All in a days work.

i honestly cannot wait for the dirty jeerz to hit interview mag. oh terry, this is going to be genius.








seriously, terry richardson's blog terry's diary has been cracking me up. he is the ultimate fanboy. terry by far has the most enviable life - you know, hanging with the olsens, shaving jared leto's head,partying with mick jagger and larry gagosian. all in a days work.

Who could say no to this face?

According to the smoking gun, upon being arrested for public intoxication (which I always though was a bit ridiculous seeing as one can't sleep off their drunk in the bar nor can they drive home) Nick Snider offered to "suck the dick and balls" of his arresting officers if they released him. What I can't believe is that they didn't go for it.


(bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna go, whatcha gonna do when they come for you)

Found: Catherine Holstein!

So remember how I whining about this the other day - well, thank you fashionista for my finding Ms. Holstein.

Apparently, she designed a line for Japanese denim brand Evisu to hit stores this summer. what! what! this look is how my dreams work - the clouds break in the hazy gray of the morning with a jagged zip. and of course, i'm blond.








This is all very wearable, subtly hip mixable separates - the new basics to match everything you already own. There is a hint of swedish minimimalism but with the kink that Cat's fans love her for.

Missing: Catherine Holstein

Dear Readers,

Perhaps you can help me, but where oh where has my dear dear designer Catherine Holstein gone? Saks appears to have dropped her and everyone else online is only carrying sale goods from last summer. I loved Fall 2009 and had read that she was working to keep the price point below $500 (or $600 was it). This one time I even met her head of PR in Vue once and they promised me tickets to the show (i was wearing one of her sweaters). SO in fact,

Dear Catherine,

Would you please let me know what has happened to you.. I would hate to have lost you too this last year. Are you on hiatus? It's ok, we understand that times are tough, but you do make beautiful, intelligent clothes. What am I to wear with my black lipstick now? I've been ripping off your looks for sometime - help a girl out.

Nothing but Skins

I just LOVE Tom Ford's Spring Ad Campaign!

Cheeky tan lines on Carolyn Murphy. Cheeky grin on Nicholas Hoult (who also stars in Ford's a "A Single Man")

Hoult just has so much presence here. Those eyes! That hair! I don't feel that it is often that the male model is able to outshine their female counterpart, but wow.

It's great to see Hoult's evolution from Tony in "Skins", which between him and Dev Patel is becoming quite the spring board for careers, to this. Tony was such a great antihero and I keep thinking of him in his bed with those naked sheets.

Best of the Globes!

With the New Year, I have resolved to be a more positive person and as such, will only be counting down the 5 BEST fashion moments of last nights Golden Globes. (I will also be trying to be a less is more kinda gal and am limiting myself to 5)

In order:

1) Diane Kruger in Christian Lacroix Haute Couture. WOW - the tonal pinks are truly mesmerizing like a really perfect macaron from laudrée.



2) January Jones in Lanvin. This is such a timeless, beautiful look but necessarily an red-carpet one. Jones is smoking even covering up with the high neckline.




3) OMG - Anna Paquin brought it in Stella. She looks so grown up and radiant. Gold dresses for the Golden Globes could be over played but man-o-man - with those big black shoes, the mcqueen clutch and her hunky beau, Ms. Paquin is rockin' it.




4) Another score for the cast of Mad Men! Christina Hendricks and all her assets might be the only person on earth who can pull off what in any other situation would make that Christian Siriano into a bridesmaid disaster....



5) Julia Roberts in Vintage YSL. She isn't my fav as far as style goes, but going against the red carpet time, Roberts looks so graceful against all the fussy fishtails and spankx. This is a great look for her - it reminds us of that girl next door allure that everyone is always so atwitter about her.



** Crud in post script - i meant to have Julianne Moore in Balenciaga on this list but it seems unfair to take Christina off as men's choice.

The Vintage Motherload

In my fantasies I always imagine falling upon the motherload of vintage stores going out of business and having to sell me their warehouse of decades of curated clothing for midwest price, but dream I have to no longer. Some costume/prop/warehouse is going out of business and selling of literally thousands upon thousands of items from every era of the past hundred years. Lame bodysuits, 50's house dresses and a couple dozen police uniforms and everything in between are up for grabs and all separated into the respective areas. Much of it does border on costume, but it is a digger's paradise and if you are looking for something to wear to pride this weekend, while in Chelsea.....


I picked up some epaulets, a large military pin and a pair of Japanese thigh high socks with a poem on the bottom for $8 total. Good deal.

Ebony no Ivory

What the what? Tom Ford's limited edition sunglasses are a shocking 40% off $2,400 on the Outnet. This has to be the stealth wealthiest items out there. Are glasses the new shoes? I couldn't have imagined spending a couple a grand on something that gets rubbed all over the street a couple years ago and I can't imagine spending it on something that I could snap in half like the twig it it but with a basic pump starting at $600, this time next year we may all be wearing narwhal bone glasses. Tom Ford has been known to be ahead of the trends.

A. Wang Resort 10

If only my life was just like this. I see lazy summers, montauk and magnams of the most wondrous champagne.

thank gawd that dirty grunge is out. we are feeling so much more refined i feel young again...

and whose yacht are we on again?

Pony Play

I hear that Nina Ricci is selling off Olivier's last collection. I call treason! That is two strikes this year - for shame. (I would kill to be at that sale though)

Well, in honor to us mere mortals that 1) are not in Paris, 2) cannot afford such things anyways, 3) do not fit into sample shoes, and 4) bemoan the passing of Olivier Theyskens and the fact that all those shoes will not go into production.

If there was a god, I would wake up with these outside my door:


All this brings me to my original point. Now, I must say the resemblance may just be too tongue in cheek, sweetie.

Ex 1:




Ex 2:




...one of these things is not like the other...

Ex 3:




well, at least you can special order the latter. here's the link, you know you want it.


is "ballet" code for something i'm not aware of?
