Jessica Stam bestows some model mojo and teaches a DKNY intern how to walk like a supah model. Her advice: shoulders down, head up and long strides.I think that’s what I do every day, but somehow I don’t get paid for it.
The video also has a little clip of Jourdan Dunn walking in the Oscar de la Renta show.

So Furious scanned the new House of Dereon ad featuring Beyonce. The one-page ad positions her clothing line as “where the sidewalk and catwalk meet”.
If you say so.
This ad confuses me on so many levels. First of all, why all the mean-mugging in the photo? Is she mad because her crown is askew? Because her purse looks cheap?
Oh Beyonce.

I still remember my first Easter dress. It was yellow with scalloped edges and I had frilly white socks and brand new patent leather shoes. Someone should have known right then that they were creating a fashion addict.
I’ve since grown out of the frilly sock phase and I haven’t had an Easter Dress since I was about 12.
But what exactly is the cut-off age for Easter dresses?
If fully grown fashionistas are allowed an Easter dress, I’ll choose this peachy one-shoulder brocade dress from Tracy Reese Plenty
($198).
The shoulder-baring dress is demure yet sweet and lets you get to show off just a little bit of skin for spring. I think the peachy color works with a lot of different skin types, but the bow is the best part. So flirty!
Pair it with sexy slingback sandals and you’ll be hunting for more than just Easter eggs.

Can you still call yourself “subversive” if your stuff is in suburban mom mecca Target? Ecco Domani-winning jewelry designer Justin Guinta is betting you can. He’s bringing his style to the masses with a jewelry line for the retailer. The line includes affordable necklaces, earrings, and bracelets with a vintage feel. The pieces are heavily embellished with baubles on bracelets, multi-strand locket necklaces and drop earrings.
The bracelets aren’t my favorite. They’re too plastic gumball machine looking, but I really do like a lot of the necklaces.
Pieces were scheduled to hit stores by March 23 but are already online at target.com. Prices range from $14.99 to 59.99.
