Versace FW12 - Not because we like Donatella, but for our love of Gianni

Once there was Opera, then Bondage, and for his last collection in July 1997 before he was brutally murdered, his darker more stringent vision was curtailed - RIP.

Donatella was quoted as "facing her demons" which meant taking on the unrealized promise of her brother's last collection.

You've shed your insecurity and embraced your iconic status - thank you, thank you, and thank you Donatella xoxo

Emilio Puccini FW12 - Smoking Hotttt

When Yves Saint Laurent introduced Le Smoking tuxedo suit for women in 1966, it was revolutionary........

Fast forward 46 years later, and Pucci takes it inspiration - ummmmmm luv luv luv.

Watch out Project Runway

ODK COUTURE!

If you're telling me you know the line, you're probably lying!

ODK Couture is a fabulous new creation by the most talented Mr. Kingsley, who will be auditioning for Project Runway.

I have only been to Houston twice (both times this year), and one thing I will really miss about it are the people - too many wonderful personalities to name, but notably, Shawn, Veronica, and Mille!

Support Shawn Kingsley on Project Runway this season (no pressure mate)........

FENDI FW12 - Hail Caesar

The Roman Hybrid.

Hair styled like statues.

Leather jacket and wool coat in one piece.

Matte and shine as one.

Kilt and skirt in harmony.

Cape and shirt combining plant and animal prints.

And...................an iPad carrier.

Stolen Riches - Take your shoes to the next level!

Since 1915, the Canadian family owned Stolen Riches has been making high quality shoe laces.

Their quote is "Shoes make the individual, then the laces make the statement."

My fellow metro, Denis emailed me their link, then my generous darling wife was kind enough to order me several pairs which I wear lovingly on my shoes.

Now it's your turn to freshen up your shoes!
