live in a glass house. imagine the most exquisite louboutin. and get puffy. that is, with this month's picks:
street
sense.
worn feet, rejoice. loeffler randall's taupe-colored matilde boot is as much function as it is fashion. the glossy leather finish on this knee high shoe ensures you'll be noticed on the street. the slightest lift on the heel ensures you won't dread walking on it. with this kind of panache, it's no surprise designer jessie randall won this year's cfda award for emerging talent. $695.
at poppy. 281 mott street. near houston street. 212.219.8934.
 damage control.
split ends. broken strands. sad hair. enter be healed, john barrett's new styling masque formulated to reverse the effects of harmful environmental damage. keratin and melon seed oil provides strength and nutrients to hair between treatments. pretty brown and pink packaging eliminates the medicinal feel to a wonder product. styling balm, shampoo and conditioners are soon to follow. $38.
john barrett salon. 745 fifth avenue. ninth floor. 212.872.2700. www.johnbarrett.com
 extreme jet setting.
starting this fall, india's little airline, jet airways, will make its north american debut in a big way. brand spanking new fleets of boeing 777's, airbus A330's and boeing 787 dreamliners will transport new yorkers direct to mumbai (via brussels). for first class passengers, caviar and champagne is not enough. private wardrobe space, 23-inch flat screen tv's, and 83-inch fully reclining beds should do the trick. www.jetairways.com
 fur the love of sequins.
sequins, fur. fur, sequins. for his fall collection, designer luca orlandi answered the question of which trend to indulge in this season. how about a little of both? luca
luca's gold sequin dress with mink insets gives us a reason to respond yes to every holiday cocktail party invite that comes our way. providing, of course, the same guests won't be there. $7,200.
by order only. 1011 madison avenue. at 78th street. 212.288.9285. www.lucaluca.com
 craving couture.
couture construction with ready-to-wear prices. sounds like a dream come true. christian
louboutins fulfills our fantasies with the anemone heel.
classic pointed toe construction in black satin makes it a classic. a decadent
handmade bow in the back makes it a statement. think of the alternative. a pair
of made-to-measure heels from christian
louboutin's rue jean-jacques rousseau atelier will cost $3,400. add
that to the cost of a ticket to paris and you're looking at a hefty price tag
for fancy feet. $950.
941 madison avenue. 212.396.1884. www.christianlouboutin.com
 puffy without the puff.
moncler has managed to do the seemingly impossible. create a puffy down
jacket into a lean silhouette. for more than 50 years, the italian label has produced warm outerwear. now the house produces warm outerwear that actually looks great thanks to former gucci women's wear designer alessandra facchinetti. www.moncler.com
 those who live in glass houses.
if you aren't lucky to count vincent gallo as a neighbor at the richard
meier-designed
perry street apartments, you can at least get a sense of his space. richard
meier: houses and apartments takes an inside look at the architect's impeccably decorated homes and residential projects in his latest coffee table book. the tome covers meier's love for glass structures and complex spatial designs in more than 250 photographs. $85. available at www.rizzoliusa.com
