Last week, Editor-in-Chief of the Dutch fashion and lifestyle magazine Jackie resigned in disgrace, after publishing an article that referred to Rihanna as “the ultimate n****ab***h.” Parlour Magazine has an image of the complete article, which continues laying the insults on thick, referring to the pop star’s choice of footwear as “porn heels” and her personal style as ” what’s on can come off. If that means she’ll be on stage half naked, then so be it.” Not only did Eva Hoeke give the hugely offensive article the go-ahead, she also used social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook to make a few not-really-apologetic apologies. She posted on Facebook that “the title of the article was intended as a joke—it was a bad joke, to say the least. And that slipped through my, the editor-in-chief’s, fingers….Furthermore I hope that you all believe there was absolutely no racist motive behind the choice of words.”

Diane Von Furstenberg, pre-fall 2011
Diane Von Furstenberg dubbed her pre-fall 2012 collection: “Macadam Diva” (macadam translates to asphalt in French) in homage to the edgy, street-wise urbanite look that was her inspiration. Many of the looks were sophisticated and structured; their edginess attributed to accessories like elbow-length black gloves, knee high black socks, studded bags, and sleek boots. You can make the ’60s chic separates work for you the same way that DVF made them dark and daring: with accessories. By adding fresh, flirty touches you can rock DVF’s pre-fall looks without looking like you’re heading for your first job interview.
Use Your Head
You can take any ’60s glam structured look and add a youthful pop with big bright hair accessories. Hair bows, the bigger the better, can be added to updos or used to held back artfully swept locks. Rocking a short cut? Slip on a headband, like the one below, from the Gap.

- Everyone on Stardoll has heard of GladisK, edgeluvstori, and CrystalsJoy. If you haven’t, then I just don’t know what to say! Almost instantly, cutting edge fashion comes to mind. This incredible triumvirate practically rules the fashion world. If Stardoll had superheros, they would be the most powerful. (Yes, I am secretly a bit of a geek!) I would be honored to be their sidekick. Their style represents their personality without looking like a carbon copy of other stardolls.
