>>  As promised, Marc Jacobs decided to go with models for his Fall 2008 campaign after a whirlwind tour of Victoria Beckham in bag, Victoria Beckham in box, et al. for Spring.  Taking over the reins are veterans Kirsten Owen and Stella Tennant (who is perfect for the collection, with her punk edge), carrying on the seasons' trend for using well-established models over the age of 30 — both ladies are 38.

Summer Trends: Orange Nail Polish

Agent Orange

We're currently enamored of orange nail polish, and so, it seems, is Agent 99.

We're currently enamored of orange nail polish, and so, it seems, is Agent 99. According to network partner Cuffington, in the recent remake of the 60's classic, Get Smart, our favorite gun-toting secret agent sports chic, tangerine nails. The look is just in time for a hot summer. We know it's bold, but this isn't the coral-orange favored by leathery, Palm Beach ladies. We were thinking more like the orange creamsicle that's dripping down your arm, or the mimosas you dream of sipping poolside as the weekend draws near. It's fresh, fun, and totally indulgent. Good thinking, 99.

We're fans of Essie's Mini Shorts, from the newly released Neon Collection, and OPI's Mod About Brights collection, which includes shades ranging from mango to sunset orange. We advise keeping nails short for this look. Long, bright orange talons only work if you're a comic book villainess.

Obsessed With Treesje

The Daily Obsession is obsessed with Treesje.
by coutorture The Daily Obsession is obsessed with Treesje. With the proliferation of independent handbag lines it can be difficult to find lines products worth following but we trust the girls at the Daily Obsession implicitly to discover the good ones before anyone else. They are excited for the launch of the La Luna collection. The metallics are certainly compelling but regardless of the collection the detailing on their bags is impressive. Being stuck in JFK we can't be much more coherent than that but at 3:30am all we can think is PRETTY! Thus we give you pretty.

Fashion in 50 Seconds 6/9

We never much enjoyed spending time in malls but everyone's favorite fast fashion retailer Forever 21 is doing their best to change that.
by coutorture We never much enjoyed spending time in malls but everyone's favorite fast fashion retailer Forever 21 is doing their best to change that. They have decided they are now large enough to anchor entire malls. We aren't quite sure they are Macy's material but really now that its all high low why don't we just have Forever 21 and Louis Vuitton co-anchor malls and get rid of Federated entirely? Like we noted in Brian Reyes' collection, pastels are huge for cruise. "Powerful men know how to dress themselves and often stick to a uniform. Each of the men in our list has given a teasing twist to traditional tailoring and made the look entirely their own." Esquire's fashion director, Catherine Hayward, said that all the men had been chosen for their idiosyncrasies. Supermodels are back in fashion! No really, except its the same damn super models from last time around. Isn't there anyone from the new generation with a little personality? Isaac Mizarhi makes his own hair pomade. We really love this man and not just because its 3am and we are writing these from JFK.
