Money Management with Christophe Decarnin

Last week, the blogosphere was abuzz about Balmain's $1600 holey tee at Net-a-Porter--but Colette can top that. Interested in Christophe Decarnin's army-drab button-up, in 100% cotton (no, not spun gold)? It will set you back €3755.00--um, that's $5057.23. Rent money is the obvious monetary comparison Chic makes when faced with something so embarrasingly expensive, but what else could you get for five grand? A flirty Lanvin wedding dress, five pairs of Louboutins, about 17 pairs of Chloe sunglasses, or about 417 Marc by Marc Jacobs wallets.  Or you could get a weave. Choose accordingly, darlings!

Awwww! Thanks to Chic's preferred documentarian Olivier Zahm and his Purple Diary for capturing a lovefest between l'adorable Zac Posen and his even more adorable stylist Christopher Niquet, who celebrated his birthday sometime apparently recently with a "tea" party.

Darling, reading is chic! (This is far from a newsflash.) And we love the latest ingenious design created by Mate Olah to store your favorite livres. Don't you dare place this against a wall; the back is designed to look like a giant tome, complete with “My Books” scrawled on the spine. Take that, iPad!

Things to Discuss: Would You Wear an Anklet?

It's been a long time since we've given any thought to foot jewelry (since we lost that beloved toe ring in the pool drain circa eighth grade, to be exact)--but according to Joann Pailey, who edited the Elle Shops accessories section of the April issue, we should revisit the junior high staples. Just see page 172: yes, the anklet is back and glammer than ever, with diamond, pearl, and turquoise offerings from the likes of Louis Vuitton, Van Cleef & Arpels, Dior Fine Jewelry, and Monique Péan. Lanvin pumps with chains at the ankle are one thing, but an actual anklet? The jury's still out for nous. What say you, darlings: would you wear an anklet?

Who's responsible for this photo---PMc shutterbug Billy Farrell, who invoked his camera in the bathroom at the Crosby Street Hotel, or Andrew Bevan, who grinned and posed mid-sudsing? Regardless, one can't help but worship this classic OMG, PMc moment, captured last night at the Cinema Society's after-party for Paper Man.
