Having never rode a motorcycle -- nor possessing the desire ever to ride one -- I've never had a motorcycle jacket. But who needs a hog when you've got these marvelous ruffled sleeves that practically yelp "Hell's Angel?"

Finally a man's heel -- 4.5" thank you -- in a man's size -- size 11 or 12, if you're wondering. I've actually worn a pair of these courtesy of one of my tranny friends and while they were literally torture, my legs looked 12 feet tall. And at the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

If there's one staple in my wardrobe, it's a harem pant. But lately I've been wanting more drop-crotch action and this crotch drops all the way to the knees. The closer it looks like I'm wearing a skirt, the better.

Givenchy has long been my favorite, aspirational mens line and these adorable tees are cropping up everywhere. During the winter months, the tropical motif will keep me from abandoning all hope and resigning myself to pajamas and hoodies everyday.

For those inevitable nights out on the town, why not a silk two-tone jumpsuit? It gives the appearance of separates but the comforting freedom that only a one-piece can provide.

I love a fashion book and there's been no fashion book I've wanted more this year than Carine Roitfeld's Irreverent, chronicling the ex editrix-in-chic's life and career.

I'm a proud bag lady and every few months I need to trade in the old for the new. Right now I'm operating with a fuchsia backpack, but this more grown-up messenger bag speaks to the bitter old queen inside of me -- whom most people tend to ignore.

While spending some quality New York bumming in the Meatpacking District this weekend, I stumbled upon a little  boutique by the name of Destination. Though the shop had a wide variety of great fashion accessories, I was immediately drawn to wooden case containing dozens of incredible French-text etched silver rings, bracelets and necklaces.

The designer, Serge Thoraval, got his start in the jewelry business when a fellow jeweler asked for his sowdering assistance in a Yves Saint Laurent accessory collection. Sparking his interest, Thoraval began his own personal collection, Atelier Serge Thoraval, and has since worked with designers Thierry Mugler, Claude Montana, Lanvin Haute Couture and Joseph on collaborations. 

The jewelry itself is industrial and rough but the etched French quotes, collected from various authors, invoke a bit of emotion with their meaning. The best part about Serge Thoraval’s work is that it’s all one of a kind. Each piece is molded, sized and etched by hand, providing complete uniqueness. Honestly, this is some of the best handcrafted work I’ve seen in a while!
