Studded and spiked shoes have been done to death, and I thought the look would never appeal to me again. Well, you know what I say about the word “never”; I might as well replace it with “definitely” when it comes to fashion.

Enthralled by Versace Pre-Fall
Before the holidays, gorgeous blogger Jennine of The Coveted asked me if I would be interested in visiting Versace’s 5th Avenue store to check out the pre-fall collection. Jennine knows I have a good pre-2005 Versace collection thanks to Teresa, who was a stellar sales associate at the now-closed Versace boutique on Madison Avenue. Teresa…
More of the Latex Look from Kova & T
Kova & T was early on the latex-look legging scene. I’d be drooling over the new latex-look one-shoulder dress if it didn’t appear to be so damn short. Kova & T$510 at Net-a-Porter I love shiny black clothes. I love one-shoulder dresses too. But I don’t love “too short” even if MrB thinks there is…
Shiny Skirt
Thanks to LynnZ for pointing out this second-skin, latex-look skirt by LNA on Shopbop. Shopbop suggests wearing the skirt with a loose-fitting t-shirt. I think that would be a good way to balance it out.

Intermix Picks
Intermix has fringe, skinny stretch leather pants and studded boots. If they also sold Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate bars and Coco‘s official 2008 calendar, it would be my idea of heaven. Okay, not really. Heaven is Bergdorf Goodman. But this stuff is still cool. Elizabeth and James Helmut Lang Giuseppe Zanotti UPDATED TO ADD: Gorgeous…
Vintage Thierry Mugler
The kink-a-licious Asudem Latex of Doll’s Realm tipped me off to this vintage Thierry Mugler PVC catsuit on eBay. Check out the collar and cuffs! If you bid, don’t forget to snipe Thinking of Thierry Mugler made me scramble for my (autographed!) copy of photographer Arthur Elgort’s Models Manual. There’s a photo of models Karen…
