Christian on Chloe

Chloe Sevingy looked stunning in this halter Preen dress with front key hold detail, while rockin Christian Louboutins at Big Love's final season premiere.  Even though people may think this look can be a little busy, I love the mix of prints and details; she always does it right.

Leighton & Pierre

Love this photo of Leighton Meister.  Here she is in Madrid, Spain promoting Herbal Essences.

She looks so elegant and chic in her black dress from Versus, and I love how she paired it with these funky Pierre Hardy shoes.  

It's so easy to spice up any little black dress you have, 

just choose your accessories wisely ladies!

"Qu'ils mangent de la brioche"

To translate:

"Let them eat cake."

This phrase is commonly associated to Marie Antoinette; but there are no records of these words ever being expressed by her.

Since my plan for Halloween was to channel my inner Marie Antoinette, I needed visual inspiration to prepare for this prestigious role.  Yes, the movie written & directed by Sofia Coppola is basically watching Kirsten Dunst and crew eat, drink, party, drink, shop, and did I mention drink?  However, I think both women did a visually stimulating job in capturing the essence of her reign during the 1700's.

Talk about pressure: At the age of fourteen, she married Louis-Auguste and became the Dauphin of France.  After the death of King Louis XV, her husband ascended the throne of France as King Louis XVI and she assumed the title of Queen of France.  

And did I mention the shoes!? Deep sigh...

Silk, taffeta, lace! Oh my!

Even Christian Louboutin was inspired!

This purse was reminiscent of the era,

and I just thought it was stunning.

Here it is.
The moment you've all been waiting for.
Here I am,
channeling my inner Marie.

Shoe Shopping

Two simple words.

Combined, a lethal weapon to most men; 

to all women, their legal drug.

Shoe + Shopping =

Two words that I will never say NO to.

When Scot asked me to accompany him to find 

a new pair of black shoes; 

per my last statement, how could I resist this offer?

 Black tunic tee: L.A. Made
(great layering piece)

Gray jeggings: H&M

 Scarf: Filene's Basement 

(I miss the downtown crossing location so much)

Black studded shoulder bag: Urban Outfitters

 Zip up sweater: James Perse 

(of course it's from the Sample Sale last weekend)

Knee-high teal suede boots: Nordstrom

Aviator shades: Marc by Marc Jacobs at Saks

Necklace: Francesca's boutique

Ring: Gift from Greece (thanx Claudia)

Unfortunately, it was an unsuccessful trip for Scot.

Fortunately, I was able to score a pair of 

Black lace-up menswear style Charles David ankle booties!

 Patent leather detail on the toe and heel

 This photo is a little creepy,

like a severed leg kind of creepy;

but I kinda like it. 

 Lace up detail

 Rockin them with my pink knee high socks

 Menswear inspired detail

 Leopard detail inside the shoe!

Just like the lining inside a jacket;

you'll never see it, but it's like icing on the cake.

These would also look amazing with

 trousers or wide leg denim!

<3 <3 <3

It's funny cz I actually found these shoes at Off Broadway, 

a store that I never go into.  

This just proves, that you'll never know what you'll find, 

so don't judge a store by it's cover.

Me, Myself & Manolo

There comes a time in your life, when you feel like
"Wow! Is this really happening? Unreal." 

For me, that time came when Manolo Blahnik (yes, the man, the myth, the legend himself, my inspiration) leaned over as if revealing the most intimate of secrets and whispered in my ear "You look so chic! I don't understand why everyone else looks like shit."

Am I dreaming? Fortunately not. This is a true story.
