Come on, Vogue!

Not since the creation of Lucky Magazine has there been such a brilliant, shopper-friendly idea!  

Who really wants to sift through the teeny tiny print in the back of a magazine in a desperate attempt to find out where to buy that gorgeous cashmere sweater on page 54, or that must-have pair of boots in the winter shoe guide, only to find that is says call 1-800-YouCan'tAffordThis for pricing and availability?! 

Well readers, sift no more.  The genius of Vogue and Gilt Groupe have joined forces to bring us Vogue Shop The Issue, where you can buy items straight from the pages of the March issue.

This month - find those military inspired pieces we're so intrigued by - by designers we love (Alexander Wang....hello?)!

Vuitton 1, eBay 0

Louis Vuitton Thunder ($3,690) 

WWD is reporting eBay's big loss against fashion giants Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior today after a two year legal process.

So what does this mean for all you label whores?  Time to head over to Bag, Borrow or Steal for the real deal.  

PARIS — LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton today won a landmark victory against eBay for allowing the sale of counterfeit goods.

A French court ordered eBay to pay the luxury goods giant around 40 million euros, or $63.2 million at current exchange, for selling counterfeit items on its online auction site, and for selling genuine products outside their desired retail channel.

News Blues

Page Six is reporting that Nina Garcia, former editor of Elle magazine and judge of the awesomely addictive Project Runway, is heading over to Marie Claire.  

This news comes on the heels of news that Project Runway is leaving Bravo.  BUT, all the news stories credit other media as their source and say that reps for both Garcia and Marie Claire have no comment.  Oh, and neither does Lifetime, where Runway is allegedly moving...

WTF.  Will Nina Garcia be setting up camp at Marie Claire?  Is Project Runway moving to Lifetime??

Answers, people.  We need answers.

V.I.P. - Very Important Panties

The much anticipated Sassy City Chicks sample sale came and went on Sunday, March 16 at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica with VIP ticket holders receiving a goody bag filled with essentials – Physicians Formula Shimmer Strip, Boscia Blotting Linens, Yelp lip balm and, of course, Frederick’s of Hollywood black and white polka dot lace panties.

Women (and some boyfriends who were making up for a forgotten birthday or anniversary) lined up before doors opened at 10am for early access to the sales 75+ designer booths, which, for those willing to dig, included finds like Ella Moss, Splendid, Marc Jacobs and Vivienne Tam. Distractible shoppers were enticed by free M&M’s at the Itty Bitty Bra booth and free facemasks at the Become Beauty booth, both popular rest stops in the crowded ballroom.
