Adore Loree’s Ginza Outpost (the medieval basement is worth the price of admittance….and, hey….I’m buying….ANYWAY…..).

There is something sumptuous about the collection of goodies stored in the small boutique edged away from the centre of Ginza (actually….No Where Near Sony…..Printemps…… well…..Let’s just say, I think she got a deal on the real estate…Smart Chick).

It’s a warren of odds and ends….better than the rather banal assortment offered at Isetan….less of the sterling/cubic zirconia variety and more of the jiggle your jewelry from the gallery (Thank you, John Lennon) fare.

Noteworthy: some of her newest additions (Hark, who were these “INSPIRED” by…..?????????? especially now that Garrard has harnessed Stephen Webster for their creative designs…..?).

In any event—always a fun J-treat to scope out—and Hey, we know how to find the Shop now—— despite being illiterate in Kanji, Hiragana, and Katakana…………If she builds it……WE will Come.

Cartier, Aoyama, Tokyo, Japan — As only They can do it ( ….and I can say ‘They’ because as a ‘Gaijin,’ I will never be part of the group…anyway….). A Beautiful and Wonderful assortment of trinkets that never even make our US Coastlines since, frankly, our economy is in the toilet ……and theirs is not quite yet. Alas.

Groove to the shiny stuff like a raccoon. (Remember to wash your lunchmeat in a stream.)

M. Lagerfeld spins a tale of a beautiful, if older, woman and her younger lover. In this case, Jerry Hall and Baptiste Giabiconi (call me–mon cher)…..Voilà. A new handbag campaign…a trend, perhaps. Isn’t it refreshing to see a lovely woman with a sculpted body and magnificent bone structure (as opposed to a middle aged man with a pot belly and bald spot) sporting a fine specimen of youth and vigor.

Do remember sexual peaks, my friends. Check out the web. Men=18/19 vs. Women 40/45. Hardly a contest. Hope it’s a trend.
