Suzy Menkes Disapproves of Revivals and Marc Jacobs
When we heard International Herald Tribune fashion writer Suzy Menkes was going to speak at the Academy of Art University San Francisco, we decided we must get ourselves there, even though technically we're not students. But really — isn't one always a student of fashion? I think so .
Dress Me Up: Modern Pinup
Perry is the perfect example of a modern pinup girl. Most of you weren't feeling
Fab Finger Discount: Betsey Johnson Polka Dot Sandal
All wardrobes can use a bit of retro from time to time. This Betsey Johnson Lanica Sandal ($48, originally $160) will put fun back into your step. Aren't they oh so Dita?
LA Fashion Week Spring 2008, Chick by Nicky Hilton: Love It or Hate It?
Nicky Hilton's Spring 2008 collection for her line, Chick by Nicky Hilton, is retro with a modern twist. This apple print halter mini dress is one of the many cutesy pieces Paris' little sis designed. Although apples aren't one of my favorite fruits (I mean does an apple a day really keep the doctor away?), I would wear this frock because it's lighthearted, fun and super girly.

There's nothing I like more than a casually cool ensemble. Check out Ti sporting a rad '80s 'fit. Her retro Diesel jacket is brimming with old school flavor, and I like how her headband adds a hippie touch — funky fresh!
2009 Primetime Emmy Awards: Mila Kunis
I totally have a girl crush on Mila Kunis, and the fact that she did something a little different on the Emmy red carpet tonight makes me adore her more. Her burgundy, layered-tulle Monique Lhuillier gown has a retro vibe, but her patent platform pumps are totally youthful. Her vintage earrings are divine .
Fab Finding Follow Up: Retro Glam It Up
Last week a reader wrote me saying she bought these fierce Betsey Johnson Avril beaded peep toe pumps, $229.99, and needed help putting together a 'retro glam' outfit. She is heading to Miami for a wild escape with the girls in a couple of weeks. I said: think Studio 54 meets David Bowie.
Fabworthy: Retro Swimwear at Urban Outfitters
For being such a fashion fiend, I don't have that many bathing suits. I don't blame myself for my lack of swimwear; I blame swimsuit designers. So many bathing suits look like clones of one another; they're either triangle top, skimpy, tacky — or all of the above.
