It Girl: This new series might just be Toronto’s answer to Girls

What happens when the It girl is over it? Just ask Wren Marlowe, or rather Aussie-born actress Misty Fox who plays her in the new series It Girl. The series follows Marlowe as she navigates the strange after-hours landscape that only an It girl understands (late night pocket dials from the hot band guy and tripping on organic mushrooms are just a few examples), while contemplating a shift in that life’s course. As you might imagine, mess ensues, and we’re being treated to a bit of it in the just-released trailer, which features comical cameo appearances by members of Broken Social Scene, The Darcys and…me, who throw Marlowe for a bit of an existential loop. I play the almost-real version of myself and share important views on ombre. Directed by Claire Edmondson (she’s made videos for Austra and this site), It Girl might just the hottest thing since a naked Lena Dunham.

The cast of HBO’s Girls just keep getting more and more influential. Today it was announced that Allison Williams is the new face of sensitive skincare line Simple. The brand prides itself on having no perfumes, dyes or harsh irritants in its products and it seems like this promise was what drew Williams in.

Given that she portrays the impeccably put-together Marnie (well… at least in the first season of Girls) so well, it’s hard to envision Allison Williams dealing with problematic skin in real life. But indeed, she’s just like the rest of us. Read more »

Paint your nails like Hannah, Marnie, Shoshanna and Jessa: Deborah Lippmann is doing a Girls nail polish collection

Deborah Lippmann Girls nail polish

Our obsession with HBO’s hit series Girls knows no bounds. And now we can further show our support-slash-solidarity for the four twenty-something characters thanks to a nail polish collaboration with Deborah Lippmann.

A four-colour, limited edition Deborah Lippmann Girls nail polish set was just announced and will launch in January 2013. Representative of the four Girls girls, the set includes a colour named for each: there’s “Hannah” (described as a “hapless hunter green”), “Marnie” (a “prim and proper pink”), “Shoshanna” (a “virtuous vivid violet”) and “Jessa” (a “bohemian burgundy”).

Go inside Allison Williams’ bag! »

Girls is back. Girls is back! One of our most intense cultural obsessions returns with its Season 2 premiere on January 13, 2013 at 9pm on HBO Canada, and what better way to celebrate than with a look inside the beautiful bag of one of its beautiful stars, Allison Williams.

Our former cover girl was in Toronto last week to promote the new episodes as well as the release of season one on DVD and Blu-Ray (Its accompanying book of Lena Dunham’s tweets is epic, FYI) and graciously dumped the contents of her Jason Wu Daphne shoulder bag. While her stuff was being photographed, I super-fan quizzed her on the return of Booth Johnathan as well as what the next season looks like for character Marnie Michaels, who seemed to be floundering sans-boyfriend and roommate at the end of season one. “She’s having a rough go. She’s without the same comforts that she had in season one, so she’s very influx, and that is something that I know that I, and a lot of my friends can relate to,” she said. “When it rains, it really does seem to pour especially when you’re in your mid-twenties when you don’t have a lot of foundation already laid down it can just throw everything into upheaval at once—job, everything.”

Girls is back! Is it possible that Season Two might look better than the first?

There has been a gaping hole in our hearts since season one of Girls ended. Today, there has been a small repair to that hole with the trailer for Season Two, which premieres on January 13, 2013.

If it’s even possible, the trailer hints that the second season may be funnier, wittier, and more entertaining from the first. Lena Dunham’s character, Hannah, returns in search of a “kind, responsible, sexy” boyfriend while trying to keep Adam, her “sociopath” ex, at bay. Hilarity is sure to ensue. As for the rest of the gang, Shoshanna is wearing fascinators like she’s Kate Middleton and appears to be dating Ray while Marnie’s love life and career spirals out of control.

This season boasts guest appearances from Donald Glover, Patrick Wilson, and more. This just adds to the ever-growing excitement that we feel for the premiere of season two. As we count down the days (44) until January 13, this taste will have to do. Excuse us while we hit replay 10 more times.

It girl must-reads! Both Lena Dunham and Alexa Chung are writing books

Lena Dunham Alexa Chung book deals

It’s a good week for fashionable female icons. Just a mere day after it was announced that Lena Dunham is writing a book, it has been revealed that Alexa Chung is planning on doing the same thing.

While both books will offer advice and personal anecdotes, the comparisons end there. According to British Vogue, Alexa Chung’s “will allow fans to step inside her world, as she reveals how she decides what to wear, her fashion influences and style tips.” Due out in September 2013, the book will feature Chung’s writing, as well as personal photographs, drawings and sketches—some of which can already be seen if you follow her on Twitter. (Fingers are crossed for an entire chapter on quirky nail art inspiration!)

While Alexa Chung has secured a publisher, Lena Dunham’s search for one is part of the publicity for her forthcoming book. Read more »
