Teacups & Couture A Fashion Blog by Roxanna Bina

HAHAHAAHAAHAHAH! This trend of covering the models’ faces is really getting out of hand. Every ‘buttaface’ model has a chance now. A little Rorschach-ian, I suppose That is all. photos: Fashion 156

This is the Le Vieux Panier Hotel, Marseilles, France. One very special room got the royal treatment ( and by royal, I mean the like the walls of a subway station that smells of 50 years of  piss and sweat) by graffiti artist Tilt. More photos here. I personally would love …

All I can see are a rainbow of colors that was missing from the Fall shows all around the world , so that automatically is a plus in my book. Manish gave the 1950s silhouette a punky, colorful twist that I LOVE. And the doody knots on the models heads …

Check out Luxury Lane – they have everything from home goods to leather accessories to outerwear for men and women. They sent me a pair of green leather gloves with a BOW (yes, my bow obsession continues … in LEATHER), lined in wool. They really are snuggly and warm. The best …
