I’ve been preoccupied with these Desert High 3 boot by Acne even since I saw Tommy Ton of JakandJil wearing them. I mentioned that I was all over this lepoard print right now. Tommy just looked at me, smiled and said, “It’s because of Dries“.
You can purchase these boots at the Acne online Men’s shop.

Let’s remember one of the greats and watch the Alexander McQueen Fall Winter 2004 – 2005 fashion show.
The Diego Suede Studded Bucket Bag by Alexander Wang is my ultimate Spring Summer 2010 Bucket Bag. I was playing with it at Holt Renfrew and fell in lust with this bag. The hardware is beautiful and it’s pretty heavy and solid. I appreciate the masculine qualities of Alexander Wang handbags. My aversion to animal print is slowly being broken down. I love that there is a short and long strap for the bag.
You can purchase this bag at Holt Renfrew or online at shopbop.com.
Derek Blasberg was at The Room to promote his best selling book, Classy, Exceptional Advice for the Extremely Modern Lady
If you’ve ever wondered how to climb the social ladder with grace, how to feel confident in every situation, or even how to make a lasting impression (but not the kind that lands you on the latest “Worst Dressed Listâ€)—Derek Blasberg is here, with quotes and secrets from all the socialites so girls everywhere can learn how to have class.
This hilarious handbook will provide everything you need to know about fashion, socializing, dating, and etiquette. With tons of practical tips and tools for learning to flaunt what you’ve got, dozens of specific how-tos, common no-nos, and huge blunders that even smart girls make, this tongue-in-cheek book will train you to be a lady, and not a tramp!
The people watching at the party was very interesting. There were a lot of scenester kids around dressed to the nines. I love that. They make fashion fun and I’m glad someone is there to take it seriously because I’m lazy in that regard. I came to the party from the office and had those restrictions. I obsessed over Jeremy Laing’s assistant, Sarah. She was wearing one of the pieces from the Fall Winter 2010 – 2010 collection and it looked stunning on her. She is the only girl I know that can fully rock the orange Prada-esque lipstick.
Suzanne Rogers approached me as I was waiting for Derek to get a photo and say hi. She knew my name (we’ve met once and I’m really sure she didn’t remember) and said she was a fan of I want – I got. Needless to say I was in complete shock. I had no idea I was on the radar of socialites. It was pretty special because I’m a Suzanne Rogers fangirl.
Derek was very sweet. He signed my book and took a photo. He worked the room like no one’s business and spoke to everyone there. It was really amazing to watch. Towards the end of the night, Derek took one of his photo heads and placed it on Jason’s drawing, it was hilarious. It was a fun little event and thanks to The Room for providing copies of Classy for all the attendees. I haven’t read mine yet, but it looks like a fun little book.
Twitter was all a flutter over the newly released Proenza Schouler Pre Fall 2010 Accessories. I was wondering what all the hubbub was about and then I saw the collection.
I’m not usually one to like fur on shoes but I like the restraint used with the first two shoes pictured. It does seem a little weird to be selling fur lined sandals for pre-fall though. The shoes are really inventive and I’m loving the green creeper/Dr. Martens influenced shoe. The handbags are to die for. Totally classic and ladylike.

There is no reason why I should be paying attention to the Jean Low Cut Western Boots by Acne. None at all.
However, the magenta colour keeps calling. How can you resist magenta boots? I know I can’t and hence why they are here.
You can purchase these online at the Acne Shop.

The Fall Winter 2010 – 2011 ad campaign from Givenchy is totally amazing. I love the colour and composition. The cast of models is what makes this so much fun. Yay for the diverse group. Of course I’m happy because Mariacarla Boscono is making an appearance too.
Complicit looks, and the promise of a kiss between two women: an ambiguous mix of masculine and feminine looks against hues of red, blue, white, grey and beige: the Givenchy campaign for F-W 2010-2011, photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot in Paris.
Sophisticated images against a provocative background. In the forefront, the collection designed by Riccardo Tisci. What has people talking — and caused the images to make the rounds of the web even before the campaign has been officially published — is the presence of Lea T: ex-assistant of Tisci, currently a student of veterinary medicine, ex-model and transexual.
Tisci wanted to use her “for her fragile appearance and her aristocratic air.” Together with Lea T are the models Maria Carla Boscono — a close friend of Tisci’s — and Malgosia Bela, Catherine McNeil, Joan Smalls, Ming Xee and Jamie Bochert. The featured male beauties are Jonathan Marquez, Paolo Rolden, Simon Nessman and Willy Cartier.(source)
Toronto boy Paolo Roldan is one of the Givenchy boys, expect to see him get very big soon. He was nude in the June/July 2010 issue of Paris Vogue.

Winston is a cute little dog that I’ve gotten to know recently. I took some great photos of him with the Olympus E-PL1 and I wanted to share. He’s so damn adorable.
He also has the cutest dog butt you’ll ever see.
