Mulberry and Maurice

Mulberry's Fall/Winter ad campaign includes something else besides great handbags.  The model in the photos is accompanied by characters from Maurice Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are".

Mehndi Influences

Beginning with Givenchy's 2012 Spring Couture Collection and continuing with Chanel's 2012 Fall Collection, the influence of India in jewelry has gained momentum. While some of the more ornate pieces are beautiful, I love the ones with more rocker influence (pyramid studs).  Of course if big stones are not your taste, there's always traditional Mehndi.

Christian Louboutin Has a New App!

The French mega shoe house released an app, available now for iPhone and iPod Touch devices.

 

 




Divided into six categories- The Collection, The Wishlist, 20 Ans, Louboutin's Peoople, Store Locator, and News- it allows fans of the brand to share via social media, see sketches from the 20th Anniversary collection and take a peak behind the scenes and more.

Hopefully, Android users will get their own version soon.

I am in love with these heavy metal killer platforms from Jeffrey Campbell.  The Shadow Stud platform means business!

JC has an awesome collection of not so everyday shoes. However, these are calling my name the loudest.
