Wedges are so hard to pull off. If the heel is too low, you give off a nursing home in Florida look. If they're too high, you're praying for every step you take. These, however, are just right!
I'm not big on Christmas, but Max Azria, you can put your Kuumba (creativity) to work and drop these in my Kwanzaa basket. I promise to love you eternally!
Hands down my favorite designer is Tom Ford. On Christmas day, he might also be added to the list of my favorite film directors. Ford is makes his directorial debut in A Single Man.
Starring Colin Firth, the film follows a gay English professor as he deals with the untimely death of his partner. Based in the 60s, I'm squealing at the thought of the amazing costume design! Besides Colin Firth winning the Best Actor award at the Venice Film Festival, A Single Man has also been thrown in the Oscar pot. Check out the trailer to hold you over until you see it.

American Apparel x nail laquer=ooohh eeemmm geee! I read about it first on Is Mental but I was convinced that I had to make the purchase after trying on all of the testers like a paint palette on my thumbs.
I got these three colors, Office (the Chanel-like green), Factory Grey and Passport Blue...plus "winter leggings" in black! Merry Christmas to meeee!

Erin Wasson has this careless way of dress. Two day old eyeliner, muddy shoes, shredded shirt defines her look which goes against what any decent girl should look like. Not even boho queen, Mary Kate dresses this haphazardly. But for Erin, she wouldn't look as good any other way.
In fact, I cringe when she cleans up for the red carpet. A steam gown on Erin? yuck!

Lauren Moffatt has me ready to put audacious paper mache bows in my hair and be a little more girlie. Maybe it's time for everyone to adopt a new look...she has. With Kate Lanphear on her team as the stylist of her Spring 2010 lookbook, her pieces look a lot fresher than her last couple of collections. The very pretty Moffatt designs paired with the pulled together and tough Lanphear aesthetic prove to be a winning combination. It's got my attention.

Be cute in circus-y ruffles even when your imaginary stuffed monster boyfriend ignores you.
Magazines always try to make a statement. All black issue...blackfaced models...now plus-size as if it's mainstream? Not quite as V magazine presents question over the acceptance of plus-sized models rather than inserting it as the norm.
Crystal Renn, the plus size model in this story, is actually a great model. Here though, she pales in comparison, seeming almost amateur next to standard zero-ish-sized, Jacquelyn Jablonski. The idea was a good one. The execution, not so great.

I wouldn't say that I'll shed a tear, it's not Chloe or YSL. God forbid! But Phi was a line, one that I admired and soon it'll be no more. The Spring 2010 collection will be it's last.
Phi CEO, Julia Hansen reported:
“It’s just very difficult to look forward with confidence against the opportunity in that market,” she said. “The realization is that for a smaller brand, it’s going to be a very challenging time even beyond 2010.”
Maybe we can rejoice over the sample/warehouse sale that will be coming up!

If this past weekend was an indication of what is to come for the rest of the winter, then I am definitely in need for some boots. Why not stay warm with style. These BAPE x Sorrel Boots are just what the doctor ordered.
Chay theGr8 and this CONSISTENTLY fresh fella.
The Diamond Headz event started off crowded and heavy with corporate folk from a double booked event. Peep my tweets:
But as long is Chay$ is there, more great people flock and good times are bound to be had. So the night got amazing really quick and early, lucky for me as I dipped on the decent side of the hour...

Do these looks remind you of someone? ....
Me, right?
I thought they were exactly what I would wear. The fur vest, the chunky shoe, the TURBAN! Style minds think alike.
The Jakarta-based line, Since Always breaks seasonal barriers with a 2009 collection. You know you wear your spring pieces in the winter anyway.
