Igor + Andre by DannyRoberts on Etsy twists a classic into something major - ironic, funny, beyond.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone from TCEV!

These prints by Liz's Shop on Etsy are, well, awesome.

And that is all I have to say 'bout that.

Have a great weekend!

The Aqua Beverly Backpack.

This gorgeous bag has such range when pairing it with outfits. I imagine trendspotters stopping bikers in the streets sporting this bag with anything from a 70's inspired khaki pantsuit to a classically academic corduroy jacket with elbow patches. It's subtle and complimentary. I would love it forever. And at $175, it's an actual attainable little gem. Happy fall shopping.

The Sartorialist thought this was Preen's best garment. I think this dress wins in total, New York Fashion Week's Most Beautiful award.

What a fantastically talented photographer. The way he captured that movement is divine.

Spring is Coming

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 16:10:00 +0000

Combing trends the right way takes some thought. Here I began with a floral peach dress saturated in cream and purple accents from Mod Cloth. With it, I paired Guiseppe Zanotti cream studded shoes, a matching Rebecca Minkoff bag and tied the two together with some Giles and Brother gold bangles. Then I topped it off with a fantastic pair of purple Maribella Oliver Peoples sunnies and off you go to rule the Spring!

Chanel Couture

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 20:28:00 +0000

Karl Lagerfeld...

NO.

You simply cannot combine the elements of a classic Chanel suit with the futuristic tendencies of Lady Gaga. Shimmer leggings? Silver peep-toe platforms? Funky bun-hair with oversized bow? Raw silk suit? Does not compute. Does not compute. Hardrive overload.

If my computer could react, this is what it would look like:

This is not couture. This is trying to combine classic with trendy and failing.

You disappoint me, sir. I'll go cry in a corner now.

End rant.

This clutch.

I was fortunate enough to try it on at the Alexander McQueen store in Las Vegas. The glove fits perfectly and it detaches from the bag by snaps. It's my dream bag at the moment. Anyone spare $875?

I'm Domesitcated!

Getting Ready for Spring

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 14:30:00 +0000

Florals - I'm finally on the bandwaggon and thanks to urban outfitters and their fantastic sale/cheap accessories, I've added two new flowery fabulosities to my wardrobe to prove it.

I bought myself some hipster/ray-ban-esque sunglasses. They were $10.

This photo is from Mod Cloth because the dress is likely sold out from Urban's sale (I found the last one in the store and it was marked down to $29.99 from $128!). Looks like it's sold out from Mod Cloth as well, but fear not, if you like it you can add yourself to the mailing list for when they re-stock. I'm vacationing in Costa Rica in March, so this little number looks like it will come in handy.

Word of caution: I have no intention of wearing these two items together. Neither should you. One floral at a time, people. One floral at a time.

Awesome.

Currently Channeling: Teen Witch

I came across this jacket on Miss Selfridge and couldn't help but think of Robyn Lively from "Teen Witch."

What an underrated movie with incredible style.

Can anyone spare $6,000? I'd love to add this red number to my wardrobe. Alexander McQueen never fails to reawaken my passion for fashion. Look forward to a full review on his Spring 2010 collection.

More Men's Fashion Week: Dior Homme

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 23:42:00 +0000

No surprise here. Dior Homme follows many of the trends we've been seeing this Spring Fashion Week in Milan.

Sloppy tousled look and cropped pants. Looks like Robert Pattinson has more influence than we think.

Leather dog tags? Or just the best eye candy on the runway...

My favorite takeaway: don't be afraid to mix brown and black. It was a theme last year for Fall 2010 for women and it looks like it has now trickled down to the men as well. Who says brown and black shouldn't be friends? That's a stinky stale tradition. This new one smells like freesia - take a whiff.

Legend: Michael Jackson

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 04:54:00 +0000

Michael Jackson isn't just a music artist, he's an icon...

Pleather tuxedo with cropped pants, red bow tie, and white spats.

Jackets, my god, those jackets. Balmain can't hold a candle.

Mr. Jackson, thank you for creating some of my fondest childhood memories. The moonwalk, the glove, and your music will live on in infamy. May you rest in peace.

Men's Spring RTW 2010 - Giorgio Armani

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 12:00:00 +0000

Hello boys! It's day 3 of my Men's RTW Spring 2010 fashion week posts. Is it me or do they just keep getting scrummier?

Let's start with the stripes and the denim. Both are huge for Spring 2010, but the concept just isn't sitting right with me. I feel like we're going backwards in fashion. Maybe it's because fashion is cyclical or maybe it's because denim is cheap in light of the recession, but to me denim will always be what you wear to lounge around in and paint the walls. Somehow a denim suit or a blazer paired with jeans screams anything but high class to me.

But the spats. Those I can handle. The spats and the pin stripe suits in earth tones and geometric patterned shirts? Delish. That's the kind of classic chic I was expecting from you, Armani.

And note to Armani - don't get me wrong, the women are beautiful. Too beautiful. They totally stole the limelight away from the men. Are you insecure about your menswear designs so you felt you had to provide the public a taste of what's to come with the women? Or did you honestly think the women would enhance the runway? Because in my eyes they only overshadowed. Bad move.

My LBD could use an improvement. And I'm currently obsessing over graphite heels. So I've designed a new little outfit to drool over...

1. Pelle Moda Jaron Platform Sandals in Graphite

2. Catherine Malandrino Leaf Embroidered Dress

3. Giles & Brother Tiny Pyramid Stud Earrings

I really shouldn't have to tell you why this outfit is so fabulous. I mean, Catherine Malandrino speaks for herself. Just look at the intricate details on the bodice. And the heels are different enough to draw attention but they're also simple enough to not take away from beauty of the dress. Same idea goes for the earrings as well - I kept it in the geometric family. It's pretty much safe to say that I dream of owning this dress. It's so lusch, who wouldn't?

Men's RTW 2010 - Bottega Veneta

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 12:00:00 +0000

Bottega takes the whole "just rolled out of bed look" to the next level.

Slouchy, partly tucked shirts, haphazard scarves, and elastic ankle-length pants decorated the Men's RTW 2010 Bottega Veneta Runway. Oh, and manbags. Cannot forget the luscious signature leather weave that Bottega's known for. Cannot forget the manbags.
