Common Goods: Put On A Party Hat. Feel Better.

In case you hadn't noticed, I'm trying to shake off the shell shock of yesterday. I'm trying to reinvigorate what is supposed to be a fashion fan's most wonderful time of the half year. It's Fashion Week and I can't feel it. What can help? Oh, I know! Party hats from the 1970s!

Thanks Flickr. That helped.

Let Her Eat Cake.

It's '90s supermodel sensation Niki Taylor's 34th birthday today! She was one of my first fashion loves and I remember watching this feature on her when it originally aired on House of Style 17 years ago, when she was only 17 herself. Not only does that make us both much older, but it proves that MTV used to be cool and memorable and styley. Now it stinks. Here, relive it's glory days and toast Niki with me:

Happy Birthday Ms. Taylor. Eat cake and enjoy it like a former top model should.
