Fall

Fall is heading way. Still a month to go, but I came across this photo that is inspiring me completely for the new season. Can anyone say faux fur and lalalace?

Louis Vuitton 2010

Check out the Louis Vuitton ads for 2010. They are oh so clearly inspired by Mad Men and it's so fab!

Et Lancel crea le Bardot!

The iconic Brigitte Bardot has come out with an IT bag for French design house Lancel. And boy, is it IT. The purse is completely eco-friendly as the actress is an avid animal rights activist and lover. 

Iconic for her teased up blonde "sex" hair, smoky black lined cat eyes and little-to-no clothing on the beaches of Saint Tropez, BB's bag is something worth noticing. Her slouch bag reflects her free-spirited nonchalance.

It comes in two 100% natural fibers, one version in tweed featuring some gingham (which the French bombshell made timeless in the 50s), the other in alcantara (a soft velvety fabric that almost feels like deer-skin to the touch). The bags come in a number of colors from brown to white to baby pink and baby blue as well as orange, black and gray. The Bardot bag also is accented with BB's initials hanging daintily with a couple of fabulous tassles.

Lancel's entire marketing for the bag itself is worth checking out, making ode to BB's amazing career in film, music and fashion stardom. Enter the quiz to win a free BB bag!

C'est tres chic.

For cinephiles and partygoers!

Graveyard movie screenings?
I'm so in!
With an upcoming screening of Arsenic And Old Lace, starring the ever-so-elegant Cary Grant, this eerie venue features a cool cat site for a pre-film picnic and DJ beats and bring your own booze after the screening!

This month up and coming: Saturday Night Fever and High Noon.
Let the spirits reawaken...

CLOGS - faux pas?

The clog. Sometimes as much feared as the croc. 

But oddly enough the style that I was most cringing at the thought of is really back in, no, really. And I like it! No, not because Miley Cyrus was spotted wearing them all over town, but because they're funky and take a full 180 to completely appreciate. 

One of the coolest trends for fall is the revamped clog, paired with some skin tight jeans or a crocheted dress, think ODDBALL fashionista.

Personally, I'm digging these Chanel styles, but for a lesser wallet-emptying alternative check out these Steve Madden pairs!
