Closet Envy

Seriously - this is one of the BEST closets I have ever seen. Meticulously organized and apparently covering, oh, a city block or so. I knew I loved her for a reason other then her love of vintage and her brilliant business acumen.

Everyone's in the Hamptons.....

......including the beautiful Glamourai (go peek)
and as Style.com reports

"On Saturday, there were not one but two large-scale benefits, each with their own art auction. In East Hampton, Russell Simmons opened up his house for the tenth anniversary Art for Life party for his Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation, a charity that supports public artistic projects for children in the city. ..........A town over, in Bridgehampton, meanwhile, revelers were whisked by golf cart past the rows of vineyards, horse stables, and the long, long swimming pool that make up Steven Klein's estate. The photographer was co-hosting a party with Calvin Klein Collection and Vanity Fair for ACRIA, the AIDS charity."

I have pulled some of the terrific summer looks for you.
Use them as inspiration as you hunt through the virtual racks over at Shrimpton Couture.
Can you spot the vintage equivalent to these looks?
Lots have their roots in vintage that is for sure!
Enjoy!

Pamela Glassman and Rachel Zoe rock caftans & maxis

Vanity Fair's Elizabeth Saltzman Walker with my girl, Tamara Mellon
go the opposite end of the scale in mini's

I have to admit that I do not have the vintage equivalent of this for the stage get up but I still had to share this picture - isn't it spectacular? BUT you could get the feel of the fringe and over the top lux by adding some Louise Black or RSVP pieces that I currently have in the shop

God I love Daphne Guinness - she is the modern day equivalent of all those woman who pushed fashion to its boundaries and constantly forged ahead.
Here she rocks a fringed mini and her own custom made-just-for-her platforms.
Get this look with a 20s piece

and the gorgeous Sarah Jessica Parker gets snapped with her husband Matthew Broderick, at the ACRIA's Cocktails at Sunset party wearing the modern equivilant of the wiggle dress

I Heart Tamara

If you are a regular you know how much I love Tamara Mellon. I think she is brilliant and I have followed her career forever. I think she is one of THE smartest woman in fashion. Hello people, she is responsible for both Jimmy Choo AND the Halston re-launch.

And I have heard that she is obsessed with collecting vintage Halston pieces. How can we not be long lost BFFs based on that fact alone. I have some saved Halstons pieces just for the day she comes knocking as I would let no one else have them except for Moi.

I love when I can post a great picture of her so was pelase to see this shot of Tamara attending the Met Gala.

I want this jumpsuit so bad I could die. It is insanely gorgeous. I am now in perma lust.

I also had to post this photo since we are taking Halston.
Super model Paulina Porizkova also wore Halston to the event.
Don't you love that color?

I know, I know
I am obsessed
Sigh so kill me
But please ...
bury me in Halston?
