We've been toying with the idea of an Olsen-inspired concept for winter. Kind of a disheveled rich girl thing, which would only be complete with a ratty-looking fur jacket/coat/stole. But this is tricky. How do we all feel about this trend—morally, aesthetically, etc.? Is fake fur better than real? Is vintage better than new?

We decided to take a vote, and asked two-dozen fashionable 20- and 30-somethings. The results are below, and they were somewhat surprising. Please add your two cents as well!

You know when you're stoned (or not) and you're watching TV and every commercial seems like a spoof of commercials? And you're, like, really not sure, even when it's over? Well, this article, similarly, has destroyed my mind. Here's a little taste:

BEAVERTON, Ore. (AP) -- Nike unveiled Tuesday what it said is the first shoe designed specifically for American Indians, an effort aiming at promoting physical fitness in a population with high obesity rates.

The Beaverton-based company says the Air Native N7 is designed with a larger fit for the distinct foot shape of American Indians, and has a culturally specific look.

Also, FYI, every post on Threadster from now on will be filed from Beaverton, Ore. 'Cause I'm a grown-up.

Personal Umbrella Holders, duh. Or should we say "puh"! (It's been a long week, culminating in a vicious hangover, so just bear with us.) Obviously, Diddy started it all with his ingenious wingman, Fonzworth. A couple years later, this has apparently ceased to be hilarious and become real. Last week, our own tipster reported from the fashion week tents that a drag queen had exited a suburban with a PUH by her side, and Jezebel brought us the photo above, of Anna Wintour rubbing her PUH in our faces by putting her hands in her pockets. As our informant said, Lord have mercy.

After seeing an extremely leggy blond work some teal skinny jeans and stilettos at a party recently with much success, we, in Carrie Bradshaw fashion, couldn't help but wonder. Should we, too, get in on this revival? All signs are pointing to absolutely not since we are neither leggy nor blond nor very willing to wear stilettos. Also, we can't afford more than one pair of jeans per year, and your only jeans can't be magenta or lime green.

Still, we polled a group of fashionable acquaintances on your behalf. And here are the results. Please add your two cents, as well.

From the boys:

Here's our chance to beat the Times to declaring a trend. If we could only believe it, we would be telling you that permed fauxhauks are going to be huge for men this fall. Huge!

From Craiglist:

Male Model Wanted for Perm Wave (Think Ryan Phillipe in Studio 54) (Chelsea)

Hi

I am a hairdresser working in a high end salon, need to design a profile for the NYTimes about upcoming looks for the fall. One of them is a perm for guys, you should have a reasonably full head of hair, it needs to be 4 inches long all over, it will be cut into a highly textured fauxhauk (longer in the middle short on the sides)

the finished look is like Ryan in Studio 54 (see photo) doesn't matter if you are blonde or not NO RELAXER previously in your hair, it will fall off

Please call me right away, no money offered but pr exposure and a good cut.

This bag has got our consumer-culture reflexes all confused. First we laughed, then we read the description on cafepress.com, which sells the tote for $19.99:

My first instinct on this whole oxford trend was no way. But the more hot hipster girls I see wearing them, the more I am drawn to them.

I have a clear memory of Denise Huxtable wearing faded blue sweatpants and a gigantic men's overcoat, and looking like the hottest, coolest person who ever lived. And I thought, I need sweatpants like that, and I need to steal dad's overcoat, and then I will be really hot too. But of course, that was the opposite of true, because Denise Huxtable was abnormally amazing, and therefore could do that thing where she wore unflattering clothes and they ended up flattering her, in that they said to the world "I am so incredible that I can wear sweatpants outside." It really doesn't apply to me, or most of us.

So the question is, are oxfords only for today's Denises? The skinny, bad-ass hip girls who look endlessly cute in things that would render us even stumpier and more manly than we already feel?

Naturally, I turned to my stable of fashionable 20-somethings. Results after the jump. And please, feel free to cast yours too.

Oh God. We have, despite our generous portion of thigh meat, gotten accustomed to "skinny jeans," or as a friend calls them "tight, fat jeans." When they went from low to high-waisted, we instinctively sat that one out. No one wants to see that. But now, what's with all the wide-legged jeans? They look so laid-back and hippyish -- and maybe even comfortable. But can short girls wear them? Should they be high-waisted, or low? Do we have to wear heels? We polled some more fashionable girls, the kind of girls who actually wear flattering clothes. (Plus one gay man, who is more fashionable than any of our girlfriends).

In New York Magazine's Home Design Issue, amid a lot of exuberant declarations only comprehendible to the super-rich ("trapezoids are the next rectangles," "computers are the next faucets,") was the simple news that "gray is the next chocolate brown," beneath a photo of a lacy gray napkin. For those of us who use paper-towels, Sarah Jessica Parker made the same announcement on Oprah last week, where she unveiled her nice-but-dull and super-cheap clothing line, Bitten. So, um, trade in all your chocolate brown stuff or something.

Yes, she's probably still a size zero, but we have to say, we were pleased and surprised to notice the slight tummy on this H&M model. Not that it made us feel like trying on bikinis, but still.
