and this is what I live for…

I love love love this collection. It’s like  Joan Crawford had a love child with a Russian WWII general. This is all kinds of YESSS! It makes me want to frolic up to a mountain top and pick beets from the farm for a supper of borscht!  The 1940’s shoulders …

Hells Yeah! I’m down for the foofy shawls and neck pieces! So snuggley and elegant! My favorite has to be fourth photo of the really feminine tuxedo. I love the colors peach and black together. There’s something lingerie and classic about the two colors. That Alexis ( don’t mistake him …

Since everybody and their mother are doing resort collections now, I thought I should write about a few. This is Jean Paul Gaultier‘s resort collection that has heavy nautical elements. Even though I’m not a turban wearing kinda gal, I do like it in this context. I just want to …

Check out this cool exhibit called “Prêt-à-Papier: The Exquisite Art of Isabelle de Borchgrave” at the Hillwood Estate Museum and Gardens in Washington! Belgian artist Isabelle de Borchgrave crafted 18th century gowns and shoes entirely of paper! Dang!!  Obviously, she doesn’t give an eff about paper cuts. Yes, I’m one of those people who …

Check out this Grey Knight Armored Hoodie from etsy seller SOFworks! My goodness, if I was a dude, I would totally rock this sweater. I’d wear it all day and everywhere. The best part, of course, is the hood that looks like a helmet. What I love is how wearable it …

Holy Plaid! It’s like a golfer’s convention shat on the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz! But I like it! Seriously, even though it’s a little overkill with the plaid, I LOVE the colors. Being a New Englander, I’m always pleased with lobsters being worked into fashion. And the …

I’ve written about Amato Haute Couture before  – I love love love  their stuff! The butterflies do remind me of Alexander McQueen’s dress, but it’s still rad anyway.  The model is Raina Hein from America’s Next Top Model… I never really see the contestants on that show doing much after …

Louis Vuitton and artist Vincent Bousserez joined forces for a brilliant series called   ‘Larger Than Life’. Tiny figures use the luxurious leather landscapes as their playground making for a wonderful scene. I love creative advertising like this! So, the artist does amazing work- check out his site, especially is art photos named ‘Plastic …

Check out these shirts by Headline Shirts ! I’m a big fan of the Pantone products, especially the coffee mugs and chairs. But, Pantone and THE MUPPETS?! Yes, puhhhleeease! My fave, obviously, is Piggy… light pink. A few months ago I threw a Muppet-themed birthday party for my 7 year old son. I …

Check out these cool chairs from Kamina C ! Looks like Bambi has met her maker. I kid… As you may know, deers hold a very special place in my heart. Actually, any woodland creature holds a very special place in my heart and the more Bavarian, the better. I guess I …
