GAHHHH!!! I think I NEED a pair of these in my life! My buddy Nicole from Boston got a pair of these for her birthday and I fell in love instantly. I think some of the Canadians were wearing these at ILHC as well! Aren’t they fabulous! I’ve included links below so you can buy yourself a pair.

Ooh Dita

Sharon — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 22:22:50 +0000

I just signed up for Dita’s mailing list, since after posting a few pics of her the other day, it occurred to me that I would like to see her perform live more often, and maybe her mailing list had her tour schedule in it. So anyway, I’m on the list now, and ooh err, the emails you get are full of pretty pictures! Here’s a few that have glided into my inbox…

A few 1930s dresses…

Catching up on Christian Dior: Fall 2010

Just three picks from the Dior Fall 2010 show…

Joan, oh Joan

Sharon — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 08:09:38 +0000

I’m watching Mad Men season 3 via iTunes right now, and Joan Holloway (now Joan Harris, I suppose) never ceases to astound me with her out-of-this-world beauty. Partly down to the natural va-va voom of actress Christina Hendricks, but equally to Mad Men’s costume, hair and makeup department. Actually, I haven’t really seen any photos of Christina Hendricks on the red carpet that I liked overly much. The late 50s, early 60s silhouette suits her body shape so well (those curves, for god’s sake!), but frankly modern styles make her look chubby. If only she would just have the Mad Men stylists dress her for the galas as well! Ah, maybe I’m just too attached to the character…

A few picks from Christian Dior Resort 2011

Lena Hoschek’s Spring/Summer 2010 Collection

Sharon — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 07:28:53 +0000

Snaps of Austrian label Lena Hoschek’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection, with photos from the press release and the new catalogue. A Honolulu vibe with tropical florals and Elvis motifs, and the catalogue has a real Cuban feel – love the natural beauty of her models. Her trademark fishtail skirts are in there, with the new season fabrics. And I love that circle-skirt trench coat! Get it at: lenahoschek.com.

Dior Goes Back in Time for Pre-Fall 2010

Sharon — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 17:23:36 +0000

The Christian Dior Pre-Fall 2010 collection was all WWII French Resistance and 1930s bias cut gowns straight off the silver screen. Check out the pincurls on the model too! Can you believe that silver lamé number? If I could wear that onstage, I swear I’d learn to sing better! I like the model too, Heloise Guerin. Ahh, Galliano, how do I love thee…

Let’s have a Dita moment…

Hmm, haven’t posted up any Dita recently…

Shopping in Korea

Sharon — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 21:02:17 +0000

I snapped these pics of some cute clothes while Juan and I were shopping in Seoul (yep, I’m in Korea right now)… shopping at 4.30am! Yes, 24 hour shopping here! We went to the dance, then we had dinner, then we went shopping!! I love this place.

Most of the clothing in these huge department stores are no brand in particular – or should I say, knock-off brands, I imagine. But the snaps of the men’s clothes here were from a stall labelled Great Gatsby, a Korean brand.
