Last week, gorgeous blonde blogger The Shoe Girl came to town and took me to the FFANY Shoes on Sale party at Lincoln Center. I wore a strapless Jean-Charles de Castelbajac motorcycle-zipper dress that I got in Paris this summer. The dress made me a little crazy. I was inspired to try a hairstyle that…

Francis for Spring, Plus a Chocha Explanation*
*UPDATED MARCH 2010: THIS POST HAS BEEN REWRITTEN BECAUSE THE FRANCIS BLOG THAT IS MENTIONED IN THE FIRST SENTENCE IS NOW DEFUNCT. Drop everything you’re doing and run to my other blog to check out the Francis Spring 2010 look book! As I said yesterday, gorgeous blogger Jennine from The Coveted was part of the…
Smile and the World Smiles With You
I don’t know why I love this Jean-Charles de Castelbajac sweater, but I do. Gorgeous blogger ENC of Observationmode says, “Now you need to get it, put it on, then spill the filling from a raspberry jelly-filled donut down the front so it will look like it was shot in the head.” That would be…
eBay Pick of the Day
I’m mad about this leather jacket by Jean Claude Jitrois. It’s got everything: unusual colors, an asymmetrical zipper, a belt, lacing on the sides and a big ol’ horse (with jockey) on the front. Click here to see all the pictures on eBay. If you bid, don’t forget to snipe! The jacket reminds me of…
Want to Buy Me a Gift?
I would like this Salvador Dali “Bird in Hand” compact. It reminds me of some of my more complicated jewelry pieces. It’s only $3,800, so what are you waiting for? I would also gladly accept this vintage Moschino faucet jacket. The starting bid is $795 on eBay. Don’t forget to snipe!
Ashish at Browns and Other Sequined Stuff
I can’t believe I was just in London and didn’t go to Browns! WTF! Well, I had more important things to do most days. But I love looking at the Browns website and I definitely regret not squeezing in a visit in person. Right now I’m going crazy over a couple of pieces by Ashish,…
Mad, Plaid and Dangerous to Know
British poet Lord Byron (1788–1824) was famously described by one lover, Lady Caroline Lamb, as “mad, bad, and dangerous to know.” Do you think that phrase just rolled off her tongue in a “Eureka!” moment? Or did she secretly test out several options before hitting the Bartlett’s jackpot? From the desk of Lady Caroline Lamb…
Obsessed
This “artist’s jacket” by Karim Bonnet for Impasse de la Defense would be mine… … except it’s probably too similar to my painted jacket by Steve J & Yoni P. Right? If you want to get the artist’s jacket so I can live vicariously through you, it’s available at ShopCurious for £110.00.

Hanging With Zang
My adorable designer friend Zang Toi and I had a joint sample sale at his showroom yesterday. Zang was wearing one of his mini-kilts in honor of the occasion. Zang in his kilt.I’m modeling his tiger-print jacket. I got him to show off the cityscape cape that I obsessed about here. Back of the cape….
