Fur & Steel

Flora Davis makes one-of-a-kind sculptural jewelry from some very unique materials.  She uses fur from her cat Gaia!  And if you love her creations but don't want to wear someone else's cat's fur, she can create a custom piece for you using your cat's hair.  All you have to do is collect all that unwanted fur from Mr. Fluffy and send it in.  Now, instead of getting annoyed at all that cat hair floating around you can look at it and think, "that would look loving hanging from my earlobes."

Check out some of her designs below and check out her Etsy page here.  If it looks familiar it's probably because you've seen her featured on Animal Planet's Must Love Cats.  Other people spend their Saturday nights watching that show right?  Right?....

Resort 2013

The Resort 2013 collections are beginning to trickle in. Although Resort is traditionally not as important as the Spring and Fall collections, it's often one of my favorites due to the bright colors and bold patterns designers tend to favor for this season. Below are some of my favorites so far.  Erdem killed it with the prints (as usual) and Karl presented a very fashion forward Marie Antoinette at Versailles.  Plus one amazing emerald green gown at Oscar. 

Erdem








Oscar de la Renta

And of course, Diane Kruger already got to wear my favorite Chanel resort dress at the amFAR Gala at Cannes today.  The things I would do for that girl's wardrobe....

2012 Met Gala

Last night was the 2012 Met Gala, the ultimate in red carpets!  I love the Met Gala because people take risks! Of course that means there were some awful choices but overall a gorgeous and exciting red carpet this year. There was plenty of Prada in honor of the Met's new exhibit, Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations, and you had Anna Wintour in a Prada homage to Shiaparelli's lobster dress.  Anna! Lobsters! I can barely contain myself!  


Below are some of my favorites of the night including Marc Jacobs in a lace dress and Beyonce in an amazing sheer and feathered Givenchy creation.
