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.
Happy Birthday, Leo!
If you need to buy a birthday gift for a Leo (self-gifting counts and is always encouraged!), consider the 18K gold and onyx Eleanor necklace shown here. If you like the onyx look but prefer other kinds of critters, check out my Cleves and Queen of Scots necklaces. And since I’m talking about Leos, I…
Boleyn Necklace at Hever Castle
Here I am wearing the Boleyn necklace outside Anne Boleyn‘s childhood home, Hever Castle. (Click photo to see the necklace clearly.) I wore the same necklace to a garden party in honor of Queen Elizabeth II at the British Embassy this spring. One of the young women working for the Embassy saw the necklace and…
Xenobia in London
Before this particular Xenobia went home with gorgeous client Angela, I took it to London. Angela asked me to show it the sights. Here is a Big Ring admiring Big Ben. We also went to the Tower of London and Hever Castle. Hever is the childhood home of Anne Boleyn and well worth a visit….
A Stylish Evening in Oslo
Earlier this month, my husband and I were lucky enough to go to Oslo and meet the ultra-chic Agathe of Style Bytes fame. I know Agathe’s readers can never get enough of her, so here she is with her fiance, taking a little rest during our nine-course meal. Kristoffer is fabulously fashionable himself — it’s…
The Healthier Addiction
My gorgeous client Alyssa, commenting on my jewelry’s popularity with naughty girls Britney and Lindsay, says, “Maybe you should set up shops in the exclusive rehab places they all go to. Jewelry is a healthier addiction!” She adds, “Personally, I think an ankle monitoring device ‘cover-up’ would be a hot seller.” In addition to being…
Xenobia in Bermuda
My jewelry gets around. Xenobia contemplated the sea in Bermuda with Angela, one of my gorgeous clients. If you are one of my gorgeous clients, please send me travel photos of your jewelry. (If you are Britney Spears, get help!)
