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…

Jackets, Now and Then
Earlier this week, I wore the Ossie Clark shirt/jacket I got in London last year. Back in 1983 or 1984, I wore a kickass ski jacket. Thanks for dredging this up, high-school classmate Mel. Oh, the wonders of Facebook. UPDATED TO ADD: In the first photo, I’m wearing the gold version of my Nuit Ring….
Going Ape Over Jacques Tiffeau
I had no particular interest in the gorilla-arm look recently shown by Balenciaga and Giles Deacon.

I figured I’d just share the the photos with y’all and remark on how there’s nothing new under the…
A Tip of the Top Hat
Those of you who like hair doodads and top hats should check out the Victoria & Albert museum shop. The top-hat hair clips are £8 and the bands are £12. If only 3D will do, BratBoutique sells mini top hats on Etsy. Separately, I tip my imaginary hat to TokyoBunnie for finding the cuteness that…
Buy Now, Wear Later
I’m digging this studded Ipanema tank top by Nine West. The studs look pretty matte in the picture. I’m not sure if they’re like that in real life, but I’m all about matte metal. Even if they’re shiny, the different shapes are interesting. The top is available for pre-order and will ship by June 1….
Christian Louboutin Recycles
I’m amused by the Christian Louboutin Barneys Trash Shoe. The Barneys website notes that each PVC-coated “couture trash peep toe pump” uses a “unique selection of Barneys’ materials” to create a one-of-a-kind design. The shoe is available at Barneys.com for $995.
Bill Cunningham Loves a Parade
I saw New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham aiming his camera at the St. Patrick’s Day parade-goers in midtown yesterday. Hopefully he was having better luck than I was, since I suddenly realized I didn’t have a memory card in my camera. The sighting was timely because I’d just read a profile of Cunningham, the…

Making Up in L.A.
Stephanie Daniel, the hair/makeup artist who did my Oscar-night look, was wearing kickass boots that evening. I had to take a picture. I didn’t get a good picture of the rest of her, which is unfortunate because she’s very beautiful. I’ve worked with Stephanie many times. One thing I enjoy about her, in addition to…

Gorgeous blogger Winona of Daddy Likey created her own tag called Show Us Your Blog Spot. I usually don’t bother posting the rules for tags, but I happen to like Winona’s, so here they are: 1. Once you are tagged, post a picture of where you blog. This might mean a picture of your cozy…
