SAT SHOW ♥ YSL @ DENVER ART MUSEUM

Those lucky lucky Colorado kids. I haven't even seen this YVES SAINT LAURENT RESTROSPECTIVE...the one that debuted in Paris in say 2010...and now the kids in Colorado (Colorado!!!) are able to go see this amazing exhibition of the master's doings. A show like this could really actually change someone's life...meaning, they could be so inspired as to pursue something they've always wanted to. Very very amazing. Bravo to the Denver Art Museum people who worked it out for those Denver fashion lovers! Like the press release says: PARIS. MADRID. DENVER! YSL THE RETROSPECTIVE opens March 25, 2012 at the Denver Art Museum. http://ysldenver.com

GIRL FRIDAY ♥ MATERIAL GIRL

Wow. I love this issue of Material Girl. I can't get or find this magazine in the States. But I did see a couple of issues at the last agency I was at because the lovely lady in charge of images knew of it and ordered a few. It's even cooler in person than it is online. I just noticed they are pushing the latest/new issue. Look at how cool they did this young nun story. It's gorgeous. I am going to try to get this issue or get a subscription somehow so it's not a million dollars. Or maybe someone reading this is somewhere where it's easy to get one and I can send some money over to get it for me. I heart it so so much. These are the magazines I would love to cover my novel (which we start promoting soon!!! eeeks! and YIPPEEE!)...Material Girl and Lula and Oh Comely and Pig mag and The Gentlewoman (I just saw the Christy Turlington is on the current issue's cover with a caption that reads, "OH WOW"...which was my thought exactly!)...I know most people in PR and esp fashion PR leap right over at the bigger/mass market publications. But, for anything really good, that's like a big no-no. Unless you're already the shit like Louis Vuitton or something. For new things, I think it's always better to come up from the cool smaller places. I think that'll give something a load more cred. But, hey...if someone massive wants to cover my book...ALL THE BETTER!♡


really amazing. like the flying nun (which was a comedy tv show before our time...like the 60s)



i always love how they do their accessory stories.




look at the gorgeous makeup!

THURS SHOE ♥ ANCIENT GREEK SANDALS

These sort of very Hermes (the god, not the fashion house) gold Greek sandals made by ANCIENT GREEK SANDALS (they're called the IKARIA sandal) are pretty amazing. They cost around $250, which isn't bad if they are made well and will last you as long as you can wear them. I really love these little winged sandals. Why hasn't anyone made some winged Greek sandals to wear before? Available here. (These are sold out on the Colette site!)♡



i love those diagonal straps. perfect.

WED BAG ♥ LOUBOUTIN ANNIVERSARY BAG

I rarely put anything Louboutin on here. Not because I hate Louboutin. But everyone wearing the same Louboutin heels gets kind of...played. But I JUST did a post on that crazy amazing striped Armadillo Bride heel (that I SO SO SO SO want) and I felt I had to do something on this CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN 20TH ANNIVERSARY "ARTEMIS PARIS" EMBELLISHED-SHOULDER BAG. It is amazing and everything I love. First, it's simple. Not huge. Second, I love that shoulder pad with the crystallized scene of PARIS! See the detail below. Oh I love this bag so much. And I wish I could have it (along with that little Mini Lin Speedy by Louis Vuitton!). The Louboutin bag is....around $4000(US)!♡



terrible photo and outfit...from net-a-porter! but you can see how the bag works here.
