AMAZING News!!

Good morning friends!! ;)

I'm up late working/sketching/tweeting and I came across THIS!

Bebe has a very Balmain inspired leather jacket for a LOT less than the real deal. And unfortunately, a lot less than I got mine for. Oh well.

I actually love the bebe one- it's a lot less aggressive in the shoulder padding and if you wanted a little DIY project you could add the little dangly thingies yourself ;)

The Balmain jacket (HERE at Luisaviaroma) will set you back almost $10,000... yikes.

While the bebe jacket (HERE on bebe.com) is yours for under $200!

Is it just me or does the leather actually look better on the bebe one?? Weird, right? What do you guys think?? Great deal or no?

I have done my good deed for the day. Maybe now I can sleep.

The Best Jacket I've Ever Bought!

So a little late, but finally- here are some decent shots of my new favorite jacket EVER!!!

I got it in Hong Kong on my last trip and am considering asking it out on a date cause I think it's so dang hot.

Getting some wear out of my Jil Sander asymmetrical sandals before Fall...

And a better shot of the coral ring I got on the same trip.

I can't wait untill the weather cools down a little so I can live in this jacket. Swoon.

Christopher Kane for Topshop

Did you guys get anything?? Luckily I went on last night before stuff started selling out and got 2 dresses. If you haven't checked it out yet, go go go!

If I'm honest with myself, these dresses are a little pricey for Topshop, but I'm hoping that since it's a designer collection the quality will be up to par. Considering the fact that his dresses- like the ever amazing gorilla dress- will set you back about 3grand, I think it's great to have some more affordable versions for us normal folk.

His first collection for Topshop was his AW07 collection with a second sell out collection for AW08. This, his third and largest collaboration collection, is his favorite so far. What do you think? If you guys get anything, I wanna know!

Betsey Johnson Runway

I'm so bummed that I didn't just fly from China to New York! I decided to skip out on Fashion Week this year because of my long China trip. I figured I'd be super exhausted and I wouldn't have a good time.

Well, judging by all the tweets by fellow bloggers it seems like I really missed out on a good time. :( boooo.

Anyway, here are some of the runway shots from my first collection- Spring 2010

Were any of you there??? How was it? I am SO jealous! I'm living vicariously through all your tweets. Haha

Victoria Beckham Hairstyles

Victoria Beckham's hairstyles always make the headlines- especially if she has changed her look.

Victoria has changed her style over the last 5 years many times. She started out with long curly hair - that she got from wearing hair extensions. This was a crazy stage for awhile where everyone wanted to get extensions to look like Victoria.

Then she shattered all ideas about hairstyle by getting all her hair cut off short. She started with a long version of the inverted bob hairstyle. Her hair was longer in the front and shorter in the back with tons of layers and height in the crown area.

The inverted aka shattered bob then morphed into a short pixie hairstyle, much like that of Halle Berry. It does look cute, but the longer styles seem to make her small features look better. She is so tiny and skinny that the pixie hairstyle doesn't do her any favors. Check out the latest Victoria Beckham Hairstyles

Love and Shoes.

Ben and I went to our good friends Mark and Gigi's wedding and I was very pleasantly surprised at how many great shoes I saw! I became that creepy friend taking pictures of girls feet all night. Ha ha.

But seriously- Gigi is a very stylish girl, so I shouldn't have been surprised by all her cute friends. Gigi wore my favorite shoes of the night- nude Valentino d'orsay pumps with a big oversized bow. I was honored to hep her pick them out months before her big day. :)

She wore a beautiful vintage inspired knee length lace dress and she looked absolutely perfect!

(Paris Hilton knocked these off)

We had so much fun! Ben wore a Marc Jacobs seersucker suit and I wore a Diane Von Furstenberg dress and YSL shoes.

Here are some of my favorite shoes of the evening... Most of which are surpprisingly affordable!

I even saw a girl wearing a pair of Harajuku Lovers shoes. I was very excited!
