Ralph Lauren Fall 2012.
Give me anything I can wear in public that even vaguely resembles a bathrobe and I’m a happy camper.
I’m still feeling the colour red, but mixing it up with black & white and welcoming some holiday sparkle.
A winning combination.

Cruella for Christmas anyone?
Have you noticed how nails have become such a huge focal point lately?
Fail. I’m trying though. Really I am. I bought “Strong Nail System” and I think it’s maybe, sorta, kinda working.
As long as I don’t actually use my nails for anything.

At least I found her some eyelashes for the holidays at Shu Uemura

Do you have snow?
I went to choose our Christmas tree today and was worried that I didn’t have enough sun-screen on.
Tomorrow- I decorate. So much for my nails. After all these years, I’ve finally retired my old, rickety wooden ladder and bought a new metal one that even has my name on it. Alert the press.

i love everything about this post.
thanks for the inspiration!
Excellent post! Now I want to string lights in my room. Probably not very “grown up” but so what?
Fabulous !! As always….
Thanks for all the wonderful and varied entertainment over the past year! I am looking forward to more of the same next year. Wishing you and your family a Christmas filled with love and laughter. Warm wishes. x Sharon
I am always impressed with the way you curate your pictures, Slimmy. How do you do it. Great post.
Great post as always, thought of you while reading Vanity Fair’s Truman Capote article…have you read it yet? Lots about Babe and Slim…
No, haven’t read it yet, but my husband has and said it’s VERY dishy!
Amazing Slim, simply amazing!
Wow – everything was absolutely gorgeous!!! I am going to look at it over and over again. Beautiful post.
I love the red. The first image and Tartan Scot’s pooches are my favorites. Good luck decorating.
Mary
Reminded me of the old joke,,”What is white and black and red all over?….an embarassed penguin! Happy holidays–great post.loved everything including the guy thing.
Love the red and black. Yes, Tom Ford’s recent works are VERY naughty! Does Santa Know?
xoxo, Chris
Always save the best under a separate folder named “Slim”. Love this post. Sandra
So sweet! Thanks Sandra. Happy Holidays to you!
I know someone who would LOVE that typewriter. Do you think it’s for sale? And that typewriter dress! click click click click ding!
Oh yes, I thought of him immediately! A Christmas present perhaps??
Fun and eclectic choice of images Slim… love the red, the white and the black… Good luck with the tree… Happy decorating… xv
Loved the cruise through the rouge… red shoes are alway a favorite of mine.
What a fabulous post !
Helped keep me on tack with my Christmas decorating …
Thank you.
I adore the idea(l) of Slim Keith- do you think she looked like that every day? Everyone could look good dressed like her(minus the ciggy of course)
Still haven’t gotten my snow globe 🙁 and I want those Louboutin boots!!!!!
Love all of this although I could do w/out the nails and lashes. Regarding MDD, I’ve been fixated on Martin’s lip too. Jacqueline is my fave. I loved the scene when she was reading 50 Shades.
Ahhhhhh…….even though it will be 94° tomorrow here in Melbourne, and we’re going away for a spa weekend….I AM going to wear red, black and white…….the switched seasons be damned, it’s Xmas darn it, and I don’t care if everyone here is in turquoise and orange and hot pink!
Home to NYC for the holidays in two weeks! Do you think I can decorate in two days when I get there?Where DID I pack up those decorations when we left?
Thanks, as always, for the visual treats and inspirations.
Oh, forgot to tell you that I’m still wearing one burgundy nail on each hand with a different color of nails polish on the rest….thanks to your colorist’s assistant’s prior inspiration…….they think I’m very avant down here! I say, “Kudos to Slim!” and they think you’re some kind of guru……and you are!
🙂
Y:ou’ve made a red believer out of me…again. I had to use “diamond dust glitter” on my steps and drive for our Christmas party this week…go figure! Hah – we just watched “Oh Brother Where Art Thou” AGAIN for the umpteenth time…still humming. franki
Oh, I worry that the price request to Taffin is going to be one of those:”if you have to ask you can’t afford it”!
As always, a stellar post.
P.S Ah, now I see. the inspiration for “Slim” !!! How stunning she was! Now I will check out Ms Paley.
Reading a new post makes my morning coffee so much more enjoyable. I stole your Snow plugin for my site – thought you may like this one for Instagram, http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simply-instagram xo
Love this post…Slim Keith outfit here I come Saturday night (hope my stable friends do not read this blog). I have Evernoted this post because I love it so much!
Love this post -so inspiring. I think Pottery Barn has the best linens and fabrics at an unbeatable price – i’m always astounded. Sadly thats all they’re good for though!
Like a dog to a bone…I googled “Strong Nail System” instantly. I’ll give it a try. I’ve tried everything else.
Very pretty images and the furry shoes were good for a laugh. Actually the McQueen ones were too. Love the image of Slim. Chic and fabulous!! Keep the reds coming, I’m trying to work up some holiday spirit over here. The lashes will be on my list for sure this year 😀
Have a terrific weekend with your tree.
Delicious! So inspiring! Thank you for keeping all of us up to speed and cool! You are our gift for Christmas. M Hammerstein
Slim,
Great post, but I confess I was just a little depressed at the news that Brother is closing its doors. I had heard there was a cult following of typewriters.
Fun images, thanks. Good luck with the tree and decorations, I hope you’ll share some pics.
Karen
Slim, amazing and inspiring images. I love the black cape and the Color Block Coat!
Agree with Stefan, I love everything Pottery Barn especially the linens and throws!

Gorgeous Slim! I’m really into red this fall. I don’t usually wear red but lately I can’t get enough. Not sure what that’s about but it’s the root chakra. It’s survival. I love how your posts are one beautiful picture after another and just when you think there can’t be more, it keeps going. Beautiful and thankyou. I hope you’ll post pics of your tree!
Thanks Lisa! Pics of tree to come…eventually.
Funny, I never wear red and black these days and now I am getting a hankering. Thanks for the inspiration! And as for MDD, I am Mary all the way…except I find Ross and Jeffrey to be kind of adorable. But maybe that is just because I work with my husband, too. xx
Far, far too much to respond to at this late stage in the evening SP. You lost me (and won me) at the Cruella reference(s). As a child, admittedly–and I am a nice person–I was far more interested in the villains and villainesses than the heroines in Disneyland. Oops. And didn’t you just mean “Saint Laurent”? He is a pretentious twat for doing so if you ask me, but again, oops!
Those furry shoes are just …well.. the furriest!
Dahling…..truly a delicious post. You have more talent in your baby finger than all the Million Dollar Diva’s put together. I do know one thing for certain….one of them needs an intervention.
Love from NY.
Ditto what Dabbsie says…always amazed.
what a beautiful collection of red, white and black. jack would be SO proud.
merry christmas!
Your post is amazing…as always. This one is a keeper to enjoy over and over!
Slim, as always, love the post!! Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the red-black-white combination is my absolute favorite. Thanks for the fun!
I don’t know where you find all this fabulous stuff. I loved it! how great would it be to have that typewriter? So many good things here.
I’m a total Million Dollar Dec junkie. I’m so happy on Tuesdays. The show cracks me up. I love Mr, “Totally delicious,” and Kathryn, her maid and Mary and Nathan. Jeffery bugs me. Ross is cute, but seriously needs to lose the bun!
xx

You out did yourself. I love it all. Thank you.
SP, Cheers to Rouge and Noir!
When will Gaultier weave an ombre pantyhose (black at the toe and nude at the tummy)?
The first heels look like they have pomegranate seeds in them!
And I adore that typewriter dress!!!
And I really really REALLY want those speakers – so cool!!!
