mad men season 5

It's here! And my main takeaway from the first episode is the above picture. Those sleeves! Love her or hate her, she is one fabulous woman, and is going to give us lots and lots of sartorial tidbits to talk about this season.

new mad men season 5 ad hints at things to come

The newest ad for the upcoming and long-awaited new season of Mad Men (MARCH 25TH!!!!!) features Don Draper looking wistfully at a store window and the mannequins therein. One of them is male, sitting in a chair and wearing a robe and pajamas, with a naked female mannequin dropping her dress. According to creator Matthew Weiner, all of this will make sense by the end of season 5. My theory? Seemingly perfect wife and mother-figure Megan turns out to be frigid once she's got what she wanted.
What is your theory as to what this mysterious ad will mean?

see banana republic's mad men spring collection

The collection is coming out in three days in select stores and online, and Flare has a slideshow of the full collection, including prices. Of course I'm loving it, especially this hot pink number. Too bad I don't have anywhere to where it. Also $185.

the banana launching another mad men collection

After the massive success of last fall's Mad Men/Banana Republic collection, they're releasing another one for spring. It's due online and in North American stores on March 1st, giving you plenty of time to shop for your March 25th premiere party (I plan on having lots of vodka gimlets, because they are easy and delicious-sounding!). The picture above is so far all that has been shown from the collection, but if you keep an eye on the Banana Republic facebook page and the official AMC Mad Men website, they should be releasing more images at some point over the next few weeks.
