All Sorts of Boys + Girls – The latest Barney’s Mailer is the new erotica – and I have the *hard evidence* to prove it. I’ve included a couple of the more enticing pages below – and wonder if I, too, will be felt up by a hot model if I buy this sweater.
Or maybe if I wear these $75 VPL panties and hang upside down, I’ll have a shot at this androgynous model? Regardless, all these erotic images in the mailer beg one very important question. Where do I sign up!?
Did fashion ever look this delicious? You’ll be a believer when you flip through the entire Barneys Mailer here. Let me know if you’d like a *hard copy* and I’ll send one to the first few to comment. Enjoy and I’ll leave you with a peek at their recent video from Fashion’s Night Out.
Barneys New York Co-Op: Funny Alexander Wang Display {enlarge}
Turn it ON and ON and ON - So much great texture at Barneys New York in Beverly Hills today. Alexander Wang’s display made me laugh out loud and his ocean blue leather bags were on fire. His Barney’s exclusive Rocco mini duffle bag was on hold for a customer, his Diego bucket bag was fondled twice while I was trying some jewelry, and then I gasped over this Darcy Hoboand this Brenda washed shoulder bag. I’m also gaga for L’Agence lately, especially this very femme blouse. In the store, they had intentionally dressed a mannequin wearing the shirt backward – and it worked! (That would be akin to buying two shirts in one, right? Um, right)?
Nikki B's simple friendship bracelets are on the right. {enlarge}
I am also nutty for these affordableNikki B friendship bracelets, composed of either tiny glass beads or crimp beads sliding on silk threads. I picked up the olive color a couple weeks ago that I’ve been wearing non-stop and think they would make perfect gifts. Did you know Barneys has a blog? It’s true and here, Carrie Chapman, Senior Buyer for CO-OP Accessories, says Nikki B lives in a “tree house” in Chile. (Don’t worry, it’s a nice “tree house” that’s been featured in Dwell magazine). Fortunately, there will always be way too much great Barneys loot to cover for one story, so please look for future Best of Barneys posts, stylespotting my favorite designers, discoveries and accessories.

Denim Delirium - Wow. I saw someone wearing R13 Denim over the weekend and they’d be really hard to describe if I hadn’t found this photo. The girl I spotted was wearing their asymmetrical capris and pumps, but also had a sweatshirt jacket tucked in. It was an oxymoron that somehow worked. I happened to breeze past them at Barneys New York at The Groveand just had to try them on (and ok, I just had to videotape them, too, but we’ll talk about that later). FIT: On a shorter Amer-Asian, they weren’t as appealing on the lady hips as on the androgynous model, but they gave me a rump and I’m convinced a size bigger will work. FABRIC: The Turkish denim is so comfortable and the jeans are made in Italy. FROM: If you’re one to keep track of these things, they say the designer’s identity has been withheld and that he/she will be revealed shortly – and that Ralph Lauren is one of the suspects. If you happen to try a pair, please snap a pic for us and here’s a short video of DENIM PORN: CLICK HERE to see the VIDEO
