just a few episodes ago.

Here’s another funny Alex Woo spotting on Gossip Girl. Jenny’s three minions wear Little Number necklaces 1, 2, and 3 in silver. Not only is it completely degrading to be referred to as a number, but their necklaces are made of silver. Silver is nice but it doesn’t compare to Jenny’s gold or Blair’s diamonds. The necklaces definitely say a lot about their personalities (or lack there of).

Oh, Little J, how you’ve changed. Just a few seasons ago you were parading about the Met steps in a bright yellow trench.

Now you sulk around the city streets with a YSL bag financed by drug money. Tisk tisk.

No wonder your sweet potatoes are bland.
