Christian Louboutin certainly takes the mystery out of which shoe goes on which foot…..(assuming you can spell).

The ‘Sex 120′ now at Bergdorf Goodman 212-872-8940 ask for Eddie! $1395.00 worth of black patent education.

Not your Grannie’s vintage needlepoint FENDI….

oh, and not the DIY FENDI (OH NO!!!!)
….and, for what it’s worth—NO, you Don’t want to see what I could come up with (it’s so hard to even do counted cross stitch eating a burrito) sigh.

Wanna give some studioskudos to: CHRISTA WEIL, LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, The Fashionpreserve!
Ms. Weil has a take on that Vintage bag spin.

….and, well, this rendition sorta captures that charm.
It’s sorta it.
(AND, SORTA NOT IT…well, in terms of that almighty price point—and ‘Tis the Season’…..).

Enter–BERGDORF GOODMAN. (noted: deep bow worthy of a Japanese CEO)

Fendi needlepoint bag from Bergdorfsphoto: BDG

So, black was their option…..$7.2K later?
I should have paid more attention to my needlework.
BLACK, mind you….(the new blue?–NO!!!!!!!!)

Yep, I bought one.
and, true—One of my more interesting acquisitions. (As sung to: ‘Material Girl’)—
not counting Tall, Handsome and Japanese (of course)

So desu—-Okay. Looks a bit frail (not the dude, the bag)
—as in: PLEASE FOR GOD’S SAKE DON’T PUT YOUR ROTISSERIE CHICKEN IN THIS for “Later.”
Splotchy needlework (Granny might have given you some demerits there….like did they nod off mid stitch?)
still— overall Lovely.

blue Fendi needlepoint Peekaboo

I sprang for the version in Denim blue with the rose themed pattern over all (and yeah, only one bud in the back z-z-z-z)–the leather details are in a caramel leather and it does possess an authentic charm.

Fendi needlepoint Peekaboo detail

Perhaps as well a la vintage, perhaps not. It is pirouetting in Hermes territory….meaning price points….but how many of the same darned bag can one really own (LOTS and LOTS) sigh. So desu (again)

Verdict—-I’m a happy camper (and still wresting with my tortilla courtesy of Taco Bell).
And therefore, Amen

Tom Ford Beauty

Can’t afford that entry level pair of sunglasses just yet? Still want to enjoy a slice ‘o’ Tom?
Voila. The Maestro has embarked on his own branded cosmetics line.

Striding beyond those early days at SAKS when Estee Lauder courted Mr. Ford with a limited and exclusive Soleil collection —-or even the meager handful of luxe lipsticks (all very much in the mood and price point of Ed Bess).
Voila.

Tom Ford, The Make up.
Eye Quad in Golden Mink at $75 (neutrals)
Ultra Shine Lip Gloss in PINK GUILT at $45
A Tap of FRANTIC PINK cheek colour at $55
and….
Polish off with Tom’s signature $75.00 finishing powder in Alabaster Nude
