New Shiny Toy: Diane von Furstenberg Marla Bis Top in Posey

A few weeks ago Australia-based The Fashion Loving Stylist emailed to let me know she would be in L.A. styling a movie and wanted to get together for a girls night! We invited Fashion Intel and InnyVinny to make it a fabulous fashionable foursome and hit Bottega Louie for dinner and Seven Grand for after-dinah drinks.





















































My first fashion blogger meet up was everything I hopped it would be. Let's start with the fashion faves of the night - Fashion Intel's TDF Alexander Wang bag with secret pockets, my Forever 21 ring, Fashion Stylist's Chanel earrings and Inny Vinny's "Tribute Tributes." A+ to ladies who bring it. Especially for first in person impressions ;)



















































































































































































The four of us laughed pretty much non-stop the entire night. Mostly about the best TV show EVER, RuPaul's Drag Race. You see, Fashion Intel brought up this amazing RuPaul quote that had been circulating the Web that day. So I just HAD to tell the girls how I spent that Monday night sitting next to Ru at a mutual friend's house previewing the second season of Drag Race!!!!!!

Love that they all almost fainted when I told them; I almost fainted when I got invited! Adore me some ladies who can appreciate them some man ladies.

For the record: I made Ru laugh 4.5 times and yes, his friends call him Ru and I think he is seriously the least pretentious queen ever, and I've got my money on JuJuBee this season.


The girls and I also talked shop. We swapped stories about cool and not so cool fashion bloggers. And shared tales of busting shitty anonymous commenters with good ole IP targeting. Yayayayaya to being blogger narcs and booooooo to readers who player hate.

And finally, like all good bloggers, we took waaaaay too many pictures.







































































































I taught them the good ole Mr. Architect head trick.













































And my cure for a case of ass face and bangs. A condition I've been suffering from ALL THE TIME lately. F.























Love these ladies. Love the interwebs for bringing them into my life.
























Also in looooooooooves with my new shiny toy: this Diane von Furstenberg Marla Bis Top in Posey. Scored it resale at Designer Labels for $50ish.













































Remember how I spent most of last year gaga over the Spring 2009 DVF prints? Despite the fact that sociopath Olivia wore a multipletude of them.

















































































































































Today I channeled Whitney crossed with Ongina





































































But next time I think I will play it a little less safe. Want to try the print on print trend that I am HOT TO TROT for this spring. Will start off slow since I don't want to fuck it up, have to lipsync for my llllllife and be forced to sashay away.

New Shiny Toys: Tashkent by Cheyenne

January was Mr. Architect Month. His Silver Haired Fox was out of town for a few weeks caring for an ill parent so we made a point of inviting Mr. Architect out whenever we had fab plans. This resulted in quite a bit of lunching, boozing, cackling and trying to look skinny in pictures - you know how we do. LOVE that beautiful, hilarious man!





































The month of "I heart Mr. Architect" culminated with his birthday par-tay at Rockwell. All his biggest fans and many of our favorites - Sable Crow, Danny B, Daisy Duke's - were in attendance. Funniest line of the night went to - duh - Mr. Architect. After taking in all the, um, ladies at the Los Feliz bar, he sniffed: "These girls think they are Kim Kardashian but they are really Armenian Snookis." I freaked out because I was LITerally thinking the same thing when he said it. Great minds...



































































































































































For the festivities I debuted my first shoe purchase of 2010: Tashkent by Cheyenne peep toe bondage-y booties. Every single person who saw them COOOOOED over them. I seriously LOVE them more than is appropriate. We are taking inter-species love.





































Remember when I first discovered this brand back in March of 08? Well I've kept my eyes peeled for them on sale ever since. But whenever I saw them in a store or online they wouldn't budge below $250. F.


























































That is until a few weeks ago when I stopped by American Rag for the first time in a decade. There they were waiting for me. The only size left, the leg lengthening color I wanted AND marked down from $500ish to $130.






































Channeled Jennifer Connelley again by pairing them with all black and a shot of color courtesy of a Gucci scarf.






















Absolutely obsessed with Balenciaga's Spring booties and think my new tootsies are a low cost approximation. Plan to wear them to death.


















































































































If you are in the market for some edgy shoes take a gander at Pour La Victorie, my shopbop picks and Neiman Marcus' nude options.











































































































































































































































And here's some inspiration from net-a-porter on how to rock them.
