If we had a kid, it would probably be a bit like Tavi Gevinson. Stylish, unique, sarcastic. Highly influential 13-year-old fashion blogger.

If we did have a kid and it wasn’t Tavi, we’d probably mess it up because we’d want a Tavi.
It’s probably a good idea that we don’t have kids.
Moschino block letter buckle: ‘Style blogger sensation’
PSFK has posted an interesting article about the influence of fashion blogs.
A look at current fashion campaigns. With snarky comments.
‘Best Use of CTRL+C, CTRL+V’
‘Best Employment of an Invisible Armrest’
‘Best Substitute for Magic Eye Posters’
‘Most Bohemian References in One Campaign’
‘Most Likely to Incite Us to Buy a Questionable Shade of Lipstick’
‘The season’s inspiration is a dreamy take on schoolgirl crushes and fairground iconography sharpened with teen angst. Accessories in a palette of the most delicious sun bleached colours and summer brights mix with whimsical prints found on our womenswear, scarves and footwear.’
And big hair.

Project Runway returned on Thursday.
They’re back in NY. And they have a great lineup of contestants this time out (based on their portfolios). Tony is really funny, going to be the breakout comedy/drama personality. We’ll see how long he lasts.
The first challenge was a great intro; a chance for the designers to show off their styles. There was some crying and timing issues – but hey, it’s Project Runway.
Watch full episodes here. And follow former contestant (and old friend) Nick Verreos’ blog here. Always enjoy reading Nick’s take on things.

Recently, MTV reformatted a quirky talk show – It’s On With Alexa Chung – into a half hour sound byte mess; losing their star in the process. Then they quietly canceled it.
I don’t watch much television these days – because finding something smart on the tube is becoming more and more difficult. And one thing I loved about Alexa’s program: It was smart. It was also silly, goofy, with a host who wasn’t afraid to show that she’s not just a pretty face.
And frankly, we need more smart here in the US.
Importing Alexa from the UK, just part of the plan. (there is a plan, right?)
Luckily, we haven’t heard the last of Alexa Chung – there’s a rumor floating around that MTV has yet another show in development (get it right this time please); and (no surprise) as of last week, Alexa tops Vogue’s 2009 Best Dressed list.
Plus: Here’s some of what she wore on her program – and here’s a blog that simply gets Alexa’s style.
The US knows what to do with talent, right? (anyone??)
