The glam rock mood has really struck me after browsing through pictures of Freddie Mercury. In the ’60s and ’70s, Terry de Havilland’s shoes were worn by the likes of Bianca Jagger, Anita Pallenberg and David and Angie Bowie. More recently, Sienna Miller has rocked his outrageous wedges and Amy Winehouse sported a pair of…

Stars on Your Eyes
Behind Big Glasses posted about red sunglasses and included a star-shaped pair in the photos. That reminded me of a pair of shades Freddie Mercury of Queen wore in the “We Will Rock You” video way back in 1977. I couldn’t find a photo of Freddie wearing the glasses but I was able to find…
Great Minds Think Alike
Days after I compared my beloved Prada Gaufre bags to shar-peis, New York Times fashion photographer Bill Cunningham compares Gaufre bags to…shar-peis. (Photo credit: Bill Cunningham/New York Times. Site requires registration.)
Gold Boots for Fall
I like the idea of a gold boot for fall. These are the right color, but I’d prefer a higher heel. I could wear them while watching this movie, which sounds like a classic. Meanwhile, everyone wants these. And if you’re looking for a good shoe blog, try Shoewawa.
Ladies Who Lunch With Prada Bags
Today I had lunch with my friend Candice Sabatini. She and I have identical black patent Prada Gaufre bags. Here is a rather dark picture of the bags meeting at lunch. We left them together while we ate in the hopes that they would mate and produce a litter of wallets. I am obsessed with…
Paris Breakfasts
Carol at Paris Breakfasts is an artist and her blog is exceptionally beautiful. She featured one of my rings in a very colorful post. Don’t forget to check out the rest of her blog as well.
It’s the Surreal Thing
When I was in London a few months ago, I saw a terrific exhibit on surrealism at the V&A. They had some cute tromp l’oeil t-shirts in the gift shops. I got the one shown here for those days I want to feel like I’m in the cast of “Oliver!” I really wanted this one…
Latex Pants (And Pants That Just Look Like Latex)
Balenciaga’s ultra-expensive gold leggings seemed like a runway stunt, but shiny legs have crossed over into real-life wardrobes. It seemed to start with Kate Moss and Victoria Beckham. Or was it really American Apparel‘s gold leggings (see above)? Not everyone approves, but it’s now catching on in a big way despite the summer heat:So FASH’onSo…
Acne Jeans
One of the highlights of my recent trip to Sweden was a chance to shop for Acne Jeans in their native land. I like the medium-waisted Hex and high-waisted Tube styles. But if you like a lower waist, the Hep style is on sale at Barneys. I am intrigued by the Lavender and Flour colors….
Britney and the Ring
I finally dragged out the scanner, so here’s the picture from OK of Britney scampering off while wearing my Borgia ring, as well as a close-up of the ring. I’m not too keen on those tighty-whities she’s wearing, but I suppose they’re better than nothing.
