predatory purple

if uban dictionary had illustrations for definitions, Lisa Rinna would serve as a perfect example for the cougar entry. that hair makes her look 20 years older.

I do love the purple gown, though...

matchy saturation

Adam Fall 09 RTW

I think the key to mixing colors successfully so you don't look like you got dressed in the dark is to choose hues with similar saturation.

hammer time or not to hammer time

I am intrigued by the harem pant trend. I am especially intiqued by the forgiving hip region. don't know if I'm going to try this trend yet, however, after looking at the sart's layered grey examples, I'm giving it a second thought...

the best sample sales on the net. bar none.

gilt has the best sample sales! it's invite only, however, stylethread readers are set up for invites here.

seriously - gorgeous designer goods and the prices are 70-90% off. no joke.

sales don't last for more than 24 hours, I think -- at the very least the pickings are slim for the best items after the first half hour, so you really have to act fast when the sales post at noon every day. some current sales include John Varvatos, Costello Tagliapietra, Bamford & Sons, and Bochic... Doo.Ri is coming up on the 17th, too.

I actually had to start directing the sale notices to an e-mail folder so I wouldn't see them in my inbox, unless by choice. one can go broke on good deals.

I dig this chick.

I dig her voice and I dig her style. To discuss Adele's Grammy look among others, go here.

c'mere, stud...

I love my studded leather belts. I think they feel Detroit by way of Europe to me. I have both silver and gold studded belts, but would love to have some studs in color.

the gray studded belt is on sale at hayden harnett right now for $125... maybe I should get it. I also like that they named it after CBGB. I wonder if they have an Omfug bag to go with it.

leather wearing vegan

so I've been eating vegan lately. however, I cannot imagine NOT wearing leather. Also, what am I supposed to do with all of my louboutin, gucci, dior, and fendi shoes and bags? I spent a lot of money on leather items, I'm sure as hell not selling them on ebay! and what about silk? I cannot abandon my hermes scarves! I posted this for discussion on the forums...

walking on a sweater

I am drawn to the Flocks Aran Rug, but I wonder what it would feel like to walk on a sweater...

I am loving grey and yellow for Spring. Chiara spotted a lovely window in Rome and I used it for a yellow and grey stitch for stylethread
