TOM FORD BEVERLY HILLS OPENING

Confession: I AM A TOM FORD STAN! I vaclempt at even the sound of his name I think he's a GENIUS and aspire to adorn my closet with all his creations-ALL.  What better time to debut such a luxe line in BH than during Oscar week(GENIUS!). It was a great turnout for the opening of his Beverly Hills store, lets hope Chicago is on the radar

Shoppers that SHOP

Very intersting article in today's Wall Street Journal:

A Peek Inside the Closets of Shoppers Who Pay Full Price for Designers' Latest Runway Looks

After Ana Pettus, a 42-year-old mother who lives in Dallas, watched a gold minidress with a plunging, fringed V-neck go down the runway at the Balmain show in Paris last year, she knew she had to have it.  She bought the piece—she wears it as a tunic instead of a dress—along with three others from the fall 2010 collection at the Paris boutique of the luxury French fashion house. Price tag: €55,150, or about $74,000.
