Leather And Lace

Picked up a few tops from the Bess sample sale Tuesday. I got one of their printed tees and a gorgeous kimono top. The kimono top is perfect for hanging around the house while casting spells.

Self Service Spring/Summer 09

Here are some pics from the latest photographed by Mario Sorrenti, styled by Camilla Nickerson. Yes please!

Karen Walker Super Duper Strength

I've been wanting some KW sunglasses pretty much since she introduced the line but I couldn't ever quite make it happen. Looking around for some new eyewear, sick of everything in my arsenal, I was getting quite discouraged when I happened upon these. My new Classic. And, is it just me, or did these get less expensive?

No Hats On Beds

Watched Drugstore Cowboy again last night. Matt Dillon is at his physical peak in this.

Yeah.

I literally got nauseous the first time I saw this bag in person. It made me nervous like meeting a rock star or something.

Just Hangin' Around

Knockout

Finally got up to Bendel's to pick up this cool new polish by Mike Potter, the guy who did the makeup for Hedwig. I was going to get the matte black but ended up with the red called Karen O and the green called Liberty as in Statue of___. I don't usually wear red despite my husband's constant pleading but I couldn't pass this one up. It has a really 'Pretty Baby' feel. Also grabbed Flatte Top which can be used as a basecoat, topcoat and makes any polish matte which is an exciting prospect on it's own! I'm wearing red today. p.s. It dries in like a second so you can change every day!

Devastation

I just read that the coolest couple in the world have split. Jarvis and Camille will always be together in my mind.

TOPSHOP

Picked up a fun-filled totebag from the Topshop via HeartsChallenger van. Unfortunately I lost the pic of the cute girls in the bowler hats handing out the stuff. The giftcard is worth up to $500 but can only be used opening day so it's going to be a bloodbath situation. Can't wait for tomorrow anyway!

Sweet Sale

The girls of Sweet Tater are having a wicked sweet sale. Get down there now! These girls are RAD to the bone!!

Elle Style 1980's

I picked up this book at the Strand last week. It's called Elle Style The 1980's! What? I was obsessed with Elle in the 80's. This book is all images from the French Elle but has the same spirit as the ones I used to pour over in elementary and high school. I even have a small collection of my old mags and am always scouring eBay for ones I don't have. The Roberta Chirko covers are my faves. I don't have any of those unfortunately. But I'm always searching...

The Naked Heroes

Saw my friends Merica and George Michael play last nite. They have a band called The Naked Heroes. Their live shows are BANANAS!!! Go see them now!

Mickey Freaking Rourke

Went to see The Wrestler tonight. It was so great but I wish I had seen it in the privacy of my living room so I could curl up in the fetal position and cry for like an hour like I wanted to. We went to eat Indian food after and I had to wait until we got to the restaurant to talk about it so I wouldn't get too choked up. I know Mickey looks really different than he did in 9 1/2 weeks but I still love him to pieces. I'm obsessed with this movie by the way. And I loved his blond bun in The Wrestler. I'm going to wear my hair just like his for at least a week.

Christmas Treats

We keep it real simple around here for Christmas. $50 limit and we usually buy something for the house. This year we got a new flatscreen tv for the bedroom using mostly the change we've been saving for 2 years. Here are the treats Brian bought for me.



The Grateful Dead Converse I've been eying. I probably won't ever wear these. They are more for display. And the new French Vogue with the Terry Richardson calender 'realized' by Carine Roitfeld. Magic I know.

Fergadelic

Stay Free

Here are a few of my favorite books. The first is a biography by Cherie Currie of The Runaways. I snagged this copy from a dealer on Amazon. She signed it 'Stay Free'. WOW!!! The second is an english copy of Christiane F. which was a real bitch to track down. The third needs no introduction. And the fourth is a really fun one I picked up with lots of great pics. I've been meaning to pick up the companion book Lady Of The Stars.

Paris '08

Moi. What? Did you think I was gonna post some more boring pics of Le Tour Eiffel?

Favorite New Polish!!!

So after reading tons of press on Rescue Beauty Lounge and all these cool colors they have I clicked on their website only to be enraptured by these new colors they have for Fall, Teal and No More War. The Teal is totally sold out online so I decided to pop into the store to check it out. Ji Baek herself was there on hand to help. They didn't have the Teal but they did have the No More War, and army green that is insane! There are also three colors based on Spongebob Squarepants called Bikini Bottom, Patrick and of course, Spongebob Squarepants. These colors are pale blue, peach and yellow respectively. I loved these but am a little weary of sheer colors. Ji was wearing the Bikini Bottom and it looked great on her so I decided to give it a try. I also bought No More War. Now I'm obsessed with this place and have to own most of the colors. Not cheap at $18 a pop, but that was all forgotten after I got a manicure with the Bikini Bottom yesterday. Are you kidding me? Look, it's the same color as my favorite summer dress!!!

Fashion Week

Went by the tents at Bryant Park yesterday. Got there just in time to see everyone going into the Phillip Lim show. It was a crazy crowded madhouse but I did make a few sightings. Lisa Love, Jefferson Hack, Ann Slowey, Simon Doonan, Sweetpea from Project Runway. Nothing that exciting. But when I went to my secret perch I spotted Anna Wintour and Rachel Zoe coming out. If you look really hard you can see Anna in the middle of the street there. All in all, very fun people watching on the most beautiful day of the year!
