Cameron Silver and Christos Garkinos of DECADES and DECADESTWO are well acknowledged for their collection of edgy, current chic–edited with an eye keen enough to keep Melrose neigbour Tommy of Maxfield’s on watch–and vintage treats tempting enough to accompany some of the best dressed women in Hollywood onto the red carpet for Oscar night. DecadesTWO has compiled a bounty of Chanel to be offered this week–beginning with an evening preview November 28 — and is well worth your time if you find yourself in Los Angeles. Even more worth your time if your luggage still hasn’t found you and is on its own holiday in Paraguay courtesy of your airline.

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…..).

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?

B. Romanek’s bags are sold at Barneys’ New York Exclusively retail and through Vivre on line. Rock Favourite and hard to acquire. Especially in certain colours. She has recently embarked on a chained series. Priced to rival VBH.

For those of us routinely stranded in parts of suburbia lacking stores with the Finesse of BDG, Jeffrey, Maxfields…well, you know the drill (most of the stores near me have the Finesse of Target and Super Walmart) there are some on line solutions. One of these is Vivre.com. While I don’t agree with all the edits they compile, they do offer a nice range that can be tempting. Especially if you evaluate them with a discerning eye.

I’m not a huge Allegra Hicks fan and I don’t go to Mustique for the season, but some items do have their merit. Browns UK has a good variety (BUT REMEMBER, don’t buy American–it costs more and you’ll pay Duty) and Net a Porter can feature an interesting mix. I prefer Browns at this juncture to Net-a-Porter–NAP was once a mainstay, but it is not as unusual in its selection as it once was and is now shipped from the US.
