Diane Kruger does Dandy

Okay, I was just bitching a few days ago to Jo about how I didn’t like Karl Lagerfeld as a photographer all that much. But, well, I do like this I must admit. Diane Kruger by Karl Lagerfeld for German Vogue March 2010:

‘Beautifully Made’ in Rake Magazine

Here is an editorial entitled “Beautifully Made”, shot by photographer Derrick Santini in Tuscany, for Rake Magazine. The magazine’s bi-line is “The Modern Voice of Classic Men’s Elegance,” sounds good to me! They have a few articles archived on the website. Here are a few that swing lads might be interested in:

Puttin’ on the Ritz: An Introduction to Formal Wear

Miles Ahead: The Style of Miles Davis

The Swordsman: Errol Flynn

Otherwise, enjoy this sexy, well-tailored re-imagining of the mafia in southern Italy…

Louboutin, oh Louboutin!

Jo and I have been toying with the idea of buying Louboutin heels at LouboutinSale.com (one of the adverts that keeps popping up to tempt us on Facebook – damn Google and their smart targeted marketing!). These are my favourites on the site, all for less than $200! So cheap, are they knock-offs? Look like the real deal, I do wonder. Love that signature red sole! I mean, I spend $100-$200 a pop on dance shoes, would it really be so bad? Not that I could dance in these killer heels… oh, swoon, I want them! What do you think ladies?
