Must Have: Carine Roitfeld's Book, Irreverant

Obviously as soon as we heard that Carine Roitfeld was coming out with a book we knew we needed to have it (esp since Oliver Zahm, Purple's Editor is putting it together).

Today we got a sneak peak of the book that is filled with photos of Roitfeld's best work, her own personal snapshots and tidbits of her accomplishments so far.  So far the book looks incredible and we are assuming it will be a great source of inspiration.

We have included some of our favorite pics from the sneak peak.  And don't worry, you can pre-order the book on Amazon here for $63 (not too bad of a price, since the list price is $100...)

Kell on Earth: We Love

We have been in such a work haze lately, that we didn't even realize that Kelly Cutrone's new show aired Monday night on Bravo (or maybe we were just too tuned in to The Bachelor....) Anyways, thanks to Hulu , we got to check out the premiere yesterday.

We must say, we were quite impressed. The show seems much more "real" than The Hills or The City. The drama is more about the job, than about who is dating who, and overall it depicts a way more accurate view of the fashion industry. It is interesting to see that Kelly has a daughter, that she has a work/live loft and that she doesn't always wear all black. Most interesting to us was how smart of a businesswoman Kelly truly is. Her harsh demeanor and sometimes, cutting words are just a large part of trying to get the job done perfecty. Kelly really respects and appreciates her clients, therefore she really does do the best job she can. It is inspiring to watch her in action. We also are quite intrigued by her cross dressing assistant Andrew. Pretty sure we will be tuning into this one weekly.

Check out the site on bravo here. Follow Kelly on twitter here.

Also, Kelly will be in LA tomorrow night at 7 pm, signing her new book at the Borders in Westwood.
