* Data determined in accordance with the measurement method required by law. Since September 01, 2018 all new cars are approved in accordance with the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure to measure fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. You can find more information on WLTP at www.porsche.com/wltp. From 01 January 2019, all fuel consumption figures are shown as determined in accordance with WLTP. CO₂ figures will be shown as NEDC-equivalent values, as CO₂ based taxation will continue to be based on an NEDC value (derived from WLTP) until 06 April 2020. Fuel economy and CO₂ emission figures are only intended as a means of comparing different types of vehicles tested under the same test cycle. New WLTP homologated vehicles are therefore not directly comparable with any vehicles tested under NEDC.
Values are provided for comparison only. To the extent that fuel consumption or CO₂ values are given as ranges, these do not relate to a single, individual car and do not constitute part of the offer. Extra features and accessories (attachments, tyre formats etc.) can change relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics which may result in a change in fuel consumption and CO₂ values. Additionally, weather and traffic conditions, as well as individual driving styles, can all affect the actual fuel consumption, electricity consumption, and CO₂ emissions of a car.

Darryl Bryant still doubtful for West Virginia against Duke
INDIANAPOLIS — Either West Virginia coach Bob Huggins is playing possum or point guard Darryl Bryant really is hurt. Huggins said Thursday that it's really doubtful that Bryant will play against Duke Saturday due to a broken foot suffered March 23.
"He's back at the hotel," Huggins said. "I doubt he'll play. Stranger things have happened, but I'd be shocked."
In Bryant's place will be junior Joe Mazzulla whose career-high 17 points helped stun Kentucky in the East Regional final.

European Commission - Press release
Mergers: Commission approves acquisition of Skype by Microsoft
Brussels, 07 October 2011 - The European Commission has cleared under the EU Merger Regulation the proposed acquisition of the Internet voice and video communication provider Skype by Microsoft Corporation because the deal would not significantly impede effective competition in the European Economic Area (EEA) 1 or any substantial part of it.
In the area of consumer communications, the investigation found that the parties' activities mainly overlap for video communications, where Microsoft is active through its Windows Live Messenger. However, the Commission considers that there are no competition concerns in this growing market where numerous players, including Google, are present.
For enterprise communications, the investigation confirmed that Skype has a limited market presence for these products and does not compete directly with Microsoft's enterprise communication product Lync, which is used mostly by large enterprises.
The Commission's investigation also focused on possible conglomerate effects, since Skype and Microsoft are active in neighbouring markets.
The transaction was notified to the Commission for regulatory clearance in the EEA on 2 September 2011.
Microsoft Corporation is a United States based corporation primarily involved in the design, development and supply of computer software, operating system and related services.
Skype Global S.a.r.l. provides communications over the Internet. Its software enables instant messaging, voice, and video communication.
As regards conglomerate effects, the Commission assessed the possibility for Microsoft (i) to degrade Skype's interoperability with competing services and/or (ii) to tie its own products, in particular its leading Windows operating system, with Skype, thereby limiting other players' ability to compete.
As regards consumer communications services, the Commission found that Microsoft would not have an incentive to degrade Skype's current interoperability as it is essential for Microsoft that Skype's services are available on as many platforms as possible in order to maintain and enhance the Skype brand. As regards the risk of tying or bundling, the Commission noted that the vast majority of consumers who acquire a PC with Skype already installed are registered Skype users and that most of them subsequently download a version different from the pre-installed one. Therefore, the proposed transaction will not change the current situation.
As regards enterprise communications services, the Commission found that Skype is currently not an enterprise product, therefore its interoperability is not decisive for competitors and a bundle or a tie between Skype and Microsoft's products will not be a must have product for enterprises. Furthermore Lync faces competition from other strong players in enterprise communications, such as Cisco.
The Commission also assessed other ways with which Microsoft could leverage Skype's large consumer base onto the markets for enterprise communications services but it ruled out negative effects on competition in the time frame relevant for the analysis of the transaction.
Merger control rules and procedures
The Commission, in 1989, was given the power to assess mergers and acquisitions involving companies with a turnover above certain thresholds (see Article 1 of the Merger Regulation). Its duty is to prevent concentrations that would significantly impede effective competition in the EEA) or any substantial part of it.
The vast majority of mergers do not pose competition problems and are cleared after a routine review. From the moment a transaction is notified, the Commission generally has a total of 25 working days to decide whether to grant approval (Phase I) or to start an in-depth investigation (Phase II).
A non-confidential version of today's decision will be available at:
The EU plus Iceland, Lichtenstein and Norway.

Forum Post: Supreme Court Hears GOP Challenge to Political Donation Limits

Supreme Court Hears GOP Challenge to Political Donation Limits
Monday, 07 October 2013 11:46 By Mike Ludwig, Truthout | Report
The 2012 elections were the most expensive elections in history, thanks in part to the Supreme Court's 2010 ruling in the Citizens United case, which opened the floodgates for unlimited donations to independent groups like Super-PACs that influence elections with flashy campaigns and attack ads.
On Tuesday, the high court will hear oral arguments in a case that campaign finance reformers are calling "the next Citizens United" because the Republican-lead legal challenge could erode one of the last protections preventing wealthy donors from influencing elections and seeking political favors from politicians.
Shaun McCutcheon is a wealthy businessman from Alabama. In 2012, he wanted to donate thousands of dollars to Republican candidate committees as well as the Republican National Committee, but federal caps on the total amount of money an individual can donate directly to candidates and party committees in a two-year election cycle prevented him from making those donations.
McCutcheon complained to the RNC, and, arguing that Republicans should be able to take McCutcheon's campaign cash, the RNC and McCutcheon sued the Federal Elections Commission to challenge its aggregate limits on individual contributions to candidates, party committees and political committees that donate to such groups.
McCutcheon and the RNC are not challenging the limits on individual donations to particular candidates, but rather the limits on the total amount a wealthy individual can give to candidates and committees during an election cycle. Under current law, individuals can give up to an inflation-adjusted $48,600 to individual candidates for federal office and their committees, and up to another $74,600 to national party committees, state committees and political action committees.
McCutcheon hit the federal limit in 2012 with donations to Republican candidates and committees, but claims that he wanted to give more money to a dozen additional GOP candidates and the RNC. The First Amendment, he argues, guarantees his right to spend his own money in whatever way he chooses.
A coalition of progressive groups and campaign finance watchdogs, however, argue that removing caps on the total amount of money that wealthy donors can give directly to candidates and committees would give the rich and powerful even more sway over lawmakers and further erode the integrity of American democracy.
"Our constitution's authors did not envision a government of corporations and the wealthy - they envisioned a government of the people. This case threatens the very foundations of that system," said Marge Baker, executive vice president of People For the American Way (PFAW). "A democracy where the voices of everyday Americans are overpowered by the amplified voices of the rich and powerful is not the kind of democracy Americans want or expect."
If the plaintiffs win, McCutcheon would theoretically be able to donate more than $2.4 million to all Republican candidates, $194,000 the national party, and $1 million to Republican state committees, according to Baker.
If the Supreme Court strikes down aggregate limits, federal and presidential candidates would be able to use joint fundraising committees to raise large sums from individual donors. Two or more candidates or party committees work together to form joint fundraising committees, which have been used for years to solicit contributions from individual donors that are much larger than the amount that donors can give to an individual candidate or committee.
Without aggregate limits, for example, the maximum amount a single donor can give to a presidential candidate becomes $1.2 million when that candidate takes advantage of joint fundraising committees, according to Democracy 21, another campaign finance reform group that supports aggregate limits.
In 2012, donors giving maximum party contributions to the Romney's joint fundraising committee totaled 721, and 536 maxed out contributions to Obama's joint fundraising committee.
Unlike the large donors who hid their identities and political motives by donating to shadowy nonprofit groups in the last election, the identities of these donors would be publically disclosed. But disclosure does not provide comfort to supporters of aggregate limits for individual donors. Baker told reporters last week that politicians would know exactly to whom they owe political favors.
In a brief filed with the Supreme Court, Democracy 21, PFAW and other groups argue that the high court has a "compelling reason" to uphold existing aggregate limits to fight political corruption and the public perception of political corruption. The legitimacy of a democracy, they argue, is the belief by voters that they are being fairly represented, regardless of the amount of money they have to throw at politicians.

What are the jobs of the future? How can I steer my daughter to a career which offers the best potential for secure employment? If I am honest with her, no one really knows. A decade ago, who had heard of an App Developer or a Chief Listening Officer? These jobs, like so many others, simply didn't exist.
But while we may not know exactly which jobs will come on stream, we have a good idea of which skills will serve people best in the future –analytical thinking, problem-identification and solving, time management, adaptability, and the capacity for collaboration and effective communication. And we know these skills can be taught.
The education world is now buzzing with talk around how to equip youth with 21st Century skills. This topic and others around employability will be a focus of the International Finance Corporation (IFC) Private Education Conference in San Francisco on April 1-2, a gathering of innovators and investors from around the world who are working to solve challenges in education.
Brian Waniewski, former Managing Director of the Institute of Play, says we should be putting more thought into how to teach kids a different way of thinking. "There is a lot of talk about kids needing to know how to code, but program languages change so quickly," he said. "What we should be teaching kids is the capacity for procedural thinking." The Institute of Play has been at the forefront of using games as tools for just this sort of teaching.
Games require problem-solving. Winners must figure out not just how to play, but how the game works. "We want them thinking not in terms of strict linear cause-and-effect, but working within complex situations with multiple dependent variables. This is a model for the self-sufficient worker," Waniewski said.
Complex problem solving is just one of the soft skills that employers across the world need today. Finding better ways to teach these skills is urgent for reducing unemployment around the world, especially for youth in emerging markets. Global studies indicate that over one-third of employers are unable to recruit due to a lack of adequately trained applicants. The World Bank's STEP Skills Measurement Project, for example, is gathering information on the supply and demand for such skills in developing countries such as China.
The reasons for the mismatch are no mystery. The world of work has been changing far more rapidly and unpredictably than education provision. While traditional education evolves at the pace of a glacier, 90% of jobs created come from the private sector, where markets change constantly.
Some of the most sought-after skills are not career specific, says Candice Olson, co-CEO and Founder of the Fullbridge Program, which offers immersion courses into business fundamentals. "How do you write a one-page memo? That's a very different skill than writing a 25-page term paper."
Fullbridge is one of a number of programs that have begun in North America and are taking their models to the developing world. Fullbridge is operating at the vocational level in the Middle East, and Olson says they want to turn next to North Africa. "In emerging countries, people can't take a lot of time out of their working lives to study, so while schools are being reformed and reinvented we can jumpstart a whole generation on the ground."
Employers worldwide need workers who blend soft and hard skills. They want workers who have technical expertise, and can hit the ground running, work collaboratively in teams and know how to analyze problems by thinking critically. Traditional higher education programs don't often address this full range of qualities.
One exception is University of Waterloo in Canada. Their acclaimed cooperative program gives students opportunities for paid employment while they pursue degrees. This blend of practice and theory engages students, helping them learn more deeply in the context of real world problem-solving.
There was a time teachers could assume that what they taught in the classroom would last their students a lifetime. Now they are tasked with preparing them for careers that don't yet exist, technologies we can hardly envision, and problems that have yet to emerge. Impossible? No. Challenging? Yes. But meeting the challenge involves a major rethink of education itself – its purposes and how we deliver it. Fortunately, this rethink is underway.

As an online instructor, many of the skills students learn are applicable to technology's far reaching hand. Countless students, adult learners at that, continually ask, "What degree do I anticipate will be needed in the future?" My response is general, as I aim to hone in on skills, rather than a career or degree.
With twins of my own, barely two-years old, my goal as a father and educator is to give them tools - tools to quickly adapt in whatever economy, regardless of major or degree program. Today, it's more about knowing where to gather information versus retaining information.
The issue of 21st century skills is indeed a very relevant and important topic for both developing and developed nations. Within the South Africa context a considerable effort has gone into this matter with the expansion and large sums of money invested in Further Education and Training Colleges. A genuine attempt to involve industry in discussions and decision making is yielding results. My sense is that there has to be a two pronged strategy to this issue. Firstly, one needs an education system that provides quality education with a major focus on outcomes. This will mean that that the througput rate will be high thus graduating the majority of children from the schooling system. It is important particularly in developing economies to ensure children learn to read and write and are able to have the basic skills. The second strategy is to involve industry in the education debates. The relationship between education systems and industry should be a dynamic one. Ultimately, it is important to advance skills at a general level in the schooling system which should include, critical thinking, being mindful, adaptabilty, flexibility, being team players as well as being vigilant and curious about current economic and soical realities.
I can't help but think deeply for Uganda the endless possibilities that could bring a futuristic long lasting change and growth. A mix of formal training VS formal training. #skillsdevelopment
One useful way into the problem of skills mismatch is to picture young people making investment decisions as they accumulate qualifications and experience through their schooling in the hope of optimising their earnings and/or job satifaction when they get into the labour market. Like any market, such investments can only be effective when the consumer has access to relevant and reliable information. With the labour market changing so rapidly, becoming ever more complex, it is easy to see the way that it has become harder and harder for young people around the world, but espeically in countries lacking coherent pathways guiding learners into work, to align their human capital accumulation with labour market demand.
As the OECD pointed out in Learning for Jobs (Chapter 3), this is why careers advice is so important, and especially access to first-hand insights from working professionals who are seen as providing trustworthy and relevant information by young people (employers engaging with young people through schools can be seen as being a proxified version of the weak ties that Granovetter writes about). While this has long been accepted, the challenge has always been to secure such first-hand employer engagement in education at scale and at low cost - and this is spite of there commonly being huge willingness on both sides to work more closely together.
The UK experience (as distinctive as it is) shows that scale and efficiencies can be achieved through use of online networking - less than two years after its launch the majority of secondary schools in the country have signed up to www.inspiringthefuture.org programme senidng thousands of messages to employee volunteers willing to participate in careers fairs and events + CV and interview practice. Use of online technology massively reduces costs, enabling (in the UK) free provision of a service which removes barriers connecting the two sides, providing a significant increase in ampliification into schools of labour market signalling.
Some links that might be useful:
While we think of the new set of skills required to successfully navigate the modern world of employment (including self-employment), there is need for educationists and policy makers to rethink the number of years our kids spend pursuing formal education. Do they really need to spend a minimum of more than 15 years (assuming a 6-6-3 system) of schooling to obtain the first degree with just general skills? There is need for an overhaul of education systems in order to produce graduates with specialized skills (tailored to market needs) after those many years in school. The time saved and greater skills gained will go along way in uplifting economies.

At Hyeres 2008……On the Steps, South of France
CommentsClose comment
118 comments
I love the look, but not so much the outfit. For me, the shoulders are just a tad too strong, the skirt a tad too short, the socks a tad too high. But her hair is great.
Are total genius!
Love Your Work!
Love It!
I love with the masculine shapes mixed with the feminine pieces. The shoulder pads and rolled up sleeves give a masculine feel to the outfit, but the short skirt and boots (with those socks) make for a sexy, feminine contrast.
I don't think the all-black would work if it wasn't for her blonde hair, which ties all the elements of the outfit in quite nicely.
LOVE it.
Interesting look, nice blouse and I love that piece of white in her sleeves. But, this kind of outfit doen't seem to work for a place like Hyeres; I'm not sure if I like this contrast or not.
Too boxy
Ooh it looks painful walking down those stairs in those heels. But yeah she looks great :)
Very Chloe Sevigny – I love it!
For some reason this just doesn't look like it's come naturally. She looks like she's really trying. And that is what makes it less than fantastic.
beautiful!! looks faboulous…
Hmm, I don't think this is quite working. Nice pieces, but not necessarily together. Actually, it is the blouse that bothers me most.
On top of that, this outfit unfortunately doesn't work on this woman. It makes her look uncomfortable and contrived.
mmm those boots and those steps..but hey, who said that about suffering to be beautiful????
It's a gorgeous outfit from an aesthetic viewpoint, but it looks terribly uncomfortable to wear that skirt. It seems like it would hike up and show her underwear as soon as she sits!
(Everything else is perfect, though)
Sexy. Individual. Love it.
I must say I like it. Reminds me of me in the autumn. The bag is Balenciaga, I think? And her shoulders.. :D
That is what really makes personal style. Again I shall say, I like it, no. I love it.
I love her hair style, this will be my new summer look! Pure Romance.
she reminds me of Chloe Sevigny a bit…love the outfit!
The inverted "V" in her skirt really helps make her legs look a mile long. And I love that you can see the back is longer, too.
i think it would look better without the jacket.
So sexy… I just became a lesbian for a couple of minutes
If her objective was to turn herself into a square-shape between her neck and her upper thighs, she succeeded admirably.
She looks like a young woman who is being creative using what she has. Maybe she got some of the stuff secondhand?
Sart, can you take some pics of 40-plus year olds in Hyeres? Some of us older women need ideas too….
This look SHOULD be all wrong. The jacket could be called ill-fitting. The skirt could be called inappropriately-short. And wearing stiletto boots on unforgiving terrain could called maladroite. And the socks!
But put it all together, in THIS manner, on THIS girl, in THIS setting and…
She is killing it.
Keep them coming, Sartorialist.
Judging by the recent pictures, Sart can spot a great pair of legs from a mile (or two) away!
I agree with the first Anonymous, love the look but the outfit a tad too this or that. Wonderful background and lighting! And I love what ever it is she has done with her hair….
~ Miss Mary
i'm really into this look, everything from the boots to the rolled up sleeves to the hairstyle!
I love how she does her hair.
Hi Scott,
Your pictures are phenomenal! May I ask which camera you're using to capture all these beautiful moments?
I feel so inspired to go out and grab one to start clicking away!
She has a Chloe Sevigny look about her, doesn't she? I love her hair against the dark fabric, and her skirt and rolled sleeves!
love the hair, and the entire look is great. I'm just jealous she can wear those ankle boots and socks with that skirt and not make her legs look short! Not many people can pull that off.
I think this (south of france set) must be my favorite series you've ever done.
Probably because I live in the desert, black just looks too hot (and I mean temperature-wise, not HOT!)to me in spring and summer.
I agree with Kya – not the ideal footwear for cobbled ground!
She's beautiful, but I don't think the outfit is special at all.
I love and hate this look.
She's beautiful, but her skirt is so short it makes me nervous!
Love the background more than her style
I think its strange everyone loved the layers of the more feminine woman in the cape because then its whimsical (but was actually awkward layering), but a more structured exaggeration erring on the masculine side looks 'contrived'?
I think she looks great, pulling off an interesting structural and textural play…the rolled up sleeves and socks give it a chic casualness. i always love a button down done up all the way!
She looks foreshortened to me. Like someone cut 6″ out of her midsection. Not sure what gives this illusion. Is she leaning back?
Love it! Most people can not pull off boots with shorts, skirts, etc. +5454 for her.
Another cute girl again. Everything but the hemline makes sense. A longer dress would fit her better.
All the women at Hyeres are very very very ridiculously attractive. Note to self for same time next year: go to Hyeres.
That blog is a really good work !
It's nice to discover all those pictures page after page !
Nice work !
Not loving this look. The outfit doesn't seem to suit her or the environment. I am not getting Chloe Sevigny from this so much as a bigger, prettier & healthier Olsen twin.
fabulous outfit……….can't help looking at the background, so cool!!!
ooh gorgeous. love it, love it. ideal look.
interesting hairstyle, but the look isn't stunning.
Ta daaah. Manages to not be goth.
It looked like she had a big black shirt and white underneath it on in the small picture, until I look closer. I agree with one comment, look and silhouette is great, not digging the style at all.
It's unfortunate look for a such a breezy looking place. All I can say is, at least she's trying to do something different than a breezy summer look.
update on the makeover!
you're a great professional, I love your work, congratulations!!!
I loved so much your blog! Gorgeous! I make the post about it in my blog.
smooth and sexy. love the look.
perhaps the angle of the photo made the skirt look at tad short?
but nonetheless, its a good shot mr satorialist.
I love the whole look but i do not like the proportion of it. I t makes her top look wider…. Still loving it though!
I'm very surprised by this jacket and the blue one on the first woman in this south of france series. Am I wrong, or have they just borrowed jackets from men in their lives? The shoulders seem to suggest that.
I guess the romance with th 80′s are still going strong?
great look. i like the very subtle headband she's wearing
I don't think that skirt is flattering her thighs much. But at least she's trying to be different. The hair mitigates the harshness of those shoulder pads though, I guess that's one good thing I can say about this outfit.
so simple
I love it
A cool parisian lost in the South of France…
Amazing. And the black goes well with the green background.
Often, dressing well is a matter of looking 'intentional.' Not in a defensive, "I meant to do that" way, but in an "I made choices when I put on my clothes this morning" way.
But it's possible to over-think it. The essence of style is *unconscious* intention – truly great style-makers have a way of looking like style comes naturally to them.
This outfit on this girl is a big shout of intention – so she's got that part right. But it's too much. Maybe if her shirt were not so meticulously ironed, or if her socks did not poke so perfectly out of her boots, or if she had chosen a better skirt, she could pull it off.
Nice to see an old jacket from the 1980′s still has some life in it, though.
Beautiful backdrop – reminds me of an Agatha Christie's Murder under the sun and a Rousseau painting. Tres jolie!
I think she is a beautful lady so don't get me wrong here but the photo is a great example of how self understanding combined with fashion sense can allow you to transform yourself.
I think she is a very pretty young lady but the clothes she has selected transform her into a very exciting and sexy creature, not her normal look wearing "just anything". And she pulls it off without the least bit of banality
Very nice!
I am not feeling great today but the sartorialist always makes me smile. I completely LOVE and admire your job but I specially like the way you talk to us (that kindness) May be that´s what I apreciate the most. Nice shoot, best wishes, nash
give me this outfitttt. its all perfect.
I don't understand. I live in the city, but I see women in ankle boots but rarely. You seem to find every woman anywhere who owns a pair of black ankle boots. What's that all about anyway?
Thank you for showing us the grand mistakes as well as the perfection. I love that this blog is about personal style. The people you choose to photograph are always trying something — they are not simply following. I get what this girl is trying to do, though it isn't working as well in practice as is must have felt in theory. I know what it is like to wake up — or go to sleep with — a vision of a great ensemble only to put it on and find that it really fails. Black just doesn't feel fresh right now — especially black separates. The jacket is too big for her, the shoulders too strong, and the rolled sleeves too Don Johnson. The hair is great, but would look better with a more feminine outfit. She seems to be trying to balance the bare legs with the booties using the socks, but they just wind up looking like one of those guys who wears his black socks with his white shoes. I don't have a problem with the skirt length. Good idea, bad execution.
P.S. Thank you for taking such good photographs.
She's lovely, but I don't like the trend for black in this lovely summery place. I guess these fashion-forward folks are anticipating the fall, but why be drab in such a lovely place?
Black looks always trendy!
The big jacket&rolled sleeves is retro done right. Excellent look for her.
I'm not loving the ankle boots/socks. They really cut off her legs and combined with the squareness of the silhouette, make her look a bit stocky. Interesting, though.
I don't really mind if a woman's legs aren't the best and I don't really mind if she displays her not-the-best legs but I do wish a woman with less-than-best legs would dress them to their greatest advantage. This is an abysmal effort and a profound disappointment.
She is gorgeous!!!
i wish you'd change the settings so when we click to enlarge a picture it would open in a different window.
everyone's making judgments about the look as a WHOLE — i'm surprised more commenters didn't rave about that awesome "boyfriend" blazer.
slightly oversized, worn, and with rolled up sleeves — so good!
i think this is an example of taking menswear a few steps overboard. she's a beautiful girl, but she's just drowning in the cut of this jacket. i love the socks with the heels, and the sleeves rolled up is a nice touch, but the soulders on the jacket should be a bit more tailored.
she's definitely going for a chloe sevigny look, but i think Miss S would have a slightly more fitted top, and maybe a shorter skirt.
I like to assess a look in what I feel the instant I see it. I saw a black square on a pair of legs that looked not particularly attractive. Now, I see that the problem lies in the skirt. Inverted V is OK if longer. At this length it is making the widest part of her legs look wider, and let's face it, a skirt pulled up and into the crotch is never attractive or classy. Make this edit, and you've got a look!
every week i go on post secret to check ouit the secrets and this week i saw this one and thought, "so do i".
i think you'll enjoy it.
Risqué cut on the skirt but good to see she's wearing panties.
Daring and superb.
Not loving this look. The blazer looks like she borrowed her boyfriend's because she was cold.
And is that a Balenciaga biker bag? Yawn.
This is what i think every morning when i choose an outfit:
you're so inspiring
Hi Sart,
Have you gone post secret today? Have you readers gone on it as well? Welll there is is a hreat postcard which shoes how influential you are. I guess if you pictures can speak words then the comment made would be what every viewer of your website will think when they get dressed.
So much for dressing for the other or same sex!!
Anon from sydney
Sartorialist—you may want to head over to postsecret.com and take a look.
i think she looks butch and black?? its spring in south of france!! i cant think of anywhere thats more beautiful at this time of year and to wear black just kills it, but its a nice picture
Love the strong lines of this outfit. I *heart* the shoulder shape. Although I agree with the people who said the clothes kinda jar with the surroundings.
fyi–sartorialist was mentioned in post secret this week.
Wow, a textbook Stefano Pilati look. Cool stuff
i want to be there!
My first thought was: the Natasha Lyonne that never went off the deep end.
Hello Sartorialist!
I just wanted to let you know that there was a secret that mentioned you on PostSecret. It's not mine, but I wish it was.
very olsen the row, but she's trying too hard.
Go to http://www.postsecret.blogspot.com before Saturday. I don't know if you have ever read this site before, but it is great. There is something Sartorialist related on it this week!
wow i love this – mostly because its not just a trendy 'oversized' blazer – it is literally too big for her (the shoulders) and it looks fantastic. esp with the skirt – that hemline is awesome. and the blazer's visible lining! and the boots AND socks!
What an interesting hemline! Great shot.
p.s. have you seen this? from postsecret:
did you know you were on post secret?
i'm a big fan with all black.
tres chic.
Congrats on your blog, i've just been googling for the most influential bloggers of all time and your blog was well featured especially in the fashion industry and from the pictures i can see why!
I have looked at this over and over again and still don't like it. Separately the pieces are nice, but…. I guess, like the lady in Times Square, I just don't like the short black socks with short boots and short skirt (for one). I just keep thinking it looks like she forgot her pants.
Oh I love this – I like the masculinity of the shoulders on the blazer.
amazing outfit. sky high skirt looks good on her long slender legs. Can't say much about the shoes though.
i wanna BE this girl….
yes she looks cute, but the outfit is so contrived ive seen it a billion times in new york
I'm not CRAZY about this, but it still looks good. I really like the blzer and ankle boots. The skirt, however, does nothing to flatter this woman's legs.
tres chic
This outfit reminds me of YSL's first collections. His vision was to make women feel strong, sexy, and confident. She looks like all of those things
Arguably, this look has been around for a while, but I think it still has lots of charm!
She can do it because she's so pretty.
And also because she's found the right jacket. I hope to find one for myself before the look gets completely exhausted.
I love everything about her look. This is a look I can see the Olsen twins wearing one day.
The clothes are fine, they remind me of myself in 1985 – men's jackets, asymmetry, head to toe black, boots and bare legs, too-short skirts – and it's fun to see a new generation reinventing those ideas. But the clothes don't really matter, because really they're just a framing device for the legs and the hair. They're what we see first. She's very good at framing!
this is awesome!
first i thought it was one of the olsen twins
keep doing your thing girl !
She reminds me of Ludivine Sagnier. Don't hate, congratulate!
She is tremendously stylish. The hair style makes it so amazing altogether.
really nice outfit !!!
Amazing, amazing, amazing! The shoulder pads definitely make the outfit. I don't necessarily like the socks but she can definitely pull it of with those legs!
Very, very nice.
I love the hem on her skirt. I think if it were more bland the outfit wouldn't work. Don't like her hairstyle, considering she has such nice hair…it does fit the mood though.
her style looks just like the olsen twins, right?
Lose the socks. I like the sleeves rolled up on the blazer. I would rather see a bright coloured bag instead of the black. I like the hair but it could look elegant up, especially if she has a long neck.

Off the Air With Jeremy: TGIF
TGIF! Meet my friend Teensi. We live for Friday afternoons, because we meet at Red Robin for lunch. I had a salad today, I swear! (OK, nevermind what I ate).
My Friday ritual got me to thinking, what do you do on Fridays? Do you enjoy a half-day? Do you have the day off? Do you get to wear jeans to work? I'm curious to hear how you kick off your weekends. Let me know in the comments section below!
See ya on the radio tonight at 7PM! I'll be giving away more Blake Shelton CDs, and getting you registered to win Blake's autographed guitar.
Have a great weekend!

LOS ANGELES -- In an atrium packed with students, faculty, alumni, business leaders and representatives dispatched from both city and state government, UCLA Anderson School of Management's Applied Management Research Program (AMR) received recognition earlier this month the State Assembly, State Senate, and City of Los Angeles on the occasion of its 40th anniversary.
The AMR Program - formerly known as and still known euphemistically as "field study" -- is a critical part of the MBA curriculum and experience at UCLA Anderson. Second-year MBA student teams work closely with a faculty advisor to serve as strategic consultants to major companies, and they deal with difficult organizational and competitive problems and provide recommendations for action. The primary goal is to help students develop their ability to solve complex business problems in real-world settings, while delivering value to the client firms and their management. For more than 40 years, Anderson MBA student teams have been strategic business advisors and provided innovative solutions to over 3,000 companies and provided them with innovative solutions to their major issues.
The list of companies who have participated in AMR over the years reads like a "Who's Who" of top domestic and international corporations and includes such companies as Intel, Microsoft, Trader Joes's, Mattel, Starbucks, LA County Museum of Art, Safeway, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, Fox Sports International, Princess Cruises, 20th Century Fox, Grameen, and Hyundai.
Studies have spurred significant strategic changes in companies, large and small, creating immediate impact. "As the oldest comprehensive field study program in the nation, UCLA Anderson is in the forefront of experiential education," said George Abe, faculty director of the AMR program. The typical study lasts for six months. "Projects are not only based in California, but around the world."
In addition to the civic recognition, the AMR ceremony included the presentation of the Deloitte Consulting Award, given annually to the AMR team judged (by a panel of Deloitte consultants) to represent "the highest standards of leadership, teamwork, professionalism and strategic creativity in its solution of a complex problem." The 2009 award was jointly presented by Anderson Professor George Abe, faculty director of AMR and Pete Kichula ('FTMBA '05) of Deloitte.
The 2009 Deloitte Consulting Award went to the team of Will Ravi Dixit, Ersne Eromo, Kevin Kitajima, Stephanie Wang and Joshua Zimmerman (all members of Anderson's Class of 2009), who evaluated the general surgery referral processes at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, Martin Luther King, Jr. Multi-Service Ambulatory Care Center and Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center. Also on hand to express his gratitude to the team - who earned a $5,000 first prize - was Dr. Miguel Ortiz-Marroquin, CEO of Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. The team was mentored by UCLA Anderson Professor Kumar Rajaram.
Also presented at the gathering was the Edward V. Sedgwick III Memorial Award, which was established in 1985 to recognize MBA students who produced written reports of exceptional quality, clarity and persuasive analysis. The Sedgwick Award was presented to the Special Project on Predicting Quality Ratings and Prices for California Wines by Joan Eckstrom, the sister of Edward V. Sedgwick III (MBA '60, PhD '70) and the daughter of Professor Edward Sedgwick, formerly of the UCLA Anderson faculty.

The DTX is our first collaboration with Hank Haney. A combination of contrasting textures, the DTX delivers a great simulation of a cord feel, but adds our seamless molding and rubber technology. Its unique combination of rough and tacky texture is great for any golfer looking for a secure connection with the club, including cord players.

I've always found small businesses compelling – what makes them work and the challenge of going it alone are to me the most interesting questions in business. And after 19 years of running my company, Atom, I admire SMEs more than ever.
Why I started the Donut
I've always found small businesses compelling – what makes them work and the challenge of going it alone are to me the most interesting questions in business. And after 19 years of running my company Atom, I admire SMEs more than ever.
Running your own show is tremendous fun, especially if you know what you're doing and can manage the 101 challenges that come your way every month. Which is where Atom content comes in.
We've been producing our expert how-to guides, sponsored by blue chips and government organisations, for nearly two decades. But, of course, as an entrepreneur, I wanted something new to do. In a (rare) idle moment online, I scouted about for a really good marketing website for small businesses. There wasn't one.
So we decided to do it, launching on 20 April 2009. We built small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) their own site with everything they needed to make their marketing thrive. Founding partners Google and Royal Mail backed us all the way, as have our ever-growing list of sponsors such as Vodafone and Yell.
What we've achieved in a year
As well as Marketing Donut, we launched two more Donut websites to cover starting up and law. We've just announced that the fourth site to launch will be IT Donut, scheduled for the week commencing 23 August.
We use 300 top people to provide the expert advice on the Donuts, but, for me, the real experts are also the users. Before we started work, we asked people running small businesses what they wanted from a site. They told us they needed fast, practical and accurate answers to their questions. The Donuts give SME managers that, free. Tools, templates, checklists, the lot: plus the news their business needs to know.
All the Donuts report live on major small-business happenings - we were the first business advice site to break news of the rise in minimum wage on Budget Day. MyDonut, the e-newsletter, now goes out to tens of thousands of people a month – next year numbers should top 100,000. (This is in addition to the 300,000 subscribers to the SME newsletters that we publish for our clients. Life at Atom is one big deadline.)
Since the launch a year ago, the Donut sites have fast become a key player in the UK small-business scene. Our Twitter accounts have over 40,000 followers and our Twitter team picked up two national awards last year.
Local versions of marketingdonut.co.uk, startupdonut.co.uk and lawdonut.co.uk are syndicated to our partners, both nationally and in the regions. Thirty-five organisations already have their own Donut websites and more are coming on stream every month.
The Donut is a strong business model, because it is a win-win for everyone involved. Crucially, Atom had already invested several years building up the strategic relationships and the content before launching the first website. As with most successful SMEs, we always knew that the Donut project would not be a sprint to success, it would be a marathon.
2010-2011: what's in it for you?
As we expand the core "answers to your questions" pages of the Donuts, we will continue to cover news and key topical issues for you. For instance, this month the Law Donut explains how to cope with recruitment and redundancy as the economy remains fragile, as well as what to do when all your staff want time off for June's World Cup.
We're currently building the IT Donut, which will be a comprehensive resource for demystifying IT, troubleshooting and trading online. It will become the first place any small business turns to when they have a tech problem that needs sorting fast. We're currently recruiting experts who will rid us all of pesky IT stress forever, I hope.
We'll also be providing a local service for users, thanks to our partners. Law firms, chambers of commerce and enterprise agencies are all getting involved. This is really exciting, as it gives users the best of all worlds - a huge library of constantly updated advice from experts throughout the UK, combined with local content.
An SME owner's work is never done, so I'm signing off to tackle the above. Before I go - thanks to you, our users, and all our partners and experts, for a great year.

Microsoft gaming veep Peter Moore, when interviewed by MTV (because they're a bastion of gaming journalism, don't you know?), let loose that Xbox 360 owners could expect 2 titles from Rare in spring 2006.
According to MTV, the projects have been in development for almost two years, and the games will be announced in spring 2006.
Though he didn't go into specifics about the games, expect them to be from different genres. Moore told MTV the games will "leverage Rare's incredible ability to broaden the demographic that are attracted to the consoles."
Let the speculation begin! Obviously, Microsoft didn't buy out Rare so they could put out Perfect Dark: Zero for the Xbox, but all will be forgiven if they do put it out for the 360. And I wouldn't mind a new Banjo Kazooie or Blast Corps while they're at it.
EDIT: Before anyone gets excited, I also thought "Battletoads! I'm so there!" Too bad Midway now owns the rights. But Killer Instinct is still a Rare property, so cross your fingers.
