Organic Chemistry

organicss10-1.JPGAs soon as the BCBG show ended this morning, a nice chunk of the crowd made their way a few blocks south to Keens Steakhouse for the Organic by John Patrick presentation, styled again this season by Lauren Goodman.

Now nothing makes me happier then a quick compliment (well, except looking at pretty clothes, hair and makeup), especially when it comes from one of my all-time favorite models, Shalom. She was holding court up near the bar and I had to snap a shot of her adorable bow tie. When she gave my blazer, boyfriend tee, and bleach splotched JET jeans the thumbs up, I knew my day was going to be just fine indeed. Thanks, Shalom!

The collection definitely didn’t disappoint either.The dark room and the ultra sexy pin curls and red lips (thanks to Odile Gilbert for Aveda and Gucci Westman for Revlon) perfectly offset the pretty yet sultry spring selections. There was definitely a bit of a boudoir thing going on. And the pieces felt like a natural, lighter evolution of the strong, dark fall palette we saw in February. I’m pretty sure Britt should put in a personal order for one of those trenches asap while I’m eyeing the pastel printed dresses. And of course, you don’t for one second get the sense of anything crunchy or granola.

And that’s just the way we like our sustainable fashion, thank you very much.

Domino Credits Page, A Dissection

dominosey.jpgWe love Kelly Wearstler, the adorable interior designer who’s quickly becoming her own lifestyle brand, especially since she shows up in Vogue in odd Marni pieces and the really editorial Marc stuff.

And we love her Domino cover, especially because her shoes are shiny and gold like her incredibly expensive bric-a-brac at Bergdorf, and she’s smiling in a big way.

But while flipping through the issue this weekend (don’t ask), the credits page kind of took us aback, like:

- Why is it “Justin Guinta”, when we all know it’s really Subversive? Does he design a separate line we’ve never heard of? Or is this like when credits read “Nicolas Ghesquiere for Balenciaga”, which bugs us to no end?

- Why is Kelly wearing $451 jeans and $2,300 worth of jewelry? Really? In a magazine that’s about style and smart design, we would much rather see something more realistic. It’s so great to see a cover girl in jeans, but it would be way more inspiring for Lauren Goodman to accessorize with something like this cuff (as seen in Editors’ Cravings, page 38), which we’re dying over, but could actually afford. We’re all for investment pieces, but this seems a little ridiculous.

- Why no credit for the shoes? They’re arguably the best part, even though they’re untied…
