The miumiu-london, billed as a “private women’s club” at the historic and newly reopened CafĂ© Royal, is was the It-club in London. It was only open for three short days–and closed for good yesterday, November 29.

We were lucky enough to score an invite.

BuzzFeed LA Launch Party at Mondrian's Skybar
Nov 30th 2012, 17:04

FishbowlLA braved the harsh L.A. drizzle on Thursday night to hit Skybar, where BuzzFeed staffers and friends were celebrating the launch of the website’s new Los Angeles bureau. Top BuzzFeed brass was in attendance: CEO and founder Jonah Peretti, president Jon Steinberg, editor-in-chief Ben Smith, executive VP of video Ze Frank, and probably more we didn’t recognize.

We spotted Nate Silver in the crowd, as well as Julia Boorstin of CNBC, comedian Chelsea PerettiLA Times VP of Communications Nancy Sullivan, and former Good magazine editor Ann Friedman, who tolerated some gushing on our behalf over her delightful Tumblr and column, #Real Talk.

But we don’t have pictures of any of these lovely people, because we forgot our camera. We only managed this one grainy cell phone picture before giving up and hitting the open bar:

That’s Ann-Marie Thomson of SYCO television, Grantland editor Emily Yoshida, and BuzzFeed’s Los Angeles bureau chief Richard Rushfield being blinded by my cell phone camera.

Editor's Pick: Leah's Plum-Colored But Still Super Versatile Skinny Jeans

Somehow these are my first ever pair of Rag & Bone jeans. I get why people like them so much. They make your ass look really good and are quite comfy.

These are more plum (eggplant? maybe?) then this season’s color-obsession, oxblood, but they are definitely not purple. And I’ve managed to convince myself that they’re just as versatile as blue jeans.

FishbowlLA: Author Michael Levin Pays Tribute to Motivational Guru Zig Ziglar

Author Michael Levin Pays Tribute to Motivational Guru Zig Ziglar
Nov 30th 2012, 16:30

The death on Wednesday of pioneering motivational author and speaker Zig Ziglar has reverberated far and wide.

Here for example is how LA Times celebrity blogger Christie D’Zurilla initially reacted on Twitter:

Saturday’s memorial service in Plano, Texas will be live-streamed. Leading up to that, one of the very best ways to remember Ziglar is to read an essay published earlier this year by New York Times bestselling author Michael Levin. It begins:

The last time I saw Zig Ziglar, I was one of 17,000 in attendance at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, where he was speaking as part of a program of superstars, including Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice and Joe Montana. He was onstage accompanied by his daughter, Julie Ziglar Norman, because Zig had suffered a fall a couple of years before that and nobody wanted him to fall again, especially onstage, and especially in front of 17,000 people.

Why Alexander Wang Could Be a Good Fit for Balenciaga

The yet-to-be-officially-confirmed news of Alexander Wang’s appointment as creative director at Balenciaga has been met with mixed emotion by many fashion industry insiders and enthusiasts this week. While the die-hard ‘Wangophiles’–you know them: stud-bottom bag carrying, open-toe bootie rocking ‘Trainas in training’–couldn’t be more excited, skeptics have already begun to question whether or not Wang’s contains the gravitas necessary to make him a success at his new gig.

Up-and-coming designer Lily Ashwell admits her mom Rachel Ashwell (of Shabby Chic fame) may have influenced her design philosophy and love of vintage a bit, but after her seeing her debut collection, we’re fairly certain she’ll have no trouble a making name for herself independent of her lineage.

Read on to hear what Ashwell had to say about her new line, and watch an exclusive video she created for the collection, with new music written & performed by her friend Jade Castrinos from Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.

How Awesome Was Topanga's Hair? Let's Discuss, Before That Boy Meets World Spinoff Debuts

topanga-boy-meets-world

…Topanga, that’s who.
