More Bling for your Bing! new and gently loved fashion props and favorites

Cherry Picks for July

Gucci’s coveted ‘Indy’ Bag in black python with requisite trim and tassel closure (price — don’t ask, but better than the fur variety AND infinitely more wearable); Jimmy Choo burgundy patent/wine suede Doctor’s bag (the large one, bring extra gauze Make HOUSE CALLS); Philadelphia’s EVIAMA Life Spa — ‘green’ eco-friendly ask for Carla and go for that pro Rainforest Bikini Wax — 215.545.3344; Diane Kenal (Think Balenciaga shows, Penelope Cruz) fave Kryolan Supracolor Cream Make Up Palette (try Three Custom Color Specialists if you can’t find the former) for nude on nude coverage. Contour baby.

In grey Chloe jeans and  birkin in Omotesando Hills

Denim (stock up for fall)–while we love our season’s past Saddlelite jeans (which hide the saddlebags…) We also groove to Libertine’s jeans for Target $34.99 (Look 22), ODYN ($204 Barneys — 212.826.8900-size UP) and MY YYC fave Chloe!!!!!! (see pic above)

New fragrance by Gucci - Pour Homme II

And, for the Studly one in your life: Gucci (pour homme 2) nice to smell on the pillow beside you.

Stephen Webster campaign featuring his pigmented gems

Lest we forget, STATEMENT RINGS– you know, not marriage, not goin’ steady, just bein’ YOU (excuse to buy bling) are back (when did they leave?). Think Rosalina, but buy Stephen Webster. His pigmented crystal gems rock.

Farewell to Tony B.

Go-Go- Goyard!

Yumyum's customized Goyard Tote

Go-Go-Goyard! Finally, the long awaited Yumyumcherry Goyard tote arrived. Less French Blue and slightly different in proportion than what we had envisioned, still, this signature bag is well worth the effort. (Thank you again Eli –Goyard, SF). Now featured in the US at both their flagship Boutique in San Francisco as well as Bergdorf Goodman and Barneys’ New York, this long heralded french staple is giving cousin Louis (Vuitton) a run for l’argent.

Inside Goyard's Aoyama boutique in Tokyo

YYC spied a huge collection of Goyard at the Loveless Boutique in Aoyama which included a vast selection of their hard sided luggage, bags and small leather goods (Dig the chandelier and stay clear in case of earthquakes…or step into one of the larger steamer trunks-monogrammed, of course). Insiders adore the much touted ‘Saigon’ bag–but the Fiji seems to be the sell out. Unless you love their somewhat ‘Erin Go Braugh’ Green. Lucky Charms, indeed.

Romanek price increase

Perhaps like UPS, FED EX, and the Airlines, designer B. Romanek (as sold at Barneys, New York and Vivre. Com) is adding a fuel surcharge. Actually, whatever the reason, her signature clutch (now adapted to two additional styles with optional chain straps) is now $300 more than the same bag last month. Should’a bought it then.
