I usually frown upon double denim outfits (known in my books as double denim disasters!), but this collection from Alber Elbaz for Acne is amazingly designed:
None of that dated, faded look of denim on cowboys, but instead fitted looks bordering on corporate. I think I can even get away with some of the darker pieces [...]
Frankly, this really isn’t a breaking-news kind of post. The Lanvin + Franz Collection dolls were all over the blogosphere last year.
However, if you (like me) haven’t set eyes on them until you bought your monthly dose of Style: magazine recently, you may want to take a look.
The way I see it, if you can’t [...]
Our typical Saturday routines go along the lines of this: We wake up, wash up, wolf down breakfast in a daze with the optional mug of coffee, and log on to ask each other ‘What are we supposed to do today?’ before proceeding to shop, eat, or entertain ourselves by one film or another.
Today was [...]
If you have been reading us often enough, you will know that I wear a lot of dresses. Other than the fact that I’m pretty lazy (and thus throwing on a single piece of clothing is appealing), there are a lot of other stuff that I like about the dress
Mostly, I love that [...]
What can I say that has not been said on the blogosphere and on the international press?
It is said Yves Saint Laurent drew beautifully and wrote beautifully as well. With this quote, it’s hard to believe otherwise:
“The most beautiful clothes that can dress a woman are the arms of the man she loves. But for [...]
I came across the illustrations of Lovisa Burfitt via Knight Cat. What first caught my attention were the sketches of the legs with the shoes on them.
Like all self-respecting shoes lover, I have a radar for them, even in sketch form. Actually, especially in sketch form, because in the anything-goes world of sketches, there are [...]

If I wear these pair of Marc by Marc Jacobs Mouse Ballet Flats, will I have to run from cats?
On a more serious note, I’d been smitten with these mouse ballet flats since I first saw them some time last year. But I have absolutely no hope of affording them.
A while ago, [...]
I’d say that the best part of the Sex and the City movie is how it is truly shoes-spiring We are now completely convinced that we need fierce shoes - no more cute stuff for us! The whole tough-pretty mix is so awesome, and the easiest way to get the look will be to [...]
For the last film club (after a long lapse), we watched Belle de Jour.
Before I continue, this is what happened in Paris last year at the Virgin’s Records when Stephie was trying to track down the elusive DVD for this 1967 classic:
Stephie: Do you have Belle de Jour?
French Sales Lady: What? *heavily accented*
Stephie: Erm… *have [...]
It is uncanny that so shortly after I’d posted about the ultra laid back photoshoot March Jacobs did with Elodie Bouchez, the over-the-top shoot he did for Interview magazine should surface.
The white-powdered face, white blond Warholian wig on top of red hair, the false eyelashes - all look strangely unstrange on him.
I know it isn’t [...]
