Just a peek…

If something has an element that’s somehow different and beautiful, I’ll be drawn to it.
This summer, I’ve been inspired by so many different things, floral prints, sheer, stripes, lace… ugly-pretty. It’s a lot of fun trying out different looks and developing the voice of the shoppe. Since the shoppe started, I’ve noticed a theme in [...]

Twine Warp

Who knew it would take an LA boutique to introduce me to a German designer? Well, during my regular lusting over Creatures of Comfort, I noticed some new cotton jersey/twine shirts. Designed by Boessert/Schorn (who also have several impressive pieces not at CoC) these fringe shirts are really something special… I’m soo wondering why or [...]

You wear it well…

Since opening my shoppe, I often wondered where the clothes go… who the ladies are, how they would wear it. Thanks to the fabulous WendyB, I’ve been able to find the lovely Super Kawaii Mama who bought the Red Leopard cardi.

And I was particularly delighted when Susie Bubble purchased the Faux Fur Bolero… for [...]

I miss my red tube top

I left my red tube top in San Francisco. I used to wear it with this purple wrap dress as some sort of bra. It was shiny, lightweight and well, it worked.
Like nearly all women I have met, I have issues around my… boobs. It doesn’t seem to matter… women with small breasts say they [...]

Beautiful Savage

“Our garments are our drawings, paintings and illustrations - our art. When the Belle Sauvage woman wears our garments, this art comes to life. The woman brings the canvas of art to life, without leaving the everyday streetwear functionality behind”
There is always room for something bold in my wardrobe. I say this thinking about how [...]

Today’s Attire: Comfort, Stripes & Lace

It’s been a while since I’ve worn high heels on a daily basis. A year ago, I was walking around the streets of San Francisco one of my many pairs of heels, no problem. Since my lifestyle has changed, I’m rarely in need of heels, and I’m out of practice. Last week, I went out [...]

Into The Wild

If wigs are going to always look fake, why not work with it? I may have been in the market to buy a fun wig, but now that I see these lovely animal shaped hair hats, my preconceptions about wigs have changed. Japanese Art Director, Nagi Noda created a series of synthetic hair hats each [...]

Devine Calling

If you’re not European, chances are you’ve never seen Eurovision. It’s kind of like the Olympics of pop music, really bad pop music. It’s notoriously campy and filled with Eurotrash blondes and tons of make-up. Ordinarily I’d say catching a song on there that’s halfway good is unusual, but last night was an exception. France’s [...]
