And More Tie-Dye Denim... Please?

OK so noted that I'm really behind on this one... but as I dashed through Oxford Circus in London before catching my plane I ducked into Urban Outfitters to check out their "Boutique" floor. Ya you know it... many flights of stairs later you're at the top where the good stuff is hiding. And what did I find? THE tie-dye dress! Yes the infamous Teen Voguette Karen Walker tie-dye dress! Needless to say I suddenly pictured wearing this everyday of the summer and then some with all current footwear and layering pieces. It seemed like it might just be the perfect piece. Oh ya - except that it was a UK12 (which I'm not). And it's last season - so acutally it doesn't really exist anywhere anymore. Argh. Another DIY??

Tie-Dye Denim Please!

The one thing I really thought I would find in either Paris or London was a fantastic pair of tie-dye jeans. I know I could DIY them... but I don't feel like destroying any of my Acne's right now. I would settle on either light blue based or black. Come on you fashion addicts - lead me to them!

Iron Maiden by Mario Testino

Sprinting through Heathrow yesterday I grabbed the new issue of British Vogue for a little in-flight entertainment. New pretty spring goods... ho hum and then WHAM! 12 full pages of Daria Werbowy shot by Mario Testino with enough Givenchy, Balmain, Tom Binns, and Margeila to make your head spin. Love the gladiator meets teddy-boy feel. Sequin blazers, leather and studs oh boy.

Cheap Monday's on a Thursday

Wow. What an epic trip. I feel like I've been away forever. I'm feeling slightly out of the loop blogging wise... apologies. I'll try to update all of you lovelies over the next couple of days. Anyhoo - last leg of my trip was 3 manic days in London. Lovely friend M was nice enough to get us some mad hook-ups for a few London Fashion Week parties. Cheap Mondays had a little get-together at Behave in Soho... with 50 pairs of limited editions customized Cheap Mondays up for sale for £40! I. Really. Wanted. A. Pair. Unfortunately they didn't want to take them off the ceiling that night and they were only up for sale the next day. If I was you and I lived in London...

I See London, I See France...

How is it February already!? I blinked and missed January and I have the feeling that I'm about to miss February too. My bags are once again packed and I'm taking off for 2 weeks in Paris and London (for work), with a small vacation in the middle. Apologies for my recent crappy blogging efforts - I promise to say hello from the road - hopefully with some fruitful fashion fodder!

Bisous, The Glossy Ed.

PS. Isn't this collage devine? Must add "improve photoshop skills" to my March to-do list!

Janete Friedrich

Wow. After a few seasons of "pretty girls" I'm feeling refreshed by this new Brazilian beauty, Janete. Any bets on how many F09 shows she's going to land? I'm thinking lots!
