Last night’s show at The Gibson with J*DaVey was amazing! Wow, crowd was dope, although a couple party foulers wanted to ruin it for some of us, it was still an amazing time. J*DaVeY released a video for their newest single “Get Together”. Can I say I’m in love? You can download their newest mixtape here, with “Get Together” on it.

Louis Vuitton Raindrop Besace bag

pauline — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 18:30:43 +0000

This $3,000 is no joke, it’s really a Louis Vuitton bag. Louis Vuitton’s Raindrop Besace bag/purse is a waterproof draw-string bag that to us looks a lot like a designer trash bag with its detachable leather shoulder strap and goldtone hardware. It comes in gray and brown with the LV logo printed on the front. Really though, were baffled. Is this real? Thoughts?

Coming soon: Amy Winehouse Fashion Line

pauline — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 17:15:47 +0000

I mentioned almost a year ago that Amy Winehouse was to be rumored to be designing for some brands, and I hadn’t heard anything since….until now. Whether you like the chick or not, she does have an amazing voice and is very musically talented. I don’t know how talented she is in the fashion industry, since her fashion choices of old raggedy jeans, tank tops and ballet flats aren’t necessarily amazing. She is degining for British designer Fred Perry which is supposed to be out this October.

““Amy has been wearing Fred Perry for years, so we were aware she was a genuine fan of the brand,” Richard Martin, Fred Perry’s marketing director, told WWD. “Amy has a unique sense of style that reflects the brand’s own historical reference points.”

Yay or nay: Irregular Choice Floral Slouch Clog

pauline — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 16:30:52 +0000

It seems like Irregular Choice seems to be coming up in our Yay vs Nay posts alot, exactly for the reason that they are very irregular choices. With these though, I’m slight in between the feeling of disgust, and the feeling of wanting to just try them on to see how they feel. They are neither fug nor cute. What do yall think? $248 at Freepeople.

Oscar Fashion Picks

Fab Mrs Mini — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 01:39:32 +0000

I know many people have already posted their thoughts on what the stars wore to the Oscars last Sunday, but I had to get my two cents in as well. I thought the ladies this year really stepped it up for the most part. The dresses were glamorous, innovative, and, well, fabulous.

Here are my favorites from the night:

Sandra Bullock in Marchesa. The girl came dressed to win an Oscar. Simply stunning.

Maggie Gyllenhaal in Dries Van Noten. Fresh, fun, youthful, and most importantly: unique.

Rachel McAdams in Elie Saab. My absolute favorite of the night. So glamorous.

Zoe Saldana in Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci. A lot of people hated this dress, but I think it represents everything fashion: original, daring, jaw-dropping. There’s no doubt she took a risk, and I think it paid off.

Sarah Jessica Parker in Chanel. A lot of people hated this dress as well, but I think it’s a perfect SJP dress. Not many people can pull something like this off, but she does it. The color is amazing, and I loved her hair. (although it looked a little messy by the time she presented)

See most of the night’s fashion offerings here.

Valentino Sculpture Lace Pump

Fab Mrs Mini — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 01:05:39 +0000

What does a $4700 shoe look like? Apparently like this:

When I first came across these Valentino Sculpture Lace Pumps I was intrigued. But the closer I look at these I can’t help but think that they are just flat-out ugly. The floral applique looks like it was glued on by a first-grader. I really don’t understand why anyone would pay $4700 for these shoes. But, then again, I’m not filthy rich. I guess given the opportunity I could rock these, but I just don’t have any desire to…

Buy them here if you’re so inclined.

Jean-Charles de Castelbajac Fall 2010

pauline — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 20:31:05 +0000

There isn’t one piece from any Jean-Charles de Castelajac’s collection that I don’t like. Between the pirates, and the bambi’s- they are all amazing pieces of art as well as fashion. Some of these pieces remind me of hunting wear, disneyland uniforms, and stained glass dresses- which all equal amaziness. Um, those Bambi flats?!??! CAN I GET A PAIR, OR TWO!?

Cash vs Charge: Herve Leger Josephine One Shoulder Bandage Dress

pauline — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 20:20:27 +0000

These dresses are so similar, you can’t even tell which one is the designer Herve Leger dress, and which is the knock off. The beauty in fashion! The Herve Leger gold one shoulder dress was at $1690, but it is now sold out. No worries or tears, Express has a similar (pretty much the same thing) for $79,90.

Chanel Fall 2010

pauline — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 20:05:25 +0000

This collection looks like a mix between the abominable snowman, eskimo community and some shiz I can’t even go on to describe. Not all the pieces are as bad as the big fury costumes, and some of the furry go go boots are actually cute. I think the fur shorts put me over edge. Me being a total anti-fur activist, this kind of disgusts me. But when reading this on Style, I was slightly relieved:

“The Karl conceit of the season, no surprises, was an in-every-way extravagant play on Coco in cold weather. Using more fur than he’d even flung at Fendi—the twist being that here the fur was fake—Lagerfeld steered this collection nearer to couture than ready-to-wear than ever. Fur was woven into brown tweeds; formed deep pelmets on the lower half of leather jackets; became almost igloo-shaped capes, bonnets, even—for goodness’ sake—furry trousers. Meanwhile, the suit and coat combinations also had a level of lavish elaboration usually reserved for haute eveningwear. Fur-fringed embroideries and ice jewelry conspired to create intensely worked ruffled and beaded silhouettes that glinted with rock-crystal neckpieces and fistfuls of rings. Somewhere in there, a flash of translucent silver seemed to be a clutch in which the quilting of the CC classic bag had been frozen into the likeness of a refrigerator ice cube tray.”
