GILTy Purchase: Dior on the Door

Fluorescent Palace takes fashion labels to the street with art pieces combining iconic names with graffiti

And child, I need this Dior piece on Gilt right now

Marni for $44 at GILT Right Now

Marni is one of my favorite labels and right now GILT is showcasing this little sass-a-ma-tass leather and feather brooch

And at $44 you best believe I have me eyes set on you, my pretty. Imagine this high street Robin Hood flare on your lapel and you got one conversation started for all Summer gallery openings and weddings. Yeah, I'm that tacky guy who shows up to your wedding with an attention grabber.

(Marni leather, acrylic and feather brooch, $44 at Gilt.com)

Brian Atwood Art Deco Resin Minaudière for GILT

Brian Atwood's glamorous, sky high heels have long been touted in stylist's circles, leaving us waiting for his first foray past footwear.

Now he's dipped his toe in the water with an exclusive bag line on GILT that features watersnake clutches and Art Deco minaudières galore. This little stunner is my personal fave

Impractical and exclusive, this is the pert pictorial pick me up for a sluggish lunchtime (today is dragggging!)

(Brian Atwood 'Iside' resin and metal minaudière, $1,850 exclusive at Gilt.com, http://www.gilt.com/sale/women/brian-atwood-handbag/product/139526678-brian-atwood-iside-minaudi-re)

Emmy Rossum's Shameless Side Job

Turns out Emmy Rossum is GILTy of some shameless side gigs, blatantly shilling dead stock Marni cashmere sweaters for Gilt on the not so sly

GILTy Purchase: Scary Rich!

GILT has a whole Halloween series of goodies to buy up and while this little skull candle set needs to be added to the everyday gothic library that is Stately Grand Street Manor

(Gift set of five 2 1/4 inch wax skull candles, D.L. & Co., $28 at Gilt.com)

this Rococo dressing table gives my wallet the heebie-jeebies

(French provincial style mahogany dressing table, Fabulous and Baroque, $1,350 + $175 delivery fee at Gilt.com)

$1,350 for a Repo Roco?! That's like that time Michael Jackson blew a televised wad on "high end" Pier 1 Imports. Spooky!

GILTy Purchase: Anarchy in the Flash Sales!

GILT suggests offsetting this Leslie Danzis faux leather cuff with a simple cotton sundress or crisp tee.

I dunno about the sundress, but for the tee might I suggest one straight from the 

Hot Topic 

With perhaps the Sex Pistols or Misfits on it? 

(Also available in black. Of course.)

(Leslie Danzis Resin Druzy and Faux Leather Cuff, $39 at WWW.Gilt.com)

GILTy Purchase: Seperated at Birth?

 

Dolce and Gabbana "Structured Wedge" (hmm... really?)

The Rabbit wine opener

Cuz who doesn't want a shoe resembling a corkscrew?

(Satin structured wedge, Dolce and Gabbana, $299 at www.gilt.com)

(The Rabbit bottle opener, Metrokane, $50 at www.rabbitandfriends.com)

Does Rob Zombie Still Make Music Videos?

Because GILT just posted a harem of Cesare Paciotti shoes that just scream Satan's Bordello

Can't you just picture it? 

This one below is my personal favorite, but alas it's sold out. Dommage pour toi!

(The fleur de lis makes it classy!)

GILTy Purchase: Scratch Britt Ekland off Your Christmas Shopping List

This Lulu Frost necklace on GILT right now is named after "The Man with the Golden Gun" Bond girl, 'Mary Goodnight' 

played by my favorite Swede and former Mrs Peter Sellers, Britt Ekland

And if you're looking for the perfect gift for me the above autographed photo of Ms Ekland, Maud Adams and Roger Moore would go right on my wall across from my bed to remember to always be "an assassin that's second to none"

("Mary Goodnight" brass and resin necklace, lulu Frost, $150 at www.gilt.com)

GILTy Purchase: Down with D.L.

This candle by D.L. and Co. seems intriguing and nothing to be ashamed of:  fragrance notes of gin, pipe tobacco and wood craft a scent that brings to life the "Speak Easy" moniker and should not be kept on the sly

(Speak Easy scented candle, Historical Modern Alchemy by D.L. & Co., $24 at www.gilt.com)

GILTy Purchase: Hardest Button to Button

I dig trompe l'oeil and I really dig buttons just for buttons' sake. Something wonderful about an accent that should be functional but is merely ornamental















These Baron Wells button shaped cuff links fit the bill nicely. I mean how sharp would these look with a charcoal or navy suit? A little dash of daring in an office of drab

Now if only I wore cuff links....

(Horn and sterling silver button cuff links, Baron Wells, $42 at www.gilt.com)

GILTy Purchase: Care for a Game of Coquette?

These Cynthia Rowley tights on Gilt right now have an "after I do a can-can you can buy me an absinthe" look to them

And I like that look!

(2 pack sheer nylon tights with knit detail, Cynthia Rowley, $29 at www.gilt.com)

GILTy Purchase: It's Gettin' Kinda Hectic

Everyone claims I've got a sassy black girl side. So I obviously need an "oh snap!" necklace!

(Silver plated "SNAP" necklace, Chris Habana, $88 at www.gilt.com)

GILTy Purchase: I Love Magritte, but....

This Areaware mirror on GILT right now has a major Renee Magritte vibe going on, which I love.

But the day to day inability to actually see myself, my whole self (ie: the whole point of a mirror), would make this an early morning rage hazard.

(Half mirror, designed by Paul Loebach for Areaware, $70 at http://www.gilt.com/) 

GILTy Purchase: Axe Your Momma How She Doin'

When I was in middle school, my mom's husband at the time taught me to axe throw. And turns out I'm surprisingly adept!

Now I can start back up since GILT is selling designer axes and their carrying cases.

(Leather and brass axe sling, Best Made Co., $145 at http://www.gilt.com/)

GILTy Purchase: Last Blast of Chill

This denim jacket is what I need right now with this last blast of chill taking over the city this past week.

And I love how the smart contrasting white buttons and double breast give it a little nautical touch.

(Denim double-breasted jacket, Reiss, $118 at http://www.gilt.com/)

GILTy Purchase: Tennis Anyone?

This Cynthia Rowley sweater on GILT right now is totally Aces! Soft and graphic and cute, cute, cute.

I love that the pattern weaves its way onto the back.













(Cashmere blend short sleeev sweater, Cynthia Rowley, $149 at http://www.gilt.com/)

GILTy Purchase: Where there's smoke

I love this but wonder how much everyone is bumping prices up since Mr McQueen's untimely death cuz this price point seems high for a piece from a few seasons ago.

I'm just saying.



(Cotton dress shirt with smoke screen print, Alexander McQueen, $278 at http://www.gilt.com/)

GILTy Purchase: Lime Aid

Chartreuse and schmutz proof nylon? Two wins in my book but add a weird shadowy white prop hand and I'm sold.


(Nylon zip tote, Adidas SLVR, $78 at gilt.com)

GILTy Purchase

GILT got some good ladies Trovata ish on Sale right now. Damn you ladies and your always on point sales. -sigh-






("Van Ness" Wool Blend Cape, available in Grey and Camel, Trovata, $149 at Gilt.com)















(100% Cotton A-Line Skirt, available in Red and Navy, Trovata, $69 at Gilt.com)












And I particularly love this play on words. Intentional???? The dress, however, I'm a bit 'meh' on.


("Temptation" Faille Dress, available in Black and Teal, Trovata, $129 at Gilt.com)
