[London Calling] ALL OF THE LIGHTS courtesy of Brian Litchtenberg


On the Queen: Brian Lichtenberg Gold Geo Glitter Shift Dress, YSL Trib Too High Heel Pump in Red Suede. On Lelah: Brian Lichtenberg Black / Silver Patchwork Glitter Dress, YSL Palais High Heel Pump in Black Patent Leather and YSL Arty Oval Ring with Black Stone

Hello lovelies! I apologize for the disappearance but I've just returned from an unforgettable trip to London. I've always wanted to visit and when a recent opportunity arose to do so, I practically flew out of the door. 
 
I scored my Brian Lichtenberg Gold Geo Glitter Shift Dress from one of the many London shopping meccas Selfridges. Selfridges was quite possibly, the largest luxury department store that I've ever seen, boasting several floors and levels of everything from All Saints to Balenciaga. While there, I assisted my international travel buddy Lelah with her first luxury dress selection. For her petite figure, I went with the Brian Lichtenberg Black / Silver Patchwork Glitter Dress. The Patchwork Glitter Dress was perfect thanks to the one strong shoulder and mixed textures, which emphasized her tiny frame. As for me, it should come as no surprise that I selected a dress that emphasized what else, my legs! I paired my dress with a pair of tomato red suede YSL pumps, the perfect compliment for black and gold. The only criticism I had of the above Brian Litchtenberg designs was the shedding. We practically left a trail of glitter everywhere we went!

And if you're wondering about my English Geisha, she was our hostess for the late evening. She made sure that we were not only well-entertained but properly full with champagne and cocktails. Believe me, a lot of confessions were made on that glitter covered dance floor.

[If I were a rich girl] The Queen's Dream Wish list 

The Queen's Wishlist

MY TEN PICKS FOR A FANTASY CHRISTMAS

I'm a firm believer in the philosophy, "If you're going to dream, dream big," so I did with this little fantasy Christmas Wish list. I'll be following up shortly with more affordable holiday gift ideas, but for now, dream with me in the land of luxury. 
  1. Dannijo Bea Necklace: It is no secret that I'm thoroughly obsessed with Dannijo.  The Bea would be an excellent addition to my humble but colorful jewelry collection as a transition piece from day to evening. 
  2. Dannijo Sinatra Necklace: Yet another fantastic piece from Dannijo for the Peter Pan collar aficionado. 
  3. YSL Beastie Ring: I love that semi-precious stone is being held in what appears to be talons. Rings with animalistic accents are always a winner in my book.
  4. Christian Louboutin Bibi 140 Suede Platform Pumps: Those pumps are not only classic but quite versatile, thanks to the nude color. 
  5. Prada Butterfly Sunglasses: Although those particular Prada sunglasses are from an older season, they are still classic, especially for someone with my particular head shape and size. Unfortunately, I don't believe that they're in production anymore. 
  6. YSL Tribute Sandals in Python: PETA is going to hate me for that one. I just noticed that somehow, that sandal dropped from the thousands to the hundreds -- talk about a recession special!
  7. Kara Ross Small Shirt Cuff: PETA is going to hate me for that one as well. I'm pretty sure that Ross uses lizard skin but I wouldn't lose sleep over that bracelet. 
  8. Celine Luggage Tote: The tote speaks for itself.
  9. Antik Batik Lisa Sequin Dress: I randomly came across the Lisa dress on sale somewhere months ago. Since then, I've been dying to get my hands on her -- she'd be perfect for New Years Eve (not that I have any plans). 
  10. Chanel Jumbo Flap: As if I even need to tell you, person on a fashion blog, why I want/need that bag.
