Just to show I don’t always wait till someone’s dead to appreciate them, here’s a photo of another great fashion character, Lynn Yeager of the Village Voice. I’ve read an interview where she talks about her unique and (for many people) controversial personal style; I’m desperately trying to find it to share with you. Whatever…
Isabella Blow in September Vanity Fair
The current issue of Vanity Fair (Gisele is on the cover) has an interesting article about Isabella Blow, the late, great fashionista and discoverer of Alexander McQueen and Philip Treacy. The article goes into great detail about her depression and the suicide attempts that led to her death. For someone of my macabre nature, I’m…
Green Is Your Dior
I was trying to describe these shoes to the charming In Yr Fshn. To make things easier, I’m scanning the ad. If this looks a little blotchy, blame the Snapple I spilled on it, rather than the beautiful Kermit-colored platforms. (The title of this post refers to a fantastic ’70s ad campaign.) UPDATED TO ADD:…
I Can See Clearly Now…
the rain is gone. After some bad storms here in NYC, the sun is shining brightly. But if you want to be chic in the next downpour, you should prepare now lest you find yourself buying one of those ugly $5 jobs off the street. Give Rihanna’s umbrella-ella-ellas a pass and check out Rain or…
That ’70s Jean
I’m intrigued by these high-waisted, wide-leg and colorful Dittos jeans. It would be most fun to get an original vintage pair from the brand’s ’70s heyday, but if you want them new, Intuition has the best online selection.
Tongues Are in Style
Well, well, it seems Gene Simmons has been getting around. Gorgeous client Angela sent in this picture of her dog Loolly displaying some impressive tongue. If you have a picture of a pet with a larger-than-life tongue, let me know and I’ll post it here.
This Just In: Papessa Prayer Lockets
My Papessa Prayer Lockets were inspired by the story of the medieval Pope Joan, who disguised herself as a man to become the spiritual leader of the Catholic church. Most historians dismiss the female pope as legend, but she has her supporters too. Whatever you choose to believe, this locket is perfect for carrying a…
Thanks, Flashfilm and Amour Magazine!
Wow! Flashfilm did a long piece on my jewelry, complete with an interview and lots of photos. I also got a mention from Amour. Click through to page 9.
This One Is for the Dog People
I found a blog called Dog Art Today, “devoted to daily dog art from around the world.” I should clarify that while I love dogs, I don’t dress mine up in little outfits (well, they each have one winter coat for very, very cold days) or carry them around in my purse. Regarding the purse…
