Putting the Vamp in Vampire...

Aaaahhh... Carine... your pre-Halloween decadence warms the cockles of my cold, undead heart...
Some stand-out looks from Carine Roitfeld's Vampire Ball held last night to celebrate the launch of her new book Irreverent, which has a nice cozy spot on the early draft of my Christmas wish list.

Death Becomes Her: Carine Roitfeld

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld: babelicious demon spawn...

Anna Devil Russo! (yikes, these are getting worse and worse)

Anja Rubik: Mistress of the Dark

Karolina Kurkova looking quite Terri Nunn-ish.

Ricardo Tisci post-snack attack

Fangtastic: Karlie Kloss & Abbey Lee Kershaw

My favorite, I think: Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld & Giovanna Battaglia:

Bloody. Gorgeous.

The vamp next door, Miranda Kerr.

Angel of Death: Natalia Vodianova

Olivier "Type O" Theyskens

(Is this reminding anyone else of the credits on

Simpsons Halloween Specials?)

Must... not... use... words... "Wang Sandwich"...

(In other news, Vanessa Traina! Rrwwaarr!)

Like a red-hot poker brandished by Satan himself, that Bianca Brandolini is!

I'm not sure what's up with Beige and Beiger mucking up the

evening's colour palette like that, but I like it anyway.

Versace x H&M

More sneak peeks of the upcoming Versace/H&M collab have surfaced, this time in Vogue Russia. While I never rarely brave the crowds I do usually swing by H&M post-mayhem to see if the leftovers/returns tickle my fancy. While not ecstatic, I'm a little intrigued by what the collection has to offer, particularly the gold jewelry and the bright little mini shift dresses. But most of all I just want Abbey Lee's hair. What do you think of what we've seen so far?
