The Week in Photos

fi120108

Today is the first day of December, so I thought I would introduce what will hopefully become a weekly feature on Fashion Intel – The Week in Pictures.  I’ll show you some of the best fashion moments of my week and give you a glimpse into what inspires me and my blog.

Phuong [pictured above] is a friend I’ve known since high school [she graduated 3rd in her class!] who introduced us to the free tacos at The Gold Room in Echo Park.  Speaking of free, her friend gave her that awesome Marc by Marc Jacobs bow shirt which is accompanied by a pa-pow gold ring.  My boyfriend [of 5 years!] was oh so kind to model this beautiful Phillip Lim cashmere sweater for me at Barneys.  We saw it in men’s while he was looking, and I just died over it.  Those gold buttons are killer, but it was way too long and baggy for me.

If I haven’t said this before on Fashion Intel, I’ll say it now, I LOVE HATS!  I came across this Alexander McQueen hat, and thought to myself – who would truly wear this giant thing?  Made of fox, no less.  Maybe me, if I only wore it at home with nothing else.  Hilarious.  Oh, and those Dries Van Notens were two seconds away from going home with me, had they the right size.  Sheesh.  I might go back to convince myself that they’ll work out.  At half-off, what can I say?

ALL OF THEM WITCHES

The Fashion Intel loves witches [if you already hadn't noticed], both good and bad, so I was so excited to see Hermione in the October issue of Harper’s Bazaar.  To be honest, I was simply excited to see Emma Watson!  I’ve never read any of the Harry Potter books, and probably have only seen two of the films, but I love that there is a fashionable red headed witch in that series.

Emma Watson has proven herself to be one of the youngest fashion plates out there.  Born in 1990, she has impressed magazines both in the U.S. and across the pond.  She looks best when she expresses her affinity for Chanel, lace, and sporting duds from the best U.K. designers.  Considering that tomorrow marks London Fashion Week’s denouement, it is apropos to celebrate these fabulous designers with the girl who has been seated at their runways.

Editor’s Note: I realized that it might be a gaffe to call sweet Hermione a witch, so for those true Harry Potter fans, would it be more appropriate to call her a wizard?
