From Alexandre Mattiussi’s debut collection under his own label AMI; he was previously at Dior Homme, Marc Jacobs, and Givenchy. It’s a dark navy wool tuxedo jacket with black satin peaked lapels, two buttons, two flap pockets, a chest pocket, double vents and functioning cuff buttons.
Saw it and had to have it.

I like colorful shoes. It’s the Classic Brogue, done up in tumbled leather, with a 3 ply Goodyear welt sole.
I was fortunate to score a pretty good view (1st row balcony) for THE Muay Thai event of the year at Club Nokia. So special was the event that they delayed the start of it a whole hour to ensure that they could broadcast it live to Thailand… so there I sat…. with a cup of Oban 14-year scotch.
Well, the fight card was pretty amazing and was really worth the wait. The promoters matched up some of America’s best with some of Thailand’s great kick boxers. Specifically, Kevin Ross was going to seek redemption against Sakkedao Petchpayathai, while Joe Schilling was going to elevate American Muay Thai by knocking out Kaoklai Kaennorsing….that was the plan.
I attended the client preview of Bonhams’ upcoming Prints auction in Los Angeles. Of the 409 lots, these caught my eye…
Corner of Warhols, particularly liked the Liz, Lot 402 (est. $25-30K), and the Mick Jagger, Lot 404 (est. $20-30K)
Quick bite at Daphne’s. Had a gyro pita w/ tzatziki sauce, a side of fire-roasted vegetables, and another side of tabouli salad.
According to their website, this meal was 854 Calories!

met up with FC, a food blogger friend, for snacks and drinks at a place we’ve both been meaning to try… i’ve heard mixed reviews of the place, but was still curious to give it a whirl…
i started the night with one of their newest drinks, The Spanish Harlem – tanteo cocoa infused tequila, maraschino liqueur, agave nectar, chocolate-chili bitters.. though a bit too sweet for my tastes, it was still refreshing…
Forgive the craptastic photograph. All I had was an iphone, no lighting, and not very good seats.
Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Larry Bell, who is a featured artist of Getty’s Pacific Standard Time, reminisce about his days at the Ferus Gallery in the 1960s, and even talk up his latest show at Frank Lloyd Gallery, which is exhibiting early works that preceded his famous cubes.
Surprisingly, AH, who is Japanese, has never had Japanese fried chicken.
So, I took it upon myself to introduce her to some of her people’s deliciousness, and also to satisfy a craving =)

after dinner (we had yakitori at shin sen gumi), took ayami to have some of the best crème brûlée at the Ritz
