JUST ASKING: WHO LIKES THE ROW?






online - i was browsing though the latest issue of vogue china (kate moss on the cover = fierce!) and came across a gown by the row. as you may already know, the row is a label launched by millionaire (or billionaire?) twins, mary kate and ashley olsen. seeing the line credited in vogue china just prompted me to look up whats new with the collection. i found a good number of pieces from this label online at barneys.com. they all look painfully basic (exact replicas of the black skinny pants and peter shirt can be bought for a fraction of a fraction of the price at uniqlo) but somehow the pieces seem unique. the clothes have an air of being simply designed and exceedingly well-made. i've actually never seen the garments in person, yet i get the sense that they are the kinds of clothes one keeps for ages. in anycase, just pulled some photos of my favorite pieces from their spring collection.

A CHANEL BAG SO GOOD YOU CAN EAT IT



online - and that's literally. what you are looking at is not a cognac brown rich leather chanel 2.55, but a beef jerky chanel 2.55. yeah. beef jerky. so the bag you are looking at (sans the metal hardware of course) is actually edible. i spotted this on one of my favorite blogs, dlisted.com. michael k who writes it listed nancy wu as a source. wu is a designer, so i'm not sure if she actually put this artistic work together but whatevs. the point is this is absolutely brilliant. wonder what mademoiselle chanel or kaiser karl would think of it though....

MY TOP PICKS FROM SWAROVSKI!




online - the holidays are right around the corner and i'm so not bothered! but because i know at least one of you is, i've decided to repost my ultra-mini, super-skinny gift guide featuring cute 'lil swarovski gems i came across while surfing the web. now, what do yall think of swarovski? keep it funky! in the past, i've definitely written a cheeky blog post or two taking the piss out of the brand. i simply didn't get the concept or the price point. but oh, how times have changed! i still cringe at the price points, but i am really loving the concepts that this brand is putting forth. case it points these bright blingy baubles below. they are all available online now and make such cute presents for you, your boo, or your favorite blogger (hint, hint, wink, wink!) take a look and tell me what you think of my picks!





And for the big money:
