Freaky or Fabulous? Tattered-Up Agyness Deyn

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 05:00:22 PDT

I'd like to know what cat Agyness Deyn ran into before heading to the Henry Holland and Wrigley's Extra "Get Extra Close" party. Seriously though, I know the model likes the disheveled look but this is pretty freaky. The funny thing is, I don't have a problem with the tattered jeans. In fact, I think they can be ultra sexy and they remind me of the Maison Martin Margiela outfit Gisele Bundchen wore at a photo shoot. I more so have a problem with everything else around it. If she had worn a more fitted top and some killer heels, I would have been on team fabulous. So, freaky or fabulous?

10 Ways to Know If You're an "American Rustic"

Elka Karl — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 03:00:49 PDT

The New York Times recently ran an article and slideshow called "American Rustic," describing several different East Coast households that identified with this style. And while I will admit to appreciating and identifying with a few elements inherent in American rustic styling, some of it is a bit over the top (collections of antique dog identification tags, anyone?). So, is your household American rustic? If you answer yes to more than six out of these 10 elements identified in the article, then I'd venture to guess that you, too, have a bit of American rusticity in your home, too. You may be an American rustic if you . . .

Decorate with antique technology, such as airplane propellers, tube radios, or typewriters (then again, you may just be a steampunk)
Leave piles of woolen camp blankets around your home
Accessorize your worn leather club chair with a tattered patchwork quilt
Tear out weathered barn wood and turn it into wall paneling
Use stacks of antique suitcases for side tables

Does this sound like your style? Keep reading to see if you're really an American rustic.

When the books on your lil one's shelf become tattered and worn, you know it is time to broaden your horizons with some new tomes for your library. In the latest edition of her Goop, Gwyneth Paltrow seeks out children's book recommendations from friends, authors, and librarians, while spilling the beans on her own tots' favorite reads. Apple, 5, and Moses, 4 (today), appear to have an affinity for Dr. Seuss' classic tales, as well as some David A. and Noelle Carter pop-up books and a fun little book of craft ideas written by Todd Oldham, the popular interior decorator.

Check out Apple and Moses' favorite books below, and see what fellow celeb mama Julianne Moore recommends when you

Julianne Moore: "But the most important aspect for me is that they all share a child’s perspective, rather than an adult one. So here is just a teeny tiny sampling of the books that they and I have enjoyed."
