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

Enter the Dragon

Erwin, you are quite photogenic! Erwin's cool TM -- the Dragon's tail takes the shape of a perfect eyebrow

We were initially introduced to Erwin at Elizabeth Arden’s Signature Red Door Salon in Friendship Heights, and while that may not sound particularly hip, Mr. Gomez certainly is! Not only is he a master of all things brow related, he also frequently works with international fashion designers, celebrities and runway talent for shows—in fact, our latest visit with him had followed a session with Messers. Badgely and Mischka in Washington, DC to promote all the black tie requisite for the locals to fete the season in Style.

Pirate Couture –not too much Juicy about it…

Rosalina Cap'n Jack

Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of Rum (drink the rum first, you’ll need it when you see the price) as envisioned by Rosalina. Cap’n Jack is BACK.

Of course, we blame Johnny Depp and Alexander McQueen for perpetuating ‘ole Jolly Roger,. McQueens’ silk scarf has been a sellout at Retail (Check Maxfields, LA) for a few years. Maybe it’s time to let it Rest in Peace.

Thomas Wylde (a female designer who named her design line as a tribute to her Grandfather) is a staple favourite of Sienna Miller, et al. She has enough floor space at Harvey Nicks alone to merit mention.

Loree Rodkin does a full range of white gold, black diamond/white diamond baubles as a tribute to skeletal anatomy because you’re bound to get sick of the ‘Fleur de Lys’…..eventually.

Shelley Litvak has practically made a career of doeskin leather with skull and crossbone patches and stitched detailing–to the extent of giving some of her versions a patch over one eye–Shiver Me Wallet.

And, let’s not forget Libertine (Try though we may, is this a one trick Pony or what?). Once the mainstay of quirky adapted menswear—their prêt a porter targeted line is now featured in Barneys, Jeffrey, et al this past Fall adorned aplenty with crystal skulls as were their cashmere sweaters (hope Master Lucien Pellat-Finet is getting a cut of royalties here….)

Lucien Pellat-Finet's horned devil

A little Pirate action goes a long way. Har De Har. Walk the Plank.

Chatav Ecta Bit

Ecta Bit from Jeffrey, New York, front Ecta Bit from Jeffrey, NY, back

For those More Chic than Chic–we have the edgier fare featured by Maxfields (ask for Deanna: 310.274.8800) in LA or Jeffrey, New York (Charles Battalio 212.206.1272) –check out Libertine, Corey Parks, E-2, and as pictured Chatav EctaBit (yeah, say that quickly three times…..).

Ecta Bit does Bullwinkle

I guess I’d feel more hip if I didn’t have the likes of Bullwinkle embroidered on my tweed.

Retail, $2375. Where’s Rocky?
