GIRL FRIDAY ♥ LA SERA'S KATY GOODMAN

songbird Katy Goodman
Katy Goodman is a force...meshed with cool femininity. She's part of all-girl punk band Vivian Girls , she's one of the founders of record label Wild World and now she's also developed a new band, La Sera, that showcases her signature 60s-candy-dream voice. And, if you hadn't noticed, she's stylee, too. Take a look at the first video from the debut La Sera record. It's a little gory, mind you, but in a cheeky fun super pop way. I don't know if it's supposed to be a nod to girl power or  have more of an "I love you to death" vibe. But either way, it's interesting and it works really well as a contrast to  the sweet melody of the single. The first record hits the streets in February, but you can pre-order it here . You can buy the first single, from the video, "Never Come Around", on ITunes, now. La Sera is going on tour, so catch one of their shows (see below) if you can. (PS I would have tried to get an interview if I hadn't decided to do this post so quickly. I hadn't realized it was already time for Girl Friday...so I"ll try to land one next time around.)♡




if this is the cover art for the new record, it's AWESOME!

SHOE ME THURSDAY ♥ BAMBI HEELS!

omgoodness i love these shoes!
Bambi and heels and fantastic fashion cache like Jean-Charles de Castelbajac...could you ever imagine all of those things wrapped into one darling heel that you can actually buy and keep and WEAR? Some of us who fancy creativity and personal style don't always want the simple black dress or the T-shirt and jeans. On those days, we still love having a bit of flash in our wardrobe with the black dress or the T-shirt and jeans. These Bambi heels from Jean-Charles de Castelbajac's Fall 2010 collection are perfectly done. The only complaint I have is that they're under 4 inch heels. Dunno why he didn't make them at least 4 inches, but they're still amazing. I really want to own these. I mean, they went into production! They're ONLY $765 and available here ... I think these are like buying a little bit of fashion art. For as long as you have and run around in your Jean-Charles de Castelbajac Bambi heels, everyone will wonder what they are and where you got them. I also love the little tail detail. I will have to figure out a way to justify it and spend $800 on these. I have video of the collection below...have a look and then have some fun with your wardrobe. Even if it's just a pair of dear deery heels peeking out from under your jeans.♡

perfectly made!

see the bambi shoes from the fall 2010 collection?
this kind of vision is what makes me giddy about fashion and fashion designers

Here's video of the Jean-Charles de Castelbajac Fall 2010 show:

WEDNESDAY WONDER ♥ CIRCUS W SHOOT

Truth be told...I think the new W magazine....sucks. It's been whittled down to  a couple fashion stories and a lot of elitist stale stories. Yep. Sorry. But I do like one of the stories in the new issue...it's gorgeous...and very very holiday. Even though it's supposed to be circus-family themed. Shot by Paolo Raversi and styled by Alex White (genius), check it out and see for yourself. (And Lindsey Wixson looks gorrrgeous.)♡

WEDNESDAY BAG ♥ MIU MIU MINK SATCHEL

This bag is...yes....AMAZING! It's just under $3000 (US) and available through Bergdorf Goodman (of course). Miu Miu just seems to get better and better. But I especially love it when you get surprised and see a piece you might have otherwise forgotten about. Or pieces that get introduced specifically for holiday. This satchel is gorgeous and I'd love to have it. Though, I do have a rule where I do not ever buy new fur. If you buy vintage, there's no quota being met...there's no tick mark, per se, of a sale. But this bag sure is pretty.♡
