The September Issue: Icy Stares, Fur, And (Gasp) A Necklace Worn More Than Once

There's been a whole lot of buzz over the soon-to-be-released (August 28th) documentary about the inner workings of Vogue. As we noted last week, the fashion folk have been scrambling to get their hot little hands on bootleg copies of the documentary.

We were lucky enough to see it officially, and must say, the hype is for good reason. Mark the release date on your calendars and get ready for drama, humor (believe it or not), and over-the-top fashion.

Anna Wintour's ensembles were perpetually flawless, with one accessory of note that almost upstaged her Spartan hair. Almost.

Yes, the woman likes fur and wasn't afraid to show it on camera, but what stood out even more was her affinity for these modern, demure jeweled necklaces. Either layered or alone, Anna sported them in several colors with many a floral frock.

We haven't been able to nail down the designer just yet (help us out, people), but a similar -- albeit extremely pricey -- version can be picked up at Barneys ($14,000). If you want to mimic the look for a fraction of the price, we also love this white stone necklace from Kenneth Jay Lane ($400).

I need to stop being surprised that so many of these fashionistas, editors, etc. have their own "look" which never changes (for good or ill) while at the same time they make their living by pushing the newest of the new - the "must have", the "it xxxxx". Anna's look is getting a little boring, not to mention old-ladyish (the hair becoming ever more blonder, the increasingly fussy details).

Just because we're in a recession, doesn't mean we have to feature sackloth and ashes!

I wonder when, or whether, the HuffingtonPost columnists will recognize that we are in the midst of a major recession. To tout Vogue and its pricey geegaws seems to be out of sync with reality and common sense. The Gilded Age is over. Whether you can obtain a copy of the new Vogue seems not to be worthy of interest, much less a column. Interest in Anna Wintour's neckwear seems to be shockingly irrelevant. Fashion is fun and looking good can be accomplished in bad times, but our guide to the former and the latter cannot be a magazine that lists $3,000 day dresses as "must haves." Move with the times and recognize that materialism is passe as well as unaffordable. Cheap is chic and Vogue is vulgar.
