Super cool German twin sisters, Annette and Daniela Felder designed a great dark collection. Color pallet: BLACK and BLUE, hints at the rock and roll influences in their design. Horse hair collars and shoulder embellishments, with a streak of silver at the end.

London Fashion Week: Paul Costelloe

Opening London fashion week with great energy was Paul Costelloe. Costelloe is from Dublin Ireland and keep in line with his roots we saw lots of tweeds, herringbones and plaids as well as abstract rose print silks. Rich color bursts of fuchsia, mustard and emerald. All this was tempered with great fit, and structured lines, topped off with a blunt cut red bob!
 *He sourced his tweeds in Tipperary, south of Dublin.















London Fashion Week: Jean-Pierre Braganza

Jean-Pierre Braganza, hailing from Canada, had his show Friday night in London. Say his key piece is a "structured tailored blazer", Braganza showed us just that. His show was full of amazing tailoring, with pops of strong color. Check it.





















Vintage Store: Gotta Have It, Venice.

It was pouring rain this Friday in L.A. and my friend Helen de Bragança was in town from NY so we decided to do a little vintage shopping. We picked up Maria and headed South to this great place in Venice called "Gotta Have It".  Denise (a British expat), opened this store over 20 years ago.  Its a buy, trade, sell, and consignment store that specializes in vintage. She has a great selection of 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's pieces and hand picks everything (and what a good picking she has). "Gotta Have It" has everything from gold lame dresses, to faux fur leopard print jackets; sweet little 80's heels and 90's floral dresses. Have a look!





































My Outfit: T-Shirt, vintage; Over shirt, vintage; Jacket, "Fillipa K"; Jeans, "Superfine"; Bag, "Balenciaga"; Shoes, "Surface to Air"; Necklace (cut the beaded collar of a shirt).
