Love the fin on the back and the beige strap across the instep. (I don’t own this shoe, am just sharing the picture.)

Topshop’s Ossie Clark Ripoff
I’ve mentioned before that Topshop has been using textile designer Celia Birtwell’s association with Ossie Clark to knock off the late designer’s work. To sum it up for those who didn’t read my previous post on the topic, Celia was married to Ossie back in the day. She designed the striking prints that were used…
Patrick Kelly Has Landed
I want to get more emails like the one I recently got from gorgeous client Melissa. She was so enthused about the leopard-spotted Patrick Kelly dress I posted about that she sniped it from eBay. Here’s Melissa showing off her new acquisition and looking mighty fierce. Melissa Leopard is lucky for me. Previously, I inspired…
It’s Like Deja Pseu All Over Again
On Sunday, I had the great pleasure of dining with gorgeous blogger Deja Pseu and her handsome husband Mr. Pseu. As you may recall, DP is the super-generous winner of the NieNie fundraising auction, and I was thrilled to be able to present her with her blue topaz earrings and specially engraved Diana necklace in…
This Pouch Read My Mind
I was just thinking along these lines. Anya Hindmarch makeup bag$195 at Vivre
Vintage Butt Bow, Plus Jackets
This vintage butt-bow dress is beautiful, isn’t it? ’60s gown$325 at Maire McLeod Speaking of bows, the New York Observer jumped on my bow bandwagon with this story. And speaking of bandwagons, you bloggers were months ahead of the designers and fashion media with your interest in band/military-style jackets. Bravo! Balmain is copying YOU! Here…
Vintage Moschino Picks of the Day
I like to keep an eye out for fun Moschino pieces on eBay. Check out this “emoticon” jacket. The same seller has a Moschino jacket with heart buttons that would be great for Valentine’s day…and other days too. If you bid on eBay, don’t forget to snipe! If you prefer the “buy it now” option,…
One That Got Away, Others That Didn’t
You win some, you lose some on eBay. Here’s one that got away. I should have bid higher for this caped Patrick Kelly jacket. It went for under $100. What was I thinking? I was thinking I have enough jackets, that’s what I was thinking! But I don’t have one like this. This auction was…
Curses!
Gorgeous blogger Moira of Dog Art Today cruelly sent me a link to an October 30 Christie’s auction of fabulous vintage clothing called Resurrection: Avant-Garde Fashion. Now I’m pining for numerous pieces that I’ll never have, including, but definitely not limited to: Stephen Sprouse Norma Kamali Norma Kamali Paco Rabanne Ossie Clark UPDATED TO ADD:…
These I Could Do
Slashed leggings are the latest fashion blogger must-have (look here, here, here and here), but I don’t think I’m going to go there. I’m (a) not a spring chicken and (b) don’t work at Conde Nast. Some styles demand at least one of those qualities. But these jeans I could do. Split-knee jeans$258 at OakSpotted…
