Fall 2008 RTW: Proenza Schouler

Lazaro and Jack are still my boys. Their collection did not disappoint one bit.

Only they can make a dress so fabulous that accessories are unnecessary.

Only they can make it okay for you to throw on your dad's jacket and still look chic.

And only they can coerce the fashion world into thinking that shiny green pants look cool.

Fall 2008 RTW: Marc Jacobs

He started on time this year, but Fall 2008 RTW was lacking a certain something. Perhaps inspiration?

It's as if he were purposely trying to pick the most unflattering shapes known to mankind, and then topping them off with ridiculous hats.

Very disappointing.

the illustrious christian louboutin bridal shoe

The man knows the way to a woman's heart.

The urban shoe myth of the Tiffany-blue soled Christian Louboutin bridal shoe has captivated many a shoe lover in the past few years. They are meant to represent your "something blue" on your wedding day.

I still can't find a picture but supposedly, you may special order a pair from any CL boutique.

Can you imagine the Mouche with a baby blue sole as your wedding shoe?

To die for.

Update: Found 'em, thanks to the PF girls!

Beautiful!

Sadly, one of my absolute favourite online boutiques has gone out of business and/or has been taken over by a rival boutique which I absolutely despise.

I blame the state of the economy coupled with the counterfeits running rampant on eBay, CraigsList and the like.

In any case, thank you for the first pair of True Religions I actually liked among other purchases and awesome customer service all day, everyday!

T'is true. See link below to learn more about the Anticounterfeiting Alliance led by Harper's Bazaar.

No, dear, the $20 LV you got on the street in New York City is NOT just as good as the real thing and yes, dear, people can tell.

Thanks for reaffirming this, Donatella.


This is a toughie - sophisticated skirt suit with elegant clutch or hot pink trenchcoat with clear hooker slides?

I'll take the former.

opi: holiday in hollywood

Double-you tee eff OPI. Why must you keep coming out with these fantabulous new polish colours when I still have not finished my bottles from your equally fantabulous previous collection!

And I do my nails every week.

There is a solution for those of with nail polish A.D.D. - the mini-collections. For every collection, OPI does a sample of four polishes in bottles 1/4 of the size of normal bottles. I've been lucky enough to find one for the Russian collection and Holiday in Hollywood collection. Granted, they do not contain every single colour but I'd like to believe that they choose the prettiest ones.
