Happy Saturday!
Our boys won the hockey game last night against Slovakia, and Tommy Ton of Jak & Jil took a picture of these divine Prada platform shoes. So despite the sore throat I woke up with this morning, it’s a Happy Saturday, after all! xo Haute Hippie
Giorgio for Gaga.
Lady Gaga is getting set to go on her Monster’s Ball tour, and the only and only Giorgio Armani has designed an onstage outfit for her. The very Gaga-esque bodysuit is made entirely of blue sequins and comes with matching sunnies (and a very, very high leg cut). Armani’s sketch of the ensemble is so cool looking, I wanted to make it my Facebook profile picture, then realized my first...
Shear(ling) Delight.
Shearling often reminds me of Ugg boots, that latter of which I stay far, far away from. (Yes, I know how comfy they are, but I just can’t bring myself to love how they look. Apparently I’m shallow like that.) Leave it to Christopher Bailey of Burberry to make me change my tune about shearling by sending his London Fashion Week Fall 2010 RTW models in a variety of long, cropped,...
Pop Yo' Collar.
Everything about this outfit is en pointe and screams to be imitated. There is so much going on here, yet it all comes together in the end: hooded jacket with a huge popped collar (by far the piece de resistance of this ensemble), collared button-up, striped multi-color skirt, green tights, green vintage bag, vintage sunglasses, knit cardigan and red lipstick. Almost sounds like some sort of...
Anna Dello Russo.
I want to meet Anna Dello Russo, the fashion director for Vogue Nippon. Swear the woman never wears the same thing twice. AND she’s wearing those Louis Vuitton bunny ears — you know the ones Madonna wore on the red carpet to the last Met gala — for this NY Mag interview. I heart ADR! I’m Lovin’ it: I’ll admit, Proenza Schouler wasn’t a label that I...
Two Catens, One Haute Hippie.
DSquared2. Me. Sandwiched in between the label’s designers Dean and Dan Caten for a recent event at Holt Renfrew, debuting their limited-edition Olympic fleece hoodies for guys and gals. Don’t usually show my mug, but was so excited to meet them. Yay! They’re the most smiley duo I’ve ever met. It’s nice to know that some of the industry’s biggest designers are...
LV Love.
This city is still packed to the gills with people enjoying the Olympics festivities and spirit. I know New York Fashion Week Fall ‘10 RTW is going on right now — and I really should be concentrating on the collections being shown out there! — but I can’t help but be glued to the television and computer screen, getting updates on competitions and medal standings....
Rest In Peace, Alexander McQueen.
There are no words that can possibly fully express how I feel today upon learning about the death of fashion’s “enfant terrible”, Alexander McQueen. The British designer’s untimely death — from an apparent suicide — comes not too long after the tech-savvy presentation of his mind-blowing Spring 2010 collection and just as New York Fashion Week has kicked off on...
Winter 2010 Olympics Madness.
I’m a little lacking in my posts for the past couple of days, but it’s honestly been madness in my little world! The Winter 2010 Olympics are here, and the city is buzzing with an incredible energy that I haven’t seen before. Walking around downtown is such a trip: people from all over the world are here on our streets, speaking in fabulous foreign languages and bringing a bit...
Happy Friday! Bamjamz.
My bedtime staples include the following: a good brush of the teeth, minty wax floss, Chantecaille’s Rose and Geranium face wash, Bliss toner and either my birthday suit or my Steven Alan rainbow bloomer shorts. There’s no need to wear a ton of clothes in order to count fictitious sheep, right?! I might be changing my mind, though, after learning my good buddy Pons-arelli did the...
Tattoo Time.
I never thought I’d say this, but I’ve been heavily contemplating getting a tattoo. It’s something I’ve added to my bucket list recently. Of course, I’m not looking for dragons and flames and tramp stamps and suns and fairies and flowers. I’m looking for something that has a significant meaning to me. It’ll be small and well-placed — I’m...
Two One Two.
My boys Anthony Castro and Scott Walhovd, the duo behind Vancouver and New York-based line 212, have Spring/Summer 2010 ready to go and, man, does it look good. They, like many others in fashion, jumped on the blue hue bandwagon with the Terry Snap Front Silk Print Top and Alice Gathered Silk Mini Skirt (paired together), both of which I pretty much need to make mine right now (dialing the...
Singin' The Blues.
Pantone named Turquoise to be their color of 2010, because it “transports us to an exciting, tropical paradise while offering a sense of protection and healing in stressful times.” Adds Leatrice Eiseman of the Pantone Color Institute, “It is believed to be a protective talisman, a color of deep compassion and healing, and a color of faith and truth, inspired by water and sky. Through...
