COLOR ME VERT PALE!

How cool is the color of this Hermes Birkin from 2004?  It's so cool that I have never seen the color before and do not know it's official name.  Do you?  Figure out the color of this bag and you will get a free signed copy of DECADES: A CENTURY OF FASHION.  In the meanwhile, buy this beauty here

UPDATE: THE COLOR IS CALLED VERT PALE!

IN THE PALE . . .

I love street style snaps. Every season, I'm more psyched to check out who's wearing what to to the shows rather than see the shows themselves. Everyone has a secret guilty pleasure. You may remember SATC Carrie's: eating Saltine crackers smeared with jam while flipping through fashion magazines. My take: huddling over my Macbook with currant crackers and a li'l cheese plate--not that there's anything wrong with jam, I just have a savory tooth, in fact call me the savory toothed tiger--scrolling madly though Tommy Ton, The Sartorialist, Stockholm Street Style (I mean, who doesn't want to move to Sweden? The fashion! But ooooh, the weather. Coming from Cali . . . Hhhhm), but you get the drift.

I love seeing how the editrixes and walking hangers of the world put their pieces together. I love catching a new skirt length, a vintage find, a lace veil, Prada creepers with a little schoolgirl frock, embroidered denim, battered Birkins, underwear-as-outerwear, black must-have moto jackets, Pendleton blankets as cloaks, wild-style prints, Air Walks kicking it with Kirkwoods, girl's with striped ties, boys with striped ties, and all the ifs, ands and buts (literally) in between. If you ask me, the streets are always the spot to clock what's about to happen and if you're going to go on-trend, it's always better to get the first than be the last one at the party, slightly drunk and swaying in the corner to the bleeps and beats of Giorgio Moroder.

So, while looking at Tommy Ton's latest pics for style.com, I couldn't help but notice all my favorite picks were pale beauties: pastel pinks, creams and ivories, sky blues, slate greys, lemon chiffons, mints and lilacs. Going pale is a definite statement-maker, though what you're getting at is subtle nod to the future that's modern and pretty at the same time. You can go monochromatic when it comes to pale colors or throw on a peony flowing skirt with a slashed and burned charcoal tee for a mix and match point.

Personally, I spent the majority of my weekend pulling creamy cable knits crew sweaters, pink ballerina inspired dresses, ice blue button downs, bone colored denim, and banana colored tee out of the depths of my closet to make sure they now hang front and center. Then, I continued my whirlwind excavation here at Decades headquarters, where I pulled my favorite pale pieces for you to enjoy.

Spring is here, the sun is out and about, so why not pull on an icy boucle Chanel® or carry a vintage Germaine Guerin or think pink and go vintage Galanos for your next night out with the girls? Me, I'll be the one in the ivory vintage Galanos gown. Sigh.

Dear Santa, do you make shimmy down chimneys in March? Might be easier on the reindeer. I'm just saying . . .

THE RED BARON BIRKIN

The Birkins keep coming and we keep posting. This simply gorgeous Rouge Birkin in Garance leather and Palladium hardware is 35cm. It is so brand new and it is blind stamped N square which means it is 2010.

The bag speaks for itself, but I will say this. Unlike the typical trend in Birkins, where larger is better, I feel that this bag is such a chic accessory to carry at night. It is the perfect size not too big and not too small, and allows its wearer to ascend to a higher echelon of elegant dress.

Hermès 35cm Rouge Garance Birkin, Stamped N-2010. Palladium Hardware Outstanding Condition, Never Used. Original Packaging Included. SOLD

We're just teasing...

We will be posting full pictures and details of these two fabulous new Hermes Birkin bags tomorrow. We will also be posting a secret Birkin not shown in the photograph (it is in a very classic and desirable color). Stay tuned!

And, yes. We know what horrible teases we are, but it's just too much FUN!

FEELS LIKE FALL AGAIN

I decided to post this Hermes suit with ostrich vest and trim because today I am wearing a wool three-piece suit today in Los Angeles. This Hermes suit is proper attire for today's gloomy weather that feels more like November than February (Los Angeles has been blessed with several days of sun). I know I shouldn't complain: I live in Los Angeles and the sun normally is quite consistent in my life, but the rain is comin'!

If you want to look chic in Los Angeles (or anywhere else with chilly weather), this is the lewk (ode to Brad Goreski) to sport. Reminiscent of Yves Saint Laurent's tailored clothes, this tweed suit includes a wrap jacket, pleated pants, and an ostrich vest. No Emu has been wasted as the jacket pockets and back shoulder are trimmed in ostrich and the inside leg of each pant has a patch of ostrich, too. Now what bag should you carry when wearing such a decadent ensemble? Why this ostrich Birkin of course...and carry an umbrella!

BIRKIN BIRKIN BIRKIN

One of our gloriously chic clients is cleaning out her heavenly closet and is sending us two authentic Hermes Birkins that will arrive NEXT Tuesday.

Pictures will either post on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, but we know what we are getting:

40 cm Olive Togo Birkin with Palladium Hardware (plastic removed from hardware but flawless)
35 cm Etoupe Clemance Birkin with Palladium Hardware (unused)

Currently we have the 30 cm Havane Birkin in Evergrain. SOLD So we can satisfy your desire for a 30, 35, or 40 cm Birkin.

REQUIRED READING FOR A REQUIRED BAG

This fantastic 40 cm Fjord Black Leather Hermes Birkin from 2000 with GOLD hardware. We all know that 40 cm Birkins are tough to find and gold hardware is so desirable, so satiate yourself with finally owning a bag that we call "required" at Decades. Naturally, we also think 25, 30, and 35 cm Birkins are required, too. As are 28, 32, and 35 Kellys. A few Constance bags...a Trim....a 404....well we could go on and on! This bag will not be in the store for long, due to the incredibly high demand and extremely low supply of these wonderfully large Birkins. If you want it, call soon or email soon because it will probably go within the hour.

Note: This bag is NOT priced at UNDER Hermes current retail price. Rather, it is priced at a premium OVER retail, so please consider this when making your inquiry.
