SHOE ENVY: Balenciaga Embossed Carreaux Stiletto Low Boots

Edited by

At first glance, the black and white ankle grid on these Balenciaga stiletto boots appears an illusion. Is that background or supple white calfskin leather? With a Lady James Bondage kind of feel, this pair is a little sexier than your average shoe. A pointed toe is complemented in the back by a zip closure fastened by press studs. A goatskin lining ensures your foot never wants to leave its new home.

"Looking for Carole"

Edited by

After Watching the James Bond movie “For Your Eyes Only” this weekend, it came to mind that I hadn’t seen or heard much of the gorgeous French model and actress Carole Bouquet in recent years. Not only did she gain popularity for her acting, but is also well known as one of the “faces of Chanel,” appearing in several Chanel No 5 ads in the 90′s. Featured is one of my favorite “Chanel pictures”…..she’s a classic vision, clad in vibrant red accented by gold jewelry….what a beauty! I also ran across the pictures of her at Cannes in 2005 wearing that stunning jeweled coat and knew that I must add those as well. While I’ll always associate her with Chanel, I will never forget her starring role as “Melina Havelock.”

Lock and Load: Bulletproof Clothing

Edited by

Lock and Load: Bulletproof ClothingLock and Load: Bulletproof ClothingUnless your name is James Bond, you’re a member of the Italian mafia or you live in Compton, California, I really find no use to own bulletproof clothing. Oh yes, bulletproof vests are a thing of the past with Miguel Caballero’s new line of bullet-resistant menswear. From leather jackets, to tuxedo shirts and from rain coats to polos, the Columbian clothing line can revert the piercing capabilities of a bullet into a mere “punch.” 

But please, don’t get delusional. If you don’t own a multi-million dollar estate where others can reap the benefits and you aren’t some high falutin  political figure, chances are that nobody wants to kill you. Ok, so you’re not as high on the food chain as you may think, but at least it will save you $7000 on bulletproof coat! 

For those of you who still think you are “special” enough to own bulletproof clothing, remember these few things.

-A bulletproof tuxedo isn’t going to save you from a rocket-launcher. Bulletproof or not, you’re a goner.

-If you get shot in the face, it isn’t Miguel Caballero’s problem.
