This black ensemble has all the elements I crave: narrow but long sleeves , cut out hole & bonus points for the scarf.

The ‘Foil’ Dress

The ‘Fierce’ Dress: Metallic detail trimming a fitted wool looking dress.

Black on black: shredded style top and sparkling mini. I want this.

I’m still obssessed with these ruched black skinnies.


One of the luxe evening dresses. This had a bound lace back.

Backstage: The big shoulder jacket is EVERYwhere, so it’s cool to see a designer doing the reverse: A skin baring cut out.

Back stage: One of the models relaxing. I should have asked where did she get that damn jacket.

Chilling outside after the show.

Sorry for the graininess. I should have adjusted the camera. I had one of those ‘I forgot about these’ moments when I pulled on these Dolce Vita boots, purchased about 3 years ago. One of the only knee highs tall enough to REALLY go past my knee.

After being invited to attend last night’s first ever Fall 09 fashion show for celebrity stylist Margi Kent, I understand why GQ magazine nicknamed her “the rock and roll doctor.” So many edged out distressed pieces mixed in with classic staples. The collection ranged from day to evening to bridal. Basically a woman’s life.

There were dramatic floor sweeping gowns in rich jewel tones, but the short body con pieces (and the black ruched skinnies) had my name written all over them. Thanks Chelsea and Lauren for a great night.
