The 10 Most Exciting Looks From ASOS's Spring 2013 Fare
It seems like we just settled in for a nice long sip of hot cocoa, but the fashion machine doesn't quit moving. And after seeing ASOS's Spring 2013 lookbook, we're kind of glad it doesn't. From paired down minimalist separates to mind-bending geometric to pretty, wearable frocks, we're willing to look forward a season even as we down piping hot liquid chocolate. No word on pricing yet but expect the usual affordable range.

Target Close-Ups: Karlie Kloss, CFDA Designers, and Their Goods

Target/Neiman Marcus' Holiday Collection debut (in New York City pop-up form) last night was laypeople's first chance to see the collaboration to end all collaborations in person—while trying not to get stepped on by camera crews tailing celebrities or crushed by rabid shoppers. Things on the red carpet didn't sound much better. According to Racked's photographer, there was a minor photog vs. reporter throw down due to limited space. All the "pushing" and "cursing" reached its apex as Zoe Saldana was coming down the runway, but "Zoe was just standing there with a 'WTF is going on' face."
So sorry! No Zoe picture for you but there are plenty of designer photos from Tracy Reese to the boys of Rag & Bone as well as some up-close shots of the merch should you be carefully crafting your holiday list right now.
Have You Seen This Torso?

Looks like Topshop has taken the teaser route to launch their first holiday ad campaign. There's a bright light and all of five seconds of a torso and a fade in and out of the "whosthatgirl" hashtag as well as the date December 4. These are no cats in jewels, but, oh, how we do love a guessing game.
Too Posh
Cara Delevingne was apparently offered a spot on the forthcoming Spice Girls musical Viva Forever! but politely declined took offense to it. In 2011, she told the Telegraph, "My agent said, 'No, you can't, it will be a career killer.' Of course, I loved the Spice Girls. I loved Geri and Baby, but who liked Posh Spice? They said I looked like her and I said, 'That's not cool, that's really mean.'" [Telegraph UK, previous]
Bag it
Pierre Hardy is making bite-sized Hermés Nausicaa (See right), Kelly, and Birkin bags, which will run you over $500,000. That's perfect, actually, because having your credit card cut up leaves more room in the teeny-tiny, albeit diamond encrusted pouch for lipstick and a sense of superiority. [T Magazine]
