Marc Jacobs started his show over two hours late. At least this time there was ventilation, so I didn’t sweat all over my Ossie Clark dress. Due to camera problems, I missed a good shot of Posh Beckham aka Victoria Spice. Fortunately, fashion reporter Cheryl Tan was willing to do her best Posh imitation. Cheryl,…

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…
New at Topshop
Of the Kate Moss pieces available at this moment on Topshop.com, I like this tweed jacket the most. I’d have to see it personally to decide if it was worth 75 pounds. This grey cashmere sweater is also cute, but again, 65 pounds seems like a lot for what I think of as Topshop quality….
Maid in Manhattan?
I haven’t worn gloves for years. I prefer to stuff my hands in my pockets and complain about the cold weather. But when I found these woolly fingerless gloves in Bergen, Norway, this summer, I was in love. Then, two days ago, I was on Madison Avenue and walked by Sermoneta Gloves. The brightly colored…
Luscious Leather
Isn’t this leather mini-trench by S.W.O.R.D. beautiful? I love it but I definitely can’t get it. I have too many coats and jackets as it is. Here is the back view (in a different color). It’s available at blaec.com. I’ve never bought anything from the site but I like to browse its interesting collection (even…

A few random things: Thank you to Shannon at Jewelry Division Public Relations blog, who said some nice things about my work. Check it out! I am so entertained by If I Blog It They Will Come. This is a must-see! Almost as thrilling as the J-Lo Kiss My Ass video. Thanks to the Manolo…
A Hairy Situation
A pretty ponytail, via New Forest National Park‘s website The New York Times has a story about charities such as Locks of Love, which makes wigs for kids suffering from hair loss for medical reasons. The actress Diane Lane cut her hair for Locks of Love on live television. It’s all the rage to get…
Zang With a Z
Tonight my husband and I saw Zang Toi‘s spring line at a fundraiser Zang held for the Lance Armstrong Foundation. We saw both singer Patti LaBelle and DJ drag queen Lady Bunny there. Who is the greater diva? I would have liked to see them wrestle for the title. Maybe next season! The theme for…
