OCTOBER PART TWO

    Still in my "October Infatuation" phase, I came about creating this inspirational college by channeling a young Cruella Deville. Didn't you know that....

   ....before Cruella was a mean women who hated puppies, she was a peculiar girl who was fascinated with monochrome. Below are a few of her favorite things...

1. Eugenia Kim "Caterina 2" Beret
2. Helmut Lang "Noa Calf Trimmed Twill" Blazer
3. By Malene Birger "Quanna Monochrome" Gloves 
4. Valentino Wool Silk Blend Drill "Nappa" Collar Dress 
5. Saint Laurent "Lulu Richelieu" Black & White Babycat Cowhide 
6. Kenzo "EYE" Clutch
7. Kenneth Jay Lane "Lipstick" Brooch
8. Preen by Thornton Bregazzi "Flo" stretch-sateen jersey dress
9. Tom Binns Pearl Necklace with Safety Pins
10. Miu Miu "Noir" Round Sunnies
11. Kenneth Jay Lane "Leopard" Brooch
12. Saint Laurent "Signature Baby Doll With Claudine Collar in Black Tweed Lame"
13. Givenchy Calf Hair Oxfords 

SHEERFUL THINKING GOES ROCKIN'

    I'm sorry for the delay in posts--I've been terribly sick. Last week, I went to a glassjaw concert with my husband at the Echoplex in LA. It was our first time there--pretty neat venue except for the fact that whenever music was playing, it felt as though your insides were dancing. It's not the place to go if you're seeing a mosh-pit inducing band unless you like being smashed up against a wall and various men brushing up against you like they're huge, wet cats. We managed to get a few shots of my outfit before the doors opened. We just pulled in the red and starting shooting.
   Continuing my love affair with lingerie-turned-dresses, I wore my Ann Deulemeester slip with a Helmut Lang black tank dress underneath. (Helmut Lang is one of my favorite labels to shop for classic pieces.) I also wore my favorite pair of ankle boots by Balenciaga and my Botkier crossbody.  I brought along a Zara blazer I got on sale earlier this year. It's made of light fabric so it's really just for fun, not for warmth but it helps if you just need a little extra protection from air conditioning or breeze.
