electric feel

These ingenious lightbulb shoes from Chanel are cool as hell. Worn by Leigh Lezark. I'm off for a buying trip in a couple of hours 'til late Wednesday. Promise to be back with more goodies.

time out

Had a little time-out with the family this past week: visiting relatives and friends, paying respects to the dearly departed, asking for forgiveness and celebrating our blessings. Included was a much worrying consumption of carbs at these visits even though I tried portion control. Got sabotaged by the dessert platter. Time to make friends with the gym again.

supernova

"The girl is a little beat up, a little kind of grunge — she’s not perfect," Lazaro Hernandez tells The Cut. Animal prints run amok in novel, bold colors. Cocktail numbers in heavy embellishments. Short, sexy silhouettes. This is as close to perfection as it gets. Proenza Schouler Spring 2010.

fabulace

Seems like Lady Gaga, Amber Rose, and Rihanna are competing on the sickest eyewear in town. After donning the "Barracuda" in Jay-Z's Run This Town video, Rihanna goes a little romantic-goth in these stunning "Sioux" lace shades, also by A-Morir during New York Fashion Week. More subtle than the edgy Barracuda's, but still fierce. Fancy one? Get yours here.

disco pop

Green suede shoes if you're feeling frisky. Or dance all night long with the disco wedge. Bruno Frisoni Fall 2009 collection. Those platforms are a killer!

walk back in time

Luxury brand MCM may have planned a comeback with Joy Gryson for a collaborative line, MCM New York, but one should never forget the classics. These white vintage babies make solid travel sidekicks and are so fresh to death, the classic LV monograms would look so ordinary. Available at Fruition LV, a hot Vegas commodity that stocks vivid, palpable archive of history's most innovative and distinct street fashion labels like Ambush, Ghita, and Jeremy Scott.

striking posh

Victoria Beckham dishes about her life in the States, her views on fashion and her obsession with Gossip Girl in the October issue of Elle US. Say what you will about her Birkin collection or her fashion sense, you know she can work it. Don't hate, girlfriend!

opulent finish

Among other things that I'm currently lusting after is this luscious YSL "Arty" oval ring. Available in turquoise, coral, and electric blue, having one in each color would be too sweet.

Drive-in movies and more hours in a day.

back to basics

Perfect on its own or under a boyfriend blazer, these statement t-shirts from styleforstyleshop are hot! I personally like the "Idols", six names that shook the fashion world. Kinda like The Beatles one, only 10 times better.

sense & sensibility

One of my favorite collection for New York Fashion Week has to be Preen. Thornton and Bregazzi brought their Londoner sensibilities for Spring 2010 collection that was both romantic and refined. Sheer cutouts, hints of lace and gorgeous embellishments (where fabrics were knotted, crumpled and twisted in the upmost Preen way) paved the way in spot on colors.

a single man

We've heard it before. The former Gucci god simply wanted to make movies. Tom Ford made his directorial debut at the Venice film festival Friday, joining the fray for the coveted Golden Lion with his much anticipated film, "A Single Man". Starring Colin Firth, Julianne Moore and Matthew Goode, the film is a movie adaptation of Christopher Isherwood's 1964 novel, about a college professor struggling with the death of his long-time partner. The Times UK called it "a thing of heart-stopping beauty" and based on the trailer, I couldn't agree more.

the bionic man bridges the gap

Soon you're going to see a lot of people rocking white on whites. Gap is celebrating their 40th anniversary with an overseas pop-up shop on London's Carnaby Street and Pharrell WIlliams is on everyone's lips. The all-around creative musician has collaborated with the quintessential American brand for an eco-friendly capsule collection that includes a t-shirt, duffle bag, hoodies, khakis, and sneakers, all in solid white colorway. Word is, the fabric used for this hot produce (developed from recycled plastic bottles) is coming straight from his Bionic Yarn.

The Gap1969 concept store will also feature limited edition collaborations in the form of Pierre Hardy boots, Albertus Swanepoel accessories as well as original artwork by Parisian fashion illustrator and photographer Garance Dore.

Something to fool your mothers with if they get all skeptical when dressed in skulls. Alexander McQueen's silver-tone Pyramid poison ring would do the trick and solidify your rock-chic credentials. Available for $275 here.

Inspired by classic American sportswear, Alexander Wang's highly awaited Spring 2010 collection was a huge surprise. Expect sports-centric pieces like zippered "wrestling" boots and quilted leather shorts fit for the boxing ring. Team Wang has gone varsity sexy!
