got them...

'readers feast' on swantson has provided me with some new reading material, alexander mcqueens book by kristen knox and the 'sex and the city 2' movie book. have already finished reading mcqueens book, read on the train. the 'satc2' book chronicles the wardrobes of the girls during their big arabian adventure, can't wait...

an exciting developement...

i went up to the big smoke today, hadn't been in a few weeks and was having withdrawals, i got my hit and boy do i feel better, anyhow, i went into harrolds, where they had just recieved shipment of fall 2010 ysl, including a wool version of the suit below, from the spring 2010 collection...

plus, i was speaking to one of the sales assistants and he was telling me, that on top of the already stellar roster of designers on the show-room floor including ysl, tom ford, marc jacobs, dunhill, john varvatos, antonio marras and corneliani that come september they will also be stocking balmain homme, givenchy, raf simons and pierre hardy footwear... i know what you are thinking, i need a bigger bank balance!

kinda familiar...

the cast from 'scrubs,' quite possibly the best show ever to grace the small screen... and below, looks from prada's new spring 2011 collection shown in milan on sunday, doppelganger much... apparently miuccia and i have the same taste in television programming, love it...

obscure inspiration aside, another fantastic collection from prada, will write a review in the next few days, for prada and the other collections that have left me feeling all tingly inside... stay tuned

epic...

style.com/ announced last month that the late isabella blow's entire wardrobe was to be going to auction at christie's in london. many commentators suggested that her collection was too vast and brilliant to be sold off in pieces, that it be sold as a whole, to be archived, so that future generations could enjoy its greatness and in turn celebrate isabella flair for the avant-garde. fast-forward to today, where style.com/ informed the world that the one and only, daphne guinness has picked up the entire collection, including 90 alexander mcqueen outfits, many dresses by john galliano and a vast range of hats by acclaimed milliner philip tracey. ms. guinness, an avid couture collector herself believes that 'like any artist, it [blow's wardrobe] should not be dispersed, but remain as a monument with people having access to it' and that blow's collection of mcqueen proves that he 'really deserves a place in fashion history'
great news indeed...

oh yeah...

3,000 visitors, how to commerate? a trip to harrolds on collins? to try on a tom ford suit... deal.

what a day...

today i took a family trip to chapel street to see 'satc2,' i hate to say it, but i was a little disappointed, there seemed to be alot of fluff and not quite the amount of substance fans of the show have come to expect. and it didn't seem to break much new ground, the same kind of story-line was used in the series, just not on this a grander scale. thats not to say though, that i didn't enjoy it, i just didn't feel as invested in the story as i previously had been, watching the series. and once again patricia field did an amazing job with the costuming, if not at times too amazing, some of the outfits for the situation were a bit OTT, but i guess that is part of the fantasy... i tried to get the movie book while at borders, but apparently it was still on back-order... another time... next weekend maybe.

i also made a wee dent in my wallet with 4 new magazines to feast my eyes on... can't wait!
the june issue of american vogue with blake lively on the cover... features a great interview with 'net-a-porter' founder natalie massenet
issue 22 of '10 men' featuring model sid ellisdon on its cover
issue 65 of 'v magazine' with scarlett johansson in ysl on its cover
+ the launch issue of 'industrie' magazine, with none other than the queen bee of the fashion industry, ANNA WINTOUR on its cover...

a very good day was had by all...

how was your?

holy frick...5

digusting... must see!
