I can't believe that I didn't know about this until now! Moustache lovers, if you remember it next year, make sure you sign up to do this. Movember involves lovely generous chaps growing their taches throughout November and getting sponsorship to do so, raising money for Prostate cancer. I know this isn't directly related to style, but it's a cause close to my heart (plus, any excuse to encourage tach growing!). If you fancy donating, details are here

Seventh On Sale: Fashion Dos & Don'ts Galores
Okay, I don't see what the BFD is about Seventh On Sale. I'm glad it's for a good cause, (100% of the eBay proceeds go to HIV/ AIDS charities, and you can't argue with that... unless you're George Bush or something) but it's basically a black tie flea market. Mainly, I'm confused about what happened to my invite -- it must've gotten lost in the mail. Harumph! Oh well. There's always next year. Til then, let's talk about the abundant fashion mortses, and a few gems too.
While I do agree with one Popsugar commenter, who referred to MK's Giambattista Valli white frock as a "Huggies" dress (tee!), I LOVE the fun, much-ballyhooed hot-pink stilettos (also Giambattista Valli) Mary-Kate wore. The dress is, as most anything she wears over a size 3T, humungo on her, the shoes work. And considering some of the batshit-nuts get-ups she often wears, this is seriously tame. And yes, they're an impractical 18 inches tall or something, but doesn't she have someone she pays to carry her? Observe the look in this less scowly shot below. Yay! ... Now if only she'd get rid of that baby fat already! HOW WOODE!

Jessica Seinfeld also could've wrapped Mary-Kate around her waist for a "pop" of color!

Yes, it's bit flamenco-y, but Jennifer Connelly is spellbinding in Oscar de la Renta, and it fits her so well on top that she actually manages to stand out from the dress and not look like the dress is wearing her. Minus several points though for the Bert and Ernie brows.
Dita Von Teese continues to scare me. Am I supposed to care that she fucked Marilyn Manson?? She reminds me of a slutty Mona Lisa. And what's more, Eve appears to be growing out of the side of her Marchesa gown...
... While Blake Lively appears to be playing an invisible harp growing out of her head while doing an impression of Cher.
Kate Spade may be an arbiter of questionable accessories and often boring little handbags, but she's CLEARLY doing something right since she's a billionairess. She knows what's up, right? So why is she wearing metallic blue ankle straps with this purple pup-tent of a dress? And the belt looks like those tie-down thingies you use to hold down your Igloo cooler to the top of your Rav4. Perhaps she had to dash off to a camping benefit straight away!
Michael Stipe is flashing you. (I smell a LOL Cat in here!)
Can we PLEASE just stop humoring Parker Posey? Yes, she does a funny Southern accent and was hilarious as the Busy Bee lady and great as a creepy fake Jackie O. But she's clearly NUTTY! Just swap out her bag with the New York Times, and you've got suburban "Just Grabbin' The Paper" couture. Seriously, you should not sleep naked in a hotel, lest the fire alarm goes off in the middle of the night and you gotta bolt. Should that occur, you should definitely have a poly-sateen bathrobe on hand.
Okay. Beddy-bye time for Tams!

Beyonce's Bringin' Balenciaga Back... Again...
I saw Beyonce in those absurd $4,150 Balenciaga Lego heels at the AMAs the other week, but I was too lazy to "bolg" about it. Thankfully, the absurdly, obscenely hilarious Kingdom Of Style busted wasn't -- she nabbed Ms. Knowles for galavanting about in these trannybot heels.Anyway, these shoes are Pure Atrocity. Plus, and I'm not usually the first to blow the "soooo last-season" whistle, but these um, are, especially when you're as recognizable as Beyonce and you're wearing primary colored Transformers on your feet at an awards show. Dude, it is YOUR DUTY to bring something FRESH to the table, even if it is something your cray-cray mama made outta Liberace curtains.
Manolo himself deemed these old "hat," if you will, back in September. THE HORROR!
Anyway, LEAVE THEM ALONE, Chris Crocker style. Let them go quietly into that deep, dark hein-shoe resting place in the sky, never to be heard from again. Can we? Please? Forever? Forever and for realsies?
Dr. Feel-Good and the Need for Brown Shoes
Savin' makes me feel good...the Doc Martens site (the Official Dr. Martens USA Store to you) is offering a whopping 35 percent off of all (nonclearance) shoes with coupon code DMFF3507 (valid till December 14). And I bought two pairs of shoes! I'm pretty psyched about them. I needed a pair of relatively basic brown pumps. I think. I mean, this is something a professional woman should have, yes? Please weigh in if you have strong opinions on the subject. Of course, I fell in love with the two-tone number and had to get those too. After the discount, the damage was only $107. Free shipping, too!

Dr. Martens "Jenna" mary-jane pump, $95 (minus 35 percent is...cheaper). It also comes in basic black, dramatic red, and shiny navy, which I considered but rejected. I mean really, when do you ever wear navy shoes?

Jenna T-bar pump, on sale for $70, plus you get the 35 percent discount. Oh hell...I'll whip out the calculator...$45.50! I think these are quite Camper-esque, and just the kind of sensible-yet-funky footwear I crave. Score!
I also pondered, but did not purchase, these:

Dr. Martens wedge zip calf boot, $100 but only $65 with the discount. (That math's easy.) I have a pair of boots the exact same color, but had they been a darker brown, I may have. I also find myself with the need for dark brown boots sometimes. Oh, the misery...
