Of the Kate Moss pieces available at this moment on Topshop.com, I like this tweed jacket the most. I’d have to see it personally to decide if it was worth 75 pounds. This grey cashmere sweater is also cute, but again, 65 pounds seems like a lot for what I think of as Topshop quality….
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…

Zang With a Z
Tonight my husband and I saw Zang Toi‘s spring line at a fundraiser Zang held for the Lance Armstrong Foundation. We saw both singer Patti LaBelle and DJ drag queen Lady Bunny there. Who is the greater diva? I would have liked to see them wrestle for the title. Maybe next season! The theme for…
Great Minds Think Alike … About Foldover Bags
Bag from Posh Vintage This ’60s foldover clutch from Posh Vintage (above) reminded me of Poppie Couture’s foldovers. The vintage bag is less expensive but the Poppie bags are certainly beautiful. I love the deep red color. Bag from Poppie Couture I feel that I’ve also seen foldover bags with a big ring handle like…
Life Is Not a Cabaret. Stop Calling Me “Old Chum”!
“Pictures lie.” That’s what my hairstylist once told me when I was complaining that I had just discovered I looked craptastic thanks to a photo. I hope this one is lying its ass off. I’m just sharing it to show a different look (though not a different pose) from the Ossie Clark printed dress look….
You Can Kiss Her Ass!
Thank you to Black Pearls for linking to a great YouTube video of Jennifer Lopez responding to fashion criticism. I love it! You tell them, J-Lo! Don’t mess with Jenny. She’ll cut you.
