The Nina Diaries is a weekly column about a slightly neurotic New York fashionista. Set to improve herself and overcome her fashion neuroses, one credit card swipe at a time, Nina has enlisted therapist Dr B. to help her.  Lord knows Nina isn't perfect. Dr. B knows it too. But Nina tries her best and, in the end, always manages to land on her Loubies. To err is human. To shop, divine.

"I'm ba-aack," I cheerily sang into Dr. B's face.
"So I see," said Dr. B. "Did you have a nice time?"
"In L.A.? Mmmmmmm, I wouldn't exactly say I had a 'nice time,' after all, I was sent to supervise my cousin Martin during his holiday furlough from prison."
Dr. B's head jerked up from her notepad. "You told me you were visiting family."
"Well, Marty is family. And he's not really in prison prison. That's just Marty's word for the fat camp he's been staying at for the past few months. He can't seem to shake those last 190 pounds. Or, rather, he can shake them...and it isn't pretty." Dr. B gave me a reprimanding look.
"Well I'm not here to talk about Marty," I sniffed. "I thought you wanted to know about my trip. I found it very very helpful."
"Really?" Dr. B was listening. "Go on, I'm listening."
"I'm not knocking the work you've been doing with me, but L.A. really made an impact and I think I should consider spending more time there. I was only there for 3 days, but really, in that brief time, I got a whole new perspective."
Dr. B waited for me to go on, "Go on."
"Well, it was more like one day really, if you don't count the travel days, and in that one day, heck, just during lunch really, I had an epiphany. I sat there in the booth, looking at the couple sitting at the table beside ours, they were wearing matching personal air purifiers around their necks. Then in the next booth was an 80-year-old woman with the hair and legs and lips of a 20 year old. Finally, across from me was a guy ordering 2 milk shakes and 4 cheeseburgers without the buns 'because he was on a diet.' Poor Marty."
Dr. B sat back and crossed her arms. "Nina, what does this have to do with you??"
"Don't you see Dr. B, in L.A., I'm normal!!!"

Hilary Alexander, wearer of the beloved Manish Arora (seen above at the met costume gala) has released her WORST DRESSED CELEBRITIES OF 2008 LIST. Juicy!

The offenders:

1. Katie Holmes in one she made earlier
Katie thought the addition of black lace might disguise the fact she'd borrowed her painter-decorator's overalls.
2. Lesley Garrett in a selection from Rachel Elbaz
The soprano carried on smiling even when someone tipped their Tequila Sunrise all over her dress.
3. Gwyneth Paltrow in Stella McCartney
Inside every woman there's a smaller woman waiting to get out; the only problem is she's not the one wearing the frock.
4. Mary-Kate Olsen in Missoni
The diminutive twin realized she had made a mistake in volunteering to do a wardrobe swap with Queen Latifah.
5. Madonna in Louis Vuitton
Where's the Flymo when you need it? Green grass is for walking on, not wearing.
6. Sharon Stone in Christian Dior
Sharon thought the premiere was a sleepover.
7. Kylie Minogue in Jean Paul Gaultier
Kylie's horse bolted when he saw this get-up.
8. Tina Turner in Giorgio Armani
The "dummy" on a chain was the perfect finishing touch to the singer's "baby-gro".
9. Nancy Dell'Olio in Jitrois
Mutton and lamb? The bared torso, the blue eyeshadow, the blusher, the leather, the lace – it's hard to know where not to look first.
10. Heather Mills in her own design 
"I've got two other suits exactly like this and I made them in the dark, too."

The only one we disagree with is Madonna, she looked fabulous!! We don’t think Gwynnie is deserving of the Worst Dressed for her Stella either – we smell personal vendetta here. Otherwise Mrs. Hilary is spot on hilarious. We just love her! Head over to TELEGRAPH for the complete article with PHOTO SLIDE SHOW of said celebrities committing their crimes against fashion.

Patricia Field unofficially confirms the Sex And The City sequel to MTV. We don’t think Pat will be too happy about this video, but watch to hear her dish on the next film. Pat is the second person on the SATC set to confirm – KIM CATTRALL let the cat out in November, much to Sarah Jessica Parkers dismay. On a side note: Doesn't Pat look hot in this interview? We love her!
