Giuseppe Zanotti Rubber Wedge Boots

11.Nov.2009

Wearing

Giuseppe Zanotti Rubber Wedge BootsI just snagged these Giuseppe Zanotti rubber wedge boots on eBay. With a pebbled rubber wedge and fur lining, these’ll be perfect for Sundance–and those 72°F and sunny December days in LA.

It gets cold when you sit all day at your desk in just a La Perla laser-cut thong.

No one ever said working from home was glamorous…



Norma Kamali Wellness Travel Gourmet Kit

11.Nov.2009

Drinking:

Norma Kamali Wellness Travel Gourmet KitA few weeks ago I visited Norma Kamali’s showroom/retail space in midtown Manhattan. PR lady Sari gave me the tour, and when we stopped in Norma Kamali’s Wellness Cafe I bought Norma Kamali lavender candies, lavender soda, and lavender tea (and they gave me this dress).

Curious how flower candies taste? Try Norma Kamali’s Gourmet Travel Kit of olive oil, lavender tea, and honey lavender drops.  Norma Kamali looks as fresh as her Walmart models, so while I wait for her line of organic, free-trade, vegan Botox, I’ll  drink whatever holistic Kool-Aid she sells…



Kimberly Ovitz Floor-Length Dress

09.Nov.2009

Wanting

Kimberly Ovitz Floor-Length DressOf the handful of fashion designers inspired by Ayn Rand, Kimberly Ovitz’s loving The Fountainhead makes the most sense. A black and white palette plays up Kimberly Ovitz’s form-follows-function fashion, and the elegance of the economy of her design celebrates a raw femininity. Check this inky essence of a dress, this Kimberly Ovitz floor-length silk jersey dress. So choice…

Alexander Wang Draped Back Top

03.Nov.2009

Wanting

Alexander Wang Draped Back TopThis Alexander Wang draped back top is a calm lavender, but the naked back it frames is still stimulating. Maybe it’s our desensitization to the Hollywood Hills’ hills, maybe it’s the vulnerability of an open back, or maybe it’s just the charm of admiring a woman who’s both wildly revealing and a faceless stranger.

And maybe I should just buy this Alexander Wang draped back top



Juicy Couture Draped Back Sweatshirt

03.Nov.2009

Hating

Juicy Couture Draped Back SweatshirtThe draped back on this Juicy Couture cropped sweatshirt is surprising, but only because it’s jarringly out of context.

What’s sexy about poorly fitting gym gear?

Apparently something, with the right label: a twice-the-price Alexander Wang draped back sweatshirt is sold out…



Halston Draped Back Top

03.Nov.2009

Wearing

Halston Draped Back Top My closet’s pretty clear: made-to-order “KD” monogrammed shirt dresses, a rainbow of solid silk jersey racerback tank dresses (I just had one made in lavender), and plenty of satin slippers…

Consistency is underrated.

But I do like great surprises: something truly unexpected, though it feels fated. Like the backless blouses I started collecting. I especially love this Halston draped back top I bought in pewter: its high necklace melts into its blooming, body-skimming shape — which flutters open into a flash of naked back.

Endings are so important…

Cartier “Crash”/”Dali” Watch

28.Oct.2009

Wanting

Cartier Crash or Dali Watch Usually called the Cartier “Dali” watch, Cartier’s melted watch is really the Cartier “Crash” watch, and Salvador Dali had nothing to do with the design, though he’d appreciate the twisted story:

“A vice president from the Cartier offices in London was involved in a fatal car crash. A fire ensued and the occupant along with his watch was caught up in the flames… “melting” the watch on his wrist, a Cartier Bagnoire Alongee, which is shaped like an elongated oval. The watch being melted and mangled took on the shape of a surrealistic watch from a Dali painting… Cartier found this “watch design” inspiring, and decided to introduce is as a new design, as a tribute to their fallen colleague.”

Cartier “Crash”/”Dali” watches are rare, though they had a few runs: first in the 1960s, 300 18K gold pieces were made in 1991, a special platinum edition was made in 1993, and Cartier re-released the “Crash” watch as a ladies’ diamond dress watch. The last edition of the Cartier “Crash”/”Dali” watch comes in 18K yellow, white, or rose gold. The rose gold “Crash” watch is the most choice: it’s set with rare, rose diamonds. Even if you can find one, the rose gold Cartier “Crash” watch retailed for $73,000…



Salvador Dali “Bird In Hand” Compact

28.Oct.2009

Wearing

Salvador Dali Bird In Hand Compact Before Murakami stamped cherry blossoms onto Louis Vuitton bags, Salvador Dali designed a “Bird In Hand” compact for compact manufacturer Elgin in 1952. Sweetly Surrealist, the bird’s wings lift to reveal powder, the tail hides a space for pills, and you tug off the bird’s head to access your tube of lipstick. Salvador Dali “Bird In Hand” compact comes in satin bronze, too, but this sterling silver version is choice, espesh with 14K overlay on its wings…
