Karl Lagerfeld Vision Of President Obama: Biggest Chef In The World

I’m usually not sensitive to whatever Karl Lagerfeld says. In time, I grew accustomed to his weird wisdom and weird perspective over anything and everything. However, I do think Lagerfeld’s drawing (using Shu Uemura makeup, as reported by wwd) for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (a German newspaper) of President Barack Obama on the morning of his election win has serious offensive potential. What do you think of Chef Obama serving the White House cake as sketched by Lagerfeld?

Fall Boots You Need: Marc By Marc Jacobs Suede Chelsea Boots

My dahlings? Do you think there’s such a thing as fear of high heels? Because I’m going through a weird moment and the best I can come up with to describe it is ‘high heels phobia’. Not that I was towering heights all day every day as it was.

If I were to talk about some important ‘fashion’ lessons I learned in my life until now, comfy shoes would be among the first topics. Comfortable, as opposed to beautiful, is not happening in your head. Comfortable is a sum of comfy factors characterizing you from the tip of your toes to that split end you’re trying to seal in a careless bun atop of your pretty head! So right now, I’m in need of some comfy shoes to finish my comfortable look I started with a comfy new haircut…

And the way I figured it, Chelsea Boots have my name written all over their comfy sole! Marc by Marc Jacobs Chelsea boots come in three different colors, all suede (I love suede – who doesn’t love suede?) of which I tend to favor the sand and the emerald green ones. ($395, currently available through BarneysNY)

Get Ready For THe H & M Beckham Christmas Pajama Party!

It would appear that the very intimate capsule collection signed by David Beckham for H & M was pretty successful.

Better get those Christmas morning pajamas checked on that Christmas gifts list, huh? {hypebeast}

Scarlett Johansson’s Hitchcock V Magazine Psycho Cover

With the launch of Hitchcock in mind, the talented people at V Magazine hired Jean Paul Goude to do an amazing cover. Scarlett Johansson – who’s playing Janet Leigh in the Sasha Gervasi directed Hitchcock project is really unrecognizable in the cover image.

Which is good, right? That means she’s very into character (the film revolves around the legendary 1959 Psycho). And I like that JP Goude didn’t capitalize on her blond voluptuous beauty like so many before him. And that’s just the idea of a ‘Girl Power’ issue (as announced by the cover titles).

If it were up to me, I’d say this V Magazine Winter 2012 issue is a great one, just by judging the cover alone. We’ll see if I’m right. (until now, we only got word of Rihanna & Kate Moss getting all cozy, which wasn’t all that good)

Daniel Craig’s James Bond Wears Tom Ford Sunglasses In Skyfall

My dahlings? Have you seen the latest James Bond? Skyfall? You know we talked about it earlier, discussing the Bond Girls Red Carpet dresses and Bond’s jacket? If you haven’t had the pleasure of watching the latest adventures of the best British field agent, you shouldn’t be late! 007 is worth every cent!

As you know, Daniel Craig’s suits for this James Bond: Skyfall movie were specifically tailored by the one and only Tom Ford. But did you notice the sunglasses worn by James Bond in some of the Skyfall scenes? It wouldn’t surprise you to find out that Daniel Craig was wearing Tom Ford Sunglasses as Skyfall’s James Bond! (it sounds like a tradition, since in the Bond’s Quantum of Solace, Craig was wearing – of course – Tom Ford sunglasses).

Alessandra Ambrosio And Her Daughter Do London Fog Ads

You think it’s too soon to talk about Alessandra Ambrosio after yesterday’s VS overload? I tried to keep it minimal, though… Here’s the thing: remember when London Fog caused a stir by photoshopping (out) Gisele Bundchen’s baby bump? They’ve come a long way: now they’re doing mother – daughter ads with Alessandra Ambrosio and her cute daughter, Anja. Past sins forgiven and forgotten! {modelinia}

Brad Pitt Furniture: Would You Buy A $45,000 Chair?

Everybody has to have a hobby, right? So while I’m all about making headbands for my precious girl, some just go for the moon. And they pretty much get away with it too!

By now, we all heard about Brad Pitt’s foray into furniture design. His Pitt Pollaro brand will be launched officially on November 11th. That’s in days from now, so might as well keep an eye out on their website, here. What you’ll find there? If we’re to believe Architectural Digest: $45,000 chairs and more. Yes. You’re reading it right: you can pay for a Pitt chair the same amount of money a decent SUV will cost you!

So my question would be: if you could (clearly, it’s not on everyone’s alley to buy side tables with 24k gold finishes as designed by Pitt), would you buy furniture designed by an actor, or would you rather buy established furniture makers names? (I’d go for the latter, unless he proves that his furniture pieces are made of Kryptonite or some other precious-nite!)

Weirdest Earring & Brooch

I can’t really put my finger on these. I usually go for the audacious and innovative jewelry design. But this? You have to wear the personality before getting to the jewelry details. The spaghetti ear earring and the cigarettes brooch look really odd and unattractive. But this young lady pulls the look pretty decently, to my surprise! Oh, and do check out the suspenders attached to her dress. Have you ever seen something similar? {Tokyofashion}
