Pre Christmas Revelling

so though I abstain I still had to go out as much as possible in the few days before merry merry xmas, and these are the fruits of all that abstinent partying. several of these Houstonians look super fly and a few of them are going to take the brunt of my post christmas blues...

she looks fabulous, way to work the chocolate suede boots and ombre pashmina off her skin tone, super marvelous.  and I love that woven belt which looks smashing against her tan cashmere (one hopes) sweater.  I have the feeling that she works this color scheme alot because they are the colors of her Gucci tote bag.

this is one of pashmina's friends, I didn't ask him to take this as I don't usually ask for a don't.  his pinstriped jacket has an egyptian immortality theme in quilting, so fing ridiculous I don't know why boys insist on embellishing an already standout garment with rhinestones or stupid quilty embroidery, leave the sparkles and the embroidery to the chicks unless you want all of them to think you are a touch fruity.  so emasculating really, why do boys want to dress like us these days girls? 

well that is obviously way to much christmas cheer for one man, this is a christmas sweater cardigan and the only excuse he can possibly have to be wearing the ugliest thing in his mom's closet is a christmas sweater party...but still that doesn't quite give him the right to turn up in midtown looking like a tranny elf several days before the holiday.  wish i hadn't witnessed this one but its such a riot I couldn't help myself, lucky I got the pic b/c I nearly fell over laughing, note the upturned angle of the shot. 

loved this outfit, I bolted out the door after her, she is working her layers to maximum effect with my favorite winter bottoms, super black opaques and I dye for those scrunchy black boots with the little wraps.  I adore that she is doing a floral shirting thing in mid winter and matching her cami to the maroon in the button up, this says to me "I have a huge closet and i'm not afraid to use it all to create a cohesive look."  The real crowning flourish is the amazing winter white jacket which was sort of a cropped bomber in an amazing thick wooly textile, should have gotten a close up of that jacket damnit.  I think b/c of the obvious quality and cut she makes the cropped thing that is so old look new again.

you know how I go crazy for a sparkly dress.  i just hate that beauty queen pose she pulls and maybe its my fault bc when people ask me what I want them to do I just say "be yourself" or stick my hip out and throw my hand on it as an example, obviously I need to learn a little about posing my subjects.


two hot babes!  I wanted the bangs bc they are so rock and she wouldn't take a pic by herself, too insecure in front of my silly snapper - shocking for such a good looking girl- so I asked my gf lisa to jump in and keep her company.  Normally I never put my friends in but don't you think lisa is so chic in tweed and those are kangaroo cowboy boots from australia, very nice.  I also love the shiny black leotard pants on bangsy and her silky flowy ivory top, so smooth with a nice pair of shiny black flat boots...if you like flat boots, which I don't.

oops I blurred this one but it was in a dark and dank dive on memorial that no one should ever take pictures of, had to get this simple ensemble though. I love her stovepipes with tan boots and the grey sweater has the most amazing puffy sleeve detail thing going on.  Just a look that is created out of the most basic of colors and garments that are perfectly fetching and chic, she was definitely the best dressed in the bar, not counting me of course.

what a rockstar, this is karoake night action from midtown.  I love this guy's look expecially the cropped navy peacoat which is a totally well updated classic cut and color and his tan brogues with the little bumpy toe are too cool.  boys in Houston don't usually pay this much attention to the details of their wardrobe so he is special...the fact that he was singing justin timberlake has absolutely nothing to do with this. 

nice floppy sweater, could not let this chick get away cuz i actually bought that sweater at target and returned it the same day b/c I didn't like the saggy thing it did around the booty area.  she looks cool in it though and miraculously there doesn't seem to be a saggy booty problem with hers, or it could be that I am distracted by the checkerboard of her Louis.  I have often wondered why people buy that round topped shape, isn't it hard to carry and get into and stuff...hmm

Super hot looking girls at a sushi place, aren't they so fresh and so chic. I like both of these outfits, on the left is a cool tunicy top that I think was a golden lurex type of thing and i have love for all things sparkly - except on guys, duh - and the right is a floaty (probably cotton but who notices these things when you are hungry for sushi) drapey sweater thing that I love over a tee. and both are wearing darkish denim and black knee boots.  I bet they are barely legal, they give that brand new drinker vibe to me but still they rock those drinkin outfits.

so I wanted to take a pic bc I thought she was in a bright white fur, kinda like that chloe badger coat that I have seen somewhere in my internet shopping haze, but was disappointed to find an old abercrombie style cropped flight jacket thing that is so hideous Im actually embarrassed for her. I mean she is cute and awfully tan for this time of year but girlfriend that jacket is begging for incineration.  first off this one is obviously from the childrens abercrombie and doesn't fit correctly, im surprised she got the zipper up that far and there is just way too much elastic to make this an actual article of clothing for outerwear purposes, burn that shit dude - or donate at least if you can't bring yourself to set all that elastic on fire.

so much better, love a fab black leather jacket...or almost any leather jacket for that matter as long as it fits nicely like hers does and it doesn't squeek or crackle when you touch it which hers didn't cuz I tried.  I of course love the inky black legs and her white flowy top with hazelnut boots serve as a perfect background for her great jacket to stand out on.  good job moto chick, and don't you love her mini quilted bag, maybe not a chanel but we can overlook this.  

so I thought this was a unique piece and I am always super excited to find another person wearing fur, as it is usually tall ass me and no one else, so I took this then looked at it a few days later and was like wtf. that is the most hideous dead animal turned into clothes that I have ever seen and it is probably a vintage fire hazard and a disaster waiting to happen..hope she didn't get too close to those gassy space heaters bc that would be scary.  do like the winter white slouch boots, but nothing can redeem her from this beast.

such a cute girl, of course the sweetest looks I find in the villy belong to the people that work there and not the shoppers.  she is from urban and I dig her cut offs over tights look as that is what I have been working all winter.  aren't these tights fab though I love the stripery with those black boots and black long sleeve tee she is perfection.

mad for plaid!  jk, but not really plaid is hot. another villy worker, this one is from Half price books where the uniform code must be to dress like a kooky professor or you are out.  I asked him about his purple leg warmers and where he got them and his super cool answer was "here and there."  totally sums up the feeling of this look don't you think? 

ugh a fake!  don't buy fake bags they fund terrorism and child abuse and all sorts of horrible lowlife scummy things, as well as hurting the brands of our beloved fashion houses.  This is such a terrible example too, no quilting and it has magnets on the underside of the flap, the size is all wrong and I don't think karl would forget which c goes over which ever.  yuck, 6 months in max security fashion jail where you have to read every dior and chanel coffee table book over and over until you die of blood loss from paper cuts!

another offender trying to work too much look at once. I took it b/c I liked the shine off the boots and have some kind of fetish for lace tights but have decided that to wear lace tights you need to make them the focus of your look, keep the rest simple with no embellishment bc your lovely legs are on display in a splendid lacy manner.  her thing has too much going on top and on bottom, yeah I hope she never repeats this outfit. 

so simple and so perfect, love the chunky ribbed tights dissappearing into the shiny black booties and the red is just the right pop to offset her basic pieces.  this is the way to succesful dressing, choose a standout piece then make it rock by surrounding it with the most classic and well cut garments you have..take a note yall

nice hip hopper in the gally, cool plaid and some sky blue shoes with yellow laces in the mens department at neimans.  crazy that he was shopping their sale as I was too and finding lots of girly things for myself instead of for the rockstar boyfriend.  anyway i like his glasses and the perfectly worn in astros cap, so much nicer than a stiff brimmed trucker hat heavy with embroidery and ugh.. rhinestones.

Envy model search party

party people, i attended this silly super trashy party thrown by that rag envy some time ago at the house of blues.  I went b/c i was hoping to find some tall swanlike creatures in some hot "model off duty" looks, but no such luck...this is the best, the worst and the most strange and not a model one.  boo, but still highly entertaining for my critical eye.

These are not really deserving of their first place spot, I just love a hot pink dress...or anything hot pink actually.  that is a sure way to get my attention, wear your hottest pinks and I will come a runnin.

love that top and her confidence, she is one bold fahsionista cuz she is not whip thin and still going braless and backless when this is very closely verging on the too revealing of unattractive flesh...good top bad back.

Dying for the sharp shoulders on that jacket with those pointy toes, so kate moss in Alexander M, just try not to look at that crazy shitty animal print, is it animal? I can't really tell, another warning sign to stay away from vague animal-like patterns.

She is so cute, I love a hot shot of red to a blue jeans black top outfit, and as we know lace is IN.  could have done without that cowl neck and those bejeweled jeans though, i made her show her clutch that is why she is standing so weird.

one hot russian with a private boutique.  I am not a fan of the dress for some reason but she is so rockin it and that mink shrug is amazing. 

this dress reminds me of stella mcartney , don't know how I turned this into a hyperlink so I am just going to move on.

what do you guys think about jeans into the boots, when your boots are this orangey fabulous I think tuckin is probably your only option...though I love a well shaped bootcut.

this is the top half of boots, he is obviously trying very hard to look snazzy but I seriously doubt peach is the way to impress the possible mates he might meet.
 
uhhh...match much...yeah and that isn't even real argyle.  I have to hand it to him for wearing the white and black combo though, its almost a never fail. as long as you don't go overboard.

Cute girl in a hot zippered dress, don't you just wanna yank that sucker down and see how far it will go?  or maybe thats just me...and every guy in the room.  Love a dress with pockets too, and check those killer shoes below.

see what I mean, they are gucci wannabes I think, but still very hot!  nice stiletto mama.

Isn't he chic, I wish my camera were better so you could see the embroidered detail on this fine jacket, and I adore a dude in pink.  he is soo workin it, I have an anecdote about him and his ultra sleek friend below...

this is the uberchic dude that got into a shouting/swearing match with the valet parker about his car.  apparently they told him ten bucks when he arrived then asked for twenty when he turned in his ticket, one can understand how he would be pissed but my god can you believe this polished fellow was yelling his head off two seconds before I snapped his pic...I just couldn't let him get away. his last words were "bring me my fuckin lamborghini dawg!" and sure enough ten seconds later a hot yellow lambo pulled around the corner and he jumped in and sped away...very stylish aside from the yelling...and don't you die for those snakey patchwork pointy man boots?

okay so you know I hardly ever do don'ts but I had to make an exception for this ridiculous offender.  I really cannot believe she has a mirror at her house, suspender skirts should be left in grade school and she needs a bigger shirt..  those stains, that scarf my lord...i don't have much else to say, its so bad I can't even look at it anymore.


This was easily the hottest girl in the room, I admire her coolness about wearing bright white after labor day.  I have never been completely sure what winter white is, but I am pretty positive this is not it. still she looks hot.

very chill, and a good stripey scarf.  I have a weird aversion to pinstripes but his aren't so bad, am i the only one who never buttons my vests?

Happy Xmas to me!!

Dear Santa, 

Your most expensive little girl has been planning for you for quite some time and has come up with this perfectly edited and sweetly condensed list of ideal gifts for herself.  any one of these pieces would send my wardrobe over the cliff's edge of fabulousness.  have a good chuckle then let the scheming begin, let me know if you need to know where you can pick this booty up.  

Htown lovin'   
The Fashion Witness 

there is nothing even to say about this I am speechless...totally smitten but haven't seen them anywhere.  sigh...

of course I want a big bag as usual, this is the gorgeous Givenchy nightingale...it struck me awhile ago and I never really got to see one but since then I have obsessed on it so much that I must have it...man get ready all this stuff is leather...I would have some studded boots on here too but they are so unavailable everywhere.

something furry would make me very very happy, love both of these and can't pick between the two - top is Rick owens drkshdw and bottom is Harmon and has to be custom made - no matter that I can't pick cuz I'll never see these suckers in real life..boo

I am in stupid need of a new celly, I want the iphone and then I want to send it off for colorizing at colorware so it will be unique.

wanting a pair of real leather pants, these are helmut lang and super suede...so much classier than the high shiny ones don't you think, and I know they would feel like a dream and rock with my new ankle booties.
want this chann luu in black and silver to match my silver tiffany bangle.  this would be soo hot..is this too much jewelry for one list..

and I need a seriously creepy piece that is preferably a gold cuff with some morbid things going on.


I am gagging for this trophy leather jacket, its rick owens and I would seriously fall over dead if it appeared under my christmas tree!  have been watching this sucker sell out on netaporter for months now.

so I think that pretty much sums up my Cristmas joy...for today!!  i'll let you guys know how it turns out, not looking very promising I must say..stupid credit crunch, grrrr..

Peel party and Papercity Booksigning

yo dudes, been out of commission with a horrible head cold for the past few days.  This was a fun party from a little while ago full of localebrities.  

all black with plaid tights, super combo that I love on her but am hesitant to wear myself.

don't you love that hot clutch, its so shiny and big...wonder what flavor skin that is or am I just drooling over patent? love an all grey ensemble er is that green, hmm... i don't know I can't tell.

Milton and Jackson are soo cute together, they must have matched on purpose right.  I wish I had more Milton on here as he is always immaculate, I love his style he is like a supermodel dandy.  All boys should dress this well, especially in purple.

Supertall dude in a velvet waistcoat, it has to be a waistcoat when it is buttoned all the way up, when undone you can just call it a vest.  yay for velvet, i am usually not into velvet but he makes me want some...

These guys are just so stylish, I think their look is a little subtle for internet but trust me they were rockin those dark suits with a stellar fit.

I love a sparkly mini dress y'all know this, hers is a stupid hot version with a cute clutch and basic black peeptoes.  love her slouch appeal, it goes so well with her sweet dress.

snapped the back when she wasn't looking, the sequins go all the way around isn't that chic, and I love those balloon sleeves - so nice this dress I totally want it.

Well dressed dude with riding boots - check out those amazing shoe chains, you can getem on ebay for supercheap according to Rumi.

a close encounter with some over the knees - for some reason I think these are a recipe for kankles, just the heel and they are soo huge or something...what do you guys think.

Kathy Echols, superstar dresser she was the first lady I saw in actual leather pants who made the investment, everyone else (me included) just did the wet look leggings.  She always looks hot too, check those superhot drapey forties style pearls, don't you love?

Here are the leathers in full effect, I can't really tell what her booties are doin whether she has a perfect scrunch or is tucked or what..but I like it anyway man.

Jenny! another superstar, she alwas looks freakin chic as hell and is usually trying to dissuade me from taking her pic but I always have to do it.  She so has her own preppy kind of boho thing goin on - love that little belt looks like it came from Navajo night at summer camp.

Another star that I see everywhere - can't go wrong in a hot LBD can you? no you cant!

Sexy fuschia loubies, love those hot pink suede suckers they were simply made for lbd action.

is that giambattista valli over jeans?  I think it is, I love her scrunch and she told me they were sevens, which I never wear for some reason...i think bc they are way too short usually.  I do like the zips down on the bottom though.  something I so need - jeans with ankle zips, I have been concentrating on the perfect scrunch for far too long.

had to capture her perfect flares and was able to convince her to smile one time, aren't you dying over that gorgeous leopard clutch...do I know who this is by hmm....homework!

Marni peeptoe booty sighting, or they could be the Jeffrey Campbell Serious booty knockoffs... I can't tell if there is a zipper if so then they are the KOs but if not then they are the super hot marni it-boots...guess we will never know, totally frustrating. 

Love love this dress, want it especially b/c it is almost that indecent length and she isn't even wearing tights...so brave.  I like this look alot except for the shoes, am just not digging the old style mules with this superchic dress.

Two hotties!!  My momma, isn't she gorge and the lovely Laurann Claridge in Narciso Rodriguez...its tough to find a long sleeve dress you know.  heard she got this on eluxury.com.

My fave for last - the super talented Mr. Aaron Rambo, doesn't he look charming and believe me he really so is in real life.  I have a love for well worn bowties, and with a tweedy waistcoat he totally rocks.  smashing color combo too - Go Rambo Go!
