A Lady Gaga Holiday and a Twilight Thanksgiving

Just when you thought Lady Gaga has done it all, think again. We all know she is out to be the next lifetime legend, so it is no surprise that she has even released 220 Gaga-themed holiday gifts at Barneys New York. These aren't any small stocking stuffers either, think chocolate shoes for $95.  The shoe of course is the armadillo Alexander McQueen design Gaga wore in "Bad Romance."


The holiday gift collection was released last Monday before the Thanksgiving holiday and Lady Gaga herself appeared at Barneys in the afternoon, wearing a Chanel jacket over a large teacup skirt.

The former men's department is now "Gaga's workshop" with cookies, books, leather jackets and more housed in cartoonlike sculptures like below:

A quarter of sales through January 2nd (which is when the workshop closes) will go to Gaga's anti-bullying campaign, the Born This Way Foundation. When asked about the collection Gaga remarked "“Oh, it’s fun, it’s the dream of what music and culture are all about, and those are things that can get lost when you focus too much on commercialism. This is, for me, a much more whimsical approach, a Pop Art approach.” (Source: NYT.com)

While you may not be able to make it to NYC, check out Lady Gaga herself give a tour of the workshop here: http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/lady-gagas-barneys-workshop-exclusive-tour-15006133


While we're on the subject of holidays, hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend and if you saw Twilight with your sister like I did, or heck maybe even your fellow co-worker, you probably saw the gorgeous dress Bella wore to the vampire wedding. My favorite part of the movie for sure.

See for yourself :) The custom made Carolina Herrera gown took 6 months to make and came out a true beauty.




On the topic of holiday's don't forget today is Cyber Monday! Happy holidays and happy shopping to all. I already snagged this cutie today from the Kate Spade sample sale :

Enjoy!

Besos,

Totes Fashion!
