Hi, kids! Sorry for the lack of posts, but what with the holidays and Black Friday and the weather changing and extra leaves on the ground. . . ok, so there is no real excuse and we feel bad but what’s the point in beating ourselves up? We’re only human. (Super-cute humans, but still.) Never mind that–we’re back with a super-fab outfit we found  from Need Supply, nay, not an outfit but when paired with a 1969 BMW 2002 that you’ll be zipping down Highway 1 along the Big Sur Coastline in, AN ENTIRE LIFESTYLE. Vvvvroooom, let’s get to it!

First thing–pants:

Angel Knee Jeans by Maise $195

The amazing insets at the knee give these jeans an unexpected eye-catching appeal. Though I think if you are on your knees a lot, “Angel” would be a misnomer. Har.

A leather jacket is a staple this or any other season. Faux leather has come a long way, baby, with improvements in texture and touch, so much so, that you can’t tell the difference much of the time. Check out the faux leather jacket below:

Crop Moto Jacket $58

The adorable cut and modern take on motorcycle styling (not to mention the price!) makes this a must-have. At least I must have it. (Maybe because I have a shopping addiction, but that’s a subject for another post.)

Driving gloves are a must-have if you actually plan on driving, but cute cutoff gloves will do just as well.

Doubs Gloves by Free People $28

These adorable wool blend gloves come in grey (my favorite, because apparently, I’m scared of color), red, and black. How cute are the buttons! They’re as cute as a button. Sorry.

For the pièce de résistance, you must get a 2002 BMW.

To get a little philosophical on you folks (we’re not just superficial fashion-obsessed, extremely stylish young ladies, you know), fashion should fit your lifestyle, complement it and enrich it. Fashion cannot live in a vacuum, but must have activities and endeavors to feed it. Therefore, we’re about to troll Craigslist for BMW 2002s right now to go with our Doubs gloves. Au revoir!!

Duncan Quinn, British master of the bespoke shirt and suit, is bringing his brilliance to the Fashion Dinner Series at Cipriani Wall Street.

Quinn, known for his masterfully tailored suits and shirts and cute shop in Nolita, remains committed to making the roguish man in your life respectable looking.

We love, love, love the exquisite tailoring of Quinn’s work and are strangely turned on by the controversial ad below.

Is the woman dead? Is it some kinky sex game? Let’s hope it’s the latter. Either way, we’ll be at the fashion show dinner to find out!

This amazing photo of a dolled up Marc Jacobs is featured in the new book by Francois Nars called 15×15 to celebrate Nars’ 15th anniversary.

The book will sell for only 30 days beginning today at 15×15project.com

Saks Fifth Avenue unveiled the new third floor Louis Vuitton boutique with a garden party extraordinaire, replete with celeb hosts (Maggie Gyllenhaal and Daniel Lalonde, CEO of LV North America) and vignettes featuring the history of LV nestled among LV Damier pattern lawns and magical trees. We practically expected garden gnomes decked out in the LV monogram to jump out at us from under the tables and out of the fabulously displayed bags!

Nicole Richie’s come a long, long way  since her days on the Simple Life with former bff, Paris Hilton. With a baby daddy, daughter and another baby on the way, we can’t figure out how she’s coming out with a clothing line early next year. (I guess not worrying about seed money helps.) She already has her House of Harlow 1960 line of jewelry and footwear, which evokes eclectic vintage style and her new line, Winter Kate does the same. With dreamy chiffon, vintage patterns and pieces that transition seamlessly from bedroom to city streets, this line has us yearning for the days of Almost Famous. Almost. Comes out February 2010.

While wandering around Williamsburg, we discovered Peachfrog–a store that’s a cross between a sample sale and a discount store ala Nordstrom Rack, but cheaper! Prices like $3 for long-sleeve thermal tees and $12 for premium denim slapped us in the faces and boggled our already easily-boggable brains. Not only did they have clothes for men and women, but there were high-end housewares galore, and not the cheapy stuff, either. Apparently, the owner is a long-time liquidator and gets steals and deals from department stores like Saks and Neiman Marcus.

What does that mean for you (and more importantly, us)? Well, for one of us, it meant a boutique-quality distressed leather bag for only $75 and for the other, it meant a Greta Garbo felt hat with requisite feather for only $15! Peachfrog also slings bath and body products, so if you’re in need of some French bubble bath (and seriously, who isn’t?) or a new candle to replace your Diptique one, seriously, check it out!

We always like to brighten up your drab workday with a little bit of crotchless fun! Not only are crotchless panties fun, they also serve an important utilitarian purpose (one that needs no explanation).

Here are some of our favorites!

Frederick’s of Hollywood, cheesy as it may seem, actually had the widest variety. From ruffles to lace, these underthings all had one thing in common, easy access for the girl on the run.

Ruffled Lace Crotchless Hipster Panty

Booty Parlor (a sexy web site that doesn’t make us feel dirty) specializes in romantic accessories and lingerie. We like the panty below with the big, big bow!

Peepshow Princess Crotchless Cheeky Panty

Her Room sells underthings from Leg Avenue, including this butterfly delight for only $5! For that price, you can buy a whole flutter (yes, I looked up the name for a group of butterflies).

Leg Avenue Butterfly Crotchless Thong

For a bit of color and spin on the word “crotchless” we suggest Agent Provocateur’s ouvert series of knickers. Pricey but worth it (and, if you have a problem with the word “crotchless” which I do, you won’t find it anywhere on the site! They refer to a “naughty opening” which has more than one meaning, obv. and har har!)

Jodie Ouvert Brief

With such a selection of naughty underthings available, we suggest wearing them to work as a secret only you and your office affair will know about. Ssssshhhhhhhh!!!

After hearing about the Sonia Rykiel pour H&M line of knitwear, lingerie and accessories, we picked ourselves off the floor and proceeded to use our investigative journalism skills to find out what we could about this collision of high-end French fashion and mass retailer. Sonia Rykiel is gracing the masses with her romantic French sensibility by creating a line that channels vintage in a modern way.  After taking a look at the sneak peek photos, we have to say, this is indeed a marriage made in (lingerie) heaven.

Sonia Rykiel Pour H&M

We ABSOLUTELY ADORE the pale pink color, high-waisted briefs, boning (hehe) and (of course) the garters. Our favorite is the one at the far right. Below, we see nothing wrong with rosettes on the arse and velvet pajama pants. We can imagine any of these would heat up cold winter nights.

Sonia Rykiel Pour H&M

H&M creative advisor Margareta van den Bosch in a statement, ”This is a totally modern, new kind of lingerie look, and when we started to work together with Rykiel on it, we just couldn’t stop.” Can’t stop, won’t stop!

It seems somewhat reminicient of Catherine Deveuve’s “wardrobe” in Belle de Jour:

Catherine Deneuve

The seductive lingerie line will hit 1,500 select H&M shops and Rykiel’s own high-end boutiques on December 5th, and we highly suggest taking the morning off, or else someone else will get your bored-housewife-who-prostitutes-herself-in-the-afternoon lingerie.

While at a recent children’s charity event we were photographed by unassuming party photog Thomas Evans and when we told him we were fashion blogger extraordinaires he slipped us his real card. After we found it in the bottom of one of our clutches a week later and checked it out (the curious cats we are…meow) these photos left us either horny or disturbed, you decide which!
