Marc Jacobs ''Little Edie'' bag

Like the original author, I can't quite figure this bag out, but it is named after our dear Little Edie Beale, so how bad can it be?

The Good, The Bag & The Ugly #6—Marc Jacobs Little Edie

I can't quite put my finger on this one. The new Marc Jacobs Little Edie, from his Fall 2007 collection. The description on the site simply puts it as 'Leather with stones'. Simply hideous if you ask me.

Edie Beale's Grey Gardens fashion becomes even more mainstream

According to TrendHunter, the September 2007 issue of Teen Vogue will feature our favorite documentary film in its A to Z Fall Fashion Guide.

In addition, Style Bytes has its own special on headscarves.

Headscarves

I don´t know how many times I´ve written about headscarves although I for some reason almost never wear them. Every single time I flip through a magazine and notice a scarf I stop and have an extra look, the same happens when I look through the collections of the big designers. As it´s more of a fall thing since they can be a little uncomfortable on hot summer days, I may at least try to get better at wearing them the next few months. I picked up the latest issue of Costume today and in one of the photo shoots the scarf was used in pretty much all of the pictures. A lady like hat is an important accessory this coming season, so I loved the scarf under the hat the most. It just looks so classy! When looking at these pictures I realized that the 40's inspired and more lady like looks are going to be just as big for me this fall as all the leather and latex.

I hate that time in between seasons when I´m starting to feel tired of the current season while the coming season hasn't hit the shops yet. During that time I can stare into my closet for ages without coming up with anything to wear. Now that fall is right around the corner, the air is feeling a little chillier and the shops are starting to get filled up with new items, I get butterflies in my stomach. So while I wait, I spend my time flipping through magazines, looking for yet more items to crave for. At least these looks can be pulled off without spending much money. Also notice the little brooch dressing up the scarf in the third picture. An easy way to make it look extra special.

New Grey Gardens website

Robb Brawn created a new Grey Gardens website, My Grey Gardens, about his experiences with Edie. My favorite part of the site is his insights and memories of Edie herself. This site is definitely worth a visit!

Bootleg (!) DVDs of the Grey Gardens musical (?)

Update

I just received an e-mail about this gentleman's bootlegs from a customer who said he never received his:

Just thought I would pass on to you that the below link (he has several) to order grey gardens bootleg of the show is a rip off. I placed an order through PayPal with this guy and never received it. I sent several polite emails that he never returned except once to say it was on the way. Of course I never received it and he won't answer any emails. I have since read tons of negative feedback on him in Yahoo Groups on what a crook he is. Anyway, thought you would want to know and not provide him free advertising so there aren't more like me who will get ripped off. Thanks.

If you choose to place an order, do so at your own risk. And, given this customer's frustrations, it is probably best not to place an order.

Broadway Bootlegs

This guy has a website so its no secret...there are bootleg DVDs available of GGTM. Everyone acted like it was a deep dark secret for so long - but now that the show will not be filmed - this guy sells a ton of stuff. It's not like GG is his hidden secret. I think the OB DVD is better than the Bway DVD ...anyone else?
