Marc Jacobs-designed clothes are better than Marc Jacobs without clothes. Please get dressed, Marc Jacobs. This isn’t the first time Marc has aggravated me and I’m sure it won’t be the last, considering he’s planning to get a tattoo that says, “Shameless.”

Lagerfeld Everywhere I Look
Which is more amusing? A Karl Lagerfeld teddy bear…? Photo from W … Or Karl Lagerfeld Keds designed by Jill Sherman at Trend de la Creme? (You can design your own Keds at zazzle.com, but it’s going to be tough to top Jill’s.) By Jill Sherman
The Color of Royalty
When Karla of Karla’s Closet modeled her peach American Apparel skirt recently, this anonymous comment made me laugh out loud: Oh how glad I am you didn’t choose the purple Barney-esque color. I think a lot of your style originality comes from the fact that you can wear just about any brand (I even dare…
Alexander McQueen Boob Bow Sweater
Why is Matches so cruel to me? The site won’t let me grab a big picture of this lovely Alexander McQueen boob-bow sweater. On sale at Matches UPDATED TO ADD: Gorgeous blogger Songy outwitted Matches and grabbed a bigger picture for us. Thanks, Songy!
A New Venture
A big thanks to all you blog readers! If you hadn’t been so supportive of this blog, maybe I wouldn’t have continued writing it for over a year. If I hadn’t continued, I wouldn’t have written about designer Christian Francis Roth. If I hadn’t written about Christian, he wouldn’t have contacted me. And if he…
London, Day 3: In Mrs. Sting’s Closet

RCFW tipped us off to a charity sale of designer castoffs by Trudie Styler (aka Mrs. Sting). Bargain-shopping diva Sharon had planned out a whole itinerary but when I sent her the info…

If you’re looking for examples of Christian’s previous work, you’ve come to the right place. I believe I have the…
Miu Miu’s Lady Harlequins
I like to look at these Lady Harlequin tunics from Miu Miu, both available on sale at Net-a-Porter. (They’ve been marked down further since the beginning of the week. Exciting!) Luxenoir has a photo of Anna Dello Russo from Vogue Nippon wearing the first one here. And Fashion Birdcage has a post about the harlequin…
A Tribute to YSL’s Mondrian Tribute
One of the most memorable pieces designed by the late Yves Saint Laurent was his Mondrian dress. Photo from the Metropolitan Museum of Art Since the original isn’t too easy to come by, you can pay tribute in Diane Von Furstenberg’s Mondian dress. The red version is on sale at Bergdorf Goodman for $251, down…
The News of the Day
I was really feeling the love for New York today thanks to a nauseating ride with a horn-honking, cursing cabbie who seemed to be belatedly auditioning for a role in Grand Theft Auto IV. In fact, the experience was so much like Grand Theft Auto that I decided to shoot my driver instead of paying…
