Top Coachella Looks: Music to My Eyes
It’s that time of year again! When all creatures young and wild get down and dirty in the fields of Indio, California. Coachella is more popular than ever, going for two full weekends this year. Which means it’s especially no occasion to play it safe or serious. Find your muse, whether she’s the retro rocker [...]
Paris Fashion Week Roundup Part One:
Whatever the season, Paris Fashion Week is no holds barred, in-your-face fashion with a big capital “F.” It’s unapologetic, fiercely original, and often times, delightfully perplexing. Let’s face it: Parisians have a knack for taking getting dressed to the level of art form. Spring 2012 is no exception. Some of my favorite moments, full of [...]
Paris Mens Fashion Week: Day 2 (From Beautiful Balmain to Grizzly Givenchy)
Today, Paris played hostess with the mostess to several shows. Some were amazing and incredibly sexy. Others were eccentric or rather unremarkable. So if you read this blog, or any of its siblings, you’ll know one thing: we love our Balmain. It’s true. We love it, and lets face it, it is snobby. It’s pricy, [...]
Jennifer Connelly in Balenciaga
Balenciaga ready-to-wear, as much as I think is genius thanks to Nicolas Ghesquière, is admittedly not for every woman. The shoes Pierre Hardy designs for Balenciaga, however, are another story. My reaction when I see them in the showroom or on the most fashion-forward of celebrities is always the same: OMG. Simply put, they’re the [...]
Balenciaga Spring 2010
Not that I won’t miss the lady-like Balenciaga ‘Edition’ pieces but I am so glad Nicholas Ghesquiere is back to his street chic sensibilities for Spring 2010. I started buying his skinny skinny pants in 2000 (back when I was 89 pounds– pre-baby, pre-marriage) and I still have several pairs I will never give up! [...]
Balenciaga Fall 2009
Nicolas Ghesquière constantly surprises and amazes me; I did not expect this girly and fem collection but I love it! “High tech is over,” he declared before showing his Balenciaga collection. “And the clubbing.” In its place are softly draped skirts and prettily folded dresses with meticulous tailoring; very “Parisian” as Ghesquière describes it. The [...]
Snob Designers of 2008
10. Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton Ready To Wear- Forget what we’ve said about his bags or his personal life; MJ revealed his exceptional talent with LV’s RTW collections this year. Fall 08′s darted, pleated and sculpted line shows MJ’s newfound maturity (or sobriety) and announces he is a force to be reckoned with. He [...]
Balenciaga Edition at Barneys New York
For Spring/Summer 2009 Balenciaga offers a selection of exclusive pieces from the Balenciaga archives. Twenty six designs were selected spanning from 1932-1967. See for yourself the amazing designs of Cristobal Balenciaga as recreated by Nicholas Ghesquiere. I am so excited and can not wait to see the collection! I’ve included all my favorites here for [...]
Balenciaga Facets Strap Sandal
Shoes are getting so fancy they should be placed in glass cabinets to be admired, not worn. I don’t know how sturdy an enamel heel will be but it sure looks gorgeous! The gold version is more wearable and just as sassy. I love Balenciaga, want to buy the entire Fall collection this season but [...]
