A Holiday Look

Monday, December 14th, 2009

This look can take you from party to party in great style. The look works because you have something very sparkly together with very not sparkly somethings. Sparkly together with sparkly is tricky and almost never should be done.

» VINTAGE SEQUINED BLOUSE IN MY BOUTIQUE

The skinny jeans with the oversized mens jacket is a very non-chalant touch giving the look cool. The look: Dark denim skinny jeans, vintage sequined blouse (here in my boutique), a mens dark blue suit jacket, skinny brown belt (here in my boutique) and a pair of Rachel Comey high heeled boots. This is not a hard look to duplicate with success. Many of you probably have some of the elements of this look in your wardrobe making it a cost effective look as well.

A Whimsical Christmas Window

Monday, December 14th, 2009

I was walking down Greene st in Soho last night and became enchanted by this window. The boutique is KIKI DE MONTPARNASSE a sexy little lingerie and adult toy salon. Oooh la la! This is their holiday window and I love it!

What you are seeing here is a Victorian hoop skirt over lingerie. The hoop skirt is wrapped in small blue christmas lights – So clever.  Here is a nod to whoever did this window.
