Alexa Chung Round Due


Coming off the success of her first collaboration with Madewell, British fashion idol Alexa Chung revealed to the New York Times that she hopes a second collection is in her future. The blood between the two seems to good as Chung said they "sent her some really nice flowers" for her birthday.

Whatever Happened?


Remember back in August when promo pictures were released of the cast of Katie Holmes' "The Romantics" movie, touting it's release in September. Well that month has come and gone but still no sign of The Romantics...just curious as to what happened to it.
