Category — I LOVE PURPLE

Totally in love with this extremely sexy pair of knickers for Spring 08 from my absolute favorite, Kiki De Montparnasse, that I wouldn’t mind picking up. It looks as if I can totally pair my garter tank with this too! But seriously, ruffles have NEVER been my thing but once you color them purple + place them on some seriously unfuckwithable lingerie, well… I’m hooked. The big (massive) OK from the boyf doesn’t hurt either but how could he not love these?

Now that I finally have a few hours to fuck around on here uninterrupted, I can now cover some of the menswear I’ve been neglecting over the last week before the couture shows start trickling in. Ann Demeulemeester is obviously one of, it not my favorite designers. Her collections are always in my eyes flawless and she can really do no wrong, as long as she sticks to the RNR aesthetic and I don’t think that will ever become an issue so here we go. Viewing all the men, I pictured my fiance in each of the looks to really help me determine what my favorites were. As per usual I loved all the leather and black and this go round, I adore her for the use of purple (my total favorite color), although I don’t think my old man would ever wear it (but I’ll bet Patti Smith would wear all of it…….). My favorite part of all of this is that she said she was so inspired by Dylan’s "Knockin on Heaven’s Door" for this collection (LOVE THIS!!!) and then went on to play countless covers of the song by Patti & plenty of others (the song has been covered so much it hurts) throughout the show.

Very excited to say I got the purple satin Proper Vans I’ve been talking about non-stop!! I paid a little bit more for them than I would normally but once I saw them I knew had to have them.

Can we talk about how amazing Jen Brill looked photographed on the Sartorialist? Those YSL heels and that coat are completely amazing! Those jeans are perfect and are totally bringing it from a night out look to an incredible if you don’t know her you’d surely wish you did, thrown together at 7am look. Because really, she needn’t try hard to look this good.

so Vans has teamed up with the shop Proper in Long Beach, CA for 3 pairs of Sk8-Hi sneakers done in satin (at least the sides & tongue are satin)! i’m so glad they did one in purple! they should be released in the very near future so keep your eyes peeled as they’re only going to be available at the store and (hopefully?!) online . the price is $85 which is really only like $20 more than the usual pair so i’m glad they didn’t get craze with the pricing, my Luella Vans weren’t that outrageous either.
