I’ve a uniform: a custom-made silk jersey tank dress, a fancy Hermes fanny pack (pictures of my pet to come, my pets), and four-inch Giuseppes. This keeps me overdressed by most LA standards, but lately I’ve been hunting for a suit to wear to rare meetings. And what beats investing in vintage Chanel? What i love most about vintage Chanel suits are their no-one-else-knows luxury, like that gold chain-weighted hem… |

Vintage Chanel suits purr power, like the engine of a Phantom, like the Godfather petting a kitten. Sure, the brass buttons give this Chanel suit away, but the boxy blazer skims over a blouson top, tucked into a loose skirt, all in a basic black that only serves as a background to your own beauty. This vintage Chanel suit says you don’t need to say anything… |
 |
The whole appeal of a vintage Chanel suit isn’t so much in a super flattering silhouette as in the quiet luxe of it, the economy of its elegance, the subtlety of its sex. So why bother with a boring red suit tagged Chanel? Thanks for nothing, Karl… |

Invite-only shopping site Gilt.com is pimping Helmut Lang this Wednesday. So check this Helmut Lang fur vest. You’re wondering when your chest is freezing, though apparently it’s warm enough to bare arms?
When Gilt.com puts Helmut Lang on sale. This is probably five bucks… |
 |
Well, I’ll be wearing this soon enough, unless this Helmut Lang shift dress sells out in my size.
Which is very possible — I’m a monstrous size two… |
 |
You want to look like a peach, not a pear. This is Helmut Lang at its worst: unnecessary, unflattering draping for that art-school reject look… |

Kimberly Ovitz makes very ready-to-wear that gives you that studiedly careless chic that usually takes a lifetime to style.
Case in point? A little black and white dress strung together by an exposed zipper… |
 |
This Kimberly Ovitz dress is perfect. So simple and sheer, it’s one of the few dresses that look sexier on than lying in a pile next to your bed… |
 |
I only wonder if this Kimberly Ovitz hoodie dress would look so chic on the average girl.
Fuggit, who cares about average girls… |

I’m a sucker for flapper frocks and texture; this Alice + Olivia dress has both. The only way I’d like it more was if it was a rich man.
But even better? This Alice + Olivia mini dress — along with everything full priced at ShopBop — is 30% off with promocode HOLIDAYLOVE, until midnight… |
 |
I’ve got this A+O mini dress in royal plurple. This Alice + Olivia tank dress is one of those simply cut dresses that are simply flattering.
Unless you’re fat.
Only $130 with promocode HOLIDAYLOVE, until midnight… |

Patent pink on fuschia makes this Alice + Olivia mini dress vibe costumey, instead of their usual cute wink at retro… |

I dig that scalloped triple tier, teasing into an otherwise simple tank LBD.
Plus, I’m always in love with a good flapper frock, though we’re def on the other side of 1929… |

A black dropwaist tank dress that’s so simple, subtle, chic, it’s the perfect LBD–
To forget to wear your panties with… |
 |
If it seems like a good idea to sell it with leggings, it’s a bad idea.
Like everything in this economy, looking like the retarded sister of LiLo is on sale… |
