a league of their own

according to their website, the gentlemen’s league are striving to “return to a time when artistic vision, handcraftsmanship and quality were the true marks of personal style and substance.”  their signature bags are created by seth stevens and then hand drawn with pen and ink by artist adam razak.  there’s an interview process, and then [...]

a winning combination

when planning outfits, i tend to start with accessories and go from there.  these kurt geiger heels and this fabulous mcqueen bag would make any outfit look amazing.  i think this combo would be perfect for a big job interview with a black pencil skirt and maybe westwood-ish blazer.  or you could go low key [...]

plans for summer

i do know that technically there’s still a ways to go before summer, and it’s even snowing still in parts of the country, but clothing wise, i’m so over the cold weather.  while it actually has been spring-like here in texas, with warm days and chilly nights, any sort of in-between weather here is fleeting, [...]

beyond the basics

looking to upgrade your favorite t-shirt?  the vena cava pyramidion shirt is the perfect solution.  it’s ultra thin and slouchy with a lace back insert, and the perfect shade of gray.  pair with a mini and heels for dancing on hot summer nights or denim cut-offs and wraparound sunglasses for a casual afternoon on a [...]

a new mythology

 

meet my ultimate fantasy outfit of the moment.  the focal point here is obviously the amazing tom binns medusa necklace.  this is a couture piece that he did in 2006, and is made entirely of oxidized sterling silver beads.  i’ve been staring at this thing on a regular basis for a couple of months now. [...]

nyfw - part two

i have to say, i’ve always been kind of ambivalent toward doo.ri.  she was very likable in seamless, and her clothes have always been nice, but just a little too basic for me to get really excited over.  her new collection though is kind of amazing.  i’m guessing these rhinestone covered, sparkly tights that she [...]

nyfw - part one

sadly, fashion week for me this year is pretty much like any other week, except that i’m spending an inordinate amount of time glued to style.com.  there have definitely been some exciting things so far.  a few picks…  rodarte, of course. they’ve stayed very much in the vein of their recent collections.  amazing texture.  i [...]

spear me

i’m seriously in love with/freaking out over the earrings for the jil sander spring collection.  i really want these.  i’ve seen the whole “spear” earring design before, but it seems like they tend to be more simple, smaller, not as impressive.  there are like ten different variations on the jil sander site.  i really like [...]

meeting of minds

what do you get when the addicted to love video girls and edie sedgwick meet for a drink in an s&m bar? besides the obvious answer, awesomeness, have a look at mark fast’s spring 09 collection.  it also kind of reminds me of elizabeth hurley in that safety pin versace dress.  although it combines the [...]

new classics

i love that this look is essentially your formula cocktail party outfit, but every piece is just a little bit insane.  instead of your basic black shift dress, witness this beauty by rue du mail by martine sitbon.  check out a close up of the beading on net-a-porter.  it’s an unusual touch that lifts it from [...]
