Slightly worried by whatever it is disappearing out of the right of the photo.. what is it?? an over-cooked lobster? some kind of giant London cockroach? Does she know it’s there? did anyone tell her??

Hasn’t anyone heard about the giant insects that are replacing miniature dogs as the accessory du jour? I heard Paris named hers Eeeewww.
I love the convertable-ness of her jacket – the whole bottom zips off right? I’ve been wondering how the whole giant hardware look works with these bags – everything else needs to be pretty understated huh? I’ll have to go to Tarjay boutique and see what’s going on. Great look.

Oh, Sart, I hope you were a gentleman and saved her from this would-be purse snatcher of a beetle. He must have been a tricky sucker, not to mention terrifying, what with his ability to suspend himself in midair. But we all believe in you.
Sart to the rescue!

Ladies and gentlemen, we have only this picture, but what we’ve seen speaks for itself. London has been taken over – conquered, if you will – by a master race of giant style ants. It’s difficult to tell from this vantage point whether they will consume the captive British or merely enslave them. One thing is for certain, there is no stopping them; the ants will soon be here. And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords. I’d like to remind them that as a trusted arbiter of style, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.
