Balenciaga at The Forum Shops
I was walking through Forum Shops at Caesars Palace on Tuesday when I remember seeing a coming soon sign a couple of months back for Balenciaga. They recently opened so I popped in for a visit. I must say the best thing to happen to Balenciaga besides the founder Cristobal Balenciaga is Nicolas Ghesquière. He single handedly put Balenciaga on the mainstream fashion map with his iconic Motorcycle Bag and avant-garde collections that never cease to attract a slew of media attention. Upon entering the store you can’t help but be mesmerized by the asymmetrical and space like architecture. The bags are presented on silo like display tables and eyewear is displayed inside the “iceberg” an accessory fixture. Nicolas Ghesquière developed the concept in a joint partnership with French Artist Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster. Currently Balenciaga has 3 shops in the US; Los Angeles, New York and now Las Vegas.
Is Carine Roitfeld Replacing Anna Wintour?
As you may be aware of Anna Wintour’s contract at Vogue is due to expire at the end of the year. Now rumor has it that she could be possibly replaced by French Vogue Editor Carine Roitfeld. This scene is straight out of The Devil Wears Prada. Now i just hope that Andrea got to her soon enough to warn her. Oh say it ain’t so. Anna no longer at Vogue? She’s been there for 20 years, I know she’s made some bad decisions but her better ones are what kept the magazine alive and thriving.

Daily Lust: Christian Louboutin Alti Leather Pumps
Reasons why Christian Louboutin and I aren’t married is beyond me. No man has ever understood my needs (for shoes) so much. Now if I could pick one style of shoe to wear forever it would be a black pump, specially one that is super tall at least 5 inches. Well that was before The Alti Pumps from Christian Louboutin, which are 6inches in height. Just when i thought he hit his all time high at 5 maybe 5’5inches he went to 6. Die Die Die, I pray to the Lords of fashion that these shoes will come to me in the near future. After all if its one queen that could do these shoes justice it’s me. On the other hand I’m nervous about wearing 6inches. Since I’ve started wearing 5inches I no longer wear anything shorter.

Haute Living: $95 Million Estate in Greenwich, CT
You know Just the other day I woke up and realized that I was badly in need of 22,000 Sq Ft mansion with 14 bedrooms and 13.5 bathrooms, but only if it sits on 40 acres. Obviously I’m kidding ( for right now anyways) but let me introduce you to ” Greenwich, CT 06831″. That’s the location of an enormous compound in Connecticut that probably has it’s own zip code. Connecticut is by no means a modest place, having the most registered Ferrari’s and Lamborghini’s than any other state so a $95 million estate only seems fitting. Let’s take a look at the property’s features:

Word of the Day: Chinchilla
Chinchilla are rodents that are slightly larger than ground squirrels and are native to the Andes mountains in South America. Along with their relatives, viscachas, they belong to the family Chinchillidae.
The animal (whose name literally means “little Chincha“) is named after the Chincha people of the Andes, who wore its soft and dense fur. By the end of the 19th century, chinchillas had become quite rare due to hunting for their fur. Most chinchillas currently used by the fur industry for clothing and other accessories are farm-raised.

“My bathroom is Chanel my bedroom’s Louis Vuitton

I got a Versace couch and pillows I sleep on
With the matching robe and slippers I bed to differ”

Sex and the City Movie Sequel
During an interview with the Daily Express Sarah Jessica Parker confirmed that a sequel is in the works. Unlike Miranda and Charlotte Carrie will not be a mom anytime soon. Sarah Jessica Parker told the Daily Express,
“It doesn’t seem as if that’s going to be a choice she’ll make. I don’t know. Michael [Patrick King, director] and I never talk about it. That doesn’t mean that won’t be part of the story. We just haven’t figured it out. It feels a bit manipulative to toss that into the mix, because she seems so pointed in a different direction.“ …Click to continue reading | Sex and the City Movie Sequel
