The gorgeous songstress known as Lana Del Rey has done it again with an amazing cover by GQ UK. Naked.
Guys, you can thank me later for this.
Oh, there’s more. She was also voted ‘Woman of the Year’, which I fully endorse. Rocky that cover redhead. You make ginger’s proud.
I’m focusing on most things fashion this week because of Spring/Summer 2012/2013 season. Nice excuse to have.
As my readers know I am big on promoting emerging designers and I LOVE then succeed. Unfortunately I never get clothes but I pimp them anyway.
This week I am pleased to say the illustrious diva designer Kami Shade is in the spotlight with a very cool editorial in Facade Magazine.
Not only am I super proud to see miss thing get a great editorial but the clothes, oh the dresses make me want to cry and empty my bank account.
Check it out
Love this look. Super Hollywood glamour.
Think that is all there is to this collection? You are very much mistaken darlings. Go peruse the Kami Shade store below by clicking the hottie in the swimsuit.
She does custom order if you don’t see your size or have something special in mind. Happy shopping!
As New York Fashion Week is almost upon us and Fall is nipping at our heels, it is time to look at what the runways brought us and what trends to follow and wear.
Whether deliciously conservative or madly daring, Herve Leger is a fashion design god that makes clothing for every woman. His creativity is endless and designs every mutating and changing leaving knock offs to the obvious fakers. Those who read (and write) this blog know not to crumble and buy anything but the real deal.
I present you with an entire gallery of nothing but….Herve Leger’s 2012 Fall Collection for the ethereal goddess in you.
These last three pieces in his collection were too stunning not to share. Look’s like monsieur Leger is spreading his fashion wings.
The shape and length make this an evening gown worthy of a night at the Met.
This white gown however broke me, too beautiful for words
This however I love and is totally wearable with everything. I never thought I would say I loved a fringed leather jacket but this inspires and delights me.
Want to shop the collection?
Unfortunately it is only available for pre-order but you can still buy what you want and get a fab gift in the mail when they hit the market by going here;

Happy shopping my fashionable dears.
I am starting to love V Magazine. First Fassbender and Theron in the uber sex photo shoot. Now Mario Testino is working with them to bring us Nicole Kidman in ‘Truth or Bare’;
Damn! Darling Nikki has bootie and she is rocking it. Check out the editorial shoot video;
Smoking Hot! I didn’t think Nicole ‘botox’ Kidman had it in her to work the camera. Or even move her face.
Bitch worked it out like a super star. Not only that but she took the classic dead girl pose and made it come to life with a RED HOT lingerie shoot.
I admit that my only issue with this shoot is she looks a little trashy. As Michael K of DListed.com says, and I quote,”Nicole Kidman looks like third tier hooker straight from the Jem! universe.”
I hate that he’s right.
All of that aside, Mario Testino shots are always above par and truly stunning. Want to see they rest?

Or these photos;
Every woman and gay man I know just drooled and rolled their eyes into the back of their head for one fabulous reason a la H&M. David Beckham, in underwear.
I want to thank my gays at Towelroad.com for making me aware of this. My Saturday is now complete. So is yours. Gaze upon the beauty that is Beck’s in underthings.
Thanks to H&M for bringing this delish dish campaign. I not only like your clothes but you give me fabulous things to admire on Saturday night.
People seem to enjoy hating on LA.
We have been pegged as a soulless society of plastic people in tinsel town. That is why I LOVE proving the outside world W-R-O-N-G.
LA is a cool town, with too much to do. We thrive in culture, artistry with a neo-futuristic background to live in reminiscent of ‘Metropolis’. We have underground culture an are the bringer’s of new, not old.
Case in point I bring you Leveled Magazine & Den.m Bar’s Wednesday social at the Hive Gallery in DTLA.
Let me explain a little about the cool cats who ran this, starting with Leveled Magazine;
Their Mission; Bringing the culture of Los Angeles (and the world) to your brain. With everything from epic editorials to fierce fashion these guys have won me over. I get sick of ‘genre’ magazines that cover one maybe two things.
This month’s issue includes a Beautiful spread on Audrey Kitching and a weird editorial article & photo shoot with stars like Bobcat Goldthwait and Kathy Griffin.
Let’s take it a step further for the fashionably aware out there.
Los Angeles hippest custom denim company Den.m.Bar was repping this too. Den.M Bar for those not in the know is best described as a couture jeans company. Walk in and pick from a huge line of custom denim creating a jean for yourself that includes picking out your own zippers, pocket cloth and even thread. Custom is the 21st century ultimate couture and now it’s accessible.
Angelenos are notoriously picky ranging from food to clothing despite our casual looking lifestyle. Which is why I only go to events like this. With fashion, culture, and an open bar. Yes, Leveled Magazine had drinks mixing voddy with One Coconut Water or ever lovely Honest Tea. There was even fizzy Kombucha from the fab people at Health-ade.
Now you have a perfect evening. I even have the pictures below to prove it.
Check out the gallery below
Seem’s LA culture is alive and well. Perhaps the whiners out there will reel in the snotty comments on how LA ‘has no culture;.
Let’s face it kittens. When we do it, we do it right and with a BANG. LA’s luxe crowd never looked so cool in 100 degree weather.

I happened across this video thanks to the amazing people at Models.com (subscribe!). It is a gorgeous fashion film with Ginta Lapin wearing nothing but AZZEDINE ALAIA. So perfect it literally made my afternoon better.
The little info I know about the directors is it was done by Santiago & Mauricio. Whoever you are, Que Bella!
Recently I wrote a rather scathing piece on Hathaway/Catwoman and the Dark Knights choices for her horrible jumpsuit.
There may be a lighter side to the costuming in the Dark Knight.
I STILL have no love for Hathaway as Catwoman, or her costume with the mini ears. I loathe her lack of sex appeal and appreciate he was doing her best. I did however read an interview with the costume designer.
Turns out when lovely Anne was working the crazy as Selena Kyle her wardrobe was, thankfully, styled by a fashion mogul and mastermind. Thierry Mugler.
In case you are unfamiliar with Mugler, he ruled couture in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. He did all the costuming for George Michael’s ‘Too Funky’ video, has worked with the top supermodels in the world, was in the movie Pret-A-Porter and made pieces of costuming/fashion like this.
And then he stopped making fashion.
Now his Jewelry and Perfume collection are the only things to be found. However every once in a while a semi-retired genius will come out of his shell to create. ‘Dark Knight’ snagged Mugler who styled Anne as Selena Kyle’s outfits. HIS style came out looking like this;
I am pleased to see that Thierry has not lost his touch in creating magnificence. Sexy, scintillating, cat-like and very not Anne Hathaway this is magnificent. I only hope someone see’s this and sticks it in a high fashion magazine (Vogue Italia I’m talking to you).
Bravo! Ce Magnifique Monsieur Mugler. You just saved my opinion of the Dark Knight and Anne Hathaway as a model.
As August set’s in, it is time to start shopping for your fabulous and very luxe wardrobe. As I spoke of before fur covered everything is all the rage and DKNY has already released its first set of ‘hair’ inspired accessories. Add ‘Apocalypse Now’ weather in New York City and winter is looking extra tough.
The question raises well-groomed eyebrows everywhere. What to do, and where to shop?
Idra Alta Moda darling!
I know I have sung their praises before. Now that I have met and spoken with the owner, Jessica Soifer, I am in LOVE. This company devastates me, along with their jackets, capes, ear muffs, etc.
Feeling the need for classy, sexy, furry? You can even shop for your hunny with their MENSWEAR LINE (gasp)! Check out their Fall/Winter 2012 lookbook;
Like what you see? So do I!
I am literally ‘In Love’. That last jacket WILL be mine.
I love these. All these looks are classically inspired and can be worn with anything. A night at the Met or heading out to get drunk with drag queens.
For a truly metropolitan and/or continental look these sleek jackets are perfect for LA/NY/Paris. Too sleek and sexy for words is the well named, ‘Collezione’ by Idra Alta Moda.
I am terribly sorry if the gorgeous, fabulous and well-dressed men are feeling left out. I haven’t been blogging men’s fashion. Thank goodness for small and well thought out fashion collections, Idra Alta Moda has you covered.
For the man who dresses better than I do.
Last but hardly least Idra Alta Moda do custom wear as well as accessories.What about this fierce purse?! I am adding this to my collection for winter.
Idra Alta Moda is indeed a collection to watch and covet.
They are taking over the Fall/Winter 2012 fashion fur/leather scene. If you have met the owner, possibly the world. (Word is she is secretly in cahoots with Adolfo Sanchez in LA and a Russian designer who makes out-of-this-world clothing. More on that later)
Follow them on Twitter at @IdraAltaModa and owner @Ima_Soifer

What are you waiting. If you live in New York you could be pelted with hail or a blizzard in 3…2…1
Get Fashionable!
Yes it’s that time of year where start looking forward to next year’s trends. What colors, designs, materials and of course, how many pounds we have to lose to fit into those new fashions . Well i bring you the entire collection of Eclairee Swimmer.
Time to get bathing beauty pretty ladies, looks like in 2013 skin is in, and so is colorblocking. This trend surfaced in SS 2011 and has been going strong ever since. Thankfully this next year will be more about neutral colors and not so many nasty pastels. Here’s hoping the rest of my fashion week forecast is this positive.
Happy shopping!
I thought today I would enlighten you with a forgotten 80’s moment.
Who remembers the awesomeness of ‘Taco’? Yeah I thought so.
Here’s a refresher of what you missed in the 80’s and how weird and may be cool it was.
Hope your weekend is as cool as this ‘Taco’s, Puttin on the Ritz’. Full version of course.
Sorry I have been a non-blogger kittens. I hate missing out on the good stuff and I promise to update over the next day or so.
In order to make up for my blogging lack there of, I am bringing you good news from the land of West Hollywood or the evil known as, ‘The West Hollywood Gateway’.
Today as I flew around town doing a million errands I landed in ‘Ulta’, West Hollywood.
I can give you a million excuses. I’m a terrible beauty product slut and of course the #1 reason….I’m a girl.
Thankfully for once I come with great news that won’t break your bank account. At this moment this particular Ulta is undergoing a refurb in the middle of the store. Since it makes shopping there ‘inconvenient’ they have marked a ton of stuff down and are using this as a reason to have major ‘clearance sale’.
Oh hallelujah, and praise the Gods of Ulta. Although the discount is trickily stuck in the cheaper aisles to the far left, it’s there if you are willing to look.
I even scored a cheap indulgence for even cheaper than normal.
– Normally around $5-10, Right now it’s priced at $2.50
This bath/shower gel is nice, light and leaves you smelling great. It’s even ok for sensitive skin and doesn’t upset people with perfume allergies.
Get your bootie out the door kittens. Ulta West Hollywood is usually open until 9pm, 7 days a week.
Looks like this will last just long enough, you can get your make up and body freak on for cheap. Now that’s something everyone can love.
Every time I see a mascara commercial on TV I can’t help mumbling under my breath. I believe it’s something along,” Grumble, so fake, as if.”
Having first hand knowledge of lash extensions and fake eyelashes really seals the deal and get’s me cursing. How the hell do they expect me to believe my lashes will look like this;
and that it will leave me feeling like this?
When all it does is clump, run, make a mess and make me look like a racoon.
Let’s face it. Unless you wear falsies (eyelashes not the other kind), or get the professional eyelash extensions everything falls flat. Not to mention always turns into a clumpy mess despite their promises not to.
Never fear! I have found the answer. And it will be good, for everyone.
It’s called, very appropriately, “They’re Real!”
Besides Benefit Cosmetics amazing ad for this it actually works. This mascara has a great brush that has NEVER clumped on me.
I am used to trying everything and anything. As both a wearer of false lashes and extensions I was surprised. I am so used to getting a nasty, gooky, stuck together brush halfway through my mascara this was refreshing.
The other thing that got me? The blurb on their webpage is true! *GASP*
they’re real! mascara~What else you need to know:
94% saw dramatic length & volume*
90% saw base-to-tip curl*
94% saw visible lift*
100% saw long-wearing results*
After using the mini one I got as a bonus at Sephora (check the bottom of the page for links), it did ACTUALLY make my lashes longer. No I am not being PAID for this. This is all me sharing something too fabulous. (If anyone at Benefit should see this, you should send me a case, I love this stuff)
I have been using this for about 3-6 months now and the volume and length of my lashes is now over a quarter-inch and I no longer wear false lashes unless I am shooting or hitting the red carpet.
It is fiercely waterproof so invest in make up remover wipes or it won’t come off. After a shower I look like Tammi Faye Baker or a Kardashian post fake cry, if I don’t clean it off.
WEAR TO FIND IT:
Sephora!!
They have a small mini for $10 to try,
and it’s $22 for regular size
And of course there is the illustrious ‘Benefit Cosmetics’. You can find ‘They’re Real’ HERE:
Go get your eyelash freak on ladies. The ultimate mascara is here and yes, it’s real.
Herve Leger comes at us with a powerful collection for Pre-Fall 2012.
Labeled the ‘Power of Seduction’ it brings deep hues of mustard, red’s and blue’s with new styles that branch beyond just a Bandage dress. Particularly the ombre dresses and his ‘Clio Bandage dress with detailing’ in his bandage dresses.
A sexy deviation, Herve Leger has brought a fresh new style into his collection. The ‘Paz leather pant. By showing off his design skills, here truly has shown that ‘Leger’ has the power of seduction.
