Today I had lunch with my friend Candice Sabatini. She and I have identical black patent Prada Gaufre bags. Here is a rather dark picture of the bags meeting at lunch. We left them together while we ate in the hopes that they would mate and produce a litter of wallets. I am obsessed with…

Paris Breakfasts
Carol at Paris Breakfasts is an artist and her blog is exceptionally beautiful. She featured one of my rings in a very colorful post. Don’t forget to check out the rest of her blog as well.
It’s the Surreal Thing
When I was in London a few months ago, I saw a terrific exhibit on surrealism at the V&A. They had some cute tromp l’oeil t-shirts in the gift shops. I got the one shown here for those days I want to feel like I’m in the cast of “Oliver!” I really wanted this one…
Latex Pants (And Pants That Just Look Like Latex)
Balenciaga’s ultra-expensive gold leggings seemed like a runway stunt, but shiny legs have crossed over into real-life wardrobes. It seemed to start with Kate Moss and Victoria Beckham.

A Stylish Evening in Oslo

I know Agathe’s readers can never get enough of her, so here she is with her fiance, taking a little rest during our nine-course meal. Kristoffer is fabulously fashionable himself — it’s…
Britney Spears stole my ring, y’all!
Run out and get the Britney’s Meltdown issue of OK! Magazine. Ms. Brit-Brit is wearing my Borgia ring on page 46. She helped herself to that ring and quite a few other items during the shoot. It’s always nice when someone appreciates my designs but I generally don’t like to offer customers a five-finger discount….
Just a placeholder
