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.

Street Style Round-Up: In Living Colour

Bright pops of colour on anything and everything... flouncy little skirts...ah-mazing sunnies.

The end of the endless winter is in sight!

Now, can anybody tell me who that kick-ass blonde is in the second and third photos?
I found her! She's Elisa Nalin, a Verona-born, Paris-based stylist. Her home was also featured on The Selby awhile back for those so inclined...

Be Italian!

I adore Giovanna Battaglia's style, and this combo of white lace and sexy over the knee boots is fantastic! There will definitely be a Style Stalker feature on her very soon!

Bellissima

Tricky length and tricky color but she more than pulls this off, she looks absolutely fantastic!
