Give your fingers a gift

Cocktail rings are gaining more and more exposure as the new accessory. They are a great way to show your own personal style as there are so many different kinds to choose from.

A few favorites are the YSL ones (Yours truly wearing the gold-dipped)
below are the other styles available from YSL.




Prices range from $150-575, buy at ysl.com

The best places to browse for unique rings for a bargain are the flee markets held in the big cities (Paris has a great one, as well as the Fairfax Flee Market in LA), but of course if you can afford it, buy big, bold and encrusted!

Ah-MAZE-ing?

Hmmm Last season Rick Owens seemed to be the golden boy from LA, and now I'm not so sure anymore...

Here is his dizzying collection for the spring. The collection at least has a point of view, and not all of the pieces are just conceptual.

And We're back

It was a short break, but promise to update more frequently from here on out. Also, now officially based in London, and with a new city, lots of fashion news to share!

Sex, Lies, and Mr. Margiela

Hot hot hot! Talk about eyes wide shut. Peek-a-boo sexy over in Paris gave us all a thrill, a great contrast to the granny prints we are seeing for the Spring. What do you think? Innovative, or just unwearable? Thanks Josef for turning me on to this amazing under-the-radar designer.

If I could, I would.

Fall '07 Bags: Still Slithering

So, we are getting back to the times where a simple Gucci logo bag is not enough in status-land. The bags must be bigger, more expensive, and most importantly, made from a poor reptile carcass. Makes perfect sense, right? I cant deny loving them either.

Prada $2,620.00

As if Heels werent hard enough to walk in...

The LBD (little black dress)
Marios Schwab

Following in Alia's body con footsteps, Marios Schwab is a modern-day sculptor, making women's bodies look like that of a Greek goddess. Don't believe me? Each one of his immaculate pieces are crafted with sewn-in girdles designed to amplify certain body parts, and hide the ugly bits.

Balenciaga, Spring/ Summer 2008
