sadly, the scan doesn’t really do it justice, but i love these photos of stella mccartney at her new paris boutique. from elle decoration june 2009.

want it, need it…  gosh, this seems kind of obvious, doesn’t it?  but totally brilliant.  mcqueen blows my mind yet again. leather glove and knuckle duster clutches.  both available at saks.

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 [...]

saw these silver converse by john varvatos in the barney’s coop mailer this week and became torn. i love them, but seems like something i should attempt to diy first. maybe i’ll find time for that this weekend.

today is the day i’ve been waiting for… chanel and mcqueen.  very exciting.  so chanel… hmm.  the clothing is a little anti-climactic for me.  some of the things are crafty, furry, macrame-looking.  a lot of it is simple black, which is good. these are some of the looks that stood out for me.  the most [...]

i’ve been wanting a david yurman dog tag for awhile. i love the dog tags with the stones and sterling silver inlay, but even more so found the natural exotics collection even more interesting. the sterling silver animal print embossed designs seem like the perfect detailing for dog tag.

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 [...]

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 [...]

i’ve sort of been on a jewelry kick lately. trying to figure out what’s possible for me to recreate myself and coming up with some ideas of my own. when i saw these digby and iona necklaces, i was shocked. i would love to have one of my own, but [...]
