This is how I'm feeling today...

Restless... insouciant... found a new Starbucks on 5th ave and West 21st street... it has super comfy chairs and a really nice ambiance... i'm going to hit it up after work for sure to do some writing and such... Alexa Chung's new show aired today... I don't have cable... did anyone see it?

Shh...

Here are some random facts I felt like sharing... I put either feta cheese or extra sharp white cheddar cheese on everything... I was serenaded by Lionel Richie... Worst pick-up line I've heard this week: "Hey beautiful, can I get your MySpace?" (and you wonder why I deleted my account...)... I geeked out over a skeleton chair... I had dinner a few tables from Tim Robbins and Blythe Danner... I am so over Jon & Kate being on the cover of every magazine... let it go people... I ran into Terry Richardson in SoHo... I told him I respected his work... he was rude to me... I burned the crap out of myself on my iron... this is why I don't iron and I need to get a steamer... I go through a freakish amount of cotton balls in a month... I have a secret crush on Caleb Followill (shh... don't tell him!)...

Ten Stylish Dames Who Did Not Make Men.Style.Com’s ‘Women of Fashion’ List

Clockwise from top left: Vena Cava, Lykke Li, Jen Kao, and Daisy Lowe.Photo: Clockwise from top left: Patrick McMullan, Paul Griggs, Melissa Hom, Andrew Woffinden

There's nothing like a beauty contest to bring people together, and the party for Men.Style.Com's "Women of Fashion 2009" the other day was a corker (just check Purple publisher Olivier Zahm's photo diary for black-and-white gorgeousness). Sort of a "Maxim's Top 100" for women with actual taste and talent, this year's edition featured fashionable filles like street-style blogger Garance Doré, sultry downtown jewelry designer Pamela Love, Juila Restoin-Roitfeld, and the ascendant, feline Alexa Chung. Other than tagging the obvious (Chloë, Sophmore's Chrissie Miller, Erin Wasson) and the less so (Danielle Corona, Erika Bearman, Sophia Hesketh), the bros over at Men.Style.Com did miss a few of our faves.

Jen Kao (Designer): Up-and-coming creator, BFF of Taylor Momsen, and all-around cutie-pie.

Vena Cava (Designers Sophie Buhai and Lisa Mayock): They just won a CFDA Fashion Fund award, their teeth are perfect, and there are two of them. What's a duo got to do to get some love?

Leighton Meester (Gossip Girl): Oh, come on now — this was just too obvious to be missed.

Daisy Lowe (Model): She brought T & A back to fashion editorials, set up camp in New York, and has a tomboy attitude that drives boys and girls nutto. Bookmark her for next year.

Kate Young (Stylist): Granted, she's a more sophisticated choice — but just try denying her sexiness.

Kate Lanphear (Style Director, Elle): She brings rock chic to one of the industry's best mags and, oh, just look at that hair.

Dree Hemingway (Model): An impeccable pedigree, gams that go from here to ya ya, and ridiculous style. Where was she?

Jen Brill (Socialite): If Harley Viera-Newton made the grade, why not this biscuit?

Olivia Thirlby (Actress): The sultry supporting star of Juno and The Wackness is New York casual through and through. She's the kind of gal who will kiss you or cut you (hopefully both).

Lykke Li (Musician): The Swedish singer had one of the best albums of last year, she's got gorgeous eyes, a nice Alex Wang–via-Scandinavia style, and the lady raps. What's not to love?
