Baroque'n'Roll

Balmain's Fall 2010 collection screams rock'n'roll royalty.  Decarnin, moving away from the military inspiration (finally), takes a grander, richer approach this season, using deep jewel tones & luxe metallic brocades.  If Fall 09 brought us Holographic Hendrix and Spring 10 was all about Grungy Sgt. Pepper, then I'm going with a 17th century Mick Jagger for Fall 2010. And what's sexier or more purely rock'n'roll then Mick Jagger!? PS: The gold brocade coat is breaking my heart...

Mucha Love

Taking the awesomeness of Czech art nouveau artist, Alphonse Mucha, to another level.  Mucha's "Ete" is going on my side when I finally have the funds.

File Under Hilari-tee: No Star

This one makes me laugh...& yet, I feel so inspired.

Check out more No Star tees at NoStarClothing.com.

Witty. Sarcastic. Crass at times.  If anything, they'll make you smile.

Queen of the Stone Age

Jewelry designer Liz Larios creates beautiful, eclectic, strong pieces - reflections of the women who raised her.  The native Californian mixes fine-plated metals, semi-precious stones, and found objects, resulting in a statement collection that's deceptively versatile.  Add edge to a sexy LBD with one of her incredible necklaces or sport that same piece during the day with a simple t-shirt and jeans.  I'm lovin the leather cuffs and had to resist blowing the month's grocery $$ when I first met the designer at a Boutiquing.com event in Little Italy.  And that turquoise...damn...anyone who knows me, KNOWS how I feel about turquoise. Basically...I want it all.
