Ask WendyB
Gorgeous blogger Winona of Daddy Likey does a great feature called Inadvertently Ask Daddy Likey, for which she offers highlarious “answers” to questions inadvertently posed by search terms people use to find her blog. Here’s Winona.Ain’t she cute? I was thinking of Winona’s feature because search terms with question marks keep appearing in my stats….
Fierce Prada Shoe
Love the fin on the back and the beige strap across the instep. (I don’t own this shoe, am just sharing the picture.)
Topshop’s Ossie Clark Ripoff
I’ve mentioned before that Topshop has been using textile designer Celia Birtwell’s association with Ossie Clark to knock off the late designer’s work. To sum it up for those who didn’t read my previous post on the topic, Celia was married to Ossie back in the day. She designed the striking prints that were used…
Patrick Kelly Has Landed
I want to get more emails like the one I recently got from gorgeous client Melissa. She was so enthused about the leopard-spotted Patrick Kelly dress I posted about that she sniped it from eBay.

And speaking of bandwagons, you bloggers were months ahead of the designers and fashion media with your interest in band/military-style jackets. Bravo! Balmain is copying YOU! Here…
Vintage Moschino Picks of the Day
I like to keep an eye out for fun Moschino pieces on eBay. Check out this “emoticon” jacket. The same seller has a Moschino jacket with heart buttons that would be great for Valentine’s day…and other days too. If you bid on eBay, don’t forget to snipe! If you prefer the “buy it now” option,…
One That Got Away, Others That Didn’t
You win some, you lose some on eBay. Here’s one that got away. I should have bid higher for this caped Patrick Kelly jacket. It went for under $100. What was I thinking? I was thinking I have enough jackets, that’s what I was thinking! But I don’t have one like this. This auction was…
