Hello Autumn, goodbye Valentino
Autumn. I am so glad you are here (almost). I have been waiting for 5 months to bring out my boots, tights, chunky sweaters and hats, and now the time is almost here! If only it wasn't 95 degrees out. Anyway, we've been a little quieter than usual here at bon bon, waiting for the heat to let up, but now we are starting to gear up for our favorite season! First and Foremost, out with the old! American Apparel is 40% off, and with a variety of styles from dresses to tanks to long sleeve shirts, it is definitely a good time to stock up. As for the new, we are starting off with a new pair of delicious shoes from Irregular Choice. They are tasty little shoes with a little luxury in the form of a pink jeweled buckle right on top. $106.00. We also have some new fall dresses in, A-lines in mixed patterns and colors. Just right for making that transition to the new more body conscious silhouette (goodbye Trapeze Dress). And of course there will be new bags, more shoes, and some great new jewelry--all in good time. 
I would like to now bid a fond farewell to Valentino who has just announced today that he is stepping down as head designer from his company that he founded in 1960. It has not been announced who will take his place, but it will be a hard one to fill. I hope that they continue as one of the few houses who still show haute couture. It is a dying art, and one that Valentino has done well over the years.

Hello Kitty Keeping the Peace?
Ok, so this really doesn't have anything to do with anything, but as a major Hello Kitty fan I was interested, and slightly disturbed...
BANGKOK (AP) — Thai police officers who break rules will be forced to wear hot pink armbands featuring "Hello Kitty," the Japanese icon of cute, as a mark of shame, a senior officer said Monday.
Police officers caught littering, parking in a prohibited area, or arriving late — among other misdemeanors — will be forced to stay in the division office and wear the armband all day, said Police Col. Pongpat Chayaphan. The officers won't wear the armband in public.
The striking armband features Hello Kitty sitting atop two hearts.
"Simple warnings no longer work. This new twist is expected to make them feel guilt and shame and prevent them from repeating the offense, no matter how minor," said Pongpat, acting chief of the Crime Suppression Division in Bangkok.
"(Hello) Kitty is a cute icon for young girls. It's not something macho police officers want covering their biceps," Pongpat said.
He said police caught breaking the law will be subject the same fines and penalties as any other members of the public.
"We want to make sure that we do not condone small offenses," Pongpat said, adding that the CSD believed that getting tough on petty misdemeanors would lead to fewer cases of more serious offenses including abuse of power and mistreatment of the public by police officers.
Hello Kitty, invented by Sanrio Co. in 1974, has been popular for years with children and young women. The celebrity cat adorns everything from diamond-studded jewelry, Fender guitars and digital cameras to lunch boxes, T-shirts and stationery. USA Today

Tatty Devine
So, whilst browsing through favorite pictures that I have saved forever, I came across one of my favorite collections ever, the Autumn 2003/4 Tatty Devine collection, shown in London. As far as I know this was their only apparel collection they have showed, as they are mainly jewelry designers (check out http://www.tattydevine.com/) I'm only showing a portion of the show, you can see it all if you go to http://www.vogue.co.uk/, and find them under shows under Autumn 2003/4. It just makes me so happy to look at it!
