Yet you can’t quite figure out what it is? “I can’t put my finger on it, but something is amiss, ” thought Gwendolyn. “Luckily, a LBD is always appropriate!” Gorgeous future client (ahem!) Jane, noticing my latex fetish, directed me to Syren Latex. Syren has high-end leggings as well as air-conditioned dresses. They also have…

More Latex Leggings (and Coats)
These cropped leggings are 15 pounds on Asos.com. There’s more shine to be found at TV, though that website is hard to browse. For all my latex posts, click here. If you’ve tried the latex look and you’re not listed, let me know so I can link to you! And if you really can’t get…
Maid in Manhattan?
I haven’t worn gloves for years. I prefer to stuff my hands in my pockets and complain about the cold weather. But when I found these woolly fingerless gloves in Bergen, Norway, this summer, I was in love. Then, two days ago, I was on Madison Avenue and walked by Sermoneta Gloves. The brightly colored…
Luscious Leather
Isn’t this leather mini-trench by S.W.O.R.D. beautiful? I love it but I definitely can’t get it. I have too many coats and jackets as it is. Here is the back view (in a different color). It’s available at blaec.com. I’ve never bought anything from the site but I like to browse its interesting collection (even…
Go Ahead. Be a Big Girl’s Blouse.
Designer Anne Fontaine in her own blouse, via Factio Once in a while I walk by Anne Fontaine’s store on Madison Avenue and feel tempted to go inside. The French designer specializes in white and black blouses. Generally, I don’t like how I look in a button-down top but some of the pieces are pretty…

Money, Money, Money
Yogi Berra once noted that cash is almost as good as money. I’m not in the market for a new wallet to keep my cash in, but if I were, I’d be interested in these two sold at MOMA, both designed by Hester van Eeghen. The Sunrise wallet (above) is $145 ($130.50 for MOMA members)…
(G)Love Is All Around
Everyone is loving gloves and shiny clothes for the fall, so I give you … shiny gloves! These patent gloves cost $175 at Neiman Marcus and come in several colors. I’m rather partial to the green and plum, but black patent is always a classic.
Socks Appeal and What Lies Beneath
The hosiery industry is rejoicing. Tights (and socks) are back. Sock Dreams has interesting options(thanks to Allure, Style Bubble and several other bloggers for pointing out this site). Meanwhile, if you’re in need of lingerie (whoever you are… male, female…I don’t judge), Bare Necessities has a huge selection.
Buy My Dress at Frock NYC
My favorite vintage store, Frock NYC, has relaunched its website! Check out the beautiful selections, including Ossie Clark, Thea Porter, Ungaro and Moschino. Not to mention my very own Versace Couture dress (see above), worn to the Oscars in 2003! And if you’re in NYC, you must stop by the store at 148 Orchard Street…
