I am endlessly fascinated with British designer Gareth Pugh, whose clothing designs are primarily for aliens or for earthlings from a post-apocalyptic future and occasionally mind-boggling in their weirdness. He's also designed a
fragrance, which is not nearly so odd, and which I like a great deal.
His Spring 2010 collection is maybe not as far out as in past seasons, but it has its moments.
See? Rather calm, nothing bizarre.
Why does the song "Car Wash" pop into my head when I look at this ensemble for men?
I'm not sure if the shrug-like jacket is part of the whole, or a separate piece.
Chicken-Woman from Space in artfully vented pants.
It's kinda hard to see any of this as "ready-to-wear."
Ohh...I know Mr Minx is going to put himself on the waiting list for this little number!
More vents. I kinda like this and would wear it if I were skinny. And weird.
This is perhaps the most ordinary piece in the whole collection. Somewhat Dr Seuss, but wearable.
Swamp Thing!
Bride of Swamp Thing!
I think the hat is a great way to go incognito. Lindsay, Britney, and the rest should really look into it.
Today I'm wearing Chanel No. 5 Eau Premiere. When I wrote my original thoughts on the scent, I had scored a gratis mini from the Chanel SA at Nordstrom and was contemplating a full-bottle purchase. I even had enough Nordie's gift cards to cover it. Fortunately, I found a 90% full bottle online for about $45 less than retail. Oh the joys of being a perfumista and knowing where to look for bargains! :)

Today I'm wearing Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire. I know some perfumistas turn their noses up at this one, but I love it. It's a nice cherry/almond and tea scent that starts off lemony. I think it smells expensive, yet youthful, and it's far better - to my nose - than Guerlain's recent commercial offering Insolence.
