SILVER ON SILVER

I love anything metallic.  Well not just anything, but the right touch of silver, gold, pewter, bronze...I don't mind it mixed together or as a total statement or maybe just as a highlight.  Take for example this Thierry Mulger ultra sexy LunBD.  The pleated silver metallic is beautifully draped across the dress for a fantastic and fresh silhouette that reminds me of good old Hollywood 1930s glam but is short and sexy as is expected for a siren dress from the 1980s. 

So Silver is down with silver!

EAT YOUR BRUXELLES SPROUTS

There definitely has been a backpack moment brewing the last few years.  The kids are all wearing backpacks - be they vintage Chanel or monogram MCM.  However, if you march to a different drummer, maybe it's time to go Bruxelles chic and invest in Delvaux, a brand older than Hermes and certainly parallel in quality.  Delvaux had a store in LA on Sunset Blvd over twenty years ago that always had my interest but didn't last long on the strip.  People simply didn't know Delvaux's history (it was founded in 1829), but this bag  came from a sophisticated Angeleno who ventured to Delvaux and found this unusual backpack with straps connected to a brass ring and unusual wooden "pole".  One enters the bag via the zippered compartment, but there is also a nice outside pocket on the other side, too.  I like this bag because it doesn't look like anyone else's design.  Isn't that why we love vintage?  To have something that looks original!

Dayglow Denim Spells FUN FUN FUN!!!

The Thierry Mugler silhouette is unmistakable! The pronounced shoulder, cinched waist, and ample lapel reflect his ideal of a sexy, strong and powerful woman. The material is a very washed out, almost powder blue denim. The bottom of the jacket and the lapel are lined with dayglow yellow/green buttons, adding a fun futuristic vibe to the overall look of the piece.
