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

Mind the Gap

Hermes creative shoe director, designer Pierre Hardy, has designed a capsule collection bearing his name for the Gap, no less. As shown, offerings include a pale grey leather sandal that I would love to find on my doorstep in a size 40 (hint, hint).

Also included in the visuals are a ‘natural’ (as Hermes would call it) smooth leather and a suede olive (vert bronze) mid calf boot.

Coup de coeur.

Hound of the Baskervilles

Having an optically challenged Autumn?

After a few rounds of Fall fashion, I’m feeling like someone slipped a hallucinogenic drug into my morning Latte.
For me it started with the purchase of Alex McQueen’s $1699 fall tote courtesy of Eddie Curtis (yeah, my shoe guru) at Bergdorf Goodman (800.753-7300—second floor shoes….oh, and they rarely pick up the phone, but you hit the jackpot when they do).

Alexander McQueen handbag

The handbag itself is a variation on his ‘motorcycle’ bag for the season. It features two different off white/black houndstooth prints and black patent leather with gold hardware. Enough said.

Add to that separates from a range including Christian Dior Boutique and the ‘Go’ Collection at Target.

Now, that’s a lot of houndstooth. I don’t suppose you want to add shoes to the mix? If so, there are plenty of options—even McQueen with a few rounds with his extra fabric, but sometimes LESS IS MORE.

Fun as a trend, but don’t invest wads (easier to do at these price points than you might suspect) because it will be painfully dated in about three months. Enjoy.

Personal Appearance chez BDG

Thursday, October 22

Where? At Bergdorf Goodman (bring lots of plastic!!!).

The amazingly talented M. Louboutin will make a personal appearance at Bergdorf Goodman’s second floor shoe salon (otherwise known as Mecca for me).
We are not worthy.
