Laura Jane is Totally Glamorous!
WOULD YOU FIRST-DATE ME????
(headband by Thelma Design; coral top by J.Crew; high-waisted Cheap Mondays; vintage gold bangle; Michael Kors boots)
I am super proud and pleased to report that I've been featured on Smitten, Glamour magazine's surprisingly killer sex & relationships blog. Myself and twenty-one other totally cute fashion bloggers all offered up our respective takes on what constitutes the perfect First Date outfit; mine is seen above. To quote myself:
The first-date look is all about striking the perfect balance: You should look coquettish but not tarty, casual but not schlumpy, elegant but playful. Jeans, a minorly-dressy top, and a focal-point accessory is always a safe bet. In my opinion, any first date worth its salt should conclude with sneaking and/or climbing in somewhere, so you gotta come prepared--no heels for me!
As awesome as it is to be featured on Smitten along with so many awesome girls, I must admit that this whole business really rubs salt (and rubbing alcohol, and citric acid) in my "I'll never go on a date again" wound. Oh, wellski. Here's hoping.
Oh! And here are my two other favorite date looks from the feature:
Seen above is Stacy from La Boudoir, who looks totally sweet and chill and like the kind of girl who dudes date instead of dating wackola me.
And here is Riikka of Only Shallow, who a) looks strikingly like Maggie Gyllenhaal, and b) manages to pull off a hyper-saccharine vintage-girly thing without looking costumey at all.

nogoodforme.com presents: BEAUTIFULLY WORN
Oh, nogoodforme.com! Do you ever sleep? To be perfectly honest, NO. Three days after Spirit Animal House came, went, and RULED, we're so done with hibernating (We're not bears! We're wolves, turtles, alley cats, and Logan Echolls!), and are all impossibly excited for our next endeavor into the wild world of IRL: Beautifully Worn, the photo show we'll be curating at our beloved Clarabella.
In the grand tradition of nogoodforme.com, we hope that Beautifully Worn can provide the fashion blogosphere with a majorly subverted, hella scrappy, and decidedly AVANT-WACK take on the ever-entertaining format of "pictures of people wearing clothes" (not to be confused with "People Take Pictures of Eachother," which is a song by the Kinks).
You know how The Sartorialist is the most boring website on the entire Internet because everybody who makes it on is a fashion editor, and whenever you boredly e-wander onto it you just get irritated because it's like, "Well, yeah, no kidding Carine Roitfeld has good style!"- well, Beautifully Worn is going to be the exact opposite of that. Not only do we hope that YOU, our faithful readers, will send along photos of yourself in your favorite outfit to ngfmphotoshow (at) gmail.com, but we hope that you'll pass the word along to everybody you know, the weirder the better: we're talking dads, grandmothers, great-grandmothers, three-year-old cousins, hippie art teachers, therapists, grandmother's therapists, accountants, morticians, and (if at all possible) Michael Showalter.
All pertinent information can be found in the lovely image displayed below, and don't forget that the deadline for submissions is Saturday, September 20th (don't worry, I'm sure we'll remind you again).
PS: Because I am an incredibly nice person, here are some questions that might assist you in brainstorming up your perfect perspective on Beautifully Worn Chic:
-If you were turned into a cartoon character and could only be drawn wearing one outfit forever, what would it be?
-Which is more important: fashion or function?
-High-concept, low-concept, or no-concept?
-If you were stranded on the LOST desert island with only one outfit, what would you hope for it to be?
-If the love of your life showed up at your front door tomorrow morning and told you that you had five minutes to get ready for the date of your dreams, what would you grab?
Get snapping! Kat, Liz and myself are all chomping at the bit to see what you babes have in store.

Show and Tell: Beach House at Mercury Lounge, 8/25/07 We did end up finally catching Beach House at Mercury Lounge last Saturday! The show was hot, crowded, and oversold, but that surely did not detract from the aural beauty of the evening. They played a good amount of new material, as well as favorites like "Tokyo Witch" and "Master of None." I was lucky enough to bring along photographer Martha Burzynski to take some striking photographs for nogoodforme.com. Enjoy the ones below, and peep the full set over at Martha's Flickr for full evidence of how lovely singer Victoria Legrand is. (Guitarist Alex Scally is lovely as well, but he played pretty much in the dark, head looking down at his guitar most of the time.)

Street Shots: Salmon Sneakers and Charming Girls in Bars My buddy Kyle showed up to band practice wearing these killer sneakers. He informed me that they're not pink- they're salmon. I love seeing guys in completely unpredictable things... pastel sneakers and also lately, big gingham print oxford shirts. Later in the week I met these beautiful girls at a Brooklyn bar normally littered with dudes. The girl in the middle brings exuberant charm to the basic minidress and summer sandals, and her friend to the right- I was in awe of how clever, adorable and well put-together she looked as well. It's almost costume-y but really modern and casual at the same time... I was completely inspired. (She actually jokingly asked if I was taking her pic for a "Don't"!)

Street Shots: Orange Crush and That Perfect Summer Uniform 1. Matthew's girlfriend lent him the tank top, but the awesome brown socks are his (I think).
2. Rachel might just be the most stylish nanny on the Upper West Side.
3. Louise found these charming shoes in Florida.
