Do You Ever Feel Like Something Is Missing?
Yet you can’t quite figure out what it is? “I can’t put my finger on it, but something is amiss, ” thought Gwendolyn. “Luckily, a LBD is always appropriate!” Gorgeous future client (ahem!) Jane, noticing my latex fetish, directed me to Syren Latex. Syren has high-end leggings as well as air-conditioned dresses. They also have…
More Latex Leggings (and Coats)
These cropped leggings are 15 pounds on Asos.com. There’s more shine to be found at TV, though that website is hard to browse. For all my latex posts, click here. If you’ve tried the latex look and you’re not listed, let me know so I can link to you! And if you really can’t get…

Money, Money, Money
Yogi Berra once noted that cash is almost as good as money. I’m not in the market for a new wallet to keep my cash in, but if I were, I’d be interested in these two sold at MOMA, both designed by Hester van Eeghen. The Sunrise wallet (above) is $145 ($130.50 for MOMA members)…
(G)Love Is All Around
Everyone is loving gloves and shiny clothes for the fall, so I give you … shiny gloves! These patent gloves cost $175 at Neiman Marcus and come in several colors. I’m rather partial to the green and plum, but black patent is always a classic.
