Ann Demeulemeester at Barneys NY
I have always admired the work of Belgian designer Ann Demeulemeester, with her consistent commitment to a dark aesthetic. I managed to snag this military inspired Black wool and silk Gilet with antiqued brass buttons on sale at Barneys NY. The vintage romantic mood and amazing cut conjured images of medieval knights. I was convinced that the it would be a versatile classic to add to my wardrobe. The drapey fabric is perfect over a t-shirt, sweater or even a tailored button down shirt. This unique layering piece feels right under a blazer, leather jacket or long coat. The funnel neck is cleverly lined in the most luxurious silk.

Barneys on SALE: Rick Owens
I have recently become enamored with Rick Owens. His unapologetic goth style appeals to my color weary eyes this Fall/Winter season. I'm living in dark neutrals. Barneys just had the first designer markdown (40% off) and I scored two long sleeve knit t-shirts and a knit hat. The first t-shirt is in Black ribbed rayon/silk that I wrote about here. The other in a shade that only Rick Owens could dub "Bitter" in all cotton with an asymmetrical back seam. The Grey ribbed knit hat is merino wool, baby alpaca and nylon, is feather light and arrived just in time for December weather. Thanks Brenda for all your help.

Finn Large Mako Necklace at Barneys NY

I want this gold shark's tooth pendant by Finn. A sculptural organic form that reminds me of an actual shark's tooth pendant I had as a teenager. I might prefer it on a thin gold chain, though. Maybe I've been watching too much True Blood.
Available here. $975 USD.

Burberry Brit Cropped Pea Coat

One of my favorite coats of all time is my Prada Navy cropped pea coat from Pre-Fall 2009. Prada repeated the silhouette in Black for Fall 2010. Now that the shape has gone more mainstream, it is showing up in less lofty brands like Burberry Brit. A great piece that will update your Fall wardrobe instantly.
Available at Barneys. $795 USD.

Gaga's Workshop at Barneys New York Holiday 2011
Barneys New York announced their Holiday 2011 campaign: GAGA’S WORKSHOP. A unique collaboration with Lady Gaga, the campaign brings together renowned creative talents including artists, Eli Sudbrack and Christophe Hamaide Pierson of Assume Vivid Astro Focus (AVAF), and Mugler Creative Director and Lady Gaga Fashion Director, Nicola Formichetti, to create Lady Gaga’s interpretation of the iconic Santa’s Workshop.
For the first time ever, Barneys New York will convert an entire floor of its Madison Avenue flagship in New York City into a dedicated space for Holiday 2011. Starting in mid-November, GAGA’S WORKSHOP will be brought to life throughout the fifth floor of the Men’s Store at the Madison Avenue flagship, and will also be represented in the store’s Madison Avenue windows.
Working with the Barneys New York team under the direction of creative director Dennis Freedman, AVAF has designed the signature artwork for GAGA’S WORKSHOP, which will also be featured on special holiday shopping bags and packaging. Known for their visually spectacular and multimedia installations, AVAF’s work will be seen throughout GAGA’S WORKSHOP in the Madison Avenue flagship store, in the Madison Avenue windows, as well as through the various materials and products created in conjunction with this project.
Barneys New York has worked closely with Lady Gaga under the creative direction of Nicola Formichetti to design a range of exclusive, limited-edition, small gift items, which will be available for a limited time only at GAGA’S WORKSHOP. In addition to GAGA’S WORKSHOP in New York, a selection of items from the collection will also be available at Barneys New York locations nationwide and online at Barneys.com.
Barneys New York will donate 25% of sales from all items featured in GAGA’S WORKSHOP to a charity of Lady Gaga’s choice in honor of this special program and in the spirit of the holiday season.
Yves Saint Laurent Fall 2011 Tweed Blouson

I love the casual attitude of a blouson, but often the tailoring is a bit blah. However, this sharply tailored tweed version from Yves Saint Laurent Fall 2011 is just right when a leather jacket or a blazer don't fit the bill.
Available at Barneys NY. $1495 USD.

Céline Horizontal Cabas
My new fall bag: the Celine Horizontal Cabas in Navy Blue suede with saddle leather handles. I adore the deep saturated blue shade and the subtle branding in gold. I prefer the proportions of this bag to the classic Celine Cabas, which I find too vertical. The suede, which I believe is calfskin, is a bit more structured than the classic lambskin. The handles are also a bit longer, with a wider stance, making it more shoulder friendly. Finished with one interior zipped pocket for convenience. The timeless shape and color are forever chic.
16" x 13" x 7.5". Available at Barneys NY.
Burberry Prorsum Fall 2011 Fair Isle
