Woohoo, Glamour’s got a new blogger for Fashion Week! We love her because she’s smart, funny and can write a mean sentence. But here are some of the things you’ve said about her: “the most gorgeous woman,” “the embodiment of modern beauty,” “truly glamorous and inspiring” and “OMG!!! Unbelievable!” So who is this awe-inspiring person? Meet Crystal Renn, 23, fashion fanatic and author of the book Hungry, about her experiences going from starving straight-size model to happy, healthy and hugely successful plus-size one (she’s a 12, which as we’ve written is considered “plus”; I know, it’s nuts). She recently appeared on the cover of V, made the front page of the New York Times' style section and took over a good chunk of our own February issue, photographed by Norman Jean Roy. Here she is, dazzling in Dolce:

I'm obsessed with Lucila Iotti shoes! The super sexy shoes are designed by Iotti in her hometown of Buenos Aires where her father, Jorge Iotti, began his tailoring shop in 1920 (the designer has a boutique there as well...can't wait till March when I'm in Argentina to check it out!). Iotti uses a variety of colors and textures (patent leather , suede, satin, vinyl...) -- her shoes are definitely not for the shy. They're bold, loud, and demand attention, but paired with a LBD and some confidence they're simply magnifique! On a side note, Patricia Field has been a vocal admirer of this brand, so I wouldn't be surprised if one of these shoes make an appearance in SATC II:-) So far the shoes are only sold at the boutique in Argentina, but email info@lucilaiotti.com with the name of the style you like and they can mail it to you via Fedex (prices start at 710 pesos which is around $540).
