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.

Vilebrequin Trunk Envy

Vilebrequin storefront on Worth Avenue, Palm Beach

Vilebrequin. C’mon…would it kill these guys to fashion some of their adorable signature prints into ladies tops at the very least? I guess YYC suffers from some form of Trunk envy.

I dig the red and white Kangaroo print (Just dying to root through the pouch in the sand…buried treasure)—the Kirschmeister grooves to the sea turtle pastel mix from seasons past. Even (Get this Swim Fans) available at Sawgrass Mills Outlet Mall (Sunrise, Florida — Sunrise and Flamingo road—-‘OLA.) Backstroke of luck. Buy a few. You never know when GQ will be hunting for their next cover. Adore their line of boy’s shirts and those fantastic beach towels. Cross dressing?

Cristalino

Cristalino

Disclaimer: THIS IS NOT CHAMPAGNE.
I wanted to clear that up immediately because the last thing I need is a band of six Nasty Frenchmen pelting me with croissants, pate, and doing whatever else they do when not supporting their part of the UN Resolution. Just don’t mess with the grapes. This really gets les pantaloons in knots.

This Spanish bottled sparkling whatever they call it (that tastes as if it would be champagne in it’s next life if only it could head north-east in the next life’s pollination)–is indeed a fantastic and affordable bubbly. It is produced by James Serra and imported by CIV to Sacramento, California.

Cristalino label

It wins kudos yearly in it’s category by Wine reviewers using terms like: ‘It has a delightful personality and legs…’ ‘The bouquet is unpredictible but not too rash….’ blah, blah, blah. I think these people need to stop drinking long enough to evaluate their comments, but hey, they seem to enjoy this stuff, and you will, too. $10.00 or thereabouts a bottle US—great with fishsticks (’although a bit impertinent….’)
