Closet Casers, it’s time to say goodbye. As of tomorrow afternoon, Friday, November 20, Closet Case, will no longer be on TexasMonthly.com. A full explanation is here, where you can begin following me on Monday, November 23. Thank you, thank you for your comments and emails, but a new door has opened and I hope you walk through it with me.

It’s true. Our leader loves Fruit Loops. But more interesting than that, he’s got some serious stuff to say about working at Yves Saint Laurent, his thoughts about having kids, and why he’s happier than ever. He’s on the cover of The Advocate this month. Click here to read the full story.
Love him.
His remake of “A Single Man” is in theaters December 11.

Pamela Halverson has a pretty great furniture store in Houston, Texas Tuscan. The showroom, which has a new location at 1302 West Gray, carries lots of very traditional pieces, but I’m dying over these tables with nods to Donald Judd and George Nakashima.

want it? me, too.

Can you even get over how beautiful these are? And here you were all this time thinking you had to special order that table from some fancy pants design studio to get what you want.
TIMELESS by Naeem Kahn for HSN
Scoop your jaw up from your desk. Last Wednesday Naeem Khan debuted his everything-under-$400 collection of frocks for HSN and everything sold out in 10 minutes flat. I wasn’t able to catch the show, but I wanted you to see the looks because they are so gorgeous and it’s hard to believe that it was all available at such amazing prices.

There are a few things still available on the website, a cardigan, a skirt, a sequin-laden blouse. Hopefully, they’ll have additional shipments before the holidays as it’s so appropriate for upcoming parties.

HSN has been doing an amazing job turning their image around. Once just a late-night snooze fest filled with collectible dolls and ridiculous kitchen gadgets, now it’s the go-to channel/website for designer labels at much more doable prices. They have Scoop co-founder Stefani Greenfield’s line Curations, Miss Tina by Tina Knowles, Lou Lou De La Falaise accessories, and Nate Berkus and Carlton Varney have home lines. Badgley Mischka will have a special debut November 17 with their new collection for the shopping channel.

Marco Bicego and Saks Fifth Avenue have teamed up to offer an earring gift box set for the holidays. Both sets come with 18 karat gold posts, but the Deluxe set and Basic set differ slightly.

The Deluxe ($2,990) has pave posts, too, along with three other options for 8 different looks. The Basic ($1,590) give you four different options.
The cascade necklace, $98
Madewell has new merch in and the cascade necklace is just the thing to turn an otherwise humble outfit into something special. Also, beginning November 12 and running through December 31, bring in a pair (or two) of your old jeans and donate them to Young Audiences, a nationwide arts charity program for kids. The organization gets your denim and you get 15% off the first pair of new denim you buy in 2010.

Stella's shades
Stella McCartney’s super fab shades have arrived at ILORI, NorthPark Center, and that’s the only place you can get them in Texas for the rest of the month.
There are only four other boutiques in the US that are carrying her line – can you say super-exclusive – and the vintage-inspired looks feel a little like something her stylish late mother, Linda, would have worn.
