Lanvin's Winged Eagle Necklace Deserves To Be Saluted

$1985, Lanvin, BergdorfGoodman.com

Lanvin's eagle necklace commands so much respect that you really ought to take your hat off, stand, and salute it. It's a necklace befitting R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly," which, I'm sure we can all agree, is the apotheosis of his career.

Lanvin For H&M Coming This Fall!

Dude, Lanvin's H&M collection has me just about Kanye West-levels of excited. Lanvin's Alber Elbaz, and mens­wear designer Lucas Ossendrijver H&M collection will go on sale in around 200 H&M stores on November 20th in North America and November 23rd in the rest of the world.

Lanvin for H&M will include womenswear and menswear and will be revealed November 2.

Something tells me this will be EVEN BETTER than Madonna's H&M collection! < / sarcasm>

Jessica Alba Power Dresses In Lanvin!

While I'm truly indifferent to Jessica Alba's comings and goings in this world, I do give her two style snaps for totally POWER DRESSING TO THE MAX in the Lanvin Pre-Fall 2009 metallic dress she wore to the Spike TV’s Scream Awards 2009 earlier this month.


It's SO Joan Collins in Dynasty.

Crystal Jewelry I MUST Own...

A few sparkly, spangly little crystal "treasures," as Makeup Loves Me LOVES to refer to jewelry...

($573, Lanvin, Luisaviaroma.com)

Not in a MILLION minutes would I have ever thought I'd be sitting here attracted to jewelry featuring DENIM. But Lanvin done did it with this slightly '90s bracelet.

($475, Swarovski)

CAN. YOU. EVEN? C.Y.E. It's like wearing a crystal kaleidoscope on your NECK! And I NEED TO DO THAT.

($154, Martine Wester)

ADORING this gorgeous vintage-inspired mismatched crystal rosette bracelet, and I'm seriously considering getting it to wear with my Jenny Packham wedding dress, as long as it complements the jewels on the dress itself and doesn't snag the silk. Check out more of Martine Wester's pretty crystal pieces.

At first everyone was like OHHH WOOOH OMFG STACKABLE RINGS! IT'S THE SECOND MF-ING COMING OF HAYSOOS CHRISTO. And I was like Snoreaphyll. Truly, I didn't give a rat's ass about stackable rings. UNTIL... I came across these Iosselliani vintage-inspired stackable rings. And now I'm as TEAM STACKABLE RING as YOU are Team Edward! Rawr!

Bright Heels = HOT HOT HEAT!

A hearty shove of ye old proverbial revolving door that pushes forth ridiculously trendy heels, sandals, and slingbacks in bold, bright, brilliant candy colors!

(Apprx $65 USD, NewLook.co.uk)

Is it kinda wrong that I wish we had a New Look here? Or do we already have enough Charlotte Russes and Wet Seals?

($125, Topshop)

I know they've got a bit of a Harlequin vibe, but whatevs. You could sooo tone that down with some grey tights and a black minidress, you know?

(Apprx $82 USD, Dorothy Perkins)

Perfect height, and I love the naughty character shoe vibe.

($612, Lanvin, Brownsfashion.com)

Once again, I'm dying, I'm dead, a corpse is blogging about how STUNNING these cornflower blue Lanvin heels are.

Binge Lust: Office's Grey Patent Platforms

Ridiculously high, absolutely impractical, completely want!

(Apprx $109 USD, Office.co.uk)

They remind me of the red patent Lanvin heels I want, but way, way cheaper, and slightly less FM-i-er in grey!

Yoox Vintage Earrings I've Been Sweating For A Fortnight

Actually, more like three fortnights... Anyway, Yoox has had a selection of vintage jewelry for a while now, and I've been lurvin' all up on these blue '80s earrings more than I should probably admit. Like, slobbering and shit. They're clip-on (one strike against them), and $70, (strike two), therefore I'll continue to covet from afar.

($70, Yoox)

Also, Yoox is having a one-day-only 25% Christmas Day sale where they're taking 25% off (like I says!) on all of their Fall/ Winter merch. But again, it's ONE DAY ONLY! Use promo code YOOXMAS on December 25.

You COULD walk away with/ in these SERIOUS Lanvin heels -- currently $312, $234 with promo code discount!

THINK ABOUT IT!

Footwear Friday

Okay, here's a Freaky Friday Fun Fact: I really don't like ice cream much. Something about the salt content and how all that soda makes me crave gallons of water for a freaking fortnight. But what I DO like is cone heels. So, let's begin, shall wes?

Ahhh the Lanvin cone heel -- the daddy mack of them all. J'adore! They're not easy to get your hands on, but I did find a pair of the blue ones, and if you're a size 40, you're in luck.

($567, Lanvin, Marissacollections.com)

Sure, they're totally unwalkable, but if you're spending that kinda cash on heels, you probably can afford cabs. There are also a handful of pairs on eBay.

($278, Hugo, Zappos)

A gorgeous alternative to Lanvin, and they're patent leather too! Two trends for half the price of one!

($75, Na Na, Piperlime)

These are gorgeous -- and gorgeously priced -- in black too, but the olive is really unique.

($125, Vince Camuto, Piperlime)

The snakeskin, peep toe and chunky heel combine to make this shoe a sexy stunner.

($398, Tapeet, Zappos)

Another great chunky-heeled version in a metallic.

($28, Delicious, Lulusfashionlounge.com)

Simple, sexy, super affordable = sold.

($17.99, eBay)

Really can't argue with the price here.

($175, Report, Piperlime)

Simply beautiful.

($171, Fornarina, Zappos)

I'm not too into snakeskin, but I could certainly make an exception for these.

($138, daniblack, Zappos)

And I could absolutely make an exception for these...

($201, Via Spiga, Zappos)

Love the cut of these. They're sorta '80s rich-girl prepster in the best possible way.

($72, Pink Studio, Lulusfashionlounge)

How can you even tolerate how cute the polka dos are? Normally rosy tan and light blue is so vomitoriously kountry kitchen, but it works so perfectly here. A great work shoe.

($185, Miss Sixty)

I could probably do a week's worth of posts on Oxfords alone, but these are also great work wear.

($442, Costume National, Zappos)

As are these. Ultimate power bitch banker heel. Woo!

($89, Thom Browne)

And her opposite, the fun-lovin' hippie kid sister who comes to visit for the weekend and leaves crumbs everywhere.

($171, Fornarina, Zappos)

Fun and festive.

($25, Abate For Payless)

My Lord I love high-end/low-rent collabos!


... And finally... my two faves...

($175, Report Signature, Piperlime)

Oh yes. Yes yes yes. Oh yes indeed.


... And...

($625, Pucci, Net-a-porter.com)

Possibly the most best shoes ever in the universe and history of all shoes forever and ever amen.
