StylePointer: A golden bracelet

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

It used to be that if Lindsay Lohan wore something, everybody wanted it. Not so much any more, especially since she got a little leggings-happy. However, the fact that Lindsay and Samantha Ronson wore this bracelet by Jules Smith doesn’t really matter–it’s pretty cool in it’s own right. The slick design and gorgeous metals– I’m into the yellow and rose gold versions. You can buy it in L.A. (of course!) at Kitson and online here.

You can’t touch Glamorama 2008. At least, not compared to the previous years in my memory– MC Hammer and Cyndi Lauper? Might have been the best night in my life since I was in the front row of the Cyndi Lauper concert in 1986.
There’s a short-ish video posted online here. Enjoy! Feel free to argue with me–but I think Hammer still has IT! There are party photos in the paper today and I’ll post the link when it’s available.
