New No.6 clogs for Fall

Just launched on the No.6 site today.

House of style: was seriously my favorite thing ever

I used to have multiple VHS tapes with episodes of MTV's House of Style on them. My favorite episode featured Kate Moss as a cherubic teenager debuting in the fashion industry. After just watching the documentary on MTV that came out a couple days ago, I realized that I had more than a couple segments memorized: Naomi Campbell and her zit cream, John Galliano's first runway show, and Duran Duran shopping at Sears. 

Of course, more apparent were the perennial episodes not even mentioned! Liv Tyler back to school shopping and my favorite Kate Moss show in which she says that all she wants later in life is "babies, lots of babies" and how she didn't get to know Marky Mark when they did the Calvin ad together because "he had his posse there." They also failed to mentioned the entire grunge trend and how Marc Jacobs launched that with his line for Perry Ellis in 1993. And how the thrift shopping wasn't house of style being deferential to their midwestern audience's budget but had more to do with grunge. And that to find that grunge look, you had to go to a thrift store. Thrifting was the trend.

How funny that Sofia Coppola looks like she hasn't aged a day, not even one day. No fair.


Not sure what the "new" house of style will bring. I would like to like it but I am skeptical. Now I am waiting for a revival of the "FT" Fashion Television show on CNN that I also used to record on VHS.

Steven Alan handbags

it's hard not to lust after these... simple. and affordable. and VERY similar to that Sofia Coppola by LV bag that is so completely not affordable.

The Camilla bag is a doctor-style bag with a strap that is extendable. It is $425 and comes in black, tan and a great olive green with black trim.

The Adelaide bag is sort of like two small clutches together. I don't love the style but in the black/green combo with tan straps, it's nice. it's $395.

 The iPhone sling, as it's called, is only $85 and holds your phone plus some cash, cards and maybe keys. I really like how utilitarian it is.
