Snob Worthy Links June 30, 2009
Bag Snob is impressed with the Zigliani Lace Leather Bag. Couture Snob discusses MJ’s influence on fashion. Jewel Snob would consider homelessness for this Anaconda Elisa Ring! Tot Snob found a great pair of Ballerina Slippers by Chloe. Fab Sugar offers a sneak peak at Mango, Summer 09. Nitrolicious is happy to have found a [...]
Alexander McQueen Resort 2010
Alexander McQueen‘s Resort 2010 was inspired by art and artists this season. Gorgeous eagle and optical motifs along with Jackson Pollock worthy paint splattered skinny pants make this collection one of the best I’ve seen this season. I must have this dress below– it is at once structured, feminine with a controlled fluidity that marks [...]
YSL Patent Bow Heel
Sexy and comfort usually does not happen in the same sentence but in this shoe it does. I love YSL for the mile high stilettos but they are not exactly meant for walking, not even to the car and back. Well, take a closer look at the platform on this shoe, it is much wider, [...]
Celeb Trend: Fierce Fashion
Given the recent passing of Pop King Michael Jackson I thought that there could be no better time than now to talk about the fierce fashion trend we’ve been seeing as of late. Michael Jackson pioneered this trend that has re-emerged thanks, in no small part, to Balmain. MJ, was in fact, often spotted wearing [...]
Forever 21? Or “Forever Sued”? Express files latest lawsuit
I’ll admit I’ve indulged in cheap thrills at Forever 21 at one time or another and anyone who says they haven’t is lying or just really out of touch. I’d say I’ve shopped there 3-4 times in the last 10 years and almost every time, I regret my purchases. The clothes fall apart and a [...]
Jean-Charles de Castelbajac Lego Sunglasses
DIY is all the rage these days — everyone seems to want their apparel and accessories to have a personal touch. I recently wrote about the Ray Ban Colorize Kit and was indecisive about whether or not to get one. I’m glad I held off. I’m completely obsessed with these Jean-Charles de Castelbajac Lego sunglasses. [...]
Fashion Astrology with Tyger Kahn: The Future of Fashion
Life Coach, astrologer, and clairvoyant are just a few of Tyger Kahn‘s titles. For years she hid the facts of her very posh upbringing in Palm Beach (in a 21 room mansion) and shunned the wealth and material life that her parents offered her since birth. Debutante balls, glittering jewels, golden bags and couture clothing– [...]
Stop the presses and embrace your wrinkles and creases!
Creases and wrinkles are very on trend right now. Crumpled summer dresses and jackets are fuss free and casually chic. Prada has the best crinkly clothes in the market– made mostly of of muslin and cotton, its filmy fabric looks feminine and crinkly pretty. Just make sure your hair is slicked back and sleek and [...]
The Little White Dress: LWD
Move over black dress, The LWD is giving the LBD a run for its money this season. We love the feminine ruffles on BCBG and Black Halo’s little white dress, it’s flirty and sexy without showing too much cleavage. Yes the ruffled neckline is dangerously similar to Joan Collins circa 1985 but paired with cinched [...]
Giuseppe Zanotti Sculpted Boots: Snob, Slob or Geisha Chic?
About twelve years ago I bought a pair of boots similar to this. They were by Skye and really beyond– even with the same red narrow platform! I couldn’t really walk in them but I was a hip 20 something in LA and as everyone knows, “nobody walks in LA”. So I teetered tottered gently [...]
