On Friday, New York Magazine’s blog, The Cut, reported that Adam Lambert is in talks to launch a full out makeup line for men. No, we aren’t just talking about a touch of flash bronzer or tinted moisturizer a la Clinique here; this would be the whole kit and caboodle. I have a few very vain exes that I could see dabbling in the world of man makeup and one commenter on The Cut even went so far as claiming that no straight man in NYC leaves home without a swipe or two or Touche Eclat (can’t blame them really, it is the best darn product in the universe!)…

I know a lot of ladies have strong feelings about her, but I genuinely like Kristen Stewart. She is not, however, someone I would consider to have an innate sense of style. In fact, during her greasy mullet, tied up t-shirt and ill-fitting jeans phase I would say she was subscribing to an anti-style—and not in the “I don’t give a damn, but still look impossibly cool” way.  Over the last couple weeks, however, KStew seemed to be going through a bit of a ladylike transformation—she even washed her hair and traded in her Converse for heels! See what I’m talking about after the jump.

Cleaning out your makeup bag is one thing, but cleaning out your closet, well, that can just be a plain old nightmare. When your closet is as big as Oprah Winfrey’s, however, that’s when a professional interventionist comes in handy. Luckily for O, she has one on staff at her magazine, otherwise known as Creative Director, Adam Glassman. The queen of daytime has been doing just that (with the help of Glassman, naturally) and you won’t believe what she’s doing with her designer castoffs….

Fashionists rejoice! Today marks the DVD release of the Vogue documentary, The September Issue, about the making of the magazine’s “style bible” (aka the 2007 September edition) and, perhaps more importantly, the world’s most notorious editrix, Anna Wintour. Being the slightly less than fabulous city Calgary is, we didn’t get the film in theatres until months after it was released (in fact, I think it only started playing here about a month ago) so imagine my happy surprise when I went to the mailbox last week and found a screener waiting for me. While I was already a fan of Wintour’s tough-as-nails demeanour (I intend to be just like her one day), I knew that the film could certainly teach me a thing or two about the crazy business that is fashion magazines. Check out the life lessons I gathered from Ms. Wintour and the Vogue gang after the jump. 

Back in November we saw the beginning of a new trend in bun placement happening. First there was Rachel Bilson, followed by Cameron Diaz (who personally inspired me to try the look) and then the lovely January Jones at the GQ Man of the Year awards, all moving their updos to the crowns of their heads. This past week, though, there has been a massive surge in super-high bun activity on the fashion scene—sometimes with awesome results and sometimes, well, not so much...

What goes around certainly comes around in the world of style, but there are a few trends that probably should have been forgotten the first time. Case in point: the crop top. Now, I would never recommend Stephanie Pratt as a style icon, but the girl does have the tendency for jumping on trends—both good and bad. This past weekend she was spotted down in South Beach, with the other cast members of The Hills, sporting a stomach baring black silk number among other horrendous articles of clothing. Makes me wonder if we have this tacky trend to look forward to all spring and summer? Sound off on the crop top and see Pratt’s interpretation after the jump.

For the last couple months there has been a certain trend popping up in fashion editorials around the world that I have been trying to ignore. Unfortunately, now that the shepherd of all fashion sheep (aka. Kate Moss) has adopted this look as her own I am afraid that I won’t be able to sweep it under the rug anymore. It’s only a matter of time until this doozy saturates the European hipster scene and hops across the pond to infest the North American market….

It used to be that we only had one Olsen to worry about; Mary-Kate was clearly the wild child, dressing like a bag lady, battling eating disorders and generally not giving a flying hoot what anyone thought about it. Ashley, on the other hand, could usually be counted on to bring a little refinement, stability and class to the pair. Lately, though, it’s Ashley that has been causing me distress on the red carpet. Sure, Mary-Kate still looks a hot-mess most of the time, but I have come to expect/accept it as part of her charm. Ashley, unfortunately, just doesn't pull off the avant-garde crazy look quite as well....

We are all well aware that Heidi Montag and her husband, The Prince of Darkness, oh wait I’m sorry, Spencer Pratt, have done some pretty questionable things in the name of publicity. In fact, by now I suspect we are all pretty used to their staged photo shoots, staged pregnancy scares and staged “music videos”. What I was not expecting from Montag, however, was People magazine’s cover story revealing that the 23-year-old had undergone 10 plastic surgeries in one shot this November, leaving her looking like a slightly trannylicious/blowup doll version of her former self…

Have you guys seen the February issue of Glamour on newsstands yet? Because it looks like someone took my New Year’s resolution suggestions to heart! Yes, I know that the photos would have be shot long before I ever so gently suggested that the adorable Katy Perry needed to step away from the costumes and theme outfits and start working on a signature style, but it makes me oh-so-happy to see her living up to her fabulous fashion potential….
