Adrenaline Power Combo

One of the best combos during Paris fashion week. I'm crazy about the color palette; the way that the net sleeve brings out the barely visible grilled background on the camouflage parka; and the way the monochromatic waves and profile of the Christopher Kane liquid clutch blends the whole look together. When you see a look like this approaching from a far, you get a major adrenaline rush.

Sarah Rutson, Monday's Inspiration

Sarah rules. I love the way she styles this look. It is my idea of perfection. A clever interpretation of tuxedo dressing, deconstructed and put back together with her personal touch. Every single detail is brilliant: the Celine jacquard skirt maintains a classic elegant rigour; the cropped sweater an edgy alternative to the classic smoking jacket; the exposed bib of the tuxedo shirt refinely centers the look; and her Valentino's Va Va Voom and pointy stilettos are today's classic accessories.

Just what the doctor ordered

I'm not feeling well today. I guess I've been indulging too much in the season's feasts. Last night's Bollito Misto alla Piemontese has left me immobile in bed this morning, but, I've been able to find a little joy in my situation. The above snapshot is the view from my pillow. Nice, huh? I love the tone and texture scheme of the shoes that I packed (totally unintentional) for this trip to Madulain. Gosh, how I love YSL Tributes, I rarely ever leave home with out them. And don't get me started on my all-time-favorite Louboutin Pigalle, the ultimate toe-cleavage stiletto. And my beloved Miu Miu leopard skin platforms, my favorite platform for fall 2010. Every time I open my eyes, these babies are there. I think I feel the strength coming back to my achy bones.
