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.

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)

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

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.

…but his women Wear Chanel. Glad he’s pays them well.

Okay, Tom Ford–Gucci’s fashion magician of days past who then parlayed YSL into recent success– is launching his own flagship Boutique. Citing himself as his own Muse–this guy obviously has no inferiority complexes with which he’s wrestling. Of course, he is an adonis and I’m just annoyed that he doesn’t groove to the female beat–not that I was anticipating a date with Mr. Ford in any event.

At his new Madison Avenue digs, Tom will offer tailored selections of classic men’s wear in the exquisite materials he prefers. I’d love to see him running down the street to visit V. Bruce. Gotta admit, they’d make good bookends.

I guess his Lauder contract has paid well.

Seems that in Gucci’s updated invasion plans of the USA, not even Tampa Bay (gasp….even Bloomingdales dares not tread here…..) has remained untouched.

YYC had the pleasure of meeeting Brandon Smith (813/348-2708), supervisor of the Gucci Boutique at the International Mall, Tampa, who took time to brief us on some of the Most popular special orders of January ‘07.

No surprise that the Pelham (see picture) is again heading the ‘Wish’ lists of some of most devout fashionista’s worldwide–followed closely by the Uber Python chain Hobo–a stylized tot in earthtone/neutral ivory skin (and yes, you couture slaves in California need not apply), and finally, the ‘Britt’ to which we give honour for the sheer amount of hardware involved….sort of like what would have happened if ‘GG’ and ‘DG’ had a child. But, I digress.
