I have a thing for huge pants. It's almost like my obsession with humungo-purses. Oversize things grab my attention a lot better than brightly colored things for several reasons, the person who decides to don something of that size must have balls. {Not everyone will agree with the choice} Must be prepared to lose something, be it a shoe or car keys. And finally, are truly in touch with classic style.
My covet(s) of the moment happen to be a pair of Grey Ant Welt Jeans that I picked up at a store in L.A. a month ago. These jeans are simply divine and for them to be so large on the other side of they knee, they aren't heavy. The jeans have a slight stretch to them so they flatter your body quite well in the tummy area that women love to hate. Go get your magnifying glass out and take a up close and personal look at these ants.

Who's My Sexy Bon-Bon? McQueen Is My Sexy Bon-Bon!
As we all know Men's Fashion Week is taking place as we speak and how befitting that Alexander McQueen show his resort 2009 and spring 2009 menswear collections hand in hand. I guess the devil is truly in the details and Alexander gave us just that this past weekend in Milan. McQueen created chiffon dresses that were dotted with koi and hummingbird detailing. He sent an all-in-one tux down the runway in addition to a beaded number that reminded you of a second skin dress from your favorite Hollywood movies of the 40's and 50's. My fave of the collection though had to be the form fitting black and white side striped tux dress. I never wanted to wear a set of shoulder pads more in my life.
Like We Didnt Already Know
So this weekend Mitchel Winehouse, Amy Winehouse's father decided to go public and let the world in on his daughters battle with emphysema. Now all things considering that she is 24 {I know girls that have chain smoked for years and emphy-free} and currently battling something that's normally contracted by elderly people at 85 should be a wake up call to the world on the dangers of drug abuse, in addition to smoking.
Mitch told the Daily Mail, that "she's covered in nicotine patches from head to toe... The only thing that can go into her lungs are fresh air. She faces a stark choice - either she sticks to it or she won't sing again."
The 50's inspired bouffant that inspired everyone from Cavalli to Lagerfeld {so much so until the Chanel Fall 2008 campaign looks like Winehouse did the hairstyles herself} is currently undergoing treatment outside of London. My question to my readers are: Do you think she will kick her habit this time or not?
A Look Back: Loub Is Such A Naughty Boy
I decided to take a look back at one of my fav men in the world: Christian Louboutin. In this clip, he shows off some of his designs from his 2007 fall collection and discusses collections past with NY Magazine Fashion Editor Harriet Mays Powell. He talks inspiration, expansion and he snaps Harriet's bra. Enjoy mon amies.
Gucci Fall 2008
I was going through Gucci's line of Fall 2008 Bag's and I was pleasantly surprised to see that they really get it right when it comes to the use of their logo on a consistent basis. They seem to have read my mind when they offered up the various styles in various uses of their logo. I'm a logo person at times but then I just like a bag that is well made and stylish. Gucci never disappoints when it comes to style, selection, and their ability to take a trend and turn it into a classic. I have Gucci bags from when I was in high school that are still fashionable today. (No I'm not tellin' ya' when exactly!) Moving right along......Gucci remains my mainstay. It's the bag I'll reach for 9 times out of ten. I really wasn't rough on my things as a teenager but it is amazing how well my Gucci bags have held up over time. I very rarely let my daughter use them but when she does I don't even worry about them because their so well made. Take a look at a small repensentative sample of Gucci's Fall 2008 Collection.
