I’ve been wondering whether I should start working on the six wives of Henry VIII. There are scores of books about the ladies in question and Henry himself. Then there are Henry’s children too. This could take months! But I’ve decided it’s not going to get easier if I wait, so here we go. Before…
The San Francisco Treat
Continuing my tour of fashion bloggers around the world (“Coming Soon To Your City!”), I hit San Francisco last weekend to meet Jennine of The Coveted. Photos don’t do her justice. She was even more beautiful in person than on the blog, though I didn’t recognize her for a second because of the brand-new bangs….
This Just In: Tiny Tortoise Locket
Diamond Tortoise Locket Necklace © Gigi Caron Ltd. 2007Photos by SquareMoose Photos of a new piece have arrived from the photographer. It’s the tiny tortoise locket. Above, you see it closed, and below it is open. The tortoise is 18K gold with a diamond and comes on a 16″ chain. When I was about three,…
More Latex Lovers
While I’m mentioning other blogs, I wanted to comment on the continued growth of the latex look. I can’t wait to see Agathe wear her latex dress on Style Bytes. Jennine at The Coveted went for the American Apparel leggings. This young lady looked beautiful on The Sartorialist. I’m amused that I kept a pair…
Two Posts I Wish I Wrote
I am just back from San Francisco and need some time to work on my S.F. post, plus tomorrow’s book club post. So for now, let me refer you to these two great and incredibly well-researched posts. The first is Dorkas’s post on l’Inconnue de la Seine. The second is The Stiletto Effect’s post on…
Socks Appeal and What Lies Beneath
The hosiery industry is rejoicing. Tights (and socks) are back. Sock Dreams has interesting options(thanks to Allure, Style Bubble and several other bloggers for pointing out this site). Meanwhile, if you’re in need of lingerie (whoever you are… male, female…I don’t judge), Bare Necessities has a huge selection.
Media Alert: Ramona Russell of Uptown Liz
The lovely Ramona Russell (above right) has been interviewed by former CNN anchor Daryn Kagan, and you can catch the interview on Daryn’s website Tuesday starting at 7 AM ET. As I previously posted, Ramona is the founder of Uptown Liz, a shopping site created in the memory of Ramona’s sister Elizabeth Ann Overturf (above…
BritneyWatch, Continued
If you can still get the issue of OK! Magazine with Britney Spears and her assistant on the cover…look closely! I’m 99.9% sure that’s my Borgia ring on her finger. You know, lots of jewelers get their work on the red carpet. But how many get theirs photographed in a topless, Sapphic pool romp? It’s…
Media Alert: The Coveted in the Chronicle
Jennine of The Coveted is quoted in the San Francisco Chronicle! Hmmm. I have to say I wish the reporter’s tone was a little nicer. Here’s the passage: “‘I will not be attending S.F. Fashion Week,’ begins a rant on www.thecoveted.blogspot.com, which was later picked up as a link on several other fashion blogs. ‘I…
Kawaii!!!!
Fashionably Cute is a webzine dedicated to all things kawaii. I discovered it when FC linked to MY link to b.lush, who borrowed it from her boyfriend. (Cute food is so viral!). The ice cream sandwich piggy is killing me!
